"That obviously doesn’t mean transgender people are more likely to go on mass shooting sprees."
Uh, I beg to differ. Statistically, it may be hard to prove with so few events, but I suspect a thorough honest review would uncover a lot of similar events. Between the underlying mental illness, the drugs they are given, and the violent culture they are creating and immersing themselves in, this demographic is proving to be untrustworthy of social protection.
Think about how disheartening it would be to be Trans. No matter WHAT YOU DO, no matter how many surgeries, no matter what you wear, or how you act, you will NEVER, EVER change your physical gender. You can look like another gender, but you will never, ever accomplish the transition. At some point, I can see how that eventual frustration leads to violence to themselves and maybe others.
I really don't care, for that kind of excuse in particular. Lots of people have challenges and difficulties in life. They don't use it as an excuse to shoot children or other adults That sort of mental illness needs to be caged or eradicated, especially if it is as inevitable as you seem to imply.
At the least, may we call out the need for counseling? You effen’ secure the doors so there is no escape? For children — worshipping? This always ONLY happens to Christians and Jews.
I am so sick of no actual accountability for this ****. This is not about guns. This is about ideology. Which is presented without challenge. There is a huge sickness here. We will see what is next.
Are you kidding? Listen to the Minnie mayor. They are all in on the transgender movement. That he can elevate that issue when there are dead kids in church pews. What the hell happened to the Land of 1,000 lakes.
"Mass shootings" is an ill-defined term, often abused by anti-2Amendment groups for political propaganda purposes. Anyone making claims like that is immediately suspect.
What matters more than the number of people shot is the motivation of the shooter and the relationship (or lack thereof) between the shooter and the victims. Nobody cares if gangbangeers shoot it out. It's when innocent people are targeted, like a terrorist attack. These trans mass shootings are more akin to terrorism than anything else.
But when "gangbangers shoot it out", innocent people frequently get caught in the crossfire. I agree with you that "Mass shootings" is not well defined. Also, there are dozens of murders per day in the U.S., plus lots of other mayhem, but the news media tend to focus on spectacular events involving multiple victims.
Being unlucky to be in the crossfire is far, far different than being targeted because of your innocence and normality, if we're going to talk about appropriate punishment for the shooters.
Well the FBI defines Mass shooting as “an event in which one or more individuals are actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.”
No number defined. Most stats use four or more people hit. It’s mass shooting, not mass killing.
And we've seen their reluctance to share information about the shooters and their "manifestos" in the past, so being able to accurately ascribe things to trans murderers will be difficult.
At some point doctors need to sound the alarm on the drugs they are giving these people who are 'transitioning'. From what I've read, many of these drugs can lead to dangerous delusions, psychosis, and violent behavior.
The link seems very clear - why is no one talking about it?
I just checked Yahoo.com, BBC, and ABC news and between the three, they don't report a fraction of the information Sasha shared. The ABC affiliate acknowledged that the shooter had "transitioned," and that's about it.
It's not that they don't have info. Sasha and Erick Erickson certainly do. The MSM's bias won't allow them to elaborate..... until they (and democratic leaders) can figure out how they want to spin it.
Except as a PR branch of the democrats, the MSM is worth nothing.
My local Boston NPR station this afternoon on my drive home was providing an important interview with a “Palestinian” man who just published a cookbook of “Palestinian” recipes for cooking vegetables. 🙄
I do think it’s a good idea to be aware of what they are saying, though. People need to be informed about what’s being normalized by outlets that so many believe.
They'll make it about the guns (again), then it'll shift to it actually being the Christians' fault because of their faith and rejection of transgenderism, then ultimately it'll end up being Trump's fault, for something.
How on earth does a family exist with a member like this unaware of the potential for such a tragic outcome? How did he amass this amount of weaponry and ammunition into his bedroom without notice by them? I know it must be investigated, but dear God they must have been stupidly naive or intentionally negligent. What a needless heart breaking day for everyone! There must be some accountability here.
You are correct I do know you can get 50 or 100 round magazines and I'm sure you did the research and looked it up but you stated 45 rounds so when you made the comment if you knew there were 50 round magazines you would have said empty 50 rounds not 45. There is no 45 round magazine for an AR-15.
That makes sense; the "manifesto" video showed a semiautomatic rifle with many 30 round magazines, a semiautomatic pistol with what looked like several 9mm magazines, and a revolver. I think there was also a shotgun.
Guns and ammunition are not cheap. So how exactly did the mentally ill kid get them? Parents or his friends, nobody knew? Ok lol. I’m sorry but I do not believe anything in the news. I only found out about it on Substack. Let me guess -the shooter killed him self. I smell fake BS. I need to look into it more. But the other shootings have been BS. So likely this is too!
Amen to prayer. Transgenderism is an affront to God, allowing Satan to enter in. These acts are the acts of the devil, and will continue as long as these sins are committed.
Satan is embedded in our DNA at the very core of our being. He’s always with us and has always been in. How about some prayers for the poor souls trapped in Gaza being exterminated by the Great Satan, Israel, and their junior partner, the Little Satan, America?
Why is Israel being allowed to carry out genocidal acts in Gaza? (5 min)
Guess what cupcake- most people could not give a damn about what happens to the people of Gaza. Their celebrations at the slaughter of those kids at a music festival, let alone on 911 burned up all my good will.
Well Seva...most of the world recognizes that the Gazans allowed Hamas to to start this disaster, and perpetuate it. But I guess there is no accountability, in your world. That fact is exactly why the US has disintegrated...no accountability. Why hasn't Hamas negotiated for peace? Why hasn't Hamas released the hostages? Yes the hostages THEY took? Why Seva? So you take this tragedy and use it to bring up Gaza. I believe most thinking people know EXACTLY who the real devils are.
Somebody always finds a way to talk about Gaza- no matter how unrelated to the actual subject matter it is. Its getting rather tedious and it isn't particularly effective so I don't know what compels them to continually keep doing it.
Satan may be in your DNA, however I am a child of God, and received my sin nature from Adam, as did all believers. As to hurting for the children in Gaza, as long as you'll bring up a subject to change the conversation, what do you think about the Muslim grooming/rape gangs in Europe? Would you indict all of Islam for their actions? Hamas started a war. They're not winning. They have subjugated the Palestinians for their own political purposes, and do not sue for peace because the women and children being killed is a public relations bonanza to them. Life there has little meaning to Hamas or any other terrorist organization.
Teachers told my parents that my younger brother had "ADHD" and needed Ritalin when he was in Kindergarden. He was 5 years old. My parents said No Way. They said, let him get some time to run around and work off some energy. By first grade, he was one of the top students at school and continued to do well in school afterwards.
I think at some point ADHD became a convenient "catch all" diagnosis that was often applied to naturally restless school children who didn't like having to sit still and stay quiet for long periods of time. I attended Chicago public schools for K-12 from 1949 to 1961, and I remember one boy in grade school who got up and ran around the classroom drawing pictures on the old-style black chalk boards of volcano-like objects that he labeled "Mount Vesuvius". He did this spontaneously, unbidden by the teacher. I suppose that these days he might be diagnosed with ADHD and put on drugs that kept him docile but deprived his classmates of his entertaining behavior and artistic creations.
Satan ate the heart of this killer. Had he actually paid attention to his true identity as the Image of God, he might have realized the evil of his own intent inspired by the devil and sought the solace of his Creator. Then this would have never happened.
Guns just don't leap off the table and start firing. But-- we have two huge issues going on in this country, and they are very much intertwined: A mental health issue and a drug issue. Of course, that won't stop the hysterical left calling for 'gun control' laws. As they ignore the sick and drugged....
As always, follow the money... Asylums are expensive and not 'politically correct'... But--there's money in them-thar drugs--lots ands lots of it. Why do you think every other commercial on TV is for the pharma companies...
Does the mRNA 'vaccine' ring any bells?? (except the side affects weren't even listed--as they didn't really know. It is rearing it ugly head now--and will accelerate...)
We can open all the institutions we want but without qualified staff it won't matter. You need doctors, nurses, psychiatrists etc. .How many young people go in to those fields with the goal of helping the mentally ill?
Transgenderism, surgically removing body parts, feeding children and adults hormone blockers and opposite sex hormones — with the approval of some politicians and some physicians — none of this is normal human behavior.
What kind of a man was the father who petitioned the court to change this demon’s name? There is something deeply wrong with a parent or other adult who enables or encourages this insanity. Maybe instead the father could have petitioned the court to have the demon committed to an asylum.
Go ahead and say it. The shooter wrote “6 million is not enough” on his gun. Maybe if the job had been done, the Palestinians would be living happy lives now. Isn’t that what you really mean?
What I really mean is that it’s grotesquely insane for people like you to be so full of love for that rabidly insane beast Israel. I intensely hate that place and so does most of the world. I see no possibility of it surviving so much hate.
"That obviously doesn’t mean transgender people are more likely to go on mass shooting sprees."
Uh, I beg to differ. Statistically, it may be hard to prove with so few events, but I suspect a thorough honest review would uncover a lot of similar events. Between the underlying mental illness, the drugs they are given, and the violent culture they are creating and immersing themselves in, this demographic is proving to be untrustworthy of social protection.
One only has to wade into the sewer of comments that come from Trans-activists directed to any who disagree with their ideology.
I personally have never read anything as disturbing as what comes out of the mouths of these individuals.
It doesn’t come from their mouth…it comes from their heart. But I take your meaning.
Think about how disheartening it would be to be Trans. No matter WHAT YOU DO, no matter how many surgeries, no matter what you wear, or how you act, you will NEVER, EVER change your physical gender.

I am so sick of no actual accountability for this ****. This is not about guns. This is about ideology. Which is presented without challenge. There is a huge sickness here. We will see what is next.
Not to mention the horrible physical after-effects of the surgical procedures.
Indeed. The ultimate tragedy plus irony is that having gone to such efforts, they then will be seen as monstrosities by both males and females.
Are you kidding? Listen to the Minnie mayor. They are all in on the transgender movement. That he can elevate that issue when there are dead kids in church pews. What the hell happened to the Land of 1,000 lakes.
Actually, statistically, there should be enough data. There were over 30 masa shootings in the month of August alone.
"Mass shootings" is an ill-defined term, often abused by anti-2Amendment groups for political propaganda purposes. Anyone making claims like that is immediately suspect.
What matters more than the number of people shot is the motivation of the shooter and the relationship (or lack thereof) between the shooter and the victims.

Being unlucky to be in the crossfire is far, far different than being targeted because of your innocence and normality, if we're going to talk about appropriate punishment for the shooters.
“Mass shooting” is a weapon of the left to create a narrative.
Well the FBI defines Mass shooting as “an event in which one or more individuals are actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.”
No number defined. Most stats use four or more people hit. It’s mass shooting, not mass killing.
And we've seen their reluctance to share information about the shooters and their "manifestos" in the past, so being able to accurately ascribe things to trans murderers will be difficult.

The link seems very clear - why is no one talking about it?
Yes. Lock them up.
Eternal rest grant unto them, oh Lord
May the perpetual light shine upon them.
...And may their souls and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace.
Amen.
Thanks for finishing the thought…
Amen. I went to a different Annunciation BVM; in PA. Heartbreaking.
You can be sure this is going to be swept under the rug asap.
Do your part and archive what you can – videos, manifestos, etc.
Watch and ridicule the MSM, for the ways they are sure to contort themselves to avoid speaking plainly about it.
I just checked Yahoo.com, BBC, and ABC news and between the three, they don't report a fraction of the information Sasha shared. The ABC affiliate acknowledged that the shooter had "transitioned," and that's about it.

My local Boston NPR station this afternoon on my drive home was providing an important interview with a “Palestinian” man who just published a cookbook of “Palestinian” recipes for cooking vegetables. 🙄
How do they have cookbooks when they're starving? 🤔
To be expected. But, uh, why the heck were you listening to Boston (or Prov) NPR stations?
I was flipping stations, and my usual favorites were in commercials or playing music I didn’t like. 😕
Thats like selecting the lobotomy option.
I do think it’s a good idea to be aware of what they are saying, though. People need to be informed about what’s being normalized by outlets that so many believe.
Try audio books, save yourself from some looney tunes ;-}
It will be bizarre watching them twist, obfuscate, and lie. Sad and sick.
They'll make it about the guns (again), then it'll shift to it actually being the Christians' fault because of their faith and rejection of transgenderism, then ultimately it'll end up being Trump's fault, for something.
How on earth does a family exist with a member like this unaware of the potential for such a tragic outcome? How did he amass this amount of weaponry and ammunition into his bedroom without notice by them? I know it must be investigated, but dear God they must have been stupidly naive or intentionally negligent. What a needless heart breaking day for everyone! There must be some accountability here.
how does he fire 50 shots without interruption
An AR15 takes about a minute to empty 45 rounds.
Only if someone pulls the trigger.
A 30-round magazine can be emptied in about 15 seconds.
A common magazine size is 30 rounds. You shouldn't be commenting on things you don't know anything about.
Nor should you be intentionally misleading. As you know you can get a high capacity drum magazine that holds 50 or 100 rounds.
You are correct I do know you can get 50 or 100 round magazines and I'm sure you did the research and looked it up but you stated 45 rounds so when you made the comment if you knew there were 50 round magazines you would have said empty 50 rounds not 45. There is no 45 round magazine for an AR-15.
That was an approximate rounds per minute. Not by maga zine
I heard 3 guns were used, probably one with at least a 30 round magazine.
That makes sense; the "manifesto" video showed a semiautomatic rifle with many 30 round magazines, a semiautomatic pistol with what looked like several 9mm magazines, and a revolver. I think there was also a shotgun.
Question comes back to...how did this guy amass this amount of firepower and ammo, especially in Minnesota.
Guns and ammunition are not cheap. So how exactly did the mentally ill kid get them? Parents or his friends, nobody knew? Ok lol. I’m sorry but I do not believe anything in the news. I only found out about it on Substack. Let me guess -the shooter killed him self. I smell fake BS. I need to look into it more. But the other shootings have been BS. So likely this is too!
Likely used the parents' credit card. Time to after the parents because they didn't keep the card sufficiently secured.
This is squarely on democrats and vile enablers like Tampon Tim Walz.
We have a mental health crises in this country. They have no where to go and very few people to help.
Amen to prayer. Transgenderism is an affront to God, allowing Satan to enter in. These acts are the acts of the devil, and will continue as long as these sins are committed.
“allowing Satan to enter in.”

Guess what cupcake- most people could not give a damn about what happens to the people of Gaza. Their celebrations at the slaughter of those kids at a music festival, let alone on 911 burned up all my good will.
You’re a despicably vile ghoul and a good example of why America is disintegrating and why so much of the world so deeply hates Israel/America.
You live in a dream world.
In that case, so does most of the world and this will have a profoundly negative effect on our once great nation.
Well Seva...most of the world recognizes that the Gazans allowed Hamas to to start this disaster, and perpetuate it. But I guess there is no accountability, in your world. That fact is exactly why the US has disintegrated...no accountability. Why hasn't Hamas negotiated for peace? Why hasn't Hamas released the hostages? Yes the hostages THEY took? Why Seva? So you take this tragedy and use it to bring up Gaza. I believe most thinking people know EXACTLY who the real devils are.
Some insane maniac slaughters children, and all you can think to do is try to turn it to Gaza.
And its others who are despicably vile ghouls?
1000% Pat.
Somebody always finds a way to talk about Gaza- no matter how unrelated to the actual subject matter it is. Its getting rather tedious and it isn't particularly effective so I don't know what compels them to continually keep doing it.
Thank you Pat.
Some insane maniacs in Israel are shooting and starving children in Gaza and you have no problem with it? You are a very sick person.
I would prefer no children died in Gaza, but that is what Hamas wants.
Who are you to deny what they want. They demand rivers of blood and they will get it no matter what.
Any, continue troll, hiding behind your little alias
BINGO! I have ZERO problem w/ Israel's response. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, they're doing so w/ too soft a hand.
I really don't. Start a war, reap the whirlwind.
Satan may be in your DNA, however I am a child of God, and received my sin nature from Adam, as did all believers. As to hurting for the children in Gaza, as long as you'll bring up a subject to change the conversation, what do you think about the Muslim grooming/rape gangs in Europe?

Hormones and mind altering drugs in young people. Whether it’s cross hormones or SSRIs. The chicken are coming home.
Every teacher that told parents to put their kids on Ritalin or adder all should be hung, drawn and quartered.
Teachers told my parents that my younger brother had "ADHD" and needed Ritalin when he was in Kindergarden. He was 5 years old. My parents said No Way. They said, let him get some time to run around and work off some energy. By first grade, he was one of the top students at school and continued to do well in school afterwards.
Same with my son in first or second grade. He’s a CEO of a global company now.
He sounds like he was a NORMAL little boy! Kudos to your parents for protecting their children.
I think at some point ADHD became a convenient "catch all" diagnosis that was often applied to naturally restless school children who didn't like having to sit still and stay quiet for long periods of time. I attended Chicago public schools for K-12 from 1949 to 1961, and I remember one boy in grade school who got up and ran around the classroom drawing pictures on the old-style black chalk boards of volcano-like objects that he labeled "Mount Vesuvius".

I suppose that these days he might be diagnosed with ADHD and put on drugs that kept him docile but deprived his classmates of his entertaining behavior and artistic creations.
And not necessarily in that order.
Thank you, Sasha, for recognizing this as a church shooting and for the perfectly appropriate prayer (Annunciation Catholic Church... Mary.)
The dehumanization of Humanity seems to be the obvious cause of such an act of hate ending in slaughter of unarmed children
Thank You Sasha for tackling this head on
Shooter is a Transgender Leftist Marxist
Good qualifications to run for mayor of any lefty blue city out there....
You forgot anti semitic would be Trump assassin!

If so it’s obvious it didn’t work.
Thanks for your prayer, Sasha. One Bread, One Body.
John 3:16
‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.’
Trans people are mentally ill. Shooters are mentally ill. There is a screaming connection.
Much of our rotting society is flat out insane. That’s a connection to a great many of our ever more severe problems which are killing us.
Go ahead and say it. The shooter wrote “6 million is not enough” on his gun. Maybe if the job had been done, the Palestinians would be living happy lives now. Isn’t that what you really mean?
What I really mean is that it’s grotesquely insane for people like you to be so full of love for that rabidly insane beast Israel. I intensely hate that place and so does most of the world. I see no possibility of it surviving so much hate.
