  Crazy how you guys only care about gun violence when someone other than your own side does it. Especially given that most political violence is right wing violence.

  Announcing the shooter as trans front and center in the headline only serves to portray trans people as violent and dangerous, because where would fox news be if not for its continual perpetuation of bigotry against already vulnerable minorities?

  Most shooters are straight, cis, white males. Yet you’ll never see fox news with a headline going “X shooting suspect identified as a straight, cis, white male with ‘kill all blacks’ written on gun”.

    Ive said it time and time again, conservatives are not a monolith. Please stop acting like it.

      More people should hear and understand this on both extreme ends of the political spectrum.

      Don’t listen to people who broadly mock an ideology with straw man arguments and broad generalizations. That shit is for children.

      If someone says “conservatives always…”/“liberals only think…” or any variation just ignore them.

      Also it’s odd that you’re complaining that I’m grouping republicans together (for a post/article you guys agree with and support), but when someone comes along and says “dEMocRatS aRe VIoLenT” you’re silent.

      If you’re going to comment, at least try to address what I’m saying.

    You only think so because the media memory holes any shooting by a trans activist.

    Why do we not have the covenant shooters full manifesto? Why was it hidden for so long? Because it said things like this -

    Wanna kill all you little c*******," one page from the manifesto reads. “Bunch of little f****** w/ your white privlages f*** you f******.”

      You are factually incorrect.

      Of those, “the number of known suspects in mass shootings which are trans is under 10 for the last decade,” which translated to “1:880 [or 0.11%] of the 4,400 shootings” they recorded, he said.

    I think noting a shooter is trans is noteworthy because it’s very rare and may be related to their motive.

    But otherwise I generally agree with your statement. Worth nothing that the US Department of Homeland Security has considered right wing extremists the biggest terrorist threat to the US for many years.

      And why should I care what some government jerkoffs decide the narrative is?

      It isn’t rare at when you look look at the percentage of the population. Trans people are more likely to go on A mass shooting.

  The shooter may not be trans. It appears the shooter sometimes used a male name but identified as female and was born a female.

  This is such an odd case.

    Correct. The headline is complete bullshit, which is par for the course for fox news.

    But making trans people appear to be some giant threat took precedence over the truth. Gotta make sure minorities that are at risk for violence are at even more risk.
