School year is 'officially' open, again

Their writings and the labels on their guns were incredibly racist. They said nothing about being trans or that being the reason. This is not a trans problem it is a societal problem. Mental health assistance is not valued in this country. Mental health is actually mocked and defunded. By many including our own president.

"One of the YouTube videos posted the day of the attack showed antisemitic and racist slurs painted on an array of weapons."

I cannot quote your post as it’s written inside my quote. However, I’ll take your word that there were 5 trans shooters within what, the last 10yrs? Now take that same timeframe and how many mass shooters who were not trans. What does that number tell us?

The number tells you statistically that it’s a very alarming trend, because the very small amount of trans individuals in the country makes the number of mass shootings by transsexuals much higher than would be expected by population This individual said “he was tired of being trans” and wished he “never brain-washed” himself in a manifesto posted online. I fear that often some of these young people think switching genders will be a cure all in their lives, but if they are depressed or violent before the change, and they don’t get the help they need,then they will still have the same issues afterwards

Did you happen to look up the number of non trans mass shooters in the same timeframe? If you want to compare, then let’s actually compare.

Boy are you ever missing the point.

What point? I’ve acknowledged that all mass shooters have major mental health issues.

I’m merely saying if we want to talk about trans mass shooting numbers, then we need to compare non-trans mass shooter data

It's not a contest. If you see someone acting abnormal (and yes, identifying as "trans" is not normal), SAY SOMETHING! Don't normalize it, don't celebrate it, and for God's sake don't hide it from the parents. It's a cry for help no matter how much they might demand inclusivity.

To your point, that goes double for creepy stalkers like Kohlberger. Yeesh what a messed up world we live in.

Why don’t we just ban transgendered people. It would be so much easier than banning guns.

That's where we are headed.

Hmm...yeah. Missing the point again. I keep putting "trans" in quotes for a reason. Sure, there are real transgender people, living peaceful lives, not hurting anyone. But there are a staggering number of young adults coming out as "trans" these days that are not. They are going through this other thing called puberty, and as we all know, it's messed up. They feel like they are "in the wrong body" (which I think we can all relate to), and bought in to "trans" ideology as a means of coping. From there it's like a cult; it's a whole made up belief system with progressively more dire consequences, and anyone who speaks out against it is cut off and demonized. It's not real though and eventually, for some, the made-up world they live in collapses. No surprise that churches are targeted once you see it from that perspective.
I've mentioned it before, but if you really want to know more, "The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling" podcast is a balanced, good place to start;

I guess you have it all figured out, though I wonder how you’re able to distinguish between the real transgendered individuals from the fake ones?

Need to revive this thread because of someone who was DEEPLY IMPACTED by this issue… and that unfortunately was me.

Praise the Lord I evacuated when I did. The officials need to stop just TALKING about the issue… they need to ACT on it. If it means putting Disney-like security points, so be it. This is the second year in the row that my campus had something like this happen.

The government’s a platypus.

I'm not sure 'Disney-like security points' is answer to any campus security. Or what a platypus has to do with it

Thank you for posting this. I was confused as well.

Both cases. And when I mean “platypus” I mean the current state of our leaders in regards to these types of incidents-BAD.

If any other ideas exist, perhaps strengthen card IDs to where they’re required just to get inside a building. It’s not on all of them yet but it needs to be.
