Flying in the face of the MSM narrative

With a thank you to Ann Coulter...

Taking into account their percentage of the population, economist John Lott determined that, between 2018 and 2024, transgenders committed a wildly disproportionate number of the mass public shootings -- 6.8 times their share of the population.

A list of high profile mass shootings committed by non-binary identifying individuals:

In 2018, transgender Snochia Moseley, one year into her pre-surgery hormone therapy, shot and killed four people at a pharmaceuticals distribution center in Aberdeen, Maryland.

In 2019, transgender Maya McKinney, born female, but who "identified" as male ("Alec" McKinney), shot nine students, killing one, at a STEM high school in Denver, Colorado, allegedly because they'd mocked her identity.

In 2022, nonbinary ("they/them") Anderson Lee Aldrich opened fire at a gay night club in Colorado Springs, Colorado, killing five.

In 2023, transgender Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who went by "Aiden" and "he/him" and was "miserable being raised a girl," shot up a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, killing six, including three children.

In 2024, transgender Genesse Ivonne Moreno fired around 30 rounds from an AK-47 into a Houston, Texas, megachurch before being taken out by a couple of off-duty law enforcement officers.

Just last month, transgender Robin Westman, who changed his name from Robert because, as court documents put it, he "identified as female and wants her name to reflect that identification," fired dozens of rounds from a rifle at the children attending Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, injuring 21 and killing two, ages 8 and 10.

Perhaps this is why the media is so desperate to pin the shooting of Charlie Kirk on right wing Magas.

According to a person who was recently murdered their deaths were worth it so you can keep your gun.

I don't buy that. But It sounds like you are basically saying that transgenders and the left are out murdering your side. Are you a scoreboard watcher? The percentage of mass murders and high profile killers on either side is infinitely small. It just makes big news.

All murder is wrong and both sides have gone way too far.

None of which establishes any causal link between this single characteristic and the crimes described.

Let us not forget that the president asserted without evidence within hours of the attack that the shooting had been carried out by a "left wing" person. It is the job of serious journalists to examine evidence and hold to account those in power.

More studies would need to be done to establish a casual relationship. I support that, do you? I'd like to know if there is an issue here since the precious media can't be bothered to take it seriously.

And? He turned out to be correct, didn't he?

Hm, yes. Can you point to any who do that seriously and not just for their own attention and vanity?

@SumKindaMunster To my mind, a more fruitful hypothesis would be to explore the relationship between widespread gun ownership and fatal shootings. But I understand that this is largely taboo in modern American discourse.

In his own mind and political circle, Donald Trump is never wrong. He made this assertion days before the attacker was even arrested which must mean that he has supernatural powers.

Correct. I used to be a little more flexible on this issue until the 2020 riots when the authorities decided to allow people to riot unchecked. I live in a suburb of a major east coast city and at one point, I could hear rioters shooting off guns, sirens and helicopters from my home. Had the rioters come to my house, would could I have done? Well fortunately I had a gun, it was loaded, and I was ready to use it. I won't ever make the mistake of assuming that the authorities have our safely and bests interests in mind, and will not support anything that limits Americans right to own firearms.

Yup. He might. He literally dodged a bullet last summer like Neo in The Matrix.

In any set of events that is not large enough to represent the entire population is is inevitable that the proportion of the people involved who have some specific identifiable characteristic will be larger in that set than in the whole population.

Without more information, including analysing for other subsets (red hair, flat feet, squints, acne, employment status, income, etc.) it is not possible to say how robust the conclusion is.

@ninalanyon Why are they different to you? You identify as trans, do you not? What's the distinction?
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@SumKindaMunster They are different because they are American. The general impression I have is that most Americans of all types are more likely to believe that deadly force is a rational solution to problems than are most Europeans. This is much more important to me than any individual persons gender.

Also the word trans is really not a well defined term. Some people use it to label anyone who is neither cis-gender nor gay. Others restrict it strictly to those who have had gender reassignment surgery, and others to some point in between.

My profile here has a T against it simply because I feel that neither M nor F describe me well enough, not because I believe that I am representative of all those who might label themselves, or be labelled by others, as trans.

@ninalanyon Americans typically are self reliant, and prefer to resolve things themselves, or within their community. They usually don't like the government stepping in to do it for them.

What you interpret as deadly force being a solution is just one possible solution. However, we are not afraid to see that solution happen, or use it ourselves if it comes to that.

Yes, I believe the vagueness around "trans" is purposeful. It's SUPPOSED to be confusing and vague, it makes it easier for more people to accept it. It makes it easier to dismiss accountability for actions like invading women's private spaces or their sports.

Thank you for clarifying your personal reasons for identifying as "trans". I do appreciate hearing alternate opinions and experiences on this, in my opinion, the issue has been hijacked by zealots and crazy people, it's rapidly becoming a dead end.
