    Don’t wanna come off as too much of a tin foil hat, but it’s a little strange that this just happened after Tucker Carlson was “warning” of arming trans people and while Anti Trans legislature is in the mix.

    Is it a possible false flag? Am I being insensitive as a person or is that just cause the amount of shootings?

      I don’t think you need to put on a tin foil hat to think about how this will make sure trans people get even more vilified. False flag? I don’t know. But they will probably not let this slide without getting some anti trans shit going.

      May be. Could also be that because of the likes of Carlson and the aforementioned legislature, trans youth are becoming more alienated than ever. This is not to sympathize with or forgive a mass shooter. But we know the root cause of this shooting epidemic is alienation, more often than not leading the shooters to becoming Nazis. I find it feasible that a trans kid could snap like this, is all.

        That’s also a possibility. Either way this could trigger a bloody back and forth of shootings between fascists and trans youth, where the trans youth clearly are not in a position win out. It would alienate many would be allies by attacking school children with acts of terrorism and not an organized struggle against fascism and the state.

        On top of that with the new surveillance state law getting pushed, we are living in scary times.
