Writes Newsweek, in "Natalie Rupnow's Reported Manifesto: What We Know" (about the school shooting that took place in my city yesterday).
The use of the word "scum" in a manifesto makes me think of "SCUM Manifesto," a 1967 feminist document. I discussed it back in 2017, when Facebook was banning some women who wrote about men as "scum." The "SCUM Manifesto" begins: "'Life' in this 'society' being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of 'society' being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and eliminate the male sex."
And yet, this new manifesto — what I'm seeing of it, anyway — uses the language of gender neutrality: "Humanity... people... society... parents." There is, however, "father." I see that Newsweek is using they/them pronouns for the killer.
Newsweek also reports President Joe Biden's hasty response: "We need Congress to act. Now. From Newtown to Uvalde, Parkland to Madison.... Congress must pass commonsense gun safety laws: Universal background checks. A national red flag law. A ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines...."
But when he pardoned his son Hunter for violating existing gun laws, Joe Biden attacked the prosecution as unfair and biased. One might have thought he'd refrain from calling for more gun laws when he so recently and conspicuously treated a gun law as not justifying enforcement. And yet didn't we all expect it — expect that next time there's a school shooting, Joe would indignantly cry out for more gun laws? #hypocrisy

Where is the evidence to support this thought? Why would anybody believe Biden has morals or fear of being viewed as hypocritical? When has the Left ever missed an opportunity to push their gun control agenda? I find it hard to believe the professor is this naive.
"Where is the evidence to support this thought?"
I said "One might have thought...."
One.
Might.
"And yet..."
There were many Biden supporters who touted him as highly principled. See my post about the NYT article "'How Biden Changed His Mind on Pardoning Hunter: ‘Time to End All of This’/The threat of a retribution-focused Trump administration and his son’s looming sentencings prompted the president to abandon a promise not to get involved in Hunter Biden’s legal problems."
https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-nyt-purports-to-show-us-how-biden.html
The Times portrayed the pardon as an isolated deviation from "a half century of principled promises as a politician."
Joe Biden principled? He took millions in bribes and the whole world saw it.
Apparently, from the article, the shooter had a boyfriend who has a friend who posted the manifesto on X. So if it’s valid, it seems a couple people knew she was going to do this, or some horrific act.
This girl boss thing is getting out of hand
The best argument in favor of guns came from the left and Biden in 2020 to 2022: Defund the Police plus COVID lockdowns = ineffective government. The pro-gun case has been further assisted by by Ukraine, Gaza Oct. 7, and the deranged drugged-up victims of Obamacame's sketchy and nonsensical medical treatments (transgender or otherwise).
Hypocrisy? Biden lacks the cogntive ability to hold any political position these days. New tag: "Elder Abuse" Every Democratic policy action comes from the back room. All Biden anti-gun stuff all comes from the mouth and direction of Michael Bloomberg; see his Everytown for Gun Safety. Per his 2015 leaked quote:
"95% of your murders and murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take the description and Xerox it and pass it out to all the cops. They are male minorities 15 to 25."
He continues: "That's true in New York. That's true in virtually every city in America. And that's where the real crime is. You've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed."
Bloomberg's idea of a solution? Flooding minority neighborhoods with law enforcement.
"People say, 'Oh my God, you are arresting kids for marijuana who are all minorities.' Yes, that's true. Why? Because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods. Yes, that's true. Why'd we do it? Because that's where all the crime is. And the way you should get the guns out of the kids' hands is throw them against the wall and frisk them," Bloomberg says.

I dislike Joe Biden but this seems a pretty lame and unfair attack on his statement. He wasn't wrong in claiming Hunter's prosecution for purchasing paperwork violations for a gun he no longer possessed was political motivated. The hypocrisy was in the claim the political motivation wasn't the Biden Just-Us Department run by Merrick Garland finding the least serious and politically damaging (to Joe) crimes to charge him. At least the liberals are being somewhat honest now and openly saying their objective is to remove all guns from the hands of law-abiding citizens by any means necessary.
In Chicago on December 12 and 13thfour black and one Hispanic men were shot and killed (Chicago Tribune).
Squirrel!
He brandished the weapon in a restaurant, which is why the paperwork violation became relevant. He could have pled guilty and the normal course of the case would have been referral to treatment for drugs, but instead he tried to wangle his guilty plea into a complete immunity from investigation. It's not quite as simple as you make it sound by simply ignoring the facts in the case.
"Time to end all of this" sounds remarkably similar to the email that Burisma sent to Hunter about two weeks before The Big Guy got Burisma's prosecutor fired through use of the powers of his office as Vice President.
Biden isn't actually involved in making any of these statements himself. Note too that Biden's handlers did not call for gun control after the shooting death of the health insurance executive. They're fine with gun violence when it suits their politics.
And of course for this kid to have this gun was already a violation of various laws.
Its the same rigamarole with zandy hook the shooter took the guns there but obama had to pontificate
Tox screen...on the killer too.
I guess my cynicism runs so deep I find it hard to believe any "one" might have thought this. At least, not anybody being honest with themselves.
Is the killer a leftie, a rightie, or unknown at this moment? At first read I thought leftie.
Of course the NYT can claim that, but again I ask where is the evidence Joe Biden has ever been principled?
Althouse shook the crazy tree this morning and a lot of nuts fell out.
Please don't assume that the Biden comments reflect his volition and agency. He is barely aware of what is going on around him, but his staff is well able to generate communications aligned with his erstwhile views. There is a good chance much of it was written by Chat GPT.
He wasn't wrong in claiming Hunter's prosecution for purchasing paperwork violations for a gun he no longer possessed was political motivated.
Actually, yes he was. And whether or not he still possessed the gun is irrelevant to the violation.
It looks like some of the comments I had in mind when I wrote the above are disappearing.
Be careful what you wish for when cheering on zealous enforcement of paperwork. That's got the potential to catch a lot more people making honest attempts to comply than the complete scofflaws. As I alluded, Hunter could have been charged with a lot of crimes but the ones selected were the least damaging. That he blew up the deal trying to accomplish other objectives doesn't change that.
As for Chicago crime states, scroll the list. There's an average of nearly 2 gun homicides a day, and my understanding is that other major cities with equally strict gun control are similar. Biden et al could pick any random day with a body count equal to the shooting in Madison to call for effective enforcement of illegal gun possession in those cities. But statements (and the crazies) don't come out until the victims are white kids and you can blame white parents.
The Times portrayed the pardon as an isolated deviation from "a half century of principled promises as a politician."
Not a subject for humor, I suppose. But the Times never ceases to bring the laughs. I couldn't help myself.
A scumbag is a used condom.
That's got the potential to catch a lot more people making honest attempts to comply than the complete scofflaws.
Indeed. The crime Hunter was charged with is bad law.
"War against humanity"- Otherwise known as the Democrat Party platform.
Interesting how there were no calls for new gun laws after the shooting of the UnitedHealthCare CEO. I guess that was different, being totally justified and everything.
Joe Biden hasn’t fooled anyone that isn’t desperate to be fooled for quite some time. For me not since he and a perjured Anita Hill tried to sabotage Clarence Thomas. No one who listened to the tape of Joe boasting about using the threat to withhold US financial aid to Ukraine unless they ended their corruption investigation into Burisma — an energy company that was paying his son quite handsomely for a no-show job. “Well son of a bitch!” says Joe on that tape. Yes, Joe, your mother was a bitch and you’re her son.
Althouse writes, "One might have thought he'd refrain from calling for more gun laws when he so recently and conspicuously treated a gun law as not justifying enforcement."
Isn't it a bit silly to expect someone as habitually corrupt to grasp that ethical inference?
On the other hand, there may be no hypocrisy here. Maybe Biden is just a meat puppet that speaks and acts with no will of its own. According to a recent James O'Keefe exposé, Joe Biden is as dead as a moving, breathing, speaking human can be. At least that's what a certain White House National Security assistant called Henry Appel has said. Whatever he says or does, whatever document he signs is meaningless to the mere husk of a man Biden has become. His words and actions serve the interests of the puppeteers alone.
On the other other hand, if Henry Appel works in the Biden White House, how can he be trusted to say anything true?
"When has the Left ever missed an opportunity to push their gun control agenda?"
When the victim is a CEO. Then they don't push their gun control agenda. Or even look that hard for him. Took a McDonalds cashier to catch Luigi.
Why no anti-heterosexual hate crime charges (yes, that is a category). Why no anti-Christian hate crime charges (yes, that is also a category). Where are the federal hate crime investigators?
This sort of case, and that of the other “trans” school shooter, is absolute proof of biased investigations in bias crime cases.
Lose these Jim Crow laws, or enforce them equally. You sure won’t like the statistics from the latter choice. Society’s self-proclaimed gender, gay, race, and ethnic “victims” will be wildly over-represented as the real offenders.
They/them don't identify as a Republican.
Classy move, standing on the still warm corpses of your neighbors children to make Biden look bad.
What is the purpose of further contemplating Joe Biden’s dishonesty and cynicism? Everyone already knows those are his two favorite flavors of ice cream. And we still are making this a “dad” story, rather than what it is: not about guns but about foreign influence operations involving the whole Biden family. Forget the gun stuff. Go after the fraud and conspiracy.
"And yet didn't we all expect it?" Yes. But there's no hypocrisy. Dems favor applying rules in a manner that favors Dems. They're principled that way.
How did a single girl become "they"? Do we need to respect the preferred pronouns of a murderer?
Classy move, standing on the still warm corpses of their neighbors' children to push their party's anti-civil rights agenda.
Just tell her to calm down.
Abortive ideation. Transhumanism. A wicked solution. An ethical religion. Biden et al are principled.
Joe Biden’s fraudulent election just reflects how deeply corrupt the Democrat party is. He was just a puppet that did what the progressives and hard Left wanted. In return, he got rich.
I really can’t understand how anyone can vote for the Dems these days,
Is it fair to call Joe a hypocrite? The response likely came not from the man, but from the stick above the strings. Did Joe even know?
To answer my own question, yes it absolutely is fair. If they're going to pretend Joe's in charge when it suits them, everybody else can do the same.
Trans/gender ideology. Semantic drift. Social justice anywhere is injustice everywhere.
I read on X that Trump won't do a thing about school shooters, but if we had elected Kamala, she would have ended them.
Extraordinary corruption. Progressive corruption.
School shootings are soap opera gold, as are warm corpses.
The best ever political use of such things was the prediction long ago that Barron Trump would become the first home-school shooter.
What is the purpose of further contemplating Joe Biden’s dishonesty and cynicism?
Because the media keeps insisting we believe otherwise.
serious question:
can someone tell me, the last school shooter that WASN'T on SSRI's?
we are MAKING our children CRAZY, and they're killing them
" When has the Left ever missed an opportunity to push their gun control agenda? "
well,
* when Trump was shot
* when the CEO was shot
never heard a peep about gun control from the left on EITHER of those
Channel 15 went with continuous coverage yesterday afternoon of the shooting, even though there really was nothing to report on. I suspect Channels 3 and 27 did as well. Our morning paper had nothing in it that I didn't already know from Reddit and Twitter/X yesterday.
The real belly laugh for me in the Biden excuse for his self serving pardon was when he claimed "selective prosecution" was somehow bad, and yet Trump has been selectively investigated and prosecuted since 2016.
our Professor said..
"Next time there's a school shooting, Joe will indignantly cry out for more gun laws."
if it doesn't happen in the next 6 weeks, Joe won't say ANYTHING..
In about 6 weeks, Joe is going to disappear from the face of the earth.
Not that Joe has ANYTHING to do with the Biden admin anyway; Joe is just a lump of clay.
As for the sad and terrible fate of Samantha Rupnow, perhaps the demons got in.
They'll do that, you know...sometimes.
Was the killer actually a boy or a girl?
The news reports "feminine gender".
"That has nothing to do with not letting a crisis go to waste" - CNN
Whenever one needs a reality check, see the blog “Hey Jackass,” a daily accounting of shootings ( not just murders, much more accurate that way) in Chicago every day. They even have a chart of where on the body the person was hit.
Some demons just make people annoying.
In the words of the philosopher Don Draper: Move Forward
Expecting consistency and logic from Joe Biden is pretty funny. Those things were never his strong suit even before his creeping dementia.
Biden: rules for thee, but not for me.
Chicago: most guns used in Chicago crimes are not lawfully held by the criminal committing said crime. Some of those gun are acquired by proxy buyers, many of those guns were stolen from other people who had lawful ownership. Note that many Chicago public schools have metal detectors at entries, to prevent students from bringing weapons to school.
Stricter gun laws: code for "no gun ownership unless you're a registered hunter/farmer", to remove lawful gun possession of weapons from most citizens. Our constitution stipulates citizens are allowed gun ownership; progressive-liberals still don't have legal right to overrule Constitution, but we're getting there re: gun ownership restrictions and censorship of free speech.
Juvenile shooters: MSM forgets to note juveniles are not lawful gun owners, so "stricter gun laws" largely irrelevant to preventing US school shootings.
Biden pardon of son Hunter: flagrant abuse of presidential pardon, intended solely to protect Joe Biden from federal prosecution of his financial crimes (evasion of income tax) and treasonous acts (acceptance of foreign bribes and acting as unregistered agent of foreign countries via son as proxy). Flouting the federal gun regulations by pardon was minor detail of larger goal of protecting Joe from "known and unknown crimes committed".
Don't we need to know whether the victims are the children of CEOs before we react? How can we know whether we should be cheering this or not?
Either way, more guns is the solution not the problem.
The WH (and their media apparatchiks) also kept telling us Biden was fit to be CiC; sharp as a tack, in command, never better, all while knowing perfectly well he was mentally incapable of holding the office. This has but the country in a dangerous position. Move forward? I think not.
Discuss and gilbar: touché
If it bleeds it leads.
If theys bleed they lead.
First off, on the UHC CEO, it remains likely to me this was in some way an inside job. A smart yet troubled shooter carefully plans a perfect assassination, has inside information on exactly where/when the CEO would show up, and executes a beautiful escape.
Yet 5 days later has abandoned all the careful planning and precautions?
...
On Hunter Biden, he was guilty. It was crystal clear he was guilty. He even negotiated a plea bargain accepting his guilt for a reduced sentence....except the Judge called out that the plea bargain offered blanket immunity from prosecution for unnamed crimes committed over a long period of time.
In other words, Biden's DOJ attempted to achieve the exact same thing via a plea bargain agreement as Biden was ultimately forced to do via Presidential powers.
There's no isolated incident here. There's no exception. And it has little to do with Hunter Biden's gun law violation. They sought a way to make Hunter immune for past crimes and do it in a way that wasn't public; when that failed, they did it in a way that is public and blames it on Trump.
This is plain day stuff.
Bad Christians taught her to hate and kill.
Madison community failed the kid. Sad.
I suspect Kamala would have been as effective as Clinton, Obama, and Biden at ending school shootings. Columbine 1999 (Clinton) shocked many for its novelity and rarity. Sandy Hook 2012 (Obama) shocked many for the killer going after very young children. Biden years...we are not shocked by the many female and transgender and Black and Asian shooters he inspired...
Obama/Biden policies resulted in shooter equity:
"Insane violence. it's not just for old White loners and Post Office workers. We defunded the police and denied that mental illness exists because non-Whites and non-males were underrepresented in the rage category."
The liberal/left doesn't want to enforce criminal laws or put crooks in jail. But they need a response, and talking points, every time a criminal does something bad or kills someone. So, they've come up with a talking point: "The guns are to blame". "Outlaw Guns".
The purpose is to have a response and do nothing about punishing criminals or making society safer. The liberal/left used to say "We need to get to the root cause of crime". But everyone now knows that BS, so they skip that part.
Biden just pardoned and commuted (sic) the sentences for over 1500 criminals. They were Non-violent, but many of them had committed fraud and stole millions of $$. One was responsible for selling a particularly dangerous type of meth, which killed several drug users.
Biden justification was we need to stop punishing people for non-violent crimes. We put too many people in jail. As Althouse points out, if you don't enforce the gun laws, then crying for "gun control" is meaningless. And IMO, that is why the liberal/left does it. Its their response to crime, that actually does nothing.
Pretty sure dopey Old Joe politicized the tragedy, no those responding to his hypocrisy.
I mean we don't even know the underlying facts. How can we propose laws to "fix" it? Or, does this event not really matter at all, are these victims just generic tokens that we can cash for all perceived "gun problems." Would banning "assault rifles" or "universal" background checks (codeword for a cool way to put poor minorities in jail for owning guns) have stopped yesterdays event? Does it matter? To some it does, to some it does not. To me, it does.
The whole gun control argument is just so tiresome. When have criminals or simply people with murderous impulses ever had difficulty in coming up with some device to accomplish their intent? After you control guns, what next? for Luigi Mangione types you'll need to pass "3-D printer control" laws. For Lizzie Borden types you'll need to pass "axe control" laws.
The movie "Minority Report" was likely prescient in envisioning a world in which "pre-crime thought control" would likely lead to the arrest of people who just think about committing a crime some day.
His family purportedly has "family" connections and runs a bunch of nursing home and (I believe) have some kind of stake in hospitals. With all of the Medicare/nursing home fraud that we know to exist, what are the odds realistically that the mafia is not getting a big piece of the action? And then there are the investigations for insider trading. Who know who could have been fingered there.
Man under investigation is killed by a mob family. What am I missing?
Howard, how do you know they are still warm?
Like a lot of people, I did join in the call to release the Nashville shooter's diary or notebook or "manifesto," but not without a little uncertainty or uneasiness. There was something a little wrong or strange in that agitation. I couldn't put my finger on it then, but now it occurs to me (too late) that releasing the "manifesto" made the shooter a hero and a model to some people.
It was enough to know from the few pages that were released early on that the Nashville shooter hated the "normal" (or in her eyes privileged), (at least nominally) Christian white kids at the school. Was a closer look into her psyche really needed or beneficial? I suppose if someone recognized the same symptoms and cognition in their child, or their neighbors' child, or in a pupil, they might be moved to intervene, but it's more likely that disturbed young people would be more receptive to the shooter's message than those around them would be.
If these murder trends continue, shouldn't these documents be called theyifestos?
How did the shooter get from san francisco to atlanta
Biden. Principles. One of these does not go with the other.
Joe Biden principled? He took millions in bribes and the whole world saw it.
Trump is doubling down on his promises to make it easier to sue for defamation (at least if you are rich and can afford to bring nuisance lawsuits), so I would be careful about defaming people.
Clusterfestos?
The manefesto is on X.
pagliacci the hated@slatzism apparently scooped the MSM.
You don't need X to view the manefesto just search for pagliacci the hated@slatzism to find the information.
The girl also went by the name Samantha, such a sick child. Very sad.
Hmmm, sure, more gun laws. Because those we ready have work so well. I.e. hunter biden. Yet another biden turd creature. And, all those urban denizens and detritus who work so hard at exterminating one another acquired their firearms legally. Perhaps we should focus on the criminal element, like the bidens for instance instead of punishing and penalizing the people who didn't commit any crime and are not the problem ? We should stop excusing those who are the problem, including the bidens and their ilk. Joey bidet is a pig and has been his entire career. There isn't a soul on the planet that doesn't know that, not one.
we need an FBI(D) that isn't corrupt and useless.
& we need to protect our children. Dems are not interested in protecting children.
The Abundant Life Christian School shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, has sparked unsettling comparisons after photos of the 15-year-old shooter, Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow, have emerged online of her wearing the same shirt as Columbine killer Eric Harris.
In one of the photos, Rupnow, who killed a teacher and student before turning the gun on herself, is seen taking a mirror selfie with a black shirt emblazoned with the "tumbling logo" design from the 1997 Symbols tour of German industrial band KMFDM.
Apparently, the band members cut words out of German newspapers, shuffled them together and then drew out the words "Kein Mehrheit für die Mitleid," which literally translates to "No majority for pity." They went with the initials, and many took them to mean "Kein Mitleid für die Mehrheit," or "No pity for the majority,"
.
This is part of a long term project that soros (sarah diamond) and joyce (bill ayers) had toward a gun registry and confirmation
This is where alex jones was lazy to the tune of a billion dollars
Just to be clear: It appears a handgun was used in the Madison incident. Calls for assault weapons bans seem in a little off target.
The fascist twats in government and positions of power want to do exactly that . Don't believe it ? How'd all that corona virus bullshit work out. If this were a different time all of the assholes wanting and accomplishing locking people, certain people in their homes would be swinging in the breeze. By the neck until dead. In light of more current events, I'm not certain that,that isn't a good idea. Hello, , fauci etc,etc,etc.
I first heard about the shooting on the radio home from work yesterday (I live in Sun Prairie, a suburb of Madison, and I work in Madison), and the station focused on the community response and one of the DJs implored everyone to focus on people and not exploit the tragedy for any cause. "People, not politics".
Not coincidentally, I also discovered Dvořák's Requiem yesterday on YouTube.
"...You've got to get the guns out of the hands of the people that are getting killed...."
Wait, what?
Biden has been consistently dishonest about guns, as evidence by the fact he keeps ignoring the laws already in place to keep them out of hands like this shooter, and one of his most often repeated false claims are that Republicans have offered no solutions to school shootings. We proposed bills to harden schools, add metal detectors, arm teachers who volunteer: all of them shot down (so to speak) by the Left.
Joe who?
No, Biden did that, you complete and utter potato.
Young women can't handle testosterone treatments.
My limited exposure to the TG phenomenon strongly supports the theory that TG is closely connected to mental illnesses such as autism, OCD, paranoia, schizophrenia, narcissistic personality disorders. The mentally ill are being herded towards TG.
i ASSUMED that the Professor meant Joe Biden
Let's look at why Hunter no longer possessed the gun. He bought it, left it in his truck (apparently not locked in a case or the like) for 11 days, at which point his dead brother's widow/his current girlfriend (ok, at least one of his current girlfriends) brought it to a grocery store and threw it in the trash, where it was then recovered by a guy rummaging through the garbage looking for cans to recycle. Further, it was the widow/girlfriend who eventually called the police, not Hunter himself.
So Hunter was far more negligent with the care and storage of his weapon than was the father of the Wisconsin shooter.
“ Or, does this event not really matter at all, are these victims just generic tokens that we can cash for all perceived "gun problems." Would banning "assault rifles" or "universal" background checks (codeword for a cool way to put poor minorities in jail for owning guns) have stopped yesterday’s event?”
Of course not. We already have universal background checks, and the likely murderer apparently (not surprisingly) utilized a handgun, and not an “assault weapon” (“assault rifles” are already mostly illegal, since they are classed as machine guns) to commit her deadly assaults.
Let's not to the rock and roll moral panic again. We've done this many times before and it always suck. 1 out of 5 Stars.
Yep, the number of "sudden onset gender dysphoria" among the Non-mentally ill is ZERO.
These kids are sad and unhappy. They aren't sad and unhappy because they are "trapped in the wrong body", they are sad and unhappy because they're mental cases.. Mental cases that are told that:
a) SSRI's will be the cure all
b) gender affirmation treatment will be the cure all
c) shooting up their school will be the cure all
drug use, self mutilation, violence aren't the answer.
There are NO cure alls.. These kids Need to learn to live with themselves.
Hey Freder, Biden would have to testify about whether he took bribes (truth is an absolute defense to defamation), so we would have to be very careful about bringing a defamation claim.
I believe, as a "they/them," the shooter was ambidextrous.
In the subject of enforcement of gun laws, when we first moved here, the city of Richmond was heralded as "The Murder Capital of the US.". It had the highest murder rate, and gun violence rate of any city. Then Mayor Tim Kaine decide go prosecute all gun crimes in federal court. This resulted in a drastic reduction of crime, as the felons were sent to federal prisons, far from Richmond. Alas, this did not last, as it was called " Racist;" most of the perpetrators being black. Tim Kaine is now a Senator, and ran for VP with What's-Her-Name.
“Trump is doubling down on his promises to make it easier to sue for defamation (at least if you are rich and can afford to bring nuisance lawsuits), so I would be careful about defaming people”
His proposed reforms are actually a lot narrower than that. His actual target is the “actual malice” standard in NYT v Sullivan. Currently, if the MSM defames a public figure, he has to prove “actual malicious” which is typically fairly difficult. It essentially excuses negligent defamation of public figures by the press. Trump was able to overcome this with ABC and Stephenopolis, but it’s rare. But this doesn’t really affect someone here calling you, say, a “child mutilation and murdering illegals supporting reflexive libtard”.
Mike MJB Wolf,
Except those are all bad ideas
(1) Please tell me you don't really want to make our schools more like prison camps than they already are,
(2) I know this will be outrageous heresy to many, but is the life of a 14-year-old high school freshman *really" orders of magnitude more precious than that of an 18-year-old high school graduate convenience store worker? Nobody's talking about providing metal detectors and armed guards for the latter person, though they are quite likely just as much at risk as the average school student.
Instead of doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on ever-increasing hyperintrusive government micromanagement, how about if we go back to the way things were in the '50s and '60s, or schools felt like part of the community instead of prison camps? And then add to that, get rid of all the stupid gun-free zone pretense, and make schools governed by the same laws that apply in general everywhere else?
“ Biden years...we are not shocked by the many female and transgender and Black and Asian shooters he inspired...”
See the comments on Chicago. The bulk of shooting deaths in this country are gang and drug related. That means, unfortunately, that Blacks are significantly over represented as shooters - and victims. Essentially black on black shootings.
Newsweek is not the only media outlet who is misgendering this girl. Apparently, they just assumed that she identified as transgender.
"I see that Newsweek is using they/them pronouns for the killer."
It would be disrespectful to do otherwise.
I’m ready to do it
I don’t know much about KMFDM, nor do I want to know, but the vibe strikes me as degenerate and nihilistic. I’m not even religious, but how much Jesus was that girl getting while wearing a punk rock (spare me the exact category of dreck it belongs to, please) tee shirt to church? The other students also seem to be fully secularized, conformed to the world, so what good does the school do at all?
The usual suspects re: gun control were silent after the UHC assassination.
It would be fun to see a bit of discovery on those 20 or so corporations controlled by the Bidens, the primary purpose of which seems to be to receive payments, and to move payments around obfuscating their source.
Puleeze sue Trump for saying this.
I wonder what the venn diagram looks like for the "All men are scum and we can live without them" feminists and the women who freak out if a man tries to "splain" how something works.
Trump was almost killed by an assassin using an AR15, yet he hasn’t called for them being banned.
"I see that Newsweek is using they/them pronouns for the killer."
If the shooter was trans, I think that makes the third trans mass shooter in recent years.
"Newsweek also reports President Joe Biden's hasty response:"
I suspect that Biden's staff wrote and put out this statement and that Biden may not even be aware that they did it.
We will never know without placebo rc trials. Either crazy killers are more commonly prescribed the pills or prescribing the pills makes you a crazy killer.
Pharma probably won’t fund the trial.
People who have never done anything except go to school want to be our teachers. Face it, it's easier to become a certified teacher by shooting someone in the back than by years of work and effort and scrimping. And people who have an agenda are getting hold of these wannabe teachers and assisting them toward their dream.
I think this shooting is another in a series of psy-ops - someone got hold of this girl in her misery and told her she could make a point, just as, in my opinion, happened to the Butler shooter and the Backshooter. The drones are another form of psy-op. We voters are sinners in the hands of an angry media which is assisting whoever was behind who ever was running Biden in attacks on our nerves in retaliation for Trump's victory.
Start wih the drones. The drones are making a point. This is a theory I got from Walter Kirn (he is on Racket with Matt Taibbi.) Kirn thinks the drones are a psy-op which will build toward the idea that it would be dangerous to go to the Trump Inauguration - scaring people merely to make Trump look bad. (And Kirn thinks that Trump addressed the issue of drones in his latest press conference in which Trump implied he had been briefed, said there was no danger, and said the government had no reason not to explain the drones to the people.)
I feel that Kirn's explanation must be at least truth adjacent because the drone story is like other stories in the media these days, When I read or listen, I can feel how, as Kirn says, the main narratives are a little too much like a Young Adult story to be true. The Backshooter - an anticapitalist hero who is making a point. He holds onto the evidence against him till the police finally catch him five days later in order to make certain that he can go on trial and claim the wrongs of society drove him mad. He hopes to get off with the first Foucault insanity plea - insanity due to a wish for social justice which can never be achieved in Amerika, so Amerika is the real killer but will never be put on trial except here through my body. He'll soon be saying. Free Luigi, Free him Now - the chant begins.
Then there's the girl at a Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin who commits suicide after shooting classmates to make a point. We supposedly don't know what the point is yet but we'll soon find out that Khristian Amerika is the real killer because that Young Adult narrative is what plays in Peoria, I mean Madison.

Wasn’t she a lesbian soccer player?
“there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and eliminate the male sex."
“Instituting complete automation won’t work, not enough female engineers, just save some men to do the work and get them to be your slaves by giving them massive amounts of sex.
@Bruce Hayden: Yes, of course. But gang and drug crimes are not performed insane people, these are local warlord turf wars and crimes among criminals who cannot use the regular court system.
The media tries to hide the black on black crime to reduce stereotyping...but it doesn't work. This is why they've focused on crazies and (statistically rare) mass shooters. These were previously mostly "safe to stereotype" white guy loners.
Andy Warhol looks a scream… scumshot
"...the author writes that they have 'grown to hate people, and society' and calls their parents 'scum.'"
"The author also writes that they acquired weapons 'by lies and manipulation, and my father's stupidity' and describes wanting to die by suicide, but feeling like carrying out a shooting was 'better for evolution rather than just one stupid boring suicide.'"
Knowing something about the curricula at Abundant Life, a partner school to High Point on the West Side, my guess is that 'they' were not indoctrinated with such thoughts at that school.
X is major media now.
Boyfriend has stated that the manifesto was sent via WhatsApp, but that he didn't open and read it until the shooting had occurred. Timestamps on screen-shots I've seen supports this timeline.
False, Enigma. First of all, recent DNA testing has shown that black men have long been statistically underrepresented as serial killers, just as they have long been known to be vastly underrepresented as both intra-- and interracial rapists. They dominate in both crimes.
Wrong, Bruce. The distinction between classified gang crime and individual “crazy” crime demonstrates under our current law that gang crime more closely resembles the characteristics of the lynch mobs of 75 years ago, in behavior, organization, power, and intent. So why exclude them? Ask Eric Holder or Abe Foxman. They were after statistics, not justice.
Given the extremely small proportion of crazy school shooters, there is no sample size beyond nearly the entire population that could detect the signal.
Hypocrisy is the compliment vice pays to virtue. And we're talking Bidens here, so we're talking vice. Thus their hypocrisy is a logical expection.
