Becasue school shootings happen in every other country by people getting the same medical treatments and meds.

All this tells is is MTG got fooled by an old 4Chan meme.

The shooter was MtF FtM trans, just not whoever that is.
This is being reported several by major news outlets.

I think you mean FtM. They are kind of basing it on a LinkedIn profile where the person was female but chose to use he/him pronouns, and also used the name "Aiden" instead of "Audrey" for some professional work.

None of that means anything of course. Not everyone who does that is on hormones or medication.

Guns don't kill people. Hormones do?

Ah, OK missed that:

https://news.sky.com/story/nashville...lding-12843695

I guess this just shows America is the equal opportunity land of the free success story they say it is, where anyone can participate in a mass shooting.

/This is not going to go over well.

Devastating that innocent children can be murdered in their school and it results in the same politicking, memes and banter. God imagine your child being gunned down during recess and they become cannon fodder.

3 children are dead. That seems to be lost in the discussion.

Jesus the USA just sucks.

Really odd how conservatives are mum on other shootings but are frothing at the mouth at this one because trans.

Time to round up all the trans folks and throw them in a gulag to protect our children.

Nothing to do with the guns of course.

Guns aren't the problem guys.

Did you know Drag Queens kill ~110 people per day in the US?
That's over 40,000 deaths per year caused by Drag Queens.
In fact Drag Queens are the number one cause of death for children 19 and under.

Why is everyone so concerned with guns, when clearly the issue that needs to be looked at is Drag Queens.

Footage of the metro police going into the school and taking the shooter out. Very tough to watch but also extremely impressive how surgical the police are. Almost as if they've been training for this the past 10+ years.

They actually blur out the graphic parts. By far the saddest part was seeing the location of the police operation. It's a school with children's drawings all over the walls. Absolutely gutting.

A lot more swift and professional than the Uvalde response. I guess Nashville being a bigger city is probably better equipped.

Tough to watch that.
Interesting that body cam footage was immediately available. I wonder why it isnt always like that?

I"m sure they release the "good" stuff right away. and not the ones where they are beating to death unarmed minorities.
