It's impossible to hate these people enough.
But had this shooter been a white supremacist who was also a Catholic and fired into a transgender transition center (or whatever), we know damn well this would be the lead.

That has ALWAYS been the point.

I'll give Robin credit here, though: posting the manifesto ONLINE kept the media from covering it up like they did the Nashville shooter.

========================

I've said for years that more often than not you can apply this test and you'll know the race of the shooter:

- high kill count - white guy
- low kill count, high injury count - not a white guy

RARELY is the shooter a woman, at least in the US.

So yesterday my Oregon bud texted me about this and I told him - before we knew anything else - that I suspected this shooter was going to be an exception to the rule, likely a white person. When he asked why, I said, "Go look at the racial demographics of Minneapolis and Catholicism and tell me who you think it was."

From the world of "oral sex" is "not having sexual relations," we now have the New York Times explaining to us how a socialist is not a socialist DESPITE the fact Mamdani himself has advocated ideas on the FAR LEFT spectrum of socialism.

You'll never hate the media's spin enough. They are the crooked referee in a pro wrassling match.

I reiterate: they learned NOTHING.


A community gathers for the first weekend of Masses after Minneapolis shooting as questions remain | CNN

Police identified the now-deceased shooter as a 23-year-old former Annunciation student whose mother once worked at the parish. Investigators are still searching for a motive.

CNN:
The shooter attended this Catholic school and his momma worked there.

Not even a name given despite the fact journalism STARTS with "who".

But no, what they WANT you to focus on is "this shooter attended this Catholic school and we don't know why they shot into the school."

Uh.....we don't know the whole story at this point, but saying we don't know the Cyrillic has been translated that the shooter chose a Catholic school intentionally is a bald-faced lie.

In other words:
"The shooter targeted a Catholic school (fact), but we don't know at this point precisely why (also fact)."

Rest assured, if Robin Westerman had been a white Catholic who shot into a clinic that performs transgender surgeries, they damn well would have gone with "Catholic targeted trans."

Was the motive to kill Catholics or that the shooter just wanted to kill as many as kids as possible so they chose a familiar (and possibly painful) place to carry out the act?

I'm not denying that Westman had hatred for religion, but the motive is not as clear as you imply.

That is not lying, it's just legalese. There is almost no difference between Socialists and Democratic Socialists. The only difference is the Socialist wants to seize power using any means possible (i.,e., revolution) while the Democratic Socialist wants to seize the power thru elections. All the bad stuff is the same.

I think he hated his momma and that lead him to take the action where he went to school and she worked.

IDK. I tend to come down to its being a place he knew like the back of his hand. I think he wanted access, but he knew to have the 2x4s, inscribed with taunts, to bar them in, in case he couldn't get in. Some serial killers specialize in areas they know well for that reason (Heuermann)...

I guess a big pet peeve of mine is when news programs continue to bombard us with guest "analysts" or commentators who are involved with a political party or particular industry telling us how they feel while ignoring what we - the American citizen thinks!

Just about every person they have on to speak on a particular topic is going to spin that topic.

How about interviewing the folks on the street?

I don't care if what that person's politics are - I just want to hear from another poor slob like me instead of some political hack!

Here’s a list of all the news networks who have NOT covered the Charlotte NC story:

- NYTimes
- CNN
- Washington Post
- MSNBC
- NPR
- USA Today
- Reuters
- Axios
- ABC News
- PBS

Every single one of them wrote stories on Daniel Penny...

…do you get it yet?

CNN posted this before you made your post:

Iryna Zarutska: Video shows fatal stabbing of Ukrainian refugee on Charlotte light rail – stirring debate on crime in major US cities | CNN


Brown has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for armed robbery, felony larceny and breaking and entering.

He spent more than eight years behind bars for robbery with a dangerous weapon, state records show.

Of course not willing to be content being merely stupid, the Democratic Mayor doubled down on "I'm An Idiot."
