I've been following this on another forum. What's sad is that one of the news outlets apologized for using the "wrong" pronouns describing this person. I'm sure the parents were upset by that apology. Also, saw some tweets saying misgendering the murderer was just as bad as the acts committed. I would say I was surprised but I'm not really.

Because, invariably after one of these high-profile mass shootings, the chief of police always seems to mention that “Two of the guns were obtained legally, locally here,” or words to that effect.
"Well, ****, if a crazy mass-murderer can legally obtain scary assault rifles, then background checks and tax stamps will never be good enough to protect us. We need to eliminate all guns entirely!"
And... the thing is that their reasoning is actually not wrong.
Their overall worldview is flawed as hell, but I suspect that some libs are starting to recognize that merely passing laws which make something illegal does not have much of a real-world effect, other than to fill the jails with low-level criminals so that they can then complain about the disproportionately high incarceration rate in the US.

No amount of hotness is worth that level of anger and emotional dysfunction.
(EDIT: I note and admire the fact that good trigger discipline is being demonstrated by this member of the trans-vengeance community)
This was the first time I'd come across the term "christcuck." I genuinely did not realize that the trans community were that outraged about christians, specifically. More outraged, I mean, than about everyone else who chooses not to play along with their make-believe.
I feel like they and I are probably on about the same level with regard to our views on theocracy as a concept, but I find it hard to really be properly outraged about individual people or groups of people these days. It's emotionally exhausting and usually unproductive.
