So yesterday there was a school shooting in Highland Ranch, Colorado, not far from Columbine High School. The fact that there were two shooter should make this Big News, with every last detail about the shooters splashed all over the headlines, with political hay being made left and right. Were these guys white supremacists? Were they republicans? Alt right? Clearly this was due to their toxic masculinity and misogyny. The wage gap probably fits in there somewhere.
But a few things have come out that should make the discussion more interesting than usual:
On social media, Devon Erickson, a registered Democrat, expressed hatred for some Christians, and shared posts criticizing Donald Trump and praising Barack Obama…
The Denver Channel wrote that multiple sources say “the second suspect, who is a minor, is a transgender male who was in the midst of transitioning from female to male.”
Huh. This should prove an endless source of amusement. Unless, of course, it gets stuffed into the news media memory hole.
Equally likely: this gets used as a way to excuse the event. “Boo hoo they were bullied by the mean normies.”
