To sum it up, there was a mass shooting yesterday at a Catholic school in Minneapolis. Depending on the sources, the body count is currently either three or six, including the shooter who chose to die rather than let herself be arrested. Seventeen more were injured. The first thing people will notice about the shooter is that she is male-to-female transgender, and she mentions this in a manifesto she wrote that was intended to be seen after the shooting (but the place she published it to took it down, who would've thunk).
Initially I would've thought that three (or even six) people wouldn't have made as much of an impact as, say, the typical twenty something people you hear about, but we live in a weird timeline and people are reacting more to this than in other cases. It's safe to speculate there's also some bias at play. Now enter the pope. He got appointed this year and for once is literally as American as apple pie. I think of all these circumstances put together and I think "well shit".
Oh fucking no... Cue the assholes who use this as ammunition.
FUCK I'm scared now... D':
Thanks... :3
