The shooter was trans. Heads up to the trans homies to be cautious and vigilant in the coming days, as right-wing media will almost certainly lean into to this and it could cause backlash against the trans community.

You litteraly did the meme
They already are. You've already got genocide-cheerleading streamer Asmongold trying to suggest that their trans identity is the reason for the shooting, adding "Hating Jews doesn't make you a neo-Nazi".
This cunt was a literal Nazi, and Asmongold's main issue is that they're trans. Asmongold doesn't want trans people in his Nazi club.
And trans people can count on absolutely no help from democrats.
When will these shootings end? When will we finally say "enough is enough"?
When America gets an actual safety net.
Things might change when the Billionaire's kids start dying, MAYBE. But doubt anything changes in the next 3 years.
When and if that happens, the billionaire's kids will all just be home schooled by private tutors and protected by constant armed surveillance. The poors will, as always, be left to their own devices.
People have been asking that question since Columbine.
Not any time soon is the answer.
The minimum first step is keeping NRA money out of legislator's hands.
Depends on the action that your advocating for in order to stop it.
Shit changed after the North Hollywood Shootout. The people in power need to feel that fear before anything will change.
For sure. Helped start the crazy militarization of US police. Now it seems ever cop car has an AR in it and departments spend a shitload of money on crazy military shit.
You can thank the North Hollywood bank robbers for that. They had 100% illegal modified weapons that no ban would've stopped (converted machineguns are already illegal) and LAPD famously "had to commandeer" additional firepower from area firearms retailers in that incident. So after that, pretty much every police cruiser was equipped with patrol carbine, shotgun, or both.
The fediverse unfortunately endorsed a few of them. So it is subconsciously more "enabled" than we would like when someone is to ask this.
I really don't want Minneapolis to be the epicenter of another culture war. We still haven't recovered from the last one.
God’s will, I guess
Man, I hope God has some really awesome plans for those kids parents. Otherwise he's just some sort of asshole.
‘Murica #1, in shooting kids
Don't worry we're working on becoming #1 for bad education and #1 for lack of civil rights.
We'll get there, don't you worry.
Thoughts and prayers
That's a religious school, they have enough prayers.
Thots and beers.
You can never have too many prayers.
One is too many and 1000 is not enough.
Pray into one hand and shit into the other. Let's see which fills faster.
Well shit.
The survivors are all future religious zealots that will be despised by those currently celebrating their survival.
Thoughts and prayers!
Someone doesn’t know people who went to catholic school.
One of my wife's friends (not mine, I don't really like them, especially the wife because she's the stereotype of a Catholic wife and mother like Jesus ...to a 't'...and I get the impression that behind closed doors, the husband takes the Irish-Catholic Husband role very seriously) sends their kids to Catholic school.
Their oldest, though, is awesome. Wicked smart kid, awesome imagination. I think he may be a bit on the spectrum. The type of kid that, at a party, will have more fun talking to the parents than playing with the kids.
Anyway I feel bad for this kid because despite being super smart and having an awesome imagination, these great conversations get punctuated by Catholic fables and he treats that as equal fact.
I really want to be a part of this kids eventual atheist-awakening. It's bound to happen, he's far too logical and skeptical. But I really worry about how this kid will fare if it doesn't, and what it will mean for his family ties when it does.
I went to Catholic school and recently saw like eight former classmates at a friend’s wedding. The bride is Catholic, but none of the rest of us are. I was an out atheist in school, but the rest of them were ostensibly religious then (~15 years ago). Half of us are now queer and fucking nobody supports jd Vance. Even the catholic one isn’t a religious fanatic. She keeps her faith mostly private and married a divorced father.
This kid will probably also become less religious over time (or suddenly). I think Catholicism is a little easier to break free from than Lutheranism or Episcopalianism, because of transubstantiation. Once he realizes that people expect him to literally think the host is Jesus’ actual, real, material flesh, it’s kind of hard to believe it.
I stopped believing in god at four years old because I realized everyone else in my Sunday school class believed the story about Jonah and the whale. Catholics often give the Old Testament a little wiggle room, but transubstantiation is absolutely core to Catholicism.
Wonder what they'll think about the dead kids.
Nah who am I kidding. They don't think.
