• I can't believe I actually have to applaud a school shooting...

    From Michael Falkner@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 28 19:45:52 2023
    Before I begin, however, two IMPORTANT disclaimers:

    1) This post will assume that the reports are correct and that the shooter is actually a transgender person. It is not out of the question completely that this would be an false-flag effort to force hand and start the process of "finishing the job" on a
    rapidly increasing effort to exterminate all transgenders in the United States.

    2) There have been varying reports as to which gender the shooter identifies as. So pronouns will be avoided whenever possible.

    That said, what I am about to do makes me morally and ethically sick.

    However, it is the only reasoned response to a triple madness in this country, resultant in yesterday's school shooting of six people in a Christian/Presbyterian school in Nashville, TN.

    1) Our national fetish with guns and the concept of using them to kill people.

    2) Our misguided belief that God will serve our political purposes and that the nation is a Christian nation.

    3) The rapidly mounting effort to kill every transgender person in the United States of America.

    After every one of these school shootings, I come to the same conclusion: That the Second Amendment, as a concept of the courts recognizing the individual citizen with the right to bear arms (and, hence, each individual citizen being a member of a "well-
    regulated militia") needs to be repealed. Not only does nothing I say here change that, but this particular situation also gives you great evidence as to one very specific reason WHY the Second needs to be repealed, especially as it's been misapplied by
    the American court system.

    Then, we have a nation, especially on the White Christian Right, who believes they can "pray the [other] away". Not only does God not work that way, but the fact is also that this nation would not be able to be governed under the Constitution (pre- or
    post-Civil War) if this country were the Christian Nation these White Nationalist Pigs like that hag Marjorie Taylor-Greene think it is. The Constitution would, then, be a material blasphemy to be voided and ignored, due to the fact it recognizes the
    existence of other gods and religions, which is a blasphemy in the Christian faith.

    But the third part of this is the most significant: For the last three months, a rapidly mounting effort at the state legislature level has been undertaken in the Christian Taliban states to reach an eventual end goal of the murder of every transgender
    person in the United States of America.

    (And a hint to the Quislings on the Left: That just gets the crowbar into the door. The L's, G's, B's, immigrants, homeless, poor Blacks, etc. will face the same fate once it becomes socially acceptable for the elimination of demographics in the name
    of proposed "fairness" or "safety".)

    (Far more likely, it sounds to me like a "Good" "Christian" White Man went to a school function featuring girls and women, tried his luck, and got a surprise!!!)

    So, let's break this down: Nice and slow, for the Republicans in the crowd:

    1) Under the reported situation, Audrey Hale (and, yes, I AM mentioning the name of the shooter -- by the time you finish reading this, that'll be the least of your problems with this opinion piece!) is transgender.

    2) Hale is a former student at the Christian/Presbyterian school which was shot up.

    3) This was in Tennessee, one of the foremost states in the national anti-transgender movement.

    Given those three facts, it should be almost a tautology to prove the following:

    1) Aubrey Hale was dead anyway, and Hale knew it. We are 12-24 months (and I think 24 is a massive generosity on my part, but I'll go there, simply because 24 will get us past a Presidential election that, today, I believe Trump or DeSantis DOES WIN)
    from transgenderism being a death-penalty offense in a number of the states in this nation, if not (by the 24) a Federal law!

    I would be stunned if it is not completely legal to kill a trans person in the state of Tennessee by December 31, 2023.

    I would even go so far as, in states like Iowa, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Florida, Texas and Tennessee, that laws will get passed which actually will allow members of the public to kill transgenders and get paid for doing so -- a bounty/reward program!!

    2) Hale's parents, by the shooter's manifesto, were Bible-Thumpers. This was a K-6 religious school. You don't think that, the moment Hale realized the mind was in the wrong body, that the parents openly threw this kid into the school to "Pray The Gay/
    Trans Away"? Hale makes clear the rejection of the parents -- which the only question then remaining is when did Hale get thrown out of the house?

    3) A month ago, Gov. Bill Lee of Tennessee banned minors from transitioning in the state of Tennessee. He also passed a law banning all public drag shows in the state, classifying them in the same vein as striptease events.

    Given the current nature of the anti-transgender movement in the United States of America, the fact that Hale was going to be killed by it's end result, and the fact that Tennessee is one of the first states to place such a bullseye or crosshairs in this
    situation, I must (to the great moral and ethical pain of the situation) actually stand and applaud the school shooting of March 27, 2023, as a function of the unholy disunion of the national attempt to eradicate transgenders and transgenderism, the
    rising Christian White Right Nationalist Movement (especially in the American South), and the country's obsession with not only guns, but the implicit (and against undesirables, EXPLICIT) threat they be used to kill people.

    TL;DR: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU EXPECT WOULD HAPPEN, WHITE RIGHT AMERICA????

    You make guns and shooting the central sole arbiter of what rights a person has or has not in this country, you are trying to kill every transgender person and infrastructure of the medical industry in the United States of America, and this person lives
    in one of the initial battlegrounds of the latter, and you expected this to end ANY DIFFERENTLY AT ALL???

    SERIOUSLY????

    You want the NRA and the right to kill people as you see fit by the arms you bear so badly? Then that right must be given to anyone who has not had that right removed by the law -- and then, as the same vein, you have to determine what rights, IF ANY,
    those who have had the right to have guns removed then have! (It's one of the reasons even some on the Right are getting the idea as to how fucked in the head all this is, because of the fact that people believe everyone should have guns, and the fear
    that they can be shot is basically the only reason you don't see more shootings...)

    I take it as a blessing from God (and the only reason I'm not on the Evening News AGAIN) that I am in that latter group. Else, I wouldn't be here. And so not would a number of other people -- the question not being if -- but when, who, and how many!

    But at least I have the temerity to be honest enough with myself to understand that fact and the understanding of what that means. And to anyone who believes otherwise, who the fuck do you think you are to get better than any number of my proposed "
    victims", famous or otherwise???

    You want transgenderism gone? You better explain to me a good reason why! "Fairness in women's sports" is a complete goddamned canard (adjective intended!). If you wanted fairness in women's sports, you'd repeal Title IX tomorrow, because many women's
    sports only exist to legally justify men's sports, and, hence, are so non-competitive, they become non-educational!

    And if you want to get into gender roles and the like, you best then answer me the question of where this stops before someone declares that men exist to impregnate women, consent be damned where necessary (especially as it relates to the Q-forwarded "
    Great Replacement Theory")!

    So, I'm sorry to the families of the six taken, but you are casualties of no less than a war against transgenders in the United States of America. And if we are going to see our citizens as a well-regulated militia, then -- given the circumstances
    surrounding trans people, especially in the state of Tennessee -- I must applaud the Second Amendment Solution Hale took.

    Now, if you will pardon me, I will go vomit now.

    I agree with you on #2, disagree with the rest, and acknowledge your misinterpretation of the preface clause of the 2nd Amendment.

    The preface clause speaks of a well-regulated militia, which the courts have grossly overstepped and misinterpreted as the individual citizen, lacking due process otherwise, being a member.

    Or do you believe I'm wrong with that?
