When A Trans Person Murders Christian Schoolchildren
Ben Shapiro March 29, 20232

The legacy media have a preset narrative machine when it comes to mass shootings. That narrative machine takes into account the identities of the shooter and the victims, and then churns out an explanation for the shooting. White shooter, black victims: systemic racism. Black shooter, white victims: alienation caused by systemic racism. Muslim shooter, gay victims: Christian homophobia.

On Monday, a self-identified 28-year-old trans man shot up a Christian school in Nashville, killing three children and three adults. The shooter left a manifesto, which police said reeked of "resentment." And so this week, we are learning what pops up in the narrative machine when the inputs are "trans man" and "Christian schoolchildren."

And here's what pops up: America is systemically cruel to trans people, who apparently cannot be blamed for losing control and targeting small children at Christian schools. A hate crime by a trans-identifying person against a religious group is immediately transmuted into a generalized societal crime against the mass shooter herself. Thus, NBC contributor Benjamin Ryan tweeted, "NBC has ID'd the Nashville school shooter… Nashville is home to the Daily Wire, a hub of anti-trans activity by @MattWalshBlog, @BenShapiro and @MichaelJKnowles." Newsweek tweeted a story titled, "Tennessee Republicans’ ban on drag shows criticized after mass shooting." ABC News correspondent Terry Moran stated that the shooter "identified herself as a transgender person. The State of Tennessee earlier this month passed and the governor signed a bill that banned transgender medical care for minors…"

In the perverse world of Leftist victimology, this makes sense: If you are a member of a supposedly victimized group, you cannot be the victimizer; there must be another victimizer who has victimized you, turning you back into a victim.

But if we truly wish to prevent future acts of violence by unhinged lunatics, we ought to utilize a lens other than the lie of victimhood. Instead, we ought to consider the possibility that it is dangerous to promote the idea that mentally ill people ought to be celebrated as political ground breakers by the legacy media for their symptoms, and simultaneously told that their suicidal ideations are caused by the intolerance of a broader society. According to a recent 2022 study, “Transgender and gender-diverse youth emerge as the group at the highest risk of support for violent radicalization.” Teaching trans-identifying people that their suffering is caused by a cruelly religious and patriarchal world, explaining that these forces put their very lives in danger — that, indeed, they are victims of a potential “genocide” — creates an incredibly dangerous ideological predicate for violent action.

But the legacy media, by and large, support that narrative. To admit the obvious — that men cannot be women and vice versa; that believing you were born “in the wrong body” is a mental disorder, not a weapon to be used in tearing down an unjust society; that high rates of depression and suicidal ideation among those who identify as transgender is not caused predominantly by societal intolerance but by the disorder itself — undermines the new civil rights crusade the Left has built, directed against traditional roles and institutions.

And so the new narrative must be maintained. A woman who shot to death six people including three children in cold blood must be recast as a victim of society. We must respect “his” pronouns even as we report “his” murders. We must blame those who truly cause pain in the world: those who disagree with the thought leaders in our legacy media, who know better than all the common sense, biology and tradition in the world.

When white supremacist were killing black people left and righ, where was his outrage.

This is not a trans problem. America has a gun problem and people like Ben Shapiro won't want the govt to restrict gun access, but will rather blame trans people while ignoring the bigger problem.

Cry more.

LordReed:


LoLz! Kids lives matter but guns are more important! 2A for life!

LordReed:


Leave the myopic snowflakes. Every time there is a mass shooting in a school, they want to talk about anything but the proliferation of guns.

OLAADEGBU:


Guns don't murder people but criminals do.

LoLz. You just proved my point.

What point, how can a gun kill kids if no criminal is pulling the trigger?

The point that you'd talk about anything but the proliferation of guns.

Society is being pushed further from religion, decency, and humility by the Left. That's exactly where the blame belongs.

May God punish you unceasingly for this both in living and in death most especially as people never turned to Him but you just had to put it evilly. I pray every evil thing that can happen to a person pours on you and your house even 7 times worse.

triplechoice:


Do you think there are no alternatives available, apart from guns, for someone who wants to carry out an hate crime?

And if proliferation of guns are to be blamed, then why is the same kind of crime not being committed by others (everyone one of them)
having a gun and facing the same kind of pyschological pressure from that society?

LordReed:


This particular shooter went out and bought a number of guns with large capacity despite being treated for mental illness. Do you think people with such medical histories should have access to guns?

triplechoice:


Thanks for providing further information on the shooter's mental health. I didn't know that, and it's not even mentioned in the Op.

People like himself shouldn't have access to guns of any kind. They should, instead, be locked up somewhere or closely monitored all the time.
