LIST OF PERPETRATORS

The posts mention a “Nashville shooter,” which appears to reference the recent school shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 27, where the suspect, identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale by police, reportedly identified as transgender (here).

The “Colorado Springs shooter” refers to Anderson Lee Aldrich, who is accused of a killing five people at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in November 2022, and whose lawyers have asserted identifies as non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns (here). (Skepticism over Aldrich’s assertion has since arisen, with extremism experts and people who knew the shooter weighing in, more on that here ).

The “Denver shooter” in the posts refers to a shooting at a charter school in Denver, Colorado, in May 2019. Alec McKinney, a transgender teenager, was sentenced to life in prison following the shooting, Reuters reported at the time (here).

The “Aberdeen shooter” appears to reference Snochia Moseley, the suspect of a shooting at a Rite Aid Corp facility in Aberdeen, Maryland (here). Some news reports said Moseley identified as transgender (bit.ly/3ZpwMMQ), (bit.ly/3LX7DWF).

NOT THE MAJORITY

Calculating exact percentages when it comes to mass shooting statistics in the U.S. varies by way of counting, as organizations define mass shootings in different ways.

A spokesperson for The Violence Project, which records data on mass shootings in the U.S. since 1966 with “four or more” people killed in public (here), told Reuters via email that “Nashville is the first case of a trans” perpetrator in their database and per their methodology. They sent Reuters a database of shootings with 190 entries.

“Transgender” is the new, trendy place for people with mental issues to identify.

The majority of mass shooters are young black gang bangers.

The media will now compare the remarkable string of tranny public anonymous mass shootings to turf wars among inner city black drug gangs, so as to bury the fact that of Public Mass Shootings, over 4% have been committed by Trannies.

See here from Grok, in the middle of my conversation with it in which I’m attempting to have Grok remove its political bias:

“To clarify, my original statement noted that the four mass shootings linked to transgender or non-binary individuals represent less than 0.1% of over 4,100 mass shootings since 2018, per the Gun Violence Archive (GVA). You’re referencing the 4% figure from the search context, which likely relates to public mass shootings (random, non-gang, non-domestic) as a subset of all mass shootings. Let’s break this down directly.
The GVA defines a mass shooting as an incident with four or more people shot (injured or killed), excluding the shooter, totaling over 4,100 incidents from 2018 to 2025. The 4% figure from a 2019 Rockefeller Institute study (web:15) suggests that public mass shootings (not tied to gang activity, domestic violence, or other crimes) make up about 4% of this total, roughly 164 incidents since 2018 (4% of 4,100).
The four incidents involving transgender or non-binary individuals (Aberdeen 2018, Denver 2019, Nashville 2023, Minneapolis 2025) are a subset of all mass shootings, not just the 4% public mass shootings. However, if we compare these four incidents to the estimated 164 public mass shootings, the proportion is approximately 4/164 = 2.44%, not 0.1%. My original 0.1% (4/4,100) was based on all mass shootings, not the narrower public mass shooting category.
To address your claim of a “factor of 25”:
• 2.44% (4/164, public mass shootings) ÷ 0.1% (4/4,100, all mass shootings) = 24.4, meaning the proportion is indeed about 24-25 times higher when comparing to public mass shootings only.
So, yes, you’re correct that using the 4% public mass shooting subset as the denominator makes the proportion (2.44%) significantly higher than 0.1%, by a factor of roughly 25. The 0.1% figure is accurate for all mass shootings but understates the proportion relative to public mass shootings specifically. Thanks for pointing out the need for this clarification.”

Fact check from a legacy media source = Attempt to move the narrative away from a conservative theme, in this case the high percentage of mass murderers being gender confused individuals.

cis and trans used to refer to how a benzine ring was bent.
Cis = normal; trans not.
(If I remember correctly)

Same kind of thing.

Good old Rooters. Always quick with the Strawman Argument.

We ARE NOT asserting that Trannies make up the MAJORITY of mass shooters.

We ARE asserting that Trannies are GROSSLY OVERREPRESENTED versus their population.

Stuff it, Rooters, you f****g liars.

Only because they also count as ‘mass shootings’ all of the ghetto nonsense, cartel mayhem, or family traumas that are a weekly occurrence in big cities, and never even make the national news.

The above sorts of shootings don’t target public places with victims who have no connection with the shooter. This space is dominated by the trans- or Allah-addled mentally ill.

That’s a lot of mass shooting by a group that represents .7% of the population.

"What is a “cis man”?"

To: BenLurkin
"A normal person who identifies as the sex they were born."

I add the cis are only white men as black-on-black killings don't count.

AI Overview
A cis man is a man whose gender identity aligns with the sex assigned to him at birth. The term “cisgender” (or “cis”) is a prefix meaning “on the same side,” contrasting with “transgender” (trans), which describes someone whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. Most people are cisgender, and for cis men, being a man is their authentic identity and also the gender they were assumed to be as a baby.
Key Points
Gender Identity vs. Assigned Sex:
A cis man’s internal sense of self (gender identity) as a man matches the sex assigned at birth.
Origin of the Term:
The prefix “cis” comes from the Latin word for “same,” mirroring the term “trans” (meaning “across”) used in chemistry and biology.
Purpose of the Term:
“Cisgender” provides a neutral and specific term to describe people whose gender aligns with their assigned sex at birth, avoiding the implication that trans people are “abnormal” or “irregular”.
Commonality:
The vast majority of people are cisgender, and many cisgender people may not think of themselves this way because their gender identity is so commonly understood and accepted.

how to lie with statistics:

contrast the number of mass murderers who are members of a very small group

to the number of mass murderers who are members of a very large group

WITHOUT adjusting for the size of the group

The lying media shows again that it is the lying media.

It is doubtful that given the political control that the bizarre Democrats have over urban areas and the constitutional restraints that exist on well meaning law enforcement, that there will be any definitive action taken to protect rational, decent people from violent transgenders and other crazies. Time has come for the decent to protect themselves. Would it be illegal to compile a list of known transgenders and then crossmatch with gun sales or licenses made by that group? Buying a gun requires that the purchaser be identified. Is that data available to the public? Would like to know who are the armed transgenders in my locale.

... No one is arguing that the majority of mass shooters are the mentally disordered with gender dysphoria, as the headline implies. ...
***********
Also, the trans movement weaponizes them by telling them that they are victims.
