Biden: Nashville school shooting ‘a family’s worst nightmare’
The Hill ^ | 03/27/2023 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 03/27/2023 12:48:34 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

President Biden on Monday called the latest school shooting, which left at least three children dead in Nashville, “sick” and lamented that such a tragedy was “a family’s worst nightmare.”

“We have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart. It’s ripping at the very soul of the nation. We have to do more to protect our schools so they aren’t turned into prisons,” Biden said in remarks at the start of a women’s business summit.

At least three children and three staff members were killed after a shooting at a private school in Nashville that serves preschool through sixth grade, authorities said. A police spokesperson identified the shooter as a 28-year-old female assailant carrying two assault-style rifles and a handgun.

Biden was briefed on the shooting, and the White House has been in touch with the Department of Justice and local officials.

Understood… but it’s still a school, and those kids are forced to be there by “Der staat” decree.

That makes it the school’s responsibility to protect them while they are there.

...and it’s a trans nut case-—killing Christians. Guess this will disappear quickly.

God isn’t coming back to schools anytime soon, probably not in our lifetime.

But a 230 grain .45 ACP is quick, easy, and a sure show shopper for a would be psychotic killer.

Prevention or Mitigation of slaughter CAN be a reality very quickly.

Oh look - he can make instant speeches when it’s politically expedient for him but he couldn’t even be bothered to talk about East Palestine or Philadelphia even this morning.

That is the point of the gun free zones at schools — to get your kids killed.

Politicos don’t send their kids to such.

As to the murderer, identifies as a female? Really?

No amount of gun control, no amount of mental health care is ever going to fix our problems in this country. We are too far gone. We’ve got generations of disgruntled nut jobs roaming loose with “rights.” We have open schools, open borders, and open courts with revolving doors.

Best to just learn how to rapidly defend and protect yourself in these settings. Best to pull your kids out of unprotected schools. Best to turn back to God and be prepared at any time to be in the wrong place at the right time.

The shooting most certainly is a family's worst nightmare.

An even worse nightmare is blaming the gun instead of the shooter.

Joe Biden thinks it is easier to eat ice cream and talk about taking guns away from law abiding citizens instead of taking them away from criminals, or looking at associated mental health issues and proposing remedies to identify and treat people resorting to gun violence.

According to police, the dead suspect was a former student at the school.

Unconfirmed* reports identify the Nashville shooter as “Audrey Hale”, a biological female that identifies as “He/Him” on their LinkedIn

Authorities believe the transgender shooter previously attended the Christian school

According to some people, a “he/him” notation was from this Linkedin account, but I don’t see it here, either.

**

But the thing is ...these people are likely not psychotic. Or mentally ill.

They ARE disgruntled. Disgruntled is worse — it’s an anger that cannot be fixed or remediated. It’s a lifetime of a sense of victimhood rubbed into a spoiled brat who has no feelings or moral underpinnings. It’s someone who feels the world has been “unfair” to them, so they’re going to get retribution. It’s more of a world outlook than a psychiatric disorder — although, perhaps we need to create a screening of some kind that could identify these disgruntled maniacs before they strike.

I see psychiatric patients and many are decent average people with an organic illness. I hate to see them maligned. My patients are AFRAID of these people and it triggers their anxiety something terrible.

I was wondering why they did not name the person. I thought it was because the shooter was black. Now we know it was because the person is trans.

Politicians illegally outlawed the Confederate Flag based on the actions of one shooter.

We're overdue to ban Trans flags based on the actions of this mentally ill shooter.
