Well, that didn’t take long. The shooting happened about 8:30 this morning, about 2 miles from where I live. I’m often on that corner. Yes, the shooter was initially identified as Robin, which is a gender-neutral name. Once the police searched her house and interviewed her family, they learned she had previously identified as Robert. She left a multi-page note, which hasn’t been released in its entirety, so we don’t know if she was being bullied, discriminated against, or hadn’t been able to get to Starbuck’s this morning. She’s also white, so let’s add her to the list of white malcontents who think it will solve some problem if they shoot innocent bystanders. As usual, she committed suicide before the cops showed up, so we’ll likely never know. One of the dead was 8yo, the other 10. 14 kids and 2 adults sent to the hospital. Fortunately, some have already been released. One of the wounded said to his uncle that he had seen a piece of flesh fly past his head, and saw a friend get shot in the head. The uncle was dismayed that his nephew calmly described the event, without emotion, as if it were happening in a video game.
Our noble president has ordered flags at half-staff until the end of the month, and we’ve been hearing the usual comments about “thoughts and prayers” and “something needs to be done” all day. By Labor Day everything will return to normal, until the next time. At least Alex Jones hasn’t claimed it’s a false flag event …. yet.
