This is always the way it goes, and it's repugnant – once you learn that the perpetrator belongs to a marginalized group, you know that hateful individuals will use it as proof to spread their rhetoric and fan the flames.

It takes away from actual discussion of how we ensure this doesn't happen again, how we best support communities in these times, and how we as a whole can come together to begin healing.

See this is strange to me. Isn't it obvious that their hateful rhetoric is what caused this event? Yet they say that's more reason to be more hateful towards trans people??? Wtf lol.

You sow hate, you reap hate.

Agreed, but unfortunately people who do that are well known for flooding the zone, then this gets more people on their side, even if they didn't have any good points to make. Just a few feels and some less than cricital thinking will win people over.

Been awhile since I was in school I do hope they're stil teaching kids how to think on their own these days. Though unsure if I picked that up on my own and has my own opinions to not exclude random people who cause no harm or was actually taught it. Heck if anything it'd have been sesame street abd Mr Rogers teaching me that, those radicals teaching to not be bigoted.

Mean I also definitely support mental health for all, I know I've had to visit a few times myself and think everyone should have the opportunity if needed.

Used to live near there for awhile, couple hours away unsure if we ever went there, think my town was smaller, wikipedia tells me it is currently a similar size so guess not by much if at all (like a few hundred people different sort of thing)

Every school shooting has been but little has been done in stoping it one way or another

That's quite special to think about genitalia when you look at a mass shooting...

I spoke to someone today that had a lot to say about the shooter's gender. When I asked if they even knew if the shooter was alive or captured they couldn't answer me.

We're in the same province where this happened. These people has lost even the most basic self preservation instincts in favor whatever narrative people tell them to obsess about

Maybe don't use substack to promote your anti-hate message. They're literally profiting off Nazis.

The Pleb and Radio-Canada recklessly endangering an innocent trans woman and taking hours remove the posts 🙄

Tara Armstrong spreading bullshit and scapegoating once again.
