I'm sure I'll regret posting this because it'll fall on deaf ears, but here goes (again)

I'm an Intel guy. I understand trends, statistics and analysis. That's not really what I'm arguing about.

What I DO object to is turning a collection of individual crimes into a running narrative about the demographic itself. Sure, we should be asking why people commit these crimes. But "the person was trans" isn't an explanation for why they committed the dadgum crime any more than "the person was black" or the person was a "youth pastor" is.

Evil is evil. A child abuser is a child abuser. A murderer is a murderer. I don't care whether the person is trans, straight, Black, white, Republican, Democrat, a teacher, a pastor, an immigrant or anything else.

And notice how quickly this crap becomes selective. We have thread after thread about trans violence but nobody seems interested in starting a "White Violence" or "Black Violence" thread every time a white or black person commits something heinous. Why not?

We've had a former Austin ISD teacher sentenced to 16 years for possessing hundreds of thousands of child sexual-abuse files, a former youth pastor sentenced to 20 years for trying to sexually exploit a 15-year-old and a pastor in NY sentenced to more than 17 years for sexually exploiting minors. Those POSs did horrific things too. Hold them accountable. Period! I don't need their occupation or religious affiliation to be part of the explanation for why they did it. Hydro said it in the cop thread who killed the military member. Why was their race part of the story? Does it matter the cop was Hispanic and the victim was black?

Talk about the crime. Talk about the person. Talk about the why. Hold people accountable. But making the demographic identity of the offender the focus every single time is more about winning dumb@ss arguiments IMO.

EVIL IS EVIL.

Yup. Called it. My post wasn't even cold before we went right back to "LOOK, ALL TRANS PEOPLE ARE VIOLENT."

First off, that mass-shooting graphic you're posting has already been fact-checked and the underlying numbers are wrong. The Gun Violence Archive found only 5 trans perpetrators among 5,729 mass shootings in its database through Aug 25. What's my response supposed to be? Now do youth pastors? Le sigh.

And dipsh!ts like Alaskan fall for it hook, line, & sinker.
What am I falling for? That transgender crime has any significant impact on society compared to any others? I hate to break it to you, but crime is crime. I'm sorry you only care about 1 infinitesimal segmant of it. Personally, I care about ALL of it, hence why you won't see me starting threads about the smallest portion of it or selective outrage over it. I'm not a pawn.

You mean the Gun Violence archive that includes gang violence, which has nothing to do with what we’re discussing here?! I’ve already posted a far more accurate study that shows Trannies are 12-16x more likely to commit mass violence per capita than normals.

Failed again, retard.

“There have only been 5 trans shooters, I fact checked this!”

no..

1. Robert K. Dorgan (also known as Roberta Esposito/Dorgano) – February 16, 2026, Pawtucket, Rhode Island (Dennis M. Lynch Arena hockey game). Trans woman; shot family members (killing ex-wife and adult son; others injured) in a targeted incident before dying by suicide. Police and court records referenced gender reassignment surgery and related family disputes. en.wikipedia.org


2. Jesse Van Rootselaar (also known as Jesse Strang) – February 10, 2026, Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. Trans woman (RCMP: born male, transitioned socially ~6 years prior). Killed mother and half-brother at home, then attacked a secondary school (multiple deaths including children, many injured) before suicide. en.wikipedia.org


3. Robin M. Westman (born Robert) – August 27, 2025, Annunciation Catholic Church/School, Minneapolis. Assigned male at birth; legally changed name in 2020 citing female identification. Opened fire during a school Mass (two children killed, many injured) before suicide. Some reporting notes later expressions of regret or disillusionment with transition; included in GVA’s confirmed/trans-or-nonbinary tally. factcheck.org


4. Audrey Hale (also known as Aiden Hale) – March 27, 2023, Covenant School, Nashville. Trans man (confirmed by Nashville police). Killed 6 (3 children, 3 adults) before being killed by police. Widely treated as a confirmed case across databases. factcheck.org


5. Anderson Lee Aldrich – November 19–20, 2022, Club Q, Colorado Springs. Identified as nonbinary (they/them) in court proceedings. Killed 5 and injured many at an LGBTQ nightclub; pleaded guilty. Some acquaintances questioned sincerity given prior anti-LGBT views; GVA includes it. factcheck.org


6. Alec McKinney – May 7, 2019, STEM School Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Trans boy (confirmed via statements to investigators about being born female and transitioning). One of two shooters; 1 killed, multiple injured. crimeresearch.org

Now that your last claim has been proven to be artificial news please try again.

I guess when you're argument fails, try name calling?

You're still arguing a point I wasn't making. But here we go for the 100th time.

Let's say your 12–16x figure is completely accurate for the very specific category you're measuring in 2024 (as single year). That still doesn't answer my point. You're taking a tiny subset of violent crime, finding a disproportionate rate for ONE demographic (trans) and then repeatedly making that demographic the subject of the discussion. That's literally what I've been frack'n talking about. 🤦‍♂️

And even your own source makes sure to include very important context in it...the 12–16x figure is from 3 of 25 FBI active-shooter incidents in 2024. When CPRC looks at the broader 2018–2024 period using the FBI data, its ratio drops to 2.5–3.4x depending on which population estimate it uses.

You're still missing MY actual point. A trans person commits a horrific crime? Condemn them. A teacher does it? Condemn them. A pastor does it? Condemn them. A Republican, Democrat, Black person, white person, immigrant, straight person, whatever? Same answer.

Evil is evil.

...but you keep proving my point every time I make it and your immediate response is another chart about trans people.

I’ll tell you what he wouldn’t do. .. simp for Tran freaks and illegal criminals
So let me see if I have this right. ...saying trans people who commit crimes should be punished while applying exactly the same standard of accountability to non-trans people AND also pointing out the absurdity of obsessing over one of the smallest demographic sources of crime, is "simping"?

Um....No, you didn't "fact check" my post. You changed the parameters.

The 5 I cited was the Gun Violence Archive's count as of August 2025...five transgender/nonbinary perpetrators among 5,729 U.S. mass shootings since 2013.

Your list adds two shootings from 2026, neither of which could possibly have been included in an August 2025 count. And one of them was in Canada, while the GVA figure I cited was for US incidents.

So congratulations, you found additional cases that happened after the data cutoff and one outside the dataset.

KKind of you to keep proving my point...you immediately turned the conversation into another exercise in finding every possible trans-related violent incident rather than addressing what I actually wrote which was evil is evil. You only care about evil if it fits your narrative. I care about ALL evil and that somehow makes me a LiBtARd.

LOL... where did I say the right created this? Just like Ped, you're arguing with something I never said.

My point was pretty dadgum simple...you guys keep making the demographic the story. A trans person commits a horrific crime and immediately it's "TRANS VIOLENCE" and another graphic about trans people. I literally said in my post we should focus on the individual crime and holding the person accountable.

And your response to that is to tell me about an "angry mob of trans people" and blame Democrats. Which, ironically...or not ironically, is exactly the behavior I'm talking about. I'm not blaming the right for the existence of these crimes. I'm saying stop turning every crime committed by a trans person into a referendum on trans people. Evil is evil. That's it.

I'm for accountability and that makes me a libtard. LOVE IT! There's is absolutely no way to communicate with you people. The MAGA IV drip is on full drain. No objectivity, no rational discusion. It's team jersey full fold. This country is doomed the middle ground is gone. Each term will be nothing more than the vengful flipping of the other party.

...I digress. Y'all have fun.

That was my point. The left made it the story.....

At least you didn't give us the lame old "anecdotal" excuse.

I want to see you defend the dreaded rightwing mass shooter like you are defending this.

Why is this so hard for you to grasp...show me where I defended a single trans offender. You can't, because I haven't. In fact, I've said the exact opposite repeatedly...if somebody commits a horrific crime, punish them and hold them accountable. I don't care if they're trans, straight, black, white, Republican, Democrat, teacher, pastor or anything else.

My argument has been you guys have become hyperfixated on making the demographic the story....a trans person commits a horrific crime, immediately it's "TRANS VIOLENCE,"...no other crime seems to matter. Despite the fact I've shown data that trans are a tiny demographic and that, regardless of whatever particular per-capita rate you're arguing about, they account for a tiny fraction of overall violent crime.

That doesn't make the individual crimes any less horrific. It means I don't fracking understand why this is the demographic you've decided to make a your recurring political hill to die on. Oh, I know why...because the GOP spent over half its campaign budget on telling MAGAs it's the #1 issue in America. It's brilliant actually. They convinced half the population that 1% of the population is causing the majority of the issues.

I'm over here begging for a GOP candidate to address real issues, but instead I'm dealing grifters who cater to their pawns...hook, line, and sinker.

That's what you are doing. You are claiming they shouldn't be grouped together into a demographic..... and now you are playing the "anecdotal" card (tiny fraction).

Do you see the other groups in Scrubby's post #161? Should they not be grouped together either? If not, how will we learn what needs improvement?

My point is that the Trans issue is far bigger on the left then on the right. Period. The left are ones clamoring for biological males to compete with biological females in female competition. The left are the ones looking to make "gender affirming care" available to children and teens. The left are the ones teaching 72 genders and having drag queens in elementary school.

The right is REACTING to it. And for some reason, you think it's a problem.

What I'm specifically commenting on.

You should read this. An attack on John Cleese marks the debasement of language

It disccuses the point I've been trying to explain. Again, I'm not saying don't look at statistics or don't ask why something is happening. I'm talking about what happens after the individual crime...how the person's identity gets attached to the crime, repeated over and over, and eventually the demographic itself becomes the story.

Now, you may disagree with Doyle's politics...not my point. But the section about how language and framing can take individual behavior and turn it into a broader narrative about an entire group is exactly what I'm talking about. The crime is real. The accountability should be real. But the demographic doesn't need to become the villain. Unless, of course, you think teachers shold be feared. It's 100% fact MORE teachers have sexually abused more children than trans people..

You're right. It's a YUGE problem. It's happening everywhere! Despite the fact that in my 52 years I've never once seen a drag queen in person, I've never had any of my children read a story by a trans person, and somehow I'm supposed to believe kids are getting their genitals chopped off every day. I'm 100% certain you've never personally experienced most of this either, but we must save all the children, right?!

Meanwhile, there are kids being abused by their straight parents, kids growing up in homes with alcoholism and domestic/sexual violence, kids going hungry because their families can't afford food, kids being neglected, kids cycling through foster care, kids dealing with homelessness, kids whose parents are addicted to drugs, kids being bullied at school, kids dropping out, kids who can't read at grade level, kids growing up in poverty...heck, my son's friend just blew his brains out last Friday. He was 13. His parents and siblings were straight white folk.

But somehow THIS is the hill we're supposed to die on. smh

Despite the fact that in my 52 years I've never once seen a drag queen in person, I've never had any of my children read a story by a trans person, and somehow I'm supposed to believe kids are getting their genitals chopped off every day. I'm 100% certain you've never personally experienced most of this either, but we must save all the children, right?!

Meanwhile, there are kids being abused by their straight parents, kids growing up in homes with alcoholism and domestic/sexual violence, kids going hungry because their families can't afford food, kids being neglected, kids cycling through foster care, kids dealing with homelessness, kids whose parents are addicted to drugs, kids being bullied at school, kids dropping out, kids who can't read at grade level, kids growing up in poverty...heck, my son's friend just blew his brains out last Friday. He was 13. His parents and siblings were straight white folk.

But somehow THIS is the hill we're supposed to die on. smh
