Wonder how fast the story about the Philly mass shooting will get memory-holed because the suspect doesn't fit the Lying Snake Media's narrative...

A report from the Daily Mail says the alleged gunman who killed five in Philadelphia on the eve of Independence Day was a cross-dresser who supported Black Lives Matter (BLM).

Breitbart News pointed to initial reports that four people were killed in the attack and four more injured. A total of six of the wounded and injured had been shot, the other injuries occurred while trying to escape the scene. The Daily Mail noted that the death toll rose to five, with four men killed and a 15-year-old boy. They observed that alleged shooter, Kimbrady Carriker, was armed with a rifle and a handgun.

The Daily Mail explained that “Facebook posts from March 2022 show Carriker dressed as a woman, wearing a bra, hooped earrings and gold bracelets.”

He had also posted articles to Facebook that focused on an “evil spirit” and how to tell if such a spirit was following you. When on social media, Carricker “regularly posted about supporting Black Lives Matter.”

He is under arrest and “facing multiple murder charges.”
 
The whole 'evil spirit' thing tells me he was probably mentally ill.
I think a lot of murderers are likely mentally ill. Or at least have some kinda personality disorder, even if undiagnosed. Who's capable of murder? Psychopaths, narcissists, sociopaths, etc.
 
Defending a loved one too?
I suppose, defending against an attack whether it’s of self or a close one is one thing, but most ppl have the sense not to take the law into their own hands. As long as it’s not vengeance and purely self-defence.

You can also forgive while still seeking justice.
 
This thread is a perfect example of how soon the subject of the shooter's character will be forgotten.
Exactly; I think you spoke once years ago, Doc, about how the Narrative overwrites the news. Well, wouldn't you know who won the pony on this one....
 
I am not even surprised that they would try to spin this story in such a manner. Especially with the current trend where they have really amped up their efforts of dehumanizing anyone and anything they can connect to people who are trans. Regardless of whether the link exists only in their imaginations. That they are wrong with their caricature of the perpetuator, while troubling, is not the main problem. The discourses which are promoted by their doing so is what is troubling. Although these dehumanizing narratives are older than the US itself and as discouraging as it is, don't seem to be going away anytime soon.
