Mass shooting at south Minneapolis church

[putnam6]

Just saw a story where they interviewed a 7th grade classmate of this guy.

She said he would walk around throwing up his hand and saying "Praise Hitler"

She said she didn't understand because she was young.

I dont know and I am sorry, but 7th graders should know saying something like that is not right.

Warning signs seemed to be everywhere but nothing was done.

It doesn't take much to push somebody off the rails these days...

If you are 1% of any group, the other 99% aren't likely to know what that 1% goes through,  fewer people to talk to and work through thier issues.

Somebody mentioned what about gays and lesbians... gays and lesbians are a much larger percentage of the population, and have been assimilated and accepted to a significantly higher degree than somebody navigating a world as a 1% of a social demographic.

It's a numbers game; gays and lesbians have more allies and avenues for a real support system. 1% do not...

They seemed messed up in many ways. Were the signs ignored or was it a total lack of any help system available? 

Most ether don't want to get involved or the person gets mad at them for even asking if they need help.

Not really unexpected i suppose.

After all, nobody really tries to stop Kanye West or Nicholas Fuentes. 

And alarm bells are ringing.

Really.... Kanye did not see that coming? The shirt maker company did not question it at all?

"Coping must be learned early on. The participation trophies hurt this learning. When you fail at small things and learn to deal with it, you are learning how to deal with the big failures later.

Life is not all what you want it to be and all about you. Some don't learn this until it is beyond their ability to deal with it.



As to the trans and gay being a mental illness, as a group it is not. But there are individuals that take it too far and expect everyone to celebrate them. Most will tolerate them but that is not what they are seeking. This is where they start loosing it.

The same can be said for any group that can be singled out. There are ones that make a neusance of themselves then they don't understand why most people don't like them. 

If being trans or gay is all you are in life and you want everyone around you to celebrate how great that is, you are making your own problem. Be different but don't try to force its acceptance on everyone. You will get more friends and less enemies that way."

That sums up what I think too.

A lot of attention seeking.

As Nicholas Soames MP (supposedly) said:

"I have nothing against homosexuals, as long as they don't ram it down my throat".

Unfortunate turn of phrase, though.

Shopify Inc. has taken down a site promoted by rapper Kanye West, known as Ye, that was selling swastika shirts.
“All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify,” the company said in a statement.

Tells you in the article it was taken down.

But the fact that it was allowed to go up in the first place...

Kanye is very confused, to say the least, and the fact that he was even given a soapbox or allowed to spew his Nazi filth is rather concerning.

Same with Fuentes imho.

Any news about if this male kid was using girls bathrooms in schools etc. ?? 

Was he simulating "periods" and buying Tim Walz tampons from machines in boy's bathrooms?

What a coincidence.  We were just discussing folk with mental health issues....

[ANNEE]

I'd be interested to know whether those that believe transgenders have a mental illness also think gay folk  do, too?

Used to be, right?

Now "Born that Way" is pretty much accepted.

Science does not have the answers.  But science does not know what causes Left-handedness either.

True.  They used to try to cure that.

Nuns and mad teachers predominantly. 

And right up until the middle of the 1980s, regarding some educational establishments.
