How About We Look at Some Actual Facts

The mass murderer in Philadelphia was a seriously disturbed, Trump supporting, assault rifle toting, Biden hating, “christian,” gun fetishist. No surprises here.
The gunman accused of killing five people during a harrowing rampage in Southwest Philadelphia on Monday night told police that the shooting spree was an attempt to help authorities address the city’s gun violence crisis, and that God would be sending more people to help, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

Sources also said some of Carriker’s roommates told detectives they’d been trying to avoid him inside the house because of his perceived volatility — which included frequently shouting, invoking religion, and routinely wearing his bulletproof vest and holding firearms
. (source

Apparently the usual deranged, far right lunatics feel they’ve a colossal win on their hands. Why? Because the killer was an occasional cross-dresser. Marge Trailer Trash Greene referred to him as “another trans shooter.” Why? Because the bullshit spewing House rep is all about framing reality to fit her incessant need for attention.

Since the start of 2018, five and a half years ago, there have been a staggering 3,057 mass shootings in the US, defined as shootings with four or more victims. Of these, three are known to have been by trans people. (source)
Let’s say Moon-bat Marge is correct in her statement that Carriker is just “another trans shooter.” I only mention it BUT three is 0.0981354% of 3,057. So then, less than a tenth of a percent of these mass killers are trans. How many of them claim to be christian? How many are male? How many are white? How many Republicans?

Another thing, Killer Carriker was a cross-dresser NOT trans. The difference?

Cross-dresser

     noun
a person who sometimes wears clothes usually worn by a different gender; usually a man who sometimes wears the clothes, make-up, jewelry, etc. usually worn by women:

Transgender
     adjective
used to describe someone whose gender does not match the body they were born with:

I’ve dated a couple of cross-dressers. They weren’t looking to change genders, they just liked to, on occasion dress up pretty. Hey, so do I—more power to ‘em. For that matter, better them in a dress and makeup than me—too much hassle and fuss for my tastes.

Also, to be clear, being a cross-dresser is NOT the same as being a drag queen.

Drag Queen
     noun
a performer (typically a man) who adopts a flamboyant or parodic feminine persona, with glamorous or exaggerated costumes and makeup.

I just love drag queens! It's an art.

Check out the five profiles of mass shooters here. Also:

Of the 172 individuals who engaged in public mass shootings covered in the database, 97.7% were male. Ages ranged from 11 to 70, with a mean age of 34.1. Those shooting were 52.3% White, 20.9% Black, 8.1% Latino, 6.4% Asian, 4.2% Middle Eastern, and 1.8% Native American.

Most individuals who perpetrated mass shootings had a prior criminal record (64.5%) and a history of violence (62.8%), including domestic violence (27.9%). (source)

I wonder, once again, how many were “christian.”
