What Really Matters About the Nashville Shooter

thegavoice.com:

Like many of you, I’m struggling to grasp the realities of the Nashville school shooting on March 27. If you were watching cable news on Monday and were in shock when they announced yet another school shooting, you quickly learned that this time was in Nashville at a private Christian school called The Covenant School.

We all held our breath waiting to hear what we expected to be horrible news. Then it came, the sickening news that there were three children killed along with three adult staff members.

School shootings are becoming so commonplace that many people don’t feel much when they happen. But we shouldn’t be immune. The loss of life, especially children, feels overwhelming, and while we shout about the issue and wish for change, it seems no one is listening.

As the day went on, we all wanted to know what kind of person would shoot up a grammar school. Soon it went viral on the internet that it was a trans woman, and as you might expect, online trolls blamed trans people for every school shooting that ever happened.
