Also worthy of probing is the culture that gives rise to these shootings...
Crooks was a loner.
He was quiet and had few friends;
he was known to just stare at his classmates when they sought to engage him.
A student who went to the same high school as Crooks, Kendall Spragg, noted that he would sometimes eat lunch by himself. “He really didn’t fit in with everybody else,” he said.
These attributes are commonplace among mass shooters.
In 2023, Audrey Hale, a girl who mistakenly thought she was a boy, killed six people at Covenant School. Averianna Patton, who knew her, said she was “very quiet, very shy.”..
In 2022, Salvador Ramos... (many more listed!)
Being a loner does not cause someone to be a mass shooter, but when it is coupled with other factors, it manifests itself as a leading red flag indicator. Loners crave the same type of bonds that all of us do.
When they are unable to achieve them, it creates psychological havoc.
Unfortunately, we are mass producing the kind of social soil that makes it harder to bond with others...
While there’s another story here concerning Islamic terrorism and her remarks, it’s what she says after on the topic of illegal immigration that should have raised eyebrows in 2016 but makes perfect sense now in 2024 if we consider her abysmal failure to address the southern border.
The beating and murder were because Shepard was gay.
The perps were quickly found, tried for murder, convicted, and sentenced to prison...
It was a good news story about bad news and was widely reported.
But it wasn’t true.
It has since been shown that Shepard and one of the perps were in the drug business together.
Shepard was due to receive a $10,000 shipment of meth.
The perp himself was gay and had been in a gay relationship with Shepard.
So, it wasn’t a hate crime by a straight Wyoming redneck against an innocent 21-year-old gay guy.
It was a drug deal gone bad between two gay lovers. But never mind that.
Gay advocates seized on Shepard’s death as evidence of hatred in the heartland toward gays.
His death spurred new federal hate crime laws, where criminally attacking someone becomes even more criminal if the someone is gay... The flip side of that, of course, is that criminally attacking someone is now a little less criminal if the person is not gay...
The mainstream media, the authors say, is complicit because it fails to vet the activists and financiers behind the pro-Hamas ecosystem, preferring instead to portray the protests as if they are spontaneous occurrences.
"The protesters are being generously funded and expertly coached by the same anti-U.S., anti-capitalist, anti-West puppet-masters who sprang Black Lives Matter on us a decade ago...
At the May 2024 "People's Conference for Palestine" in Detroit, featuring US Rep. Rashida Tlaib, among many others, the People's Forum's executive director Manolo De Los Santos, to great applause, called for the complete destruction of the United States.
The People's Forum, it seems, is closely affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party...
In the past year, the Black Lives Matter agenda seems to have been replaced with an agenda that is "pro" the terrorist group Hamas as the newest, most efficient way to seek the destruction of the USA and by extension, the West.

Media outlets like Fox News have a history of racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Harris.1,2 We don't have to repeat the tired tropes and offensive attacks being wielded against Harris. We've heard them all before.
When Harris was selected as vice president on Biden's presidential ticket, 61% of news coverage mentioned her race or gender, and 25% of the coverage included sexist or racist stereotyping.3,4 It's unacceptable.
We can't let history keep repeating itself.
It's time to rein in the media and demand fair and unbiased reporting, because we know that as Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans lose their grip on power, the attacks against Kamala Harris are only going to get worse...
A California city that had banned home Bible studies, and threatened one resident with zoning violation prosecutions, has decided to back down.
Officials there also say they are reworking their present city ban on renting any public facility for "any" religious event.
The news about the developments in the City of Manhattan Beach, California, comes from the American Center for Law and Justice, which has worked on the situation there.
Residents reported 29,522 violent crimes through June. But as cases of violent crime hit their highest level in the past five years, the arrest rate for these felonies declined to 10.8%, the lowest level in the past five years.
Robberies increased 21.4% – the most of any violent crime in Chicago during the past 12 months. Coordinated robbery sprees in some of the city’s traditionally safest neighborhood helped drive that number.
Just looking at the month of June showed just how bad the arrest rate is. There were 714 robberies, spread across the city, but only 16 arrests.
During the previous 12 months, Hispanic Chicagoans were 2.5 times more likely to be victims of a robbery compared to white Chicagoans.
Black Chicagoans were twice as likely to be targeted...
1942 - The WAVES were created by legislation signed by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The members of the Women's Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service were a part of the U.S. Navy.
1945 - The USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. The ship had just delivered key components of the Hiroshima atomic bomb to the Pacific island of Tinian. Only 316 out of 1,196 men aboard survived the attack.
1956 - The phrase "In God We Trust" was adopted as the U.S. national motto.
1965 - U.S. President Johnson signed into law Social Security Act that established Medicare and Medicaid. It went into effect the following year.
1974 - The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee voted to impeach President Nixon for blocking the Watergate investigation and for abuse of power.
"So the media really worked hard to push Biden out. And now what you see is all the arteries to of the left, the corporate media, Hollywood, academia, they're using all the king's horses and all the king's men to try to put the Democratic Party back together again, and they have to whitewash Harris' background be able to to make her palpable to the American people. But I think we've all seen her. She's incredibly vapid, even more incredibly liberal, and she doesn't have any accomplishments.
"In fact, she owns all the policies of the Biden-Harris administration. She owns the border, she owns the inflation. She was there cheerleading that every day for the last three and a half years. So I don't think it's going to work, but make no mistake about it, concern about it, you are in for a hundred days of massive gaslighting from the corporate press.
He pulls no punches in destroying Hamas and the Western Leftists who defend and support them, while making an impassioned defense of Israel, the Jews, and those who speak out against such barbaric terrorism.
Kamala Harris and the Democrats need their media friends to magically make everyone forget the record, but the reality is that she owns it.
The magicians in the Democratic Party sure know a lot of tricks. First, they were able to create the illusion that Joe Biden hasn’t been in cognitive decline for years, even “fooling” the corporate press (if you believe their claims). Then — abracadabra! — they were able to magically replace Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate without her receiving a single presidential primary vote.
As a big part of Biden’s administration, Harris owns his record. But don’t worry! With the help of their friends in the corporate left-wing media, the Democratic magicians are trying to make that disappear, too.
A U.S. Army base training presentation described two pro-life organizations as “terrorist groups,” according to a watchdog report confirmed by the military.
The training material was part of an “anti-terrorism brief” at Fort Liberty, formerly Fort Bragg, in North Carolina, independent journalist Sam Shoemate reported on X...
