An Immodest Proposal

One of the most frustrating aspects of mass shootings is that the shooter usually kills himself after wreaking death and destruction. There is no one left alive to whom earthly justice can be meted out. Yes, I firmly believe that the Eternal Judge has already meted out true and righteous justice to the Minneapolis Annunciation shooter. But serving earthly justice on those who murder is important both as a punishment and as a deterrent to others.

Therefore, I propose that all who aid and abet in the purported gender transition of a shooter should be held accountable for their roles in the murders. This would include primarily the medical doctors and psychiatrists who mutilated and chemically sterilized the shooter and turned him into a human weapon. It could include the judges and parents who approved the shooter's name change and urged him to transition. Perhaps even mayors and governors who proclaim their jurisdictions as trans havens should be held accountable. There are many who should be afraid because of their responsibility for the Annunciation shooter.

If you randomly launch a rocket into a city, you would be held responsible. In the same way, if you so disfigure and deform a person's body and mind that you can expect that he may become a mass shooter, you have aided and abetted murder.

    Don't forget the parents. a lot of them should be first in line.

    This is a challenging and thought-provoking post. I can’t say that I “like” it, but it leads me to grapple with several different ideas almost faster than I can keep sorted in my mind.

    I recommend this be promoted to the Main Feed as soon as possible.
