As soon as the news broke about the shooting, the left mobilized on social media. The children hadn’t been released to their parents, and the left was in full-scale politicization.
Then a very curious detail was released by police, the shooter was a teenage female. A few hours later, police reported that the alleged female shooter was 28 years old. It wasn’t long before we learned that the alleged shooter was a biological female who transitioned to being a male.
Not even 24 hours after the shooting, CNN had below to say.

The media is going to struggle because, according to police, the shooter left a manifesto that will eventually be released.

Additionally, the alleged shooter’s mother is a grassroots Democrat who identified Hale as her daughter – despite Hale using He/Him pronouns – and was an advocate for gun control.
Audrey Hale’s mother, Norma Hale said: “It is very, very difficult right now. I think I lost my daughter today.” Norma was an advocate for gun control. She once posted a petition to make large-capacity gun magazines illegal as a response to the horrors at Sandy Hook.
Then there was ABC News who blamed the children and Christians.
ABC is victim blaming the poor innocent children. There is never a low they won’t sink to. https://t.co/Tw58FjVHFK

It’s important that any response from the right is peaceful. Repaying violence with violence is unacceptable. There’s nothing the media would like more than to turn this around.
