Compounding the absolute senselessness of the mass shooting that took place Monday at a privately-owned Nashville Christian elementary school has been the predictable yet infuriating behavior of the mainstream media, who early on made respecting the now-deceased murderer Audrey Hale’s gender identity preferences a major focus in their early “reporting” on what happened.
Hale, a 28-year-old former student of the school, murdered six people including three nine-year-old children during her rampage before Metro Nashville police officers responded to the scene, located her, and shot her, killing her. Hale reportedly identified as “he/him” according to social media profiles and people who knew her.
Because of that intense media focus on Hale’s pronoun preferences, the right picked up on it and speculated about her possible motives, wondering if perhaps Hale’s LGBTQ status might have been a motivating factor for her to target a Christian school.
In turn, the press and Democrats both have tried to turn Hale and the transgender community into the “real victims” of the Nashville mass shooting, as evidenced by the below stories:
CBS News even went so far as to bar their staff from mentioning Hale’s transgender status in their stories:
“The shooter’s gender identity has not been confirmed by CBS News,” the network’s executives insisted in a Tuesday memo obtained by The Post. “As such, we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime. Should that change, we can and will revisit.”The CBS News directive was delivered on a Tuesday morning editorial call by Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, the executive vice president of newsgathering, and Claudia Milne, the senior vice president of standards and practices, according to sources close to the Tiffany Network.“Right now we advise saying: POLICE IDENTIFIED THE SUSPECT AS A 28-YEAR-OLD AUDREY HALE, WHO [sic] THEY SHOT AND KILLED AT THE SCENE,” the Tuesday memo said. “And move on to focus on other important points of the investigation, community and solutions.
Naturally, the Biden White House got in on the action in talking about how the “trans community… are under attack right now”:
Perhaps most despicable of all, however, was footage that began circulating hours after the Tennessee “transurrection” took place Thursday. In it, you hear someone who is presumably one of the “protest” organizers encouraging people to hold up seven fingers in what sounded like an apparent attempt at declaring Hale as the seventh victim of the Monday shooting massacre she orchestrated.
“Every death is a tragedy, y’all. Seven lives,” the person can be heard stating as numerous people in the crowd held up seven fingers.
Watch:
This is just nuts, blood boiling. One can only imagine the pain this will cause family members of the actual victims in the event any of them see it.
For the record, here are the real victims of Hale’s mass shooting spree:
Remember them and their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers, and say a prayer for this country, too, while you’re at it. Because based on what we’ve seen play out in it starting on Monday, it desperately needs it.
