I'm skeptical that the man who writes songs about his desire to see someone dead is the same man who actually commits the murder, but this is (one more piece of) evidence of the desire among trans activists to see those they deem their enemies murdered and their total lack of inhibition about it
"Trans activists who have published murderous fantasies about public figures" just doesn't narrow the category down very much
Thread of various trans activists who have called for murder:

DC comics canceled a planned series authored by this trans-identified male author whose prior works includes a novel featuring the death of JK Rowling, murders of TERF's, and a killing executed by the removal of a black woman's womb while she is still conscious. Image

Wondering if this piece is the first and only appearance of the term "Luigi Left" in the mainstream media?

It ran two days ago, was criticized by some as the ramblings of someone Too Online, but now it seems pretty timely.
The Luigi Left
"Why are you ranting about Luigi Mangione in a piece about 'abundance'??"

"Oh."

1.) These are statistically rare events. There were 428 black-on-white stranger-on-stranger killings in 2019 -- 3 percent of all murders.

2.) They are far more common than the police killings of unarmed black men that became a national obsession in the 2010's. There were 12 killings of unarmed black men in 2019 as the Black Lives Matter movement ramped up to its crescendo.

A narrative can easily be fashioned online by exploiting the "availability heuristic" that causes the subconscious mind to confound the vividness and memorability of events for their incidence. That is what right wing accounts focusing on the black-on-white stranger killings are doing.

Which is of course what the whole of the media did from 2015-2020 for police killings of unarmed black men, culminating in a nationwide freakout that put American cities in flames and resulted in the deaths of 30 people.

This created a pent up interest in re-establishing the salience of 2.), the goal of which is not a nationwide street freakout but simply the changing of prosecutorial polices that allow the catch and release of repeat violent offenders.Image

Yes, 30 deaths directly attributed to violence in the riots and the largest two year spike in murder deaths in American history resulting in thousands of excess deaths above the prior baseline as law enforcement was delegitimized for several years

Even amidst this spike, the rate remained lower than its peak in the 1990's, though, because crime had been so thoroughly reduced in the prior three decades (while instances of police violence had also declined drastically, a kind of public policy miracle nearly unprecedented in modern history)

"When you get to the issues around sports, trans issues, that's now no longer about celebrating your rights. It's about denying other people theirs." -- Gavin Newsom

Newsom articulates what will in the end prove to be the decisive fact about the trans rights movement: that trans rights and women's rights are zero sum -- to give to the former group is to take from the latter group.

"Marriage equality was about everyone's rights. Your marriage was not diminished because a couple that had been together 30 years got married and happened to be the same sex, but your child may not have that same opportunity to get on the podium if a trans athlete is competing for that limited spot."

Tremendous effort has been expended by the trans rights movement to deny this fundamental antagonism and keep it out of public circulation.

Newsom just put it out there.Image
"When you get to the issues around sports, trans issues, that's now no longer about celebrating your rights. It's about denying other people theirs." -- Gavin Newsom
Newsom explains why he pivoted on trans inclusion in sports. (The actual reason is that polls shows it's an 80-20 issue with 67 percent of Democrats opposed.)

He does what Harris wasn't able to do on this or any other issue where she flip-flopped. He provides a largely dishonest, halfway credible sounding explanation of why he flipflopped.

After the 2023 mass shooting at a Christian school by a trans-identified female in Nashville, transgender protesters rallied in the legislature and held up seven fingers to refer to seven victims -- the six gunned down by the mass shooter, and the shooter herself, killed by police at the scene of her shooting.

Three days later, the White House spokeswoman president said "LGBTQI+ kids are resilient. They are fierce. They fight back. They’re not going anywhere. And we have their back. This administration has their back."

So it's no surprise that soon after yet another mass murder of children by a trans-identified shooter, the movement are acting like they are the victims while also marking the site of a mass killing perpetrated by one of their own with their flag.Image
There's a reason that this movement doesn't resemble prior civil rights movements -- why it behaves so differently than prior such movements while still claiming to inherit the legacy of those prior movements. That is to say that it is something other than it claims to be -- it is not what it identifies as.
No one affiliated with the party that has deemed the falsification of sex to be the "civil rights movement of the 21st century" has ever condemned this kind of sadistic and murderous speech

Rowling invited arrest by calling a male murderer a man the day a Scottish hate crime late went into effect. She dared the Scottish state to arrest her. She promised to retweet the speech of anyone prosecuted for calling a man a man, thus obliging the state to add her to the docket as s co-defendant of any such trial.

The state knows that any such retweet would result in thousands of others volunteering to be co-defendants. The state has judged it prudent to hold itself back from direct confrontation with Rowling, who represents both opportunity and threat.

Opportunity because if she can be brought to heel by the coercive power of the state, anyone can. Threat because if she can galvanize the supermajority of the public that agrees with her to become as impassioned about defending reality as the state is about imposing delusional falsehoods as the only truth by law, she can injure or even shatter their democratic legitimacy. We know that on this issue they do not care about the will of the people, but we know that at least for now they are constrained to behave as if they do. And so they bide their time.

The historical figure she resembles in all this is Martin Luther -- the individual voice of conscience confronting the institutional order with nothing but truth in a contest over whether individual conscience can withstand an inquisition.
Anyone who watched her tweet on that day knows that her decision to assume this role was entirely spontaneous, that she was coming to understand what she confronted in the very act of confronting it.
I'm quite sure that Rowling didn't imagine inviting the Scottish state to arrest her would or could ever be part of her life's trajectory until moments before tweeting the invitation.

I'm sure it didn't feel entirely real even after having done so.

Glinner's arrest concretizes what has remained in the domain of the speculative until yesterday -- for everyone, for us, for them, for the world.

Yes, we are in fact really doing this thing that is embedded within the very structure of the transgender movement: we are using the violence of the state to root out blasphemy.
