    It could be a trans who regrets being pushed into being mutilated as a minor by the LGBTQ+ adults in his life. Who knows at this point, is odd the police aren't releasing it.

    horsecrap-some of the most intolerant groups towards gays are highly supportive of the Democrat party.

    Or a black dude. If the perp was white, his photo would be all over the internet by now.

    Unless its a trans white. Does seem extremely unlikely though.

    well it is pure speculation on our part, but past practice demonstrates that the more likely the identity of a shooter is to helping the anti gun and woke causes, the faster it will be released. So if it was a white male Christian with an NRA sticker on his car, wearing a MAGA hat, it would be all over the news. If it's a latino or AA male-groups that are hardly well known for being massively supportive of the alphabet agenda, it is often kept on the down low for days

    So, given that this is CA, the local DA likely won't even bother holding, or charging this person... right lefties? This is the world you want to live in...

    Perhaps that's why they haven't released information on the perp yet.

    It's speech and it wasn't the republicans that made trans political.

    Despite of what you have been told, California prison population is quite high, and its silly to think a murder would not be prosecuted.

    Either way, the suspect pulled a gun on cops, and they took him down.

    Yeah like your post that a gun law would have prevented this incident.

    Bottom line, the person responsible was obviously given bad info on the LGBTQ community, and acted upon that false info.

    The woman who was killed was not trans herself. So the actual violence was not against a trans person. Since no details have been released about what the argument actually entailed that provoked the shooting, it is all pretty much theory with no facts. The identity, and the details about the shooter have not been released. Why not?

    History says when the details are not released, it means it doesn't necessarily fit the prescribed mapping. If it had been some MAGA hat wearing bundle of testosterone, it would have been splattered all over the media. So... where are the videos?

    Trans did not play any part in it, and none of the participants were trans, and the victim was not even gay.

    So why are people claiming this is violence against the LGBT community? Because it supports the idea that they are victims?

    It's very odd to me nothing has been released about the altercation or the shooter.

    Shockingly so, to be honest. And wasn't ms Harris a direct fire hose through which those prisons were filled? It seems quite problematic, doesn't it. And even now, as the Soros funded DAs like Gascone are getting lit up for their ridiculous practices, if the perp in this case were the right demographic, it could likely trump the rights of the poor store owner and her 1rst amendment rights to put that flag out there. This is the world you folks want to inhabit is it not?

    Why do make it about the trans, when they are the smallest part of the LGBT, and had nothing to do with this incidence?

    Of course the incidence had everything to do with LGBT, since it was triggered by the flag.

    Until we have actual facts, it's only theories. Let me give you a 'what if'.

    If a flag flapped in my face when I was walking by on the sidewalk, or in a store, regardless of what that flag represented, I would likely say something to the erstwhile owner of said flag. It may have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it was a 'pride' flag at all.

    How do we know what the verbal exchange was, or what position the store owner took? Mayhap the store owner took an aggressive position, claiming disrespect of the 'pride' representation, rather than the idea that their wares were irritating in their positioning? WE DON'T KNOW.

    I don't agree with the idea that any confrontation should have lead to a shooting, but the assumption that it was disrespect to a flag BECAUSE it was a pride flag is currently not provable.

    If you read the article, it was clearly stated the man got upset over a LGBTQ flag and acted upon it by killing someone. While one can argue someone directly in the LGBTQ community was not affected, the now dead assailant was moved by hatred towards the community.
