The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), created by John Lott, has published research on the ratio of active shooting attacks by people who are mentally confused about their gender identity, commonly referred to as "transgender". In 2024, according to the CRPC research, "trans" were 12 times as likely to commit an active shooting attack compared to the population as a whole.
In 2024, Politifact published an article claiming that mass shooting by "trans" people is a small number of all mass shootings. As the CPRC research points out, this does not tell us if people who identify as "trans" are more or less likely to engage in mass murder or attempted mass murder than the population at large. As is common in discussions of violence and statistics, the way you define the variables makes all the difference in how the numbers shake out. Considering broad definitions of "terrorism" or "gun violence" will give a significantly different result than considering more precise definitions of active shooting attacks or mass killing. Another important variable is what time frame is considered.
The variables most important to determine if "trans" people are over-represented in active shooting attacks are the total number of active shooting attacks, the number committed by "trans" people, and the percentage of "trans" people in the population as a whole. The numbers can be refined by looking at particular population sub-groups if there is enough data. All of these numbers can be manipulated by changes in definition. When conducting statistical research, it is extremely important to use precise definitions.
The research published by the CRPC does a good job of carefully defining the numbers it uses, and the definitions which are used. The CRPC study examines both active shooting and mass killing with the traditional FBI definitions. It uses estimates of the percentage of "trans" people in the population from the Center for Disease Control, a Gallup survey in 2021, and the Census. The numbers vary from .5% to 1% in the period studied. The numbers appear to be rising. The study only looks at the period from 2018 through 2024. The study does not speculate about the causes of the increase in the percentage of people who identify as "trans".
The CRPC study also looks at the age distribution of "trans", finding that most "trans" active shooters are concentrated in age groups younger than 30 years old. The CRPC study cites research showing "trans" people have much higher levels of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, about 10-20 times higher than the rest of the population. That is not 10-20%. It is about 10 times the percentage of people considering suicide than the general population. It is about 20 times the percentage of attempted suicides compared to the percentage attempting suicide in the general population.
The research by the CRPC is a welcome counterpoint to articles which work hard to show people who identify as "trans" as less violent than non-trans people. The CRPC research does not examine the motives of "trans" people involved in active shooting incidents.
Analysis: It is not surprising that a population which takes significant amounts of powerful drugs, who are not happy with their bodies, who attempt suicide at 20 times the percentage of the population as a whole, could commit crimes against society at much higher levels than the general population.

When the first group left about 10 minutes later, the second group followed them outside and “words were exchanged,” Mancha said.
A man in the second group “brandished a handgun,” prompting a concealed-carry license holder in the first group to grab a gun from his vehicle, according to police.
They exchanged fire, and the man from the second group was hit multiple times. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead within the hour, police said.
At 7:30 p.m., a suspect threatened a man and a woman with a knife outside of the Royal Breeze Apartments located at 21227 U.S. 19 N.
Clearwater Police identified the suspect as 37-year-old Josten Pack.
Police said that, fearing for his life and the life of his girlfriend, the man shot Pack, hitting and injuring him.
40-year-old David Evans attempted to break into his estranged wife's home, where he was shot, per the Sheriff's Office.
Evans was transported to a medical facility with minor injuries.
Investigators said Heath and a 16-year-old girl conspired to rob a 15-year-old boy in the parking deck. During the robbery, the 15-year-old allegedly used a pistol to shoot and kill Heath.
The 16-year-old girl was charged with armed robbery and criminal conspiracy. Police also charged her with murder “due to her participation in a violent felony that resulted in the death of another.”
Tempe PD said Ruiz entered the apartment through a broken window and was confronted by 22-year-old Schon Nicholas Rhode, with the two exchanging gunfire.
Rhode and 21-year-old Gavin Scott Van Tassel were identified as the two men with injuries not expected to threaten their lives.

The loader is an indispensable part of a tank crew. He is responsible for keeping the main gun fed and keeping the coaxial machine gun cranking. When not engaged, he is responsible for providing security on his side of the tank. Sometimes his hatch will have a machine gun mounted, sometimes not.
The loader is generally very junior enlisted. Sometimes an E-3 or maybe an E-4.
The video is here. I wish YouTube would let me embed shorts, but they don't.
It appears that the ammo he is loading is service HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank). It's a shaped charge round that works good on lots of stuff. It's a general purpose "Fuck You" when the Tank Commander doesn't want to use up his sabot rounds.

5/21/25 Columbia Journalism Review:
Wesley Lowery—the winner of a Pulitzer Prize and a George Polk Award, and whose work in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, chronicled the organizing power of Black Lives Matter—is, at thirty-four, one of the most recognized journalists in America. He has reported for the Washington Post and CBS News. He is the author of two books: They Can’t Kill Us All (2016), about unarmed Black men killed by police, and American Whitelash (2023), a history of violent white resistance to people of color. Among young reporters, he is perhaps best known for questioning traditional journalistic objectivity, noting its failures to reckon with racism.
But for some women in journalism, his standing is more complicated. Imani Moise, a Wall Street Journal reporter, remembers that when she met up with him at a bar, in December of 2018, for what she thought would be a professional conversation, he’d ordered her a cocktail before she arrived. Olivia Messer—a journalist who is now the editor in chief of the Barbed Wire, an independent outlet focused on Texas—recalled that, in January of 2020, at a happy hour with Lowery, he was ready with more alcohol every time she returned to the table. In the spring of 2022, after two drinks, a journalist with whom Lowery matched on Bumble said that she had reached her limit, and he entreated her to get a third. (This journalist spoke on the condition of anonymity, because even a first name would make her easily identifiable, and she feared how her family would react.) A writer and researcher noticed that, in February of 2024, when she and Lowery went to a bar, he had a drink waiting for her whenever she got up to use the bathroom. (This woman, too, did not want to be named, because of the toll she said the experience has taken on her mental health.) In each case, these women wound up leaving with Lowery, who they said then sexually assaulted them.
A group of Block 52 F-16CJ Vipers belonging to the South Carolina Air National Guard was recently spotted heading east across the Atlantic as part of a huge build-up of U.S. forces ahead of potential strikes on Iran. Each of the Vipers was notably seen carrying an Angry Kitten pod, a new electronic warfare system that helps defend against anti-air threats, and that may now be headed for its first use in real combat. Angry Kitten also has a very unique genesis, which we will dive into in a moment. These particular F-16s are primarily tasked with the Wild Weasel mission and are optimized for neutralizing enemy air defenses, something that would be crucial in any future operation aimed at the regime in Tehran. They can fulfill many other types of missions, as well.
The 12 F-16CJs arrived at Lajes on the island of Terceira in the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago in the mid-Atlantic, on February 17 and left the next day. The Vipers are readily identifiable as ones assigned to the South Carolina Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing by the “South Carolina” emblazoned on many of their tails, as well as distinctive markings reflecting the wing’s nickname, the “Swamp Foxes.” They were accompanied by at least one KC-46A Pegasus tanker. A substantial U.S. Air Force tanker force is now also forward-deployed in Lajes to support the ongoing build-up.

Months before Jesse Van Rootselaar became the suspect in the mass shooting that devastated a rural town in British Columbia, Canada, OpenAI considered alerting law enforcement about her interactions with its ChatGPT chatbot, the company said.
While using ChatGPT last June, Van Rootselaar described scenarios involving gun violence over the course of several days, according to people familiar with the matter.
Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said.
OpenAI leaders ultimately decided not to contact authorities.
A spokeswoman for OpenAI said the company banned Van Rootselaar’s account but determined that her activity didn’t meet the criteria for reporting to law enforcement, which would have required that it constituted a credible and imminent risk of serious physical harm to others.
I would not want the Department of Pre-Crime making decisions about gun rights, but certainly a mental evaluation could be justified.
Researchers analyzed health data on 460,000 teenagers in the Kaiser Permanente Health System in Northern California. The teens were followed until they were 25 years old. The data included annual screenings for substance use and any mental health diagnoses from the health records. Researchers excluded the adolescents who had symptoms of mental illnesses before using cannabis.
"We looked at kids using cannabis before they had any evidence of these psychiatric conditions and then followed them to understand if they were more likely or less likely to develop them," says Dr. Lynn Silver, a pediatrician and researcher at the Public Health Institute, and an author of the new study.
They found that the teens who reported using cannabis in the past year were at a higher risk of being diagnosed with several mental health conditions a few years later, compared to teens who didn't use cannabis.
Teens who reported using cannabis had twice the risk of developing two serious mental illnesses: bipolar, which manifests as alternating episodes of depression and mania, and psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia which involve a break with reality.
Now, only a small fraction — nearly 4,000 — of all teens in the study were diagnosed with each of these two disorders. Both bipolar and psychotic disorders are among the most serious and disabling of mental illnesses....
Silver points out these illnesses are expensive to treat and come at a high cost to society. The U.S. cannabis market is an industry with a value in the tens-of-billions — but the societal cost of schizophrenia has been calculated to be $350 billion a year.
The Christchurch study also controlled for prodomal symptoms of mental illness (was this person showing signs that this was there first?) as well. While only "a small fraction" became mentally ill, these illnesses, especially schizophrenia, are terribly destructive to a society, along with the afflicted individuals. Hence, George Soros' funding of legalizing marijuana.

Ever since we built the shop, we've heated it with propane. For several years w4 used those little round heaters that sit atop the propane bottle, and they did okay, but had some flaws.
So I'm not starting that "no bacon" thing any time soon. Especially when our forecast of temps in the 60's gave way to snow, 20's, and 40 mph winds. Biscuits and Gravy just seemed the thing to do (recipe is for 3-4 folks, adjust as necessary).
- roughly 1/4 pound bacon
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/3 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon maple sugar
- 2 and 1/2 cups milk plus 1/2 cup half and half (both at room temperature)
First, cut the bacon into thirds. Put it into a large skillet and fry it over medium heat until cooked but not too brown. Remove the bacon and keep it warm. Stir the flour into the bacon grease (you want no more than 1/4 cup of fat, if you have really fatty bacon or make extra pieces, remove any excess fat beyond 1/4 cup and save for your green beans).
Whisk over low to medium heat until the flour absorbs the fat and is just turning golden brown. Add the salt, maple sugar, and black pepper. Stir the milk a third at a time, whisking after each addition, allowing it to warm before adding additional milk. Stir it in slowly, using the whisk to keep it from getting lumpy. Simmer (not a full rolling boil, please!) for 3-5 minutes, until thickened, increasing heat as needed but NO more than medium. Serve over fresh Southern Biscuits (no cans!) sprinkled with the crumbled bacon pieces and a pinch or two of Sweet or Smoked Paprika.

Officers found a 16-year-old male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Police said officers provided immediate lifesaving measures, but the teen was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators were later notified that an 18-year-old male had been dropped off at Resolute Hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. Police said he was transferred to University Hospital in San Antonio and remains in critical condition.
After what police described as an extensive investigation that included interviews, video review, and evidence collection, investigators identified two primary suspects.
Police said Jayce Cooper, 18, was identified as the shooter of the deceased victim. Police also said Cooper is the person who was dropped off at Resolute Hospital and that he was shot by the victim during the altercation.
What we know:
Fort Worth police said they got a call around 11 p.m. on Wednesday about a man with a gunshot wound in the 6000 block of White Dove Drive.
After he was taken to the hospital, police determined that he was actually the suspect in a prior attempted robbery.
The victim told police a man approached him and attempted to rob him, so he pulled out a firearm and shot the would-be robber.

We are fresh off of President's Day, and this is one of the few country songs that name-checks a President.
2/20/26 Crime Prevention Research Center:
A widely cited February 2024 report by Politifact claimed: “No evidence of rising LGBTQ+ violent extremism or ‘trans terrorism.” A follow report by them in September 2025 that examined both the FBI’s definition of active shooting attacks and the notion of mass shootings concluded: “Are trans people ‘statistically’ more prone to commit gun violence? Data shows a different picture.” It looked at the period from 2018 to 2024 that we examine here.
Unfortunately, these and similar claims make a basic error: they look only at the share of attacks committed by transgender individuals and fail to adjust for transgender individuals’ share of the population. That is an obvious statistical mistake. If a group makes up just 1 percent of the population but commits 10 percent of the attacks, no one would dismiss that disparity simply because the group accounts for “only” 10 percent of active shooting attacks.
