I read the manifesto. Maybe I missed something (feel free to point it out) but I didn’t see anything that points to her being transgendered, a man-hater, nor a leftist.
The closest thing I saw to ideology was that she apparently hates black people and religion.
It read to me like the ranting of a very troubled teenager.
I agree and I was referring to the man hating feminist statements in her manifesto. I'm currently unaware of any evidence indicating the shooter is transgender (I said perhaps). That was based on unfounded early reports. We'll see what the evidence shows.
 
I’d rather those crimes be prosecuted as well, but if the choice is something along the lines of putting 12 non-violent offenders in jail for 10 months at the cost of catching and convicting a guy who murdered two people and another involved in a home invasion/malicious wounding, I think I’d agree with the DA.
In any case, the DA’s choice appears to be a pragmatic, if unpalatable one and it has nothing to do with any lefty/progressive desire to keep the flow of guns on the street completely unfettered. You can’t point to any such philosophy by any democrat of note (I’ll even include posters here in that group) and it’s starting to feel like you’re arguing in bad faith.

We're not talking about speeding tickets or pot possession here. We're talking about felons in possession of illegal firearms, boasting that they are going to keep carrying their illegal weapons because there are literally no consequences for doing so. Durham has a major problem with gun crime. Choosing to not enforce gun laws when you are in the midst of a gun crime epidemic is not a sound strategy, IMO.

And it is not just in Durham:

The opposition to ShotSpotter has a lot to do with the ACAB bandwagon. In fact, ShotSpotter is one of the favorite targets of anti-policing activists:

Johnson threatened to veto it, but did not. Nonetheless, even if there is an opening for ShotSpotter going forward, the end of the contract is a victory that anti-policing and anti-surveillance activists in the city had been working toward for years. Their achievement provides a potential blueprint for other cities trying to roll back the use of ShotSpotter and other high-tech crime “solutions” in favor of investments in underprivileged communities.


I don't see many downsides to alerting the police about gunshots, but some people do.
Ffs, dude…I mean, keep ignoring the fact that in several cities it’s been shown to be relatively inefficient and costly, and keep whining about progressives. It’s like talking to brick fucking wall.

It is a brick wall.

Yeah, I've read (what is purported to be) the manifesto.

I didn't find it to be anything earth shattering. At times, it was not even terribly coherent (which isn't surprising from a 15 year old who was obviously in serious distress).

I don't see what the big deal about it is and I don't think it adds much to the overall story.

Didn't I already say that it isn't a solution for every city? But it is a valuable tool for some? So what are we arguing about?

No, you said it’s not a one size fits all solution—but you’ve consistently implied that it should be part of a comprehensive package in Durham (despite its reported ineffectiveness) and other cities, and you’ve blamed progressives for the fact that many cities have looked at the data and decided not to use it.

I'm just going with what the Durham police chief said. He's probably more in tune with crime there than either one of us. And I provided you with a link showing that anti-police activists are fighting shot spotter across the country. Like, they are saying in their own words "this is part of our anti-police strategy" and you are simply ignoring it. Brick wall indeed.
 
Appreciate the post and agree with most of it.

Regarding the Wild West, frontier towns such as Tombstone, Deadwood, Dodge City, etc. had gun control laws/ordinances prohibiting carrying guns in public. Local merchants and town founding fathers wanted quiet, peaceful communities.
Agreed on frontier towns. I guess I'm referring more to Hollywood Westerns.

That’s my point. Thanks. You keep whining about activists instead of taking into account the evidence that city leaders across the country have access to. It’s not as though these programs haven’t been pilot-tested and studied. Instead, it must be the lousy progressive activists.

Brick wall indeed.

Yup, I guess we should just ignore the activists who state in their own words that they want to get rid of ShotSpotter nationwide in their effort to abolish policing.
 

Update on this case. Apparently the judge was running a sex for favor scam. " Oh, you don't have enough money to pay for that ankle monitor so you can get out on bail? Let's see if we can work something out." No indication if that was the reason the sheriff shot him.

And according to a witness who some allegedly saw some videos of people having sex with defendants in the judge's Chambers, it includes other "higher-ups" in the area.

 
I wonder why the sheriff didn't arrest the judge if he was in possession of all this evidence? Is the sheriff going to claim he didn't shoot the judge? If not, what is his reasoning for pleading not guilty? We know he killed the judge. That is on videotape.

The overt racism, discussion of other neo Nazi affiliated killers, and her use is the term "saint" to describe them is pretty strong evidence that she was influenced by the Terrorgram Collective, which is a very right wing Nazi militant accelerationist organization.

That’s probably why it’s already fallen out of the news cycle. That’s how you know it’s real and being covered up by the media.
 


I found this to be a really helpful exploration of the terrorgam network and what they produce. You can skip to the 22 minute mark for this.

Where did you encounter those reports? From which of the media diet that you admitted to did this misinformation come?

Note that I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and not calling it disinformation.
