Berg’s 18th Law Is Still In Full Effect

I’ll do my due diligence and make my usual reference to my self-coined but completely accurate dictum:

Berg’s Eighteenth Law of Media Latency

Nothing the media writes/says about any emotionally charged event – a mass shooting, a police shooting, anything – should be taken seriously for 48 hours after the original incident.  It will largely be rubbish, as media outlets vie to “scoop” each other even on incorrect facts.

I will continue to observe this law.

But to speculate just a bit? I’m going to go out on a short sturdy limb and guess mass shooting at the Covenant School disappears down the memory hole.

The shooter, y’see, is a former student who, while being almost universally “deadnamed” in the media by her original, female identity, seemed to be pretty actively presenting her…er, him…er, xheirself as (what biologists used to call) male:

That’s two spree killings in one. year carried out by gender-dysmorphic people. The avalanche of mental illness spurred on by the lockdowns and America’s general spiritual and emotional decline is paying dividends for those who benefit from both.

Darn that NRA.

And I’m sure various cultural cues, like this and this…

…were utterly unrelated.

By the way – like most spree killers, the murderer chose the target because there was less chance of resistance. The school was a “gun free zone”, and had other vulnerabilities that beckoned:

[Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake] answered, “Yes,” [that Covenant was the only school targeted] but noted there was another location the suspect considered striking as well. However, he said the suspect did “a threat assessment” of the other location and decided there was “too much security.

Draw your conclusions. I certainly am .

Unlike the Uvalde shooting, initial reports indicated the police response was fast, violent and decisive – something that the Feds long ago determined was a key factor for dealing with spree killers, and that this blog has noted time and again and again and again and again and again is of paramount importance in containing and ending these shootings.

  1. AND already hearing “fast, violent and decisive” was an execution by the cops. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s support for the shooter in the mainstream before this is done.

  2. I’ve seen some, shall we say, muted, qualified disapprove.

    “I don’t support violence, but I get it…” kinda thing.

  3. I’ll say it; we want to ask whether it was roid rage. A bunch of the East German athletes that were systematically doped showed psychological issues, one of whom had them so bad, she actually transitioned. I don’t know that this is the case here, but it’s a question that ought to be asked.

  4. News says the girl in pants resented having to go to a Christian school. No doubt her outrage was fed by degenerates manipulating her.

    Maybe she woke up and realized her breasts were really gone, and weren’t coming back.

  5. Allegedly, a DemoCommie trans activist, called for a day of vengeance in the group’s Twitter account, specifically in Nashville last week. The same group was trying to organize trans people to show up, masked, at the SCOTUS on Saturday. Of course, the account is now private.

    Some pub called “LGBTQ Nation”, is touting the the shooter “might have been trans”.

    Disgusting behavior by the left, including Pedo Pete and his token spokesperson, politicizing tragedies. Scum bags!

  6. You know who wants you to believe that the shooter’s trans status had nothing to do with her killing 6 people? The Left!
    You know who wants you to believe that the shooter’s trans status was the reason she killed 6 people? The Left!
    When the dust clears, I think that you will find that she had severe psychological issues, probably dominated by depression. There are millions of Americans with similar problems, probably many of them with identical problems, who didn’t decide to kill themselves and take innocent human beings with them. The single biggest difference the shooter and all of these other Americans is that she was a psychopath and they aren’t.

  7. True, UMMP. While reading your comment, I was thinking to myself that based on the info I read, that stupid bint did a suicide-by-cop by taking out six people including three children. What a cruel heartless coward.

    Kinda looking forward to the Grand Reopening of those state asylums for the insane that were closed because Nurse Ratched was mean to a bunch of fun-loving psychos.

  8. Stipulated: firearms are dangerous In the wrong hands

    Stipulated: persons suffering from mental illness are the wrong hands

    Stipulated: gender dephoria is a form of mental illness

    Conclusion: trans people should not be allowed to possess firearms.

    Logical action: Law enforcement should seek out trans people’s residences to remove firearms from them, under the red flag analysis that trans people are too dangerous to be allowed to possess firearms.

    I expect the president to make an announcement any day now.

  9. Stipulated: gender dephoria is a form of mental illness
    Current orthodoxy is that gender dysphoria is a medical condition that has a medical cure.
    The orthodoxy is wrong, the closest thing that can be called a physician/ psychiatrist consensus on the treatment of gender dysphoria are the so-called Dutch Protocols of 1996. Psychiatrists have been ignoring the Dutch Protocol because it has too many safeguards, it stops doctors & head shrinks from handing out puberty blockers and hormones like skittles. The excuse they use is that lupron & hormones are given in a last ditch effort to prevent patient self harm, There is no science behind it.

  10. She should have enlisted in the Uke Army to fight for genital mutilation, buttsex and degeneracy…a life wasted.

  11. Merg, if you don’t post a photo shopped pic of your Lt. Gov wearing that shirt with an AR replacing the bayonette, you are disowned.

  12. The shooter is supposed to have had two targets in Nashville. She went straight to target #2 because she saw target #1 was more secure.
    If the Christian school was too secure, I wonder where she would have gone? A daycare?

  13. https://gab.com/josefbosch/posts/110101858446056638

    Any culture that takes a sweet little girl in a Transformers sweater and turns her into a mutilated tranny monster who executes kids in the hallways of a Christian school is broken and perverse and ghoulish.

    It’s high time to punish those who’ve encouraged this for what they’ve done.

  14. NPR is reporting on Pedo Joe’s call to disarm Weimerica…. No mention the shooter was a girl who got her breasts cut off, or that she was holding a grudge against Christians.

    No wonder leftist degenerates are so fucking ignorant. Even if they are not as intellectually deficient as rAT and Bikebubble, they’re being constantly bombarded with bullshit.

  15. Today’s head shrinkers.
    “Well, Ava, you’re 16 years old, 5′ 4″ tall and you weigh 105 lbs. Why do you think that you have body issues?”
    “I’m too fat Doctor. I look in the mirror and I am disgusted at how fat I am. I am so fat I want to kill myself!”
    “It sounds like you need some amphetamines, Ava. They usually work to reduce body weight, but if the amphetamines don’t work, there is always liposuction.”
    “Really? Amphetamines for me? Is it a renewable prescription? Can’t we go straight to the liposuction?”
    “I’ll check with your insurance provider.”
    “Gosh, thank you doctor!”

  16. Lots of purging going on tonight. M-F tranny’s purging their accounts of pictures of them holding pistols & rifles & telling people to Kill TERF’s and “christf*ckers.”
    They are incels.

  17. OK, what we actually know; shooter was on the autism spectrum and receiving mental health care, had only recently come out as “trans”. Plus, the perp had an intermittent employment history, and you need consistent insurance to get surgeries. So I’d doubt the perpetrator had had a mastectomy.

    Regarding trans activists scrubbing their social media, while I guess it may be warranted at this point, the sad thought is that with this “sign of something gone terribly wrong” obliterated, people are less likely to get the help they need.

  18. The majority of violent antifa members are trans. These trans activists are wearing shirts with pictures of scary black rifles, emblazoned with the violent slogan “Trans Rights Or Else”.

  19. Disturbing TV coverage of the tranny homicidal maniac has begun. I saw in NBC a series of questions posted that could only be seen as generating sympathy for the murderer. I thought see weren’t going two focus in the criminals. If a white male has attacked a Muslim or black charter school, or a mosque or synagogue, “hate crime” would be in the lips of ever talking head on TV. But the narrative doesn’t allow for that with a Christian school. I fully expect a series of sympathetic stories about how the poor by girl was bullied. Blah, blah, blah.

  20. Once again, I’m trying to figure out how another intermittently employed young person put together the scratch to buy a couple of scary rifles.

  21. Night,
    Yup! And living with her parents, too. Oblivious to what their emotionally damaged kid was doing?! They told police that it had a hand gun, but sold it when it was diagnosed with issues, but claim that they didn’t know about the other ones. Seriously?! Somebody close to her, like the woman it was exchanging texts with, had to know. As of this morning, the police haven’t released the manifesto. Gee, I wonder why?

  22. Just heard this update.
    Shooter lived in the $700k house of the parents and allegedly, one of the reasons for the coward’s actions, was the lack of acceptance by the parents.

  23. There is only victim here – the perp. Fuck the kids, they died for a good… nay… GREAT cause! Just collateral damage on the road to a greater good. Don’t believe me, just look at the MSM reportage.

  24. Just heard this update.
    Shooter lived in the $700k house of the parents and allegedly, one of the reasons for the coward’s actions, was the lack of acceptance by the parents.

    Oh jeeze….say rAT? Does your ER NuRSe still live in the FabULouS LakEFrONt EsTAtE? I suppose you accept, nay embrace what ever fruitcake xe turned out to be from the mental/emotional damage your making porn available to xer as a kid caused, but still…better look around for any weapons.

    Maybe time for another trip to FloraNCe to gaze appreciatively at David’s gigantic junk…fire up the Gulfstream!
