Our news isn't reporting that the shooter was trans. I wonder if they will. Is it essential information? Is it an interesting fact?

Yes, it's probably interesting and relevant that a woman dosed up on testosterone committed a crime normally perpetrated by men, especially as it's not the first.

Only...it's not really a universal thing, the testosterone. They looked at males in a game setting. They had classified them beforehand. The more impulsive males became more aggressive with testosterone. The not so much impulsive did not change.

It's easy to measure behavior with total lack of testosterone vs normal than comparing normal to elevated. The low low males show no interest in sex.

The abstracts of the papers did not really tell me how they were dosed.

They always leave a manifesto. Because very likely they will be shot:
Police have located writings and a map associated with the shooting at the Covenant School, according to Metro Nashville Police Department Chief John Drake.

"We have a manifesto, we have some writings that we're going over that pertain to this date," said Drake at a Monday afternoon press conference. "We have a map drawn out of how this was all gonna take place."

Stii no details other than:
...moments before the massacre took place in which Hale wishes farewell to a friend and states: “One day this will make more sense. I’ve left behind more than enough evidence behind. But something bad is about to happen.”

Shooter designed logos. Also clever part time job:
Hale's LinkedIn account also lists work as a part-time grocery shopper with the food delivery service Shipt and mentions past employment as a cat sitter.

Seems to be several such events a year. Take a gun to your party, might impress someone.

Is that a gun in your pocket, or...?

Shit, it is a gun! Everybody, run for your lives!

Idaho Becomes Latest State To Permit Execution By Firing Squad

Republican Idaho Gov. Brad Little has signed a bill allowing execution by firing squad, making Idaho the latest state to turn to older methods of capital punishment amid a nationwide shortage of lethal injection drugs. What do you think?
