Why did the Nashville school shooter target the Covenant School? What we know

Not everything gets reported in the news, especially when it bodes poorly for the Left's agenda. The recent, horrible Christian school mass shooting in Nashville is no exception. What's worse, the media madee the female killer, who identified as a transgender man, the victim in the story; not the three children and three adults who were slaughtered by her.

Nashville City Council Member Robert Swope spoke to the NY Post and provided them with some important information. Specifically, although police haven't yet released information regarding the domestic terrorist's motive, they could say that the three 9 year olds and the three adults were not targeted, but the school was the target of the killing.

Swope told the outlet that Hale had “looked at” two other schools, both public, before deciding “the security was too great to do what she wanted to do.” 

“So she chose a private Christian school, for, probably the reason is that the security is a whole lot less,” he went on.

In other words, it was gun-free, and probably had no bag inspection x-ray equipment to inspect backpacks and the like.

Swope was now convinced that the community needed to “harden [our] schools from ballistics, active AI systems that can recognize guns at a hundred yards outside under any circumstances.” He said he and other Nashville officials were looking into how they could do that.

Basically, Swope said the same thing the Nashville Police Chief John Drake had previously said and that the left-leaning media glossed over. In Chief Drake's case, he also included shopping malls and other soft target locations.

“We strongly believe there was going to be some other targets, including maybe family members, and one of the malls here in Nashville,” Drake said. “And that just did not happen.”

So why didn’t the shooter hit the other location that she was considering?

You might notice that Drake used the pronoun 'they' in his comment so as not to offend the sensitivities of the LGBTQ+1%~67! community. The shooter was a female, not a 'they.'

So the shooter planned carefully and saw that other locations had security measures in place so she decided to go to a gun-free [soft target] zone, a school she had attended knowing it would have no opposition. Fortunately, the school was in Nashville, not Uvalde, so the police showed what bravery was all about and killed her before she could kill anyone else.

But the targeting of the school was clear but the media wanted you to think it was due to it being a Christian school and therefore anti-LGBTQ+1%~67! which it is not. The media wanted us to feel sorry for the shooter, not the victims.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) had an unhinged fit in the Congressional hallway, and blamed the GOP for not doing something because his thinking is initiated by knee jerks.

When Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) stopped and brought up his bill to have trained teachers armed, so that there might be some measure of security, the idiot Bowman went berserk. Bowman said that more guns equal more death. So if an armed, trained teacher had a gun and shot the killer before she could kill innocent children and staff, that would lead to only one more death, not mass death. Bowman is clearly not a math genius.

If shooters know that teachers are armed, how many of these lunatics do you think would try a school shooting spree? Maybe they would go to a softer target, but taking it the next step, if concealed carry permits were universally easier to obtain, wouldn't these crazy killers think twice? And if they didn't think twice about firing on the public, wouldn't they be stopped sooner, rather than later when the police arrive?

Seconds count.

If they changed the term 'gun-free zones' to 'soft target zone' or 'unarmed target zone,' that might make mass shooters think twice about their chosen endeavor.

It's a sad irony that in schools where defunding the police was pushed by leftists, and officers were removed from these schools, [as in the Denver East High School] it became a target and did not end well on March 22nd as two people were wounded and the shooter killed himself.

By what logic does it make sense that outlawing guns--in a country that has more guns than people--would keep people willing to break the law shoot and kill the people who follow the law?

And before the bodies were cold, the left went into their "never let a tragedy go to waste" mode.
