Something that never happens!!! Illinois gun suspect wore women's clothing to blend in

This again and again.

And people ‘can’t gawp’ can they?

Yes, this. By donning a wig and make-up he becomes the class of person who can go anywhere and do anything and no one is allowed to challenge him.

Thank you, Samphire. It will indeed be interesting to see how this plays out.

There's one upthread, a screenshot. But Twitter have already suspended his accounts. An image search throws up a few pictures - Awake the Rapper.

No she had a man who put on a ‘womans’ coat as a disguise. There is a trans character in one of her books and they are just one of the characters (quite sympathetically written actually).

But people don’t want to hear that do they?

There are pictures in his SM feeds from months ago of him dressing in women's clothes.

Any links?

And look... there he is... in all his Twitter glory! I wonder how he will identify when it comes to sentencing?

Such an assumption! Maybe he is trans and dressed up as a man to be violent and went back to his real, authentic self when leaving.

Maybe that was his message!

How can we know?

And for the record, it is not feminists always drawing attention to the few bad trans people. It is Stonewall and so called trans allies creating a situation where the trans umbrella is so wide as to encompass a growing number of particularly abusive males.

Surely according to the views of Stonewall and others this man actually is “trans”, as the umbrella term now includes any man who chooses to wear women’s clothing.

Of course, he likely no more suffers gender dysphoria or views himself as trans than I do, but if we take the activists at their word, he’s under that broad umbrella.

Reminded of those despicable posters appearing on female bathrooms. What was it we were told?Do not question a person who you feel shouldn't be in there. Leave them alone and mind your own business. No thought whatsoever to the potential harm to girls and women.

From the photos up thread it seems less likely he blended in and more likely he looked like one of a class of people who must never be questioned lest we are outcast as bigots.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Indeed. And the so-called Cambridge Rapist was arrested in the '70s trying to escape from his final crime dressed as a woman and wearing a long blonde wig.

Unsurprisingly, very few: www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/04/youtube-shooting-gun-attacks-in-the-us-are-rarely-carried-out-by-women

Yes - it was the inspiration for the Boomtown Rats song "I don't like Mondays" back in the 70s.

Just out of interest, because I don't know and I don't want to google and disappear down that particular wormhole just before bed, have any women carried out mass shootings?

I recall when the Alec McKinney story came out, a lot of obfuscation and denial. News stories getting pulled, nobody reporting on it all of a sudden. And obviously, the fact of McKinney or Crimo, or anyone being trans (or not) doesn't have any bearing on their crime.

The salient point, and the bigger issue is as pointed out above:

We have created a 'sacred caste'.

Tbh he screams 'liberal terrorist' to me. Extremism is toxic no matter which side it's from.

I really haven't read much on this at all as I find shooting in American so mentally exhausting to process, but when I first heard about a shooting on Independence Day I thought it could me some nut trying to make a 'point' about 'freedom' in America.

Ezra Miller vibes.

My first thoughts are that he disguised himself as a woman as the police would no doubt initially assume the perpetrator to be a man - as they overwhelmingly are in these cases - thus giving himself a better chance of getting away.

In the future there may be a time when so many violent crimes have been recorded as being perpetrated by 'women' who are actually male by sex, that the statistics may be so skewed that this kind of assumption wouldn't apply.

Women are constantly being harangued into going against all our knowledge, experience and instincts into pretending that no man would ever perform femininity for nefarious reasons, that the only reason a man would ever do something as humiliating as put on a dress, enter a women's locker room or attend a woman-only counselling session is to become his authentic self. We are told to be safe we must curtail our freedom and never truly relax our guard but that if we suspect that any man has bad intentions we are nasty, uptight and small-minded. You grow up being told never to trust strangers and then all of a sudden you're expected to switch to always taking men at face value, unless you want to be seen as a complete bitch. It's compelled naivety.
