Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey defended the trans community, saying those who direct hate toward trans people have “lost their sense of common humanity.” The shooter has been identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman. FBI Director Kash Patel identified them as a male. Documents from Westman requesting a name change say they identify as female.

Just out of curiosity, how much does it have to be before it officially crosses the line and becomes too much for human dignity? One murder? Two murders? Insurance fraud?

Intentionally murdering innocent kids is across the line. It's across the line when you know you are killing innocents and in fact that's why you did it. This isn't in any kind of gray area, and all parts of society should condemn it because it is an attack on society itself.
