The San Diego Mosque attack that killed three must have really excited the media. It couldn\u2019t have more perfectly supported several of their cherished narratives. Muslims were killed defending a mosque, and the killers were white\u2014maybe even Jews!–so Islamophobia, hate crime, white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and they just had to be MAGA Trump lovers. It couldn\u2019t be more perfect. But within less than a day, it all fell apart, and the story was flushed down the memory hole to preserve Democrat\/media narratives.<\/p>

Despite knowing little or nothing, local officials immediately propped up the narrative, and so did Hakeen Jefferies:<\/p>\n

The now Muslim-directed New York City PD also got in on the act:<\/p>\n

We quickly learned\u00a0the killers were\u00a017-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez. We also learned\u00a0Clark shot Vasquez twice in the head and then shot himself. Their bodies were found in a vehicle near the mosque.<\/p>\n

The New York Post\u00a0really dismantled\u00a0the media narratives. The killers left an unfinished, 75-page manifesto that deflated the media\u2019s fondest hopes. In it, they praised Hitler and many mass killers. They wanted to provoke a race war and end civilization. The manifesto is strewn with Nazi symbolism, which is a bit of a problem in that Muslims were allies of the Nazis in WWII. Even worse were anti-Trump, anti-liberal, antisemitic, homophobic, and misogynistic ravings. Part of the ravings, apparently written by Clark, specifically noted he was neither right nor left and hated both.<\/p>\n

It got worse for the media. The manifesto largely focused on hatred of Jews.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n

In the document titled “The Universal Enemy,” the attackers asserted that while various groups are commonly blamed for societal problems, “the government, the elite, the rich, the politicians”, all such issues could ultimately be traced back to one source. The manifesto repeatedly emphasized this claim through explicit repetition, stating “IT’S THE JEWS” multiple times in capital letters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Probably worst of all, the killers were mentally ill.\u00a0Vasquez hated women because they ignored him, because he was short. He was also tortured by his autism. The parents of both\u00a0tried to get them help for years, but it didn\u2019t take. This\u00a0angle must have horrified the media and convinced them to bury the story:<\/p>\n

The mosque had long been one of the most anti-American around. Two 9-11 hijackers attended there, and Amin Abdullah, one of the security guards killed, posted this bit of antisemitism last year:<\/p>\n

\n

He and the killers ironically shared that ideology.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the possibility that one or both may have been trans would have been enough to kill the story for a media desperate to always portray trans as innocent, angelic victims of a \u201ctrans genocide.\u201d Photos of Vasquez portray him with long and\/or braided hair and soft, almost feminine, features.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr. John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center\u00a0is an honest researcher the media loves to hate, not only because he often writes on Second Amendment issues, but trans issues, including this one: \u00a0<\/p>

There continue to be claims that the two male shooters at the San Diego mosque were involved in some type of romantic relationship,\u00a0with one of the murderers being transgender<\/strong>. While the speculation might be completely undeserved, a concern is that the media has previously hidden that attackers were transgender. For example, in the wake of the attacks in\u00a0Canada\u00a0and\u00a0Pawtucket, Rhode Island, public debate has once again focused on transgender murderers. But the\u00a0Associated Press, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, MS Now, and the New York Times\u00a0never mentioned the Rhode Island Shooter was transgender. The\u00a0Associate Press\u00a0never mentioned the Canadian mass murderer was transgender.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lott, as always, is careful with assertions. We don\u2019t know that one or both of the killers were trans, and one would think actual journalists would want to know that, particularly when it\u2019s clear trans commit mass shootings in numbers far out of proportion to their numbers in the population\u2014approximately 0.73% of adults.\u00a0\u00a0According to Dr. Lott, that\u2019s up to 16.4 times their population distribution.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What\u2019s also clear is both killers were mentally ill and socially self-isolated. They hated themselves and pretty much everything about everyone else, including Jews, though there is no apparent evidence they had any contact with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If they so hated Jews, why didn\u2019t they attack a synagogue? We\u2019ll likely never see the entire manifesto, but the answer could be nothing simpler than that they knew where the mosque was, and it was convenient.<\/p>\n

What wasn\u2019t convenient for the media was reality rather than their cherished, invented narratives, what they believed ought to be, rather than what was.<\/p>\n
