Denver School Shooters Despised Trump, Christians, One Was Transgender Female

Democrats are quick to politicize mass shootings, and school shootings, against conservative who support the right to bear arms.

But when the school shooter is a far left terrorist and it does not fit their agenda they tend to ignore the politics of the shooter.

On Tuesday there was a school shooting that left one dead and many injured at STEM School Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

And in that shooting the two perpetrators did not fit the mold that the media likes to portray of the gun toting conservative.

One of the shooters was Devon Erickson, 18, who said he hated President Donald Trump and Christians and loved former President Obama.

“In 2016, he shared a video of Seth Meyers criticizing President Donald Trump, and the year before he shared an Occupy Democrats post praising then President Barack Obama,” The Heavy reported.

“Newer posts aren’t visible; some of his posts were more mundane. “GO BRONCOS!!!! LETS TAKE DOWN THE PATRIOTS!!!!” read one 2016 post.

“Pages he liked on Facebook run the gamut, and they included pages devoted to AK47s, PewDiePie, Chuck Norris, and Bruno Mars, among many others,” it said.

Is the media biased?

The other shooter has not been named but she is a female minor who is transgender and is transitioning to be a male, The New York Daily News reported.

The second suspect, an unnamed minor, “is a transgender male in the midst of transitioning from female to male,” reported KMGH Denver late Tuesday night, quoting “multiple sources close to the investigation.”

The motive may have been linked to “revenge and anger toward others at the school,” KMGH said, adding that at least one of the two alleged shooters had been involved in drug use, both legal and illegal, and had undergone therapy.

Deputies responded to the scene within two minutes, just before 2 p.m. local time, and “engaged the suspects,” Spurlock said. The shooters fired at two different locations at the school, he said.
