OPINION | Right-wingers conveniently overlooked the Philadelphia shooting suspect's body armor, AR-15, and gun-nut posts. Instead, they focused on a trio of selfies showing accused killer wearing a bra and women’s clothing four months ago.
“Mass shooters study other mass shooters, so there is an element of having to have your mass shooting conform with the expectation of what a mass shooting looks like,” says sociologist James Densley of the non-partisan Violence Prevention Project Research Center in Minnesota.
According to someone who knows 40-year-old Carricker well, the selfies in women’s attire were an exercise in “self-affirmation” at the urging of a relative. But that person told The Daily Beast that Carricker was not trans. “The language that is spewed out by the conservative press is violent and is dangerous and is targeting trans women of color,” Khalif said. “It’s rallying the community to be violent and we’re better than that.”“They want to live their lives and they have every right to do so, and we will not allow conservative bigots to use that type of language to attack trans people,” Khalif said.
