Does not fit the narrative the media wants to play out.
Another thing to note, the female officer who shot him has been applauded and praised for her heroism yet the man who held a bollard up to the perpetrator to stop him getting into the kids play area and committing acts of horror to children has remained silent.
I mean, there’s also a “Law and Order” (politics, not the tv show) aspect to that, in that we are a nanny state (and arguably becoming a police state) where “vigilante justice” is almost always met with outsize force by the state, and where the media almost always praises “our men and women in uniform”…
Except when they come up against Abos, of course, or turn out to be “conservatives”, or indeed when they are veterans/retire from the force…
It’s exactly the same dynamic as anywhere else in the Anglosphere.
“Cope good” except when they’re not.
I don’t think her gender is all that relevant here, tbh…
But I will agree that the media narrative is determined to make it seem somehow relevant.
Elliot Roger also killed guys. Not saying this makes BBC correct, but someone killing both men and women isn't not definitive proof the motivation was not some incel shit.
My favorite part of the Elliot Rodger situation is how the media claimed he was white when he looked like he could be Southeast Asian or Hispanic if you didn't know anything about him, and in fact his mom is SE Asian.
Except in the video he clearly chased men as well.

True. I love how if the perpetrator is trans then their motivation (like audrey hale) is covered up and hidden for years.
But if the perpetrator is a white guy then suddenly the police know exactly why he did it somehow.
Or a Muslim attacking conservative Christians, as has evidently also just happened in Sydney (y'know, that other post)...
Then the cops protect the perp, while victim-blaming and then blaming the community for "rioting" in response...
Insane. Utterly bonkers clown world...
Elliot Roger wasn't an incel despite whining he couldn't get a girlfriend. The real cause for it was "Affluenze" and a bitch stepmom, simping dad.
