MIRANDA DEVINE--DEADLY MINNESOTA SCHOOL SHOOTING REFLECTS TRAGIC COST OF A DISORDERED SOCIETY--INCLUDING DEM LEADERS WHO LOST THE PLOT

If ever there were an example of the perils of the Democrat approach to crime and social disorder, it is Minneapolis, ground zero of the George Floyd/defund-the-police movement that roiled the country five years ago, and a “sanctuary transgender state.”

The deadly mass shooting of small children at Mass at Annunciation Catholic School Wednesday brings home the tragic cost of a disordered society, where evil rampages unchecked and those who would protect the vulnerable are handcuffed and pushed away.

It’s too early to say exactly how, or even if, the tragedy could have been prevented. Yet Minnesota Democrats already have reached for their lazy gun-control mantra, in a state that has among the strictest gun laws in the country.

Of course, they remain silent about the anti-Christian radical gender ideology that appears to have driven the latest spate of school shootings, from the murders at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn., in November 2023, and at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis., in December 2024, to Wednesday’s rampage.

At least we now have an FBI that tells the truth about the motivating hatreds so that we can try to understand the pathology and stop its spread.
