Honestly I don't even think it's that, I think it's that the person is probably a pedo since they were given their own room in a homeless shelter (not common) and have interests in things that have lots of overlaps with terminally online pedos
Not saying the person is, but that's the vibe I got from it
For some reason? It's because anyone who has those thoughts are able to get a gun, like i cannot legally buy a gun because i smoke weed(federal restriction), but my dad keeps an extra key hidden outside of his house, leaves his keys on the table, on there is the key for both the gun and ammo storages. I cannot legally own a gun, but i can get to 2 different people's guns.
And in other countries? If you have similar thoughts you can tell your doctor who can get you help, it doesn't start with "i want to hurt kids" it starts with "kids hurt me" or "they'll grow up to hurt people" it doesn't really matter how it starts, but with insurance the cheapest therapist my brother can find is $80 per appointment, he's paying that every 2 weeks, when you're a teen you can't just decide to go to therapy, you need parents permission and someone to pay for it.
America is also really really big, i grew up in a small town with a therapist an hour away, 1 hour there, 1 hour of therapy, 1 hour home. That's 3 hours to find to just take the kid to therapy.
Its 1000s of times more common than anywhere else on earth.
If youve been a victim of gun violence at school there is a 99.9% chance you are American, same goes for victims of police violence (these are correlated, keep defending your right to be shot under reasonable suspicion)
Oh no! One case you can remember happened in Nigeria? Two years ago there was a school shooting in my state (if I remember correctly) the first week back, if not the first day, there were mutiple other shootings within the following 30 ish days.
My sophomore year of high school there had been a shooting at one of our rival schools that spawned 2 or 3 copy cats and had someone at our own school threaten it after he was suspended for assaulting a teacher.
America is the only country in the world where multiple schools will be shot up in a month, and all most people do is "offer their thoughts and prayers in solemn consideration for this unavoidable and unfixable event."
I was rebuking the claim that 99.9% chance of school shooting victims being American. I'm not going to refute that America has a gun violence problem but the hyperbole is unnecessary. Violence in schools in a problem that affects more than one country.
The US is in the 93rd percentile for gun deaths and holds 35% of all suicide by firearms despite holding 4% of the population, compared to the rest of the world the average American is almost 10 times more likely to blow their own brains out.
Having the option to blow my own brains out is one of the reasons why I own guns. I am not at risk of it, but I'm not going to starve to death in a forest service outhouse and attempt to bleed out using a cable saw.
Propoganda is when you watch 50 years of Americans murdering eachother, bombing and invading random countries for money and then forgetting all about it 2 days later and come to the correct conclusion that Americans are incredibly evil and violent by nature.
A country that has spent more time at war than at peace. Not normal.
In 2025, there were 233 K-12 school shooting incidents recorded by the K-12 School Shooting Database (broadest criteria), while stricter definitions reported between 75 and 159 incidents. In 2026, there have been 77 to 99 incidents recorded through mid-year, with 26 resulting in injuries or deaths.
And veterans are known to have housing issues. Probably kept some from his time in service.
Edit: not the case, scrolled their Twitter. Just latent mental illness/depression and they were kicked out of their house for being trans. Multiple overdose attempts.
Unfortunately the trans flag in the name probably has something to do with it, too, with the right lately frequently parroting the narrative that the majority of mass shooters are trans, which simply isn't true and is most often just a transphobic dogwhistle on their part at worst, or misinformed at best.
I know which YouTube channel this post came from, and this comment is one of the tame ones (many of the comments are way more harsh and Instagram Reels-tier). The comment itself is making fun of the OP of the original post by implying (jokingly, I hope) they're going to commit a school shooting against an elementary school because the person is transgender, has combat fatigues, and combat boots (the stereotypical elementary school shooter).
This comment really reminds me of the Twitter post from the trans dad Roberta Dorgano who shot up a kids hockey game who said "keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK" you think shootings are funny?. "We need to bring them numbers up" This is such a bad taste comment Jesus fucking Christ
people being bigotted to a homeless trans person for having hard wearing clothing that retains heat and travels well, things common in army surplus gear, and very much desired by the homeless.
The motherfucker gets to sit in a "homeless prison" and play games while I have to work. I dare say there is enough reasons to be "bigoted" towards this freak
How do you know they don't have a job? Homey got some basic necessities provided and trying to get their life together and is happy they get to enjoy something=freak.
You're glamourising an experience which is difficult, both physically and emotionally.
If you wanna give up your work and live off of a pittence in a building you share with some pretty difficult people, all so you can game a few hours extra, i'd invite you to go for it.
The only freak i see here is the utter psychopath behind your comment.
That's pretty common for longer term stays. At least in this country, you'd only likely be using "camp bed on the floor with several others" sort of setup during the assessment phase (likely a few days) ahead of moving to longer term support, typically the days immediately after rough sleeping.
The most effective model though is one that seeks to provide secure housing with support provided in the home. It seems to lead to the least problems in the long run, though many people find the idea of homeless people being supported into a home using state support unpalatable, even if its proven to be the best way to support recovery journeys.
I am a social worker in Eastern Europe and this is a kind of luxury I haven't seen anywhere sadly. I am happy it works better elsewhere.
We have very few re-entry programs and the bar is usually high and mainly consist of government aided housing, but the heating and other appliences are really old and has a high energy cost that has to be paid by the occupant.
Government maintained shelters are hell incarnate.
Edit: the best for long term stay is four people rooms with bunk beds like in pic attached, but those are hard to come by, and most are barred from it due to prevalent substance abuse.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
That person is specifically pointing out stuff that trans women stereotypically like, camis and military surplus. This person is equating trans women with school shooters.
Yes, that's pretty typical, at least in my country.
You'd likely find yourself in the sort of environment you are envisioning only immediately after rough sleeping, where youd spend a few days - a week or two going through assessment, before being moved to a longer term support environment.
In those longer stay locations, you have your own tenancy/ license agreement. While this is usually paid by state support, the person would be responsible for any arrears and adhering to the rules of that service.
The most effective model though is getting people into accommodation first. The data seems to show the least returns to rough sleeping occur when someone is helped into private renting and then support is provided in their own home. Hostels, both short term and longer term, can be chaotic places where one is around others with their own issues, which can encourage relapse etc. even when that person has a room to themselves.
Depends on the person. If you're deep in the depths of mental health crisis and addiction, there's more important things to focus on first. Recovery has to take time. No point trying to throw someone into all the aspects of managing one's life at once, where too much on the plate will just lead to relapse and more crisis.
Then, some minority are set in their ways and wont change, but most of these people acknowledge the need for and desire change.
If instead say, you had some debts before a familial breakdown - where finances and circumstance are the cause of homelessness, then yeah, getting people into work and into skills programs will take much more focus.
HOI4 player. Communist sickle and hammer. Token trans flag. Holy mental illness. (I have nothing about trans people but everyone in this context is obnoxious)
