Sadly, a mass shooting in Philadelphia has shattered the mainstream media narrative that the biggest national security problem is “white supremacy.”
Kimbrady Carriker, 40, of Philadelphia, was charged with murder Wednesday after a shooting that left five dead and two wounded in the city. The Philadelphia Police Department has filed a slew of charges against Carriker, including five counts each of murder and attempted murder, among others.
Carriker is a well-known BLM advocate and transvestite, as a March 2022 Facebook account depicted him as a transvestite, decked out in a bra, hoop earrings, and gold bracelets.
According to police, Carriker opened fire “indiscriminately” on people and vehicles in the Kingsessing neighborhood around 8.30pm on Monday. Equipped with an AR-style rifle, a handgun, a bulletproof vest and magazines, Carriker resides a block away from where the first death was discovered.
In addition to the murder charges, Carriker faces charges of endangerment, assault and unlawful possession of a firearm. A public defender was scheduled to represent him, and an initial court hearing is scheduled for July 24. The Philadelphia Public Defenders Association declined to comment.
Records show that in 2003, Carriker was found guilty of possessing a firearm without a permit. District Attorney Larry Krasner stated that the shooting appeared to be a “planned and deliberate act of random murder” and that the perpetrator appeared to have no known ties to the victims.
Upon responding to the shooting, police found several people injured, while additional gunshots were heard. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw mentioned that officers pursued the shooter amid the ongoing gunfire and discovered about 50 shell casings at the crime scene.
The victims included four adult men and a teenager, with two other children aged 2 and 13 injured but stable. Two other people were injured by broken glass. This incident caused widespread grief in the predominantly black community and prompted calls for action against gun violence.
The mass shooting over the Fourth of July weekend is another incident that raises concerns about political violence related to the LGBTQ and transgender communities. In April, a transgender assailant named Audrey Hale perpetrated a mass shooting at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee that left six victims dead.
Hale left behind a manifesto, which authorities refused to release to the public. According to the police, this document revealed that she meticulously planned to carry out the attack, a plan that lasted several months. The FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit stated that the manifesto is under investigation and that Hale’s motive is currently unknown.
FBI statistics show definitively that black men commit a disproportionate number of homicides in the United States. The non-Hispanic white demographic alone commits about half as many homicides as the black population, despite outnumbering them by more than three to one.
