Twenty-three people were shot, and one person is dead after a large crowd gathered in a strip mall parking lot southwest of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chicagos-endless-summer-violence-34-shot-8-dead-so-far-this-memorial-day-weekend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago</a> to celebrate Juneteenth over the weekend. 
Authorities said they were monitoring the gathering, which began around 6:00 p.m. Saturday in Willowbrook, Illinois, before an unknown number of suspects opened fire shortly after midnight, ABC 7 <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/willowbrook-shooting-route-83-honeysuckle-rose-lane-news/13397571/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Sheriff’s deputies left the area to respond to a 911 call nearby, but they heard gunshots and immediately returned to the parking lot. 
“It was supposed to be like a Juneteenth celebration; we just started hearing shooting, so we dropped down until they stopped,” witness Markeshia Avery said. “They just kept going. After that, we literally scattered away.”
Many of the victims were shot as they tried to run from the gunfire. Two of the victims are in critical condition, while others sustained “graze wounds,” according to officials. The person killed in the shooting has not yet been identified.  
Bartosz Majerczyk, another witness, told ABC 7 that it appeared that “two different groups of people” were exchanging gunfire.
&#8220;Out of nowhere, there was a major gunfight for like 30 seconds. I&#8217;d say, 60 plus rounds. You could tell it was two different groups of people shooting at each other,” Majerczyk said. 
Shell casings littered the parking lot as authorities remained at the scene until 9:00 a.m. Sunday. The strip mall closed for the day as law enforcement conducted an investigation. DuPage County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Eric Swanson said the motive behind the shooting is still unclear. 
People who live across the street from the scene of the shooting said the strip mall parking lot has attracted large gatherings before.

&#8220;It&#8217;s probably one of these social media things that everyone gets together and balloons into that,&#8221; said Rick Wagner. &#8220;I&#8217;ve talked to the police in [the] past, DuPage County and Burr Ridge, and every time, they said there were going to do something or try to do something about it.&#8221;

Filmmaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/quentin-tarantino">Quentin Tarantino</a> is well known for depicting stylized violence in his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/watch/movies">films</a>, but the Academy Award winner draws the line at killing any living animals while filming, including insects.
“I have a big thing about killing animals in movies. That’s a bridge I can’t cross,” the 60-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">director</a> said during a recent interview with <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/directors/quentin-tarantino-movie-critic-final-1235643087/">Variety</a>. 
“Insects too. Unless I’m paying to see some bizzarro documentary, I’m not paying to see real death. Part of the way that this all works is that it’s all just make believe. That’s why I can stand the violent scenes, cause we’re all just f***ing around.”
“Some animal, some dog, some llama, some fly, some rat, doesn’t give a f*** about your movie,” Tarantino continued. “I’d kill a million rats, but I don’t necessarily want to kill one in a movie or see one killed in a movie, because I’m not paying to see real death.”
“Almost always, it’s not just the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/violence">violence</a> that I have a problem with,” he said. “There’s usually an incompetence factor in there.”
The “Kill Bill” director is frequently questioned about explicit violence in his films. Tarantino famously refused to answer the question following a Channel 4 News interview while promoting the movie “Django Unchained” in 2013.
“Don’t ask me a question like that – I’m not biting. I refuse your question,” he replied when interviewer Krishnan Guru-Murthy asked if he was sure there’s no link between movie violence and real violence. 
“Because I refuse your question. I’m not your slave and you’re not my master. You can’t make me dance to your tune. I’m not a monkey,” he said. 
Tarantino had previously promised to retire by age 60, which would be now.
“I like the idea of giving it my all for 30 years and then saying, ‘OK, that’s enough.’ And I don’t like working to diminishing returns. And I mean, now is a good time because I mean, what even is a motion picture anyway anymore? Is it just something that they show on Apple? That would be diminishing returns,” he told <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/05/quentin-tarantino-retirement-james-bond-tv-cannes-1235379761/">Deadline</a> in May 2023.

“I mean, and I’m not picking on anybody, but apparently for Netflix, Ryan Reynolds has made $50 million on this movie and $50 million on that movie and $50 million on the next movie for them. I don’t know what any of those movies are. I’ve never seen them. Have you?”
Tarantino’s next film, “The Movie Critic,” is currently in the early stages of production.

Two college students and a middle-aged man were stabbed to death on the streets of Nottingham, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-kingdom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a>, early Tuesday morning by a man who then stole a van from one of his victims and plowed into three other people, police said. 
The attacker killed two 19-year-old students near the dorms of the University of Nottingham, around 130 miles north of London. A third person, a man in his 50s, was found dead on a different street, and police said the suspect stole the third victim’s van and ran into three others. Authorities arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of murder. GB News <a href="https://www.gbnews.com/news/nottingham-newslatest-police-city-centre-shut-major-incident" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the suspect is a West African migrant with a history of violence.
“This is a horrific and tragic incident which has claimed the lives of three people,” Chief Constable Kate Meynell said, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nottingham-uk-police-serious-incident-a10e6f7a5a083787f9ea2e8e61e43fa2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Associated Press.
Police believe the suspect acted alone and <a href="https://news.nottinghamshire.police.uk/news/chief-constables-statement-on-city-centre-investigation-468428">said</a> they are keeping an “open mind” while investigating the suspect’s motives, but they have not yet revealed the suspect’s identity any further than revealing his age and sex. A witness <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65893694" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the BBC that he saw a man dressed in black with a hood attack the two college students, a male and a female.  
&#8220;She was screaming &#8216;help!&#8217; I just wish I&#8217;d shouted something out of the window to unnerve the assailant,” said the witness, who remained anonymous. &#8220;I saw him stab the lad first and then the woman. It was repeated stabbing &#8211; four or five times. The lad collapsed in the middle of the road.”
&#8220;The girl stumbled towards a house and didn&#8217;t move,” the witness added. “The next minute she had disappeared down the side of a house, and that&#8217;s where they found her.&#8221;
Around an hour and a half after the stabbing rampage, the suspect drove a white van into a group of people waiting at a bus stop. A man who was among the three hit by the suspect is in critical condition, and the other two hit-and-run victims had minor injuries. Lynn Haggitt told the Associated Press that she was on her way to work when she witnessed the attack and said the suspect accelerated into the pedestrians after seeing a police car approach him from behind. 
“He went straight into them. He didn’t even bother to turn,” Haggitt told reporters. “The woman went on the curb, the man went up in the air, there was such a bang, I wish I never saw it. It’s really shaken me up.”

The University of Nottingham released a <a href="https://twitter.com/UniofNottingham/status/1668637471066796034?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet">statement</a> confirming the deaths of two of its students.
“It is with great sadness that we confirm the sudden and unexpected death of two of our students following a major incident in #Nottingham city centre overnight,” the university said. “We are shocked and devastated by the news and our thoughts are with those affected, their families and friends.”

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-nations">UN</a> Special Rapporteur — a job that entails monitoring, promoting and raising awareness on a particular human right — warned about trans activists who have championed using violence to achieve their ends.
Reem Alsalem, who monitors violence against women and girls globally, defended women who speak out in favor of women-only sports contests, women-only bathrooms, and women-only prisons and warned of harassment or worse from trans activists.
“There is an increasing trend that I have been observing,” Alsalem told <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11995903/The-new-face-extremism-unmasked-Republicans-watching-trantifa.html">The Daily Mail</a>. She urged nations in the West to “ensure that the freedom of speech and thought, including on the issues of sex, gender, and gender identity be protected and upheld.”
A series of recent events have crystallized fear of trans activists turning violent.
In late March, a woman claiming to be a man murdered three 9-year-old children and three adults at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. The woman was armed with three guns including a semi-automatic rifle when she stormed into the school she once attended and opened fire. After the incident, police searched her home and recovered a sawed-off shotgun and a second shotgun.
In April, outspoken 12-time NCAA champion swimmer Riley Gaines was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/did-this-just-say-peaceful-riley-gaines-unloads-on-san-francisco-states-response-to-assault">reportedly assaulted</a> by a group of trans activists at San Francisco State University after she made a speech against allowing female trans athletes to compete in women&#8217;s sports.
TikTok creator Tara Jay, who claims he is a woman,  posted a <a href="https://twitter.com/OliLondonTV/status/1648822913464770561?lang=en">video</a> (later deleted) threatening to use guns against anyone who dared to “stop me from going into the women&#8217;s bathroom,” adding, “It will be the last mistake you ever make.”
Blogger Kayla Denker, a man claiming to be a woman, issued a<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/kayla-denker-militant-transgender-activist-posing-assault-rifle-shooting-gun-1791374"> video</a> in which he reloaded an assault rifle multiple times while staring into the camera.
Warning that the trans activists were aligning with hard-left groups, Julio Rosas, the author of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fiery-But-Mostly-Peaceful-Gaslighting/dp/1956007024">Fiery But Mostly Peaceful</a>,” said, “Trans activists gravitate towards these very far-left groups, because they share their anarcho-communist type ideology. They view the U.S. as systemically racist, that it&#8217;s subjugated queer people, and that states passing laws against child mutilations is part of a trans genocide. And they&#8217;re fighting back.”
Kara Dansky, the president of Women&#8217;s Declaration International in the U.S., was attacked in California when she was protesting against the state’s prison system permitting trans women convicts to be housed in women&#8217;s prisons.
Asserting that the trans activists who attacked her were men, Dansky said, “It&#8217;s inevitable that one or more women who stand up for women&#8217;s sex-based rights is going to be killed. It&#8217;s hard to grasp how normal this is, and how frequently women are on the receiving end of violent threats from men.”

A pack of as many as 40 teenagers attacked three U.S. Marines near a California beach Friday night in a horrific moment caught on <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12138283/Marines-savagely-beaten-40-TEENS-confronting-unruly.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now-viral video</a>.
The Marines were enjoying time off from their service at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside at approximately 10 p.m. along the beach in San Clemente. One of the Marines, Hunter Antonino, said a piece of debris hit him in the face, prompting him to ask the teenagers to stop lighting fireworks.
“They were lighting off fireworks, they were being belligerent and obnoxious and annoying other people, so I went up to them and told them to stop,” he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/wild-video-shows-group-of-teenagers-attacking-pair-of-marines-in-san-clemente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recalled</a>. Antonio said the teenagers then followed the Marines as they returned to the pier, whereupon Antonio and another Marine informed the group that they were Marines so the group would leave them alone.
Instead, the group savagely attacked the Marines. One teen punched a Marine in the back, prompting the Marine to turn and charge at him, sparking the melee. Video shows two of the Marines lying in the fetal position on the ground as the teenagers kicked them and hurled racial epithets at them. The Marines were kicked in the head and upper body.
<iframe loading="lazy" id="molvideoplayer" title="MailOnline Embed Player" src="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/embed/video/2949467.html" width="698" height="573" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Although the Marines were injured, they refused to go to a hospital, according to Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s deputies. Antonio thought he may have suffered a concussion.
“This is considered an assault with a deadly weapon because of the amount of suspects we are investigating,” Orange County Sheriff&#8217;s Department Sgt. Frank Gonzalez <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/wild-video-shows-group-of-teenagers-attacking-pair-of-marines-in-san-clemente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>. “The weapons that were used were their feet while these victims were on the ground. So, regardless if the victims choose prosecution or choose medical attention the sheriff&#8217;s department is going to investigate this to the fullest and try to determine who the suspects are.”
Two cameras on the side of a nearby restaurant may have captured more fully the series of events. According to San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan, the city’s IT staff was working to get the images from the cameras to sheriff’s department investigators.
“This is San Clemente, Marines are always welcome here, always going to be celebrated, always taken care of, and that is why this is so particularly tragic,” Duncan said.

With Memorial Day upon us, summer is unofficially here and that almost certainly means another season of mayhem in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chicago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Windy City</a>.
As of early Sunday morning, there were already 34 individuals shot with eight dead in Chicago over <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-shootings-shooting-breaking-news-today/13311022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Memorial Day Weekend</a>.
The deadly weekend comes as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is rolling out a safety program that includes having more police on the ground — which he&#8217;s accomplished by canceling days off, an increase in peace safety officers on hand to de-escalate situations, and events and programs for Chicago&#8217;s youth.
“It’s going to take all of us, not just the police, not just city government, to ensure that our communities can live and thrive in peace and safety,” Johnson <a href="https://www.wbez.org/stories/mayor-brandon-johnson-unveils-safety-plan-for-memorial-day-weekend/d9eee800-fa61-484f-ba05-d49b1416d49d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> earlier this week. “However you decide to spend your holiday weekend in Chicago, your safety is my top priority.”
Last year, Chicago had its deadliest Memorial Day in half a decade. More than <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-weekend-shootings-at-least-48-shot-8-fatally-in-memorial-day-weekend-gun-violence/2845854/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">50 were shot and nine were killed</a>. Based on those numbers in comparison to this year, it doesn&#8217;t really seem like Johnson&#8217;s having a major impact in curbing crime. The weekend is not over, and Monday&#8217;s Memorial Day events will likely only bring more bloodshed.
Perhaps those inclined to commit such recklessness in Chicago don&#8217;t exactly fear Johnson or his soft-on-crime policies. Readers should keep in mind what happened after one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bedlam-as-hundreds-of-teenagers-inundate-downtown-chicago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">April weekend</a> during which throngs of teenagers rampaged in the streets, jumped on cars, and beat up at least one innocent couple. Johnson effectively dismissed it as youthful shenanigans. He even compared the behavior to his young child jumping down the flight of stairs.
He even told the press that it &#8220;is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.&#8221;
&#8220;Have you ever taught middle school? I have,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://news.grabien.com/story-chicago-mayor-elect-defends-looters-demonizing-children-is-wrong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a>. &#8220;Have you ever raised young people? Do you understand the risk that young people take just because they&#8217;re young? Do you know that home plate is at the bottom of my stairs? I found that out when my son was sliding down those stairs trying to score.&#8221;
He went on to say that youngsters &#8220;make silly decisions! They do. So we have to make sure that we are investing to make sure that young people know that they are supported.&#8221;
Here is part of what those &#8220;silly&#8221; kids were doing:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Johnson&#8217;s solution to this disarray, as well as the near-daily shootings in Chicago, is more government funding for programs often unrelated to the enforcement of the law. He should be doing more to back the police so that they can feel confident they have the support needed and authority to actually enforce the law.
Of course, the real answer to this chaos can&#8217;t just come from government funding or improved policing. He must, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chaos-rules-in-chicago-the-lack-of-two-parent-homes-is-to-blame" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as this author has previously observed</a>, advocate that fathers stay in the home and encourage mothers and fathers to stay together. Fatherlessness in Chicago, especially in the black community, can explain much of the city&#8217;s crime.
Until a true shift toward focusing the family on happens, Chicago will likely have many more deadly summers.

A far-left professor who recently went viral for berating <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-life</a> students was caught on camera holding a machete up to a reporter&#8217;s neck this week, threatening to &#8220;chop&#8221; him up.
A reporter from the New York Post showed up to the home of Hunter College professor Shellyne Rodriguez on Tuesday to ask her questions about her profanity-laced tirade, which was posted to Twitter by Students for Life of America.
“You’re not educating s***. This is f***ing propaganda,” the art professor yelled at the students. “What are you going to do, like, anti-trans next?”
The professor then started throwing the materials that the students had at their booth, claiming that they were &#8220;triggering&#8221; others students.

New York Post reporter Reuven Fenton went to her apartment in the Bronx on Tuesday and was greeted by her holding a large machete.
“Get the f*** away from my door, or I’m gonna chop you up with this machete!” she yelled as she put the machete right up next to his neck. “Get the f*** away from my door! Get the f*** away from my door!”
The reporter and photographer quickly left the building, but were chased moments later when she came outside armed with the machete.

Transgender ideologues are increasingly using aggressive and violent imagery to defend their beliefs against what they perceive as an existential threat.
“Our hearts go out to the trans community, as they are under attack right now,” <a href="https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1641521219768926208" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday, three days after a 28-year-old who identified as transgender gunned down three children and three adults at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee.
Jean-Pierre’s remark came in response to a question about the Kentucky legislature recently overriding the governor’s veto of legislation curbing sex-change surgery for minors and other transgender-related issues. But her comments reflect a widespread belief among LGBT activists and their allies that people who identify as transgender are “under attack” in American society. Some have gone as far as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/legal-experts-proposed-florida-laws-genocide-against-trans-people-2023-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describing</a> the current climate as “genocidal.”
That belief prompted some demonstrators to excuse the actions of the 28-year-old mass shooter, treating her as a victim alongside the six she shot to death at The Covenant School on March 27. At a protest for gun control at the Tennessee State Capitol on Thursday, protesters held up seven fingers in honor of the shooting’s “seven victims.”

Advocates in the transgender movement often claim that the danger faced by transgender-identifying individuals has increased recently, evidenced by a rise in hate crimes.
Crime data fails to support the claim, however. FBI data on hate crimes in 2021 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-stats-on-2021-anti-trans-hate-crimes-dont-support-claims-of-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shows</a> that people who identify as transgender suffered 271 targeted incidents. Of those 271 crimes, two were slayings and two were rapes. Another 135 were either aggravated assault or assault; 59 were robbery, theft, or vandalism; and 70 incidents were acts of “intimidation.”
Jews were targeted far more than transgender-identifying people in 2021. According to FBI data, Jews were the victim of 869 anti-Jewish acts.
Despite the lack of data to support the feeling of being “under attack,” the “genocidal” perception has fueled increasingly aggressive rhetoric and behavior in the transgender movement that’s become evident in its protesting, its propaganda, and its fledgling embrace of firearms.
<h2>Trans Day Of Vengeance</h2>
The Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN), a coalition of activist LGBT groups, planned to host a “Trans Day of Vengeance” protest in Washington, D.C., on Friday. The protest, planned long before the tragedy at The Covenant School, was to be a demonstration to “stop trans genocide,” as a poster for the event described it.
The event, canceled a day before it was set to take place, received heaps of contempt online for its use of “vengeance,” implying punishment or retribution against those who criticize transgenderism. The wording was especially evocative in the wake of The Covenant School shooting.
The protest was canceled due to “a credible threat to life and safety,” TRAN <a href="https://www.transradicalactivistnetwork.org/transdayof-vengeance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a>, denying any suggestion that the “vengeance” of the protest meant violence.
A poster for the protest that featured the “Trans Day of Vengeance” moniker was targeted in a mass ban on Twitter that caught up thousands of accounts, even those of whom denounced the protest as  threatening. A version of the poster can be found online under the account of Our Rights DC, one of TRAN’s partners. The poster appears behind a message that the event is canceled with the word “Vengeance” redacted.

In defending the sweeping Twitter ban, the company’s trust and safety head, Ella Irwin, called the poster an incitement to violence.
“We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. ‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok,” Irwin said.
<h2>“Protect Trans Kids”</h2>
Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (D) said last month during remarks over an executive order on “gender-affirming care” that parents must believe their children when children “tell us who they are.
“When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them,” Flanagan said. “That’s what it means to be a good parent,” she continued to applause from the audience.
As much as Flanagan’s remarks roused criticism, her attire was possibly more threatening. Flanagan wore a <a href="https://cassivalen.com/protect-trans-kids-shirt-1?product=unisex-standard-t-shirt&amp;variant_key=black-s&amp;color=black&amp;size=s&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwz6ShBhCMARIsAH9A0qUkqrEzmvqjkp-kylizBxPZMXH0Zv298MEXr-PV2kJsfeOVJBDk3EwaAlXJEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shirt</a> emblazoned with the slogan “Protect Trans Kids” and images of a knife and a rose.

Numerous other examples of LGBT merchandise and propaganda with overtly threatening messaging can be found in a quick search of online stores. One popular <a href="https://www.etsy.com/search?explicit=1&amp;q=defend+equality+sticker&amp;ref=s2qit&amp;s2qii=1&amp;s2qit=as&amp;prq=defend+equality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">symbol</a> features the pride or trans flag overlaid with a rifle and the slogan “Defend Equality.”

Numerous other images feature knives, firearms, or other weapons alongside some message associated with defending transgender ideology.
<h2>Pink Pistols</h2>
Somewhat rare in Left-wing groups, gun clubs have started popping up for LGBT people. But more than practicing their Second Amendment rights or learning self-defense, people who participate in such groups are motivated by an idea that society is targeting them. The motivation is similar to the idea expressed by Jean-Pierre on Thursday, that people who identify as transgender are “under attack.”
One such group in New Hampshire is called Rainbow Reload. The group is part of a movement of so-called pink pistol groups of LGBT people who own firearms and train together.
“I went from concealed carry every once in a while when I was feeling it to every single day,” a Navy vet and biological male who began identifying as female last year told <a href="https://www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2023-02-23/you-have-to-be-dangerous-back-why-some-lgbtq-people-in-new-hampshire-are-taking-up-arms">NPR</a>. “Because reading the news, having a few experiences, realizing that I&#8217;ve gone from: old cis-male, white, upper middle class, really no real fears about anything, to: there are people that just looking at me will want to hurt me.”
Another person in Rainbow Reload cited the perception of rampant hate as their reason for learning how to handle a gun.
“There’s been an uptick in hate crimes, there’s been an uptick in groups that have been protesting drag story times and drag shows, and it felt like I needed to learn how to protect myself,” a person identified only as Jamie said.
A person named Guardian, who spoke to NPR under a pseudonym, touted a patch saying “Make Racists Afraid Again.”
“I want people to feel safe to be who they are,” he said. “It&#8217;s not a matter of politics. It&#8217;s a matter of whether or not you think certain people should get to live, and be their genuine selves.”

While <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/colleges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">college</a> campuses are obsessing over &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/safe-spaces" target="_blank" rel="noopener">safe spaces</a>&#8221; and diversity, equity, and inclusion, one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/professor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">professor</a> noticed that students are becoming less happy and much angrier.
Mary Gaitskill, a novelist who teaches creative writing courses as a visiting professor at several universities, made the observations in an article for the <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-trials-of-the-young?utm_source=Iterable&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=campaign_6350713_nl_Academe-Today_date_20230309&amp;cid=at&amp;source=&amp;sourceid=&amp;cid2=gen_login_refresh&amp;cid2=gen_login_refresh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chronicle of Higher Education</a>. Gaitskill said that despite constant efforts to make campuses &#8220;safe,&#8221; students in her classes, especially white males, are writing violent and degenerate fantasies, and many students have spent time in mental institutions.
&#8220;Anyone who isn’t living in off-grid isolation is aware of the tireless efforts by hyperconscious campus administrations to create classrooms where everyone feels safe and as few people as possible will be made &#8216;uncomfortable,&#8217; let alone unhappy,&#8221; Gaitskill wrote, citing &#8220;trigger warnings&#8221; and training modules about rape and sexual harassment as examples. The college she wrote about doubled down on these practices: including fewer white male authors on syllabi, more training modules, more anti-racist teacher trainings, and more language rules.
Most people, even those affected by real incidents of hate and discrimination, &#8220;might fairly mock the corrective apparatus&#8221; as &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; or &#8220;dictatorial,&#8221; Gaitskill added. &#8220;The deeper trouble is that it is ineffectual and confusing.&#8221; She pointed to an instance where a white male student used the phrase &#8220;toxic masculinity&#8221; without knowing what it meant; the student told her that he learned it at freshman orientation, and to him &#8220;it meant entitled men treating women badly.&#8221; This student did not take issue with the idea of &#8220;toxic masculinity.&#8221; But &#8220;less confident, less sophisticated young men — those with the most vulnerable self-esteem — might find it disconcerting to be told, no matter how sensitively it was put, that the trait that they have grown up considering desirable, their most basic default identity, is now toxic,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;This does not seem to me a minor side effect.&#8221;
Gaitskill then recounted the stories of several students in her class. One student, Luke, approached her for permission to write a story about violent rape, murder, and necrophilia, in the first person. She rejected the idea because such horrific material would get administration involved, and she didn&#8217;t want that. But moreover, she told the student that it was hard to empathize with such violent individuals. “You’re completely wrong,” the student replied. “They do understand why they do it.” 
That student eventually wrote a story with graphic depictions of self-harm. Another student wrote an account of an attempted suicide that turned out to be autobiographical. In all, four of the eight students in her class wrote about suicide: two wrote about their own suicide attempts; two wrote about friends, one of whom died; one was written by a girl who had known four people in her home town who had attempted or committed suicide, and she was trying to understand them. In all cases, Gaitskill recounted that the stories were filled with despair, either directed at a particular social issue, or simply personal, but &#8220;vivid&#8221; and &#8220;intense.&#8221;
Gaitskill talked with a counselor who had been working with Luke. During their conversation, the counselor said that &#8220;mental-health issues were &#8216;through the roof,&#8217; that a number of students had already been sent home in that calendar year to receive care; in some cases, their parents had to be persuaded to accept them back.&#8221; The counselor also said that mental health had been declining for years. Gaitskill then provided a disturbing email Luke had sent to her. The counselor said the email wasn&#8217;t enough to act on. So Gaitskill offered to forward her the email. The counselor said no, “[b]ecause if I see it, I’ll have to do something.”
Gaitskill concluded that the students feel this way because they are constantly exposed to large-scale social issues, such as mass shootings, climate change, police brutality, disinformation, and others. Instead, they are looking for a sense of safety by fixating on problems they can control, such as offensive words, gender ideology, and toxic masculinity, even though the apparatus built around solving those problems offers no safety. &#8220;The only thing I can say for sure is that the young deserve better,&#8221; she wrote.

The Supreme Court has asked for significant extra funding for police protection in the wake of abortion activists targeting SCOTUS judges because of the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
The Supreme Court submitted its budget request to Congress last week and asked for an increase of $5,897,000 for additional security.
“This request would expand security activities conducted by Supreme Court Police to protect the Justices, SCOTUS <a href="https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/Section%2001a%20Supreme%20Court%20Salaries%20and%20Expenses.pdf#page=18" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. “On-going threat assessments show evolving risks that require continuous protection. Additional funding would provide for contract positions, eventually transitioning to full-time employees, that will augment capabilities of the Supreme Court police force and allow it to accomplish its protective mission.”
In May 2022, POLITICO released a leaked draft opinion for Dobbs v. Jackson that indicated SCOTUS would overturn Roe. The next month, a California man was arrested near the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and charged with attempted murder. The assailant was “upset” by the leaked draft indicating that SCOTUS would overturn Roe, according to an <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/02/roe-v-wade-supreme-court-draft-politico/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affidavit</a>, which said that he “stated that he began thinking about how to give his life a purpose and decided that he would kill the Supreme Court Justice.”
Abortion activists also targeted the homes of Kavanaugh and Justice Amy Coney Barrett for protests. In October Justice Samuel Alito stated, “The leak also made those of us who were thought to be in the majority in support of overruling Roe and [Planned Parenthood v. Casey] targets for assassination, because it gave people a rational reason to think they could prevent that from happening by killing one of us.”
A May 13, 2022, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2022/05/18/supreme-court-abortion-roe-protests-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo obtained by Axios</a> revealed that government officials were investigating threats to the justices, the clerks, places of worship, and abortion clinics.
These threats “are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling,” the memo said.
Just prior to the overturn of Roe in late June 2022, pro-abortion protesters marched in front of Barrett’s home wearing “blood” stained clothing and carrying toy dolls.
“We aren’t incubators! Youth procession delivered baby dolls to Amy Coney Barrett. We aren’t protesting to change the minds of women-hating fascists. We’re calling on the pro-choice majority, on YOU, to get in the streets to STOP <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SCOTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1538263973732163586%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fus%2Fpro-choice-protesters-coney-barrett-home-blood-and-doll-props&amp;src=hashtag_click">#SCOTUS</a> from overturning Roe,” the Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights Twitter account posted along with a video of the protest.

Texas officials strongly advise against taking a trip south of the border for spring break this year, urging Texans to avoid travel to Mexico for the popular travel period and beyond, according to a Friday press <a href="https://www.dps.texas.gov/news/dps-urges-texans-avoid-spring-break-travel-mexico" target="_blank" rel="noopener">release</a> from the Texas Department of Public Safety. 
The Texas authorities warned residents to steer clear of Mexico amid the recent violence in the country. The travel notice comes just after four Americans were recently kidnapped in Mexico, with two ending up dead. 
“Drug cartel violence and other criminal activity represent a significant safety threat to anyone who crosses into Mexico right now,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said. “Based on the volatile nature of cartel activity and the violence we are seeing there; we are urging individuals to avoid travel to Mexico at this time.”
In addition to this warning, federal officials urged any American citizen who doesn’t heed their warning to register with the American embassy or consulate prior to traveling. While the travel advice comes at the beginning of the spring break season, the Texas DPS said the warning applies “beyond” the vacation period as well. 
The United States Department of State travel <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/mexico-travel-advisory.html">advisory</a> on Mexico says, “Violent crime – such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery – is widespread and common” in the country. The department has “Do Not Travel” warnings to six Mexican states – including Tamaulipas, where the four Americans were recently kidnapped. In addition, they warn Americans to “Reconsider Travel” to seven Mexican states and “Exercise Increased Caution” during travel in 17 states. The department says to “Exercise Normal Precautions” in just two states. 
On March 3, four friends from South Carolina crossed the border into Matamoros in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, which borders the southernmost part of Texas. They were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-what-we-know-about-the-situation-involving-four-americans-kidnapped-in-mexico">caught</a> in a drug cartel shootout and forced into the back of a pickup truck at gunpoint. 
Officials in Tamaulipas said that cartel members moved the victims throughout the state after the kidnapping to confuse and evade rescue efforts, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-what-we-know-about-the-situation-involving-four-americans-kidnapped-in-mexico">reported</a>. Two of the Americans – Shaeed Woodard and Zindell Brown – did not survive. 
The State Department travel advisory for Tamaulipas says, “Criminal groups target public and private passenger buses, as well as private automobiles traveling through Tamaulipas, often taking passengers and demanding ransom payments.”
Additionally, three women who traveled from Texas to Montemorelos, Mexico, reportedly to sell goods at a flea market have been missing for roughly two weeks, according to authorities. They crossed into Mexico on February 24, NBC <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/3-women-missing-traveling-texas-mexico-rcna74465">reports</a>. In a statement, the FBI said it cannot comment on the “ongoing investigation” but &#8220;relentlessly pursues all options when it comes to protecting the American people, and this doesn’t change when they are endangered across the border.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> Safety rolled out a new policy Tuesday afternoon to tackle the problem of threats and violence on the platform, saying that the company has a zero-tolerance policy toward the offenses.
&#8220;We’ve made a few changes to our policies around violent content and similar language,&#8221; the company said in a statement. &#8220;Today, we’ve officially launched our Violent Speech policy, which prohibits violent threats, wishes of harm, glorification of violence, and incitement of violence.”
&#8220;Twitter has a zero-tolerance approach towards Violent Speech, and in most cases, we will suspend any account violating this policy,&#8221; the statement added. &#8220;For less severe violations, we may require you to delete the content before you can access your account again.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The company&#8217;s new policy explicitly states that users are not allowed to &#8220;threaten to inflict physical harm on others, which includes (but is not limited to) threatening to kill, torture, sexually assault, or otherwise hurt someone.&#8221;
&#8220;This also includes threatening to damage civilian homes and shelters, or infrastructure that is essential to daily, civic, or business activities,&#8221; the new policy stated.
The policy also states that users are not allowed to &#8220;wish, hope, or express desire for harm,&#8221; which includes and is not limited to, &#8220;hoping for others to die, suffer illnesses, tragic incidents, or experience other physically harmful consequences.&#8221;
&#8220;You may not incite, promote, or encourage others to commit acts of violence or harm, which includes (but is not limited to) encouraging others to hurt themselves or inciting others to commit atrocity crimes including crimes against humanity, war crimes or genocide,&#8221; the policy stated. &#8220;This also includes using coded language (often referred to as &#8216;dog whistles&#8217;) to indirectly incite violence.&#8221;
The policy also prohibits users from glorifying, praising, and celebrating acts of violence, praising violent entities, and perpetrators who commit crimes.

The company said that it believes in free speech, including allowing &#8220;expressions of violent speech when there is no clear abusive or violent context, such as (but not limited to) hyperbolic and consensual speech between friends, or during discussion of video games and sporting events.&#8221;
&#8220;We also allow certain cases of figures of speech, satire, or artistic expression when the context is expressing a viewpoint rather than instigating actionable violence or harm,&#8221; the policy states. &#8220;We make sure to evaluate and understand the context behind the conversation before taking action.&#8221;
If users violate the policy, they will in most cases be permanently suspended or, in less severe cases, they will be temporarily locked out of their accounts and the content removed before they can tweet again.
