CNN: Trump Shouldn't Call Psychopathic School Shooter a "Sicko" Because It's "Stigmatizing" to Psychopathic School Shooters

CNN is pretty determined that there is only one issue we'll be discussing here, and that is confiscating Americans' guns, and we will not be permitted to discuss mental health or keeping "sickos" from getting guns.

What a joke.

CNN goes so far as to accuse Trump of basically using the n-word.

From CNN:

"How helpful is calling a black person the n-word? Not only is it disrespectful, it fans racism," said Pat Corrigan, a distinguished professor of psychology at the Illinois Institute of Technology who manages the National Consortium on Stigma and Empowerment.

As you know, even though a lot of people called this sicko a psycho, and told the cops and FBI about it, they didn't do anything about it:

On the day after Thanksgiving, Cruz was at work at a Dollar Tree store. Rocxanne Deschamps’ son, Rock, 22, called 911 to report that an "adopted 19-year-old son" had possibly hidden a "gun in the backyard," according to a dispatcher’s notes. Rock Deschamps told law enforcement "there were no weapons allowed in the household"” the report said. It's unclear from the record whether sheriff's deputies conducted a search. The incident was classified as "domestic unfounded," which means a deputy didn't find proof to back up the claims.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office was called again to the home four days later, when Rock said Cruz lashed out against the family that took him in, according to the Palm Beach deputy’s report and dispatcher notes. The deputy went to a local park and found Cruz, who explained that he had misplaced a photo of his recently deceased mother and, emotionally distraught, began punching the wall...

Rock interrupted Cruz and a fight broke out between them, according to the documents. Cruz left the home, and Rocxanne Deschamps called 911. She warned the police dispatcher that Cruz said "he was going to get his gun and come back," records show. She said Cruz had "bought a gun from Dick's last week and is now going to pick it up."

Rocxanne Deschamps told the dispatcher that Cruz had "bought tons of ammo" and "has used a gun against ppl before," the notes said. "He has put the gun to others heads in the past."

Now, what would have happened if the FBI investigated his YouTube threat to become a "professional school shooter" slightly more than not at all and combined this information with the constant stream of hair-raising reports on this little psychopath?

Maybe sometimes you have to use clear language like "sicko" to let bureaucrats know that if they don't act, something important is on the line: their jobs.
