I’m looking for books with a relationship similar to Ada and Leon’s from the resident evil franchise. All recommendations are appreciated

A channel called Inquietum Corda posted a video 3 months ago claiming the Gospels were not anonymous. He backs this claim by showing how early Church Fathers were in agreement over who wrote the Gospels while how the Book of Hebrews was not in agreement. Also he links several early Gospel manuscripts which show how all were in agreement over who wrote the Gospels. I'll copy and paste a TLDR from the Christianity subreddit
Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZbgW_0ELnk
"TLDR : Every manuscript of the New testament that we have (with the relevant page surviving) is titled with the specific gospel author named. Not a single manuscript that we have is anonymous. Each Greek, Latin or Coptic (And Syriac according to one article I was using) manuscript from the earliest we have (2nd century) says something akin to "Euaggelion Kata (Author)" - "The Gospel according to (Author). Not one manuscript indicates any of them were anonymous, and not one of them disagrees with the traditional attribution of the Gospels.
Ancient sources are unanimous in attributing the four gospels to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Papias is the first to make a claim, he wrote some time from 90-110 AD, but was also someone who was alive during the lifetime of the apostles. He attributes Mark and Matthew's Gospels. Irenaeus (180AD), who was a student of Polycarp, a student of the apostle John attributes all four gospels to the respective authors.
There are many other ancient sources listed, from different times and across vastly different geographical areas and each of them all unanimously agree the gospels were written by the four authors.
The letter to the Hebrews is one we can say for sure was anonymous because 1) The manuscripts do not mention authorship and 2) there is disagreement amongst ancient writers on who wrote it. Different traditions emerged, with some saying Paul wrote it, others Clement, Barnabas etc. Origen simply shrugs and says "only God knows". It is extremely implausible, that anonymous gospels, being given a false attribution much later on could have gotten universal attribution across different geographical areas, as if a copyist in Egypt decided to attach Matthew's name to a Gospel, a counterpart in Rome would have no way of knowing and no reason to trust when he was used to only seeing anonymous texts.
This anonymous gospel claim is unsupported by any evidence. Writings like 1 Clement (70ad) support this, reporting of the specific apostles who preached the Gospel to Rome - Peter and Paul having been recently martyred, to which many in the Roman church that originated this letter would have been living witnesses to. 1 Clement shows that the teachings of Jesus including his resurrection were not part of a "Telephone Game", as it was the specific eye-witnesses who spread the message.
The theory also doesn't make sense. If someone was going to attribute anonymous gospels to followers of Jesus to give them legitimacy, why on earth would they choose Mark or Luke? Neither were eye-witnesses. Mark was a follower of Peter and Luke of Paul. Why choose Matthew? if not for his Gospel he would be one of the least noteworthy apostles. The only other thing we learn about him from the new testament was that he was a tax collector. We see with the later gnostic gospels that those who chose to invent a connection tended to choose figures that had far more presence in the gospel narrative. Falsely attributing the Gospels to Matthew, and especially Mark and Luke does not make sense. Besides, as soon as more than one gospel was circulating it would have been necessary for them to have titles in order to distinguish them."
This is not me writing though. This is from another post. Link here https://www.reddit.com/Christianity/comments/zws5pg/the_gospels_were_not_anonymous/
What do academic Biblical scholars think? Is the video true or false?

A one-shot. Vote (the pointy thing upwards) and enjoy!
--------------------
The Xeno looked like he should be sitting on a Cathedral somewhere pissing rain down on the tourists. He also wouldn’t shut up
“I told you, I’m not a fucking engineer, pilot, Superman or whatever other weird ideas you have about humans. I’m a Xeno Paleoarchelogist and I’m wearing the wrong pants for a pirate attack. My grant doesn’t cover it and neither does my health insurance.”
The crests on his annoying companion raised in surprise, “Well I have no idea what that means but it must be useful! I have better pants that you may borrow if that would help?”
Warren held on to his chair tightly as another explosion rattled his teeth. Twenty minutes ago he had been enjoying the peace of a dull commute with a good book. Now he was in serious shit with nothing but whatever the Xeno equivalent of a nerd was. He should have known from the way the guy had lit up like it was his fucking birthday on sitting beside a ‘real’ human on his trip into the dark.
When the shaking calmed down he looked at his unlikely companion, “I study history, your history, everyone's history and see what matches up with ours. In particular, I study the utilisation of fire in prehistory as an indicator of future galactic development.”
He might as well have been speaking in pig-Latin and asking for a donation for the rebuilding of Pompei for all the Xeno seemed to understand.
The Xeno seemed to be considering something and then spoke in a sudden burst as if he was afraid the universe might interrupt him, “I am Ni’urn, Senior-Second Programmer of the Third-Shift of Numbers of Importance and I also study. I study combinations of numbers and I recommend the best ones. I cannot be captured by pirates! My department would be horrified!”
This was the problem with dumb translations since Warren heard ‘office geek that lived in a basement’ when he was actually being told, “I am the Second in Command of the third sector of our planet's military: space. I study patterns of warfare within the galaxy and our local space and recommend countermeasures to deal with foreseen problems. My death or capture will result in confusion and possible overreaction by our military.”
What Ni’urn heard from his new human companion was, “I am a human specialist responsible for fire and I am without my equipment.”
The obvious solution was to find some way for the human to utilise his skills in fire, a most useful thing in a battle with pirates.
Ni’urn ran the numbers in his head, “We are on a civilian ship from the In’Tec people. They make poor ships but cheap. Since your people stopped their previous activities I must think that they are unfamiliar with important things like escape pods since we have not been offered one. My projections indicate that this ship was probably refitted from a pirate vessel. Do you concur?”
Warren looked around at the slightly squashed cabin and took a wild guess, “Sure, why not? If these guys were pirates then either they are still working with them or they might have held onto some of the systems they used to use. No one gives up firepower if they can help it. I’m not sure how that helps us!”
Ni’urn added that to his numbers, “I concur. It is a most useful insight. We have just under eighteen minutes before the ship either surrenders to slavers and thieves or fails completely and explodes so I propose we seek to take immediate control of the vessel. I have sufficient understanding to undertake to pilot the vessel and you will be responsible for finding and using the weapons you believe they have concealed. Do you concur?”
Warren was still struggling with the ‘Eighteen minutes until we die’ when the Xeno grabbed him and pushed him forward towards the door. He thought the creature had been driven mad with fear and decided to chance it on his own. The Xeno had babbled something about Escape Pods so he pulled open the door and began running. He no longer cared where he was running to but he was damned sure of what he was running away from.
He was nearly back to rational thought when someone suddenly appeared in front of him and raised a weapon towards his face. Warren needed those brown pants really badly but he was moving too fast to stop so he tried to drop his head, just as the much-abused ship's systems flickered and the gravity went offline for a second.
To Ni’urn it appeared as if the human had sprinted at unbelievable speed from the cabin and when one of the pirates had dropped his camouflage to shoot him he had simply lowered his head and charged his assailant. He watched the pirate shatter as the human seemed to fly into him, its weapon thrown wildly and his armour crushed against the corridor wall. He hurried to catch up.
Warren took the blow to his head badly and felt blood begin to trickle into his eyes. Without thinking he pushed the blood away and leaned down to the Xeno he had crashed into. Shit. He couldn’t help him and didn’t particularly care but he thought he should not leave the creature with a weapon. He himself had never used one and had no idea of how the thing worked but maybe he could give it to someone in authority. Later. He began running again with the gun forgotten in his hand as the blood and pain narrowed his eyes. How fucking big was this ship anyway? The escape pods must be near the pilot, it made no sense otherwise.
‘Remarkable’ Ni’urn said to the dead pirate. “I have heard the human expression that you never know what will hit you but I didn’t realise it was literal.” He stepped over the corpse and followed his fire human.
The problem with running around like headless poultry is that it always ends badly for someone. Warren was finding that out the hard way as he found himself with a bleeding head, a raging headache and absolutely no idea of where he was on the ship. On the upside, no one seemed to be shooting at him or the ship. He stopped for breath and began to calm down and then he heard the footsteps. Someone was coming.
Ni’urn was growing more and more curious as his human friend threw himself forward into the maze of corridors without pause. If he was willing to entertain the thought he would have said the route that he was taking was…unusual, but it had evaded all the crew and pirates and he had brought them safely to the bridge. He had followed the thumping feet as they echoed down the shaky corridors and until then heard them falter and stop. Good, he had not been forgotten and his ally was obviously waiting for him to catch up.
He reflected that perhaps they hadn’t avoided anyone but that any enemy hearing the thumping human's arrival, seeing it covered in its lurid red blood and casually holding a weapon had simply gotten quickly out of the way.

On the bridge of the unfortunate ship the Beautiful Bounty there were two very unhappy Captains. One of them was dressed slightly less formally than the other but they could not be mistaken for anything other than family, bickering in front of some heavily armed men, “I told you we had a human and a high-value target. The human is some academic, not a warrior, just a teacher. He’s not important. We need the local, the Command Staff guy. He’s the one making all the plans around here.”
The In’tec pirate laughed, “Really? Because I can see the same cameras that you can and the human has already slaughtered one of mine in cold blood, stolen his gun and is now tearing through the ship looking for the rest of us. He’s probably going to be outside the door in a few minutes. I’m done. I’m not fighting a human again. You weren’t there. Even if I kill him the rest of his kind will come looking for me and they never fucking stop! You do whatever the fuck you want but me and my men are out of here.”
The Captain of the Beautiful Bounty seemed to shrink, “But I…I turned off the defences to do this. I’m screwed. I’ll spend years in a penal colony when they read the incident report. The local guy is really important...I’m fucked.” He seemed to realise that he had thrown his entire life into the toilet for nothing. If the pirates wouldn’t fight, his crew definitely wouldn’t and he didn’t want to face the creature alone. He looked at the vid as the crazed and bloodied creature ran towards the bridge, towards him.
The whole room heard and felt someone - something- run heavily towards the door and then stop. Then silence.
The In’tec pirate shook himself, “Fine, you can come with us. Now.” He turned to the bridge staff and his own men, “Move or you stay to deal with that fucking mad species.”
He didn’t waste any more words, running to his breaching craft that was currently embedded in the bridge and followed by every crewman on the bridge. It was a well-practised manoeuvre for most of them and it took less than a minute for them all to pile through the joining fields.
----------
Warren groaned when the annoying Xeno suddenly reappeared. He had tried to figure out the weapon but it wasn't made for humans, it was some weird thing that you obviously needed the correct training to use. He still held it in case he needed to hit something but then he wiped some more dried blood out of his eyebrows and finally realised he had been an idiot to the innocent Xeno, “Good to see you again. I’m afraid the ‘fight or flight ‘ instinct is strong in my people but I shouldn’t have behaved so poorly. Since we are both still here I assume the pirates are boarding? Do you have any suggestions? Are you uninjured?”
Ni’urn was pleased to see the human was alert and capable of intelligent questions.
What he understood was that his ally was pleased with his survival and looking for his understanding and preferred countermeasures. An admirable trait that was so rare in warriors. It still looked like a horror but that's aliens for you.
“I believe this is the correct door. I estimate that we will succeed if you enter first. When you have subdued the bridge I will then take control of the navigation and bring us to safety. You must find fire control and prepare to disable the pirate ship. They should not be permitted to rampage in the system or seek revenge against us.”
The human seemed to consider it for a moment and then handed him the weapon. Of course, he was probably feeling protective. This was a trait he had read about in his Intel reports of the species. They must be bonded in the humans mind. Well, that was slightly embarrassing.
Warren looked at the gun and gave up. He handed it to the Xeno, maybe he had seen them in the movies or done basic training. From what the nerd said they needed to take the bridge and then find the weapons before the pirates blew the ship up to cover their tracks. Another deadline. “Alright, you wave that thing around and let me take a swipe at anyone still standing. We are both going to die.”
Ni’urn assumed that that was some warrior's creed and tried to respond, “Indeed, but not today.” He pointed at one of the doors leading off from the corridor, “That is where we must go. I will open it and you will act. I shall endeavour to cover you with the gun but it is not recommended for use on a ship and would probably destroy vital systems should I try. I shall, as you suggest, ‘wave it about’.”
All Warren heard was that the Xeno didn’t know how to shoot and the door was right in front of him. His plan to run into the pointy-end had been correct it seemed. He just nodded and pushed hard on the door.
Ni’urn was surprised when it shifted easily under the human's hand. Breaching the bridge was always notoriously difficult but the human didn’t even slow down.
Warren figured the various fire and damage alarms currently ringing through the ship had opened every lock, especially on a civilian ship that carried his people. Any engineer he had ever met would have melted it down for ballast if it didn’t. He opened the door to an empty room.
“Well, that was easier than I expected. Go do your thing and I’ll see what they have to play with.”
He couldn’t believe it, he wasn’t going to get shot. Whatever the pirates wanted they had taken and left. He was just a bystander but what the fuck… he watched the Xeno move with the fussy authority of someone that spends their days at this kind of shit. The guy seemed to grow a foot taller when he began programming or piloting or whatever the hell he was doing.
He found a panel on the Captain's console. It looked like it had been nailed on and it was definitely not supposed to be there. It had a big red button and a sign that read ‘Emergency’ in several languages but most of them were incorrectly spelled, something that always annoyed him. He hit the button and nothing happened. Surprise. Thirty seconds later he had pried it off to find a small screen and six buttons, four with arrows, one kind of beige and one red.
He hit the beige one and the screen seemed to flicker until another ship appeared. The pirate? There was no one else for a dozen light-years. It even came with crosshairs that suddenly turned green when it thought it was pointing at the right thing.
Revenge. His or theirs..who would ever know? He didn’t but he hit the red button anyway.
-----
Ni’urn was struggling with the debriefing. “It is as I have told you: once I had informed the human of our predicament he acted immediately, killing the first pirate we encountered and seizing its weapon. It then evaded all opposition until it reached the bridge and waited for my instruction. Once we had breached the bridge he sought out the hidden weapons system and annihilated the pirate ship. I piloted us into safe space and he immediately disembarked and left for Earth space. I do not understand why you are having issues with this. It is plainly visible on the recovered files and I have no reason to lie about the event. I was hardly heroic, I took no part except the piloting of the ship once we were safe.”
The supervisor looked sympathetic, “You are aware of their XCC? Their central authority for any…events that take place outside their space. They report that the human, the one that you refer to as Warren, has no memory of any such details. Apparently, a Xeno ‘that was good with numbers’ looked after the whole thing. He has refused the bounty on the pirate ship and the salvage of the Beautiful Bounty.”
Ni’urn didn’t have anything left to add, but he could read these numbers.
The supervisor continued, “The XCC has sent us the documentation signing any and all such claims to you. If the vast amount of money wasn’t enough, the humans have also offered you free transport and employment should you choose to move to their space. You cannot work in intelligence for us when a foreign power is taking such a close interest in you.”
The supervisor stood up and Ni’urn shakily followed, “It is the opinion of this commission that you will be transferred into Xeno relations and provided with a rebuilt Beautiful Bounty as your ship. Your Captain papers and license have been issued along with the bounty on the pirates. Your ship will remain in the control of our fleet until your retirement and then will pass to you. Congratulations, Captain Ni’urn.”

A couple of years ago, one of my closest friends was going through a real difficult period in her life. She just found out she was pregnant with her 3rd child and her husband abandoned her. To make a long story short. She needed help. She needed transportation. I put, about 2 grand for a down-payment on a car and let her pay the rest to help her out. Here we are, she never missed a payment, always paid on time, and the car is fully paid off. I have title in hand. I don't know how to handle the next steps. I don't want to pay taxes for a car I'm giving her, since I'm not actually being paid for it(im 2grand down since i paid for the down payment and dont want her to pay me back for that). I have been told the car needs the be reported as a gift. But different people tell me different things. I've been told i need to tell Fairfax County(where I live) i no longer possess the car, some have told me to tell Loudoun County(where she lives) i sold thecar in a specific amount. Some have told me I need to have a sales receipt notarized. Some have told me to make sure she gives me the license plates as they are my property and I need to return them to DMV... could someone please help me out on what I need to do

They basically just told us that Plan shares are all with Cede & Co. Why else change the language?
Clearly, telling us the amount held with ComputerShare was still leaving some with doubt, or giving enough room for bad actors to argue that Book and Plan are the same, that the "all-powerful" hedgefunds can make millions of shares appear and disappear from DRS reports at will, or that buys have slowed to a trickle.
By telling us the amount held by "holders of record" and the amount held by Cede & Co, which add up to the total amount of issued shares, one must conclude that the number not held by Cede & Co are DRS book-entry ONLY, as we know, for a fact, that Cede & Co DO hold "a small portion of the aggregate number of DSPP shares." Otherwise, if plan shares were considered held by "holders of record" and Cede & Co have "a small portion" of those, the numbers would exceed the total. They cannot both be held directly in your name and still be at Cede.
This is why they cannot reference the amount held by Cede and the amount of TOTAL shares at ComputerShare. We would easily be able to see the discrepancy, and know, without any question, that either Plan are definitely not DRS, or that they are, and Cede has more certificates than mathematically possible.
I don't think we're at the point of Cede & Co having a mathematically impossible amount of certificates on their books yet, so the likely scenario is that Plan are NOT DRS and ALL Plan shares are still with Cede.
I personally do think that buying has slowed. It's only natural. People are struggling and some of us have had to limit our purchases. I know I'm one of them. And that's okay. Assuming that is true, then I believe the increase that we saw between Q3 and Q4 is largely attributable to the shares that were converted from Plan to Book. That's a significant gain from simply switching the designation of shares that were already owned. It cost us nothing to do. Think of how many more "free" shares are out there that we could gain!
I'm not a smart man, so I could be wrong. But this is the opinion of TheBookKingFucks69 🤷‍♂️

From WUSA9 (video at link):

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — Police have arrested two teenagers they say carjacked a person before realizing they couldn't drive the car due to it having a manual transmission.
According to a release from the Montgomery County Department of Police (MCPD), the 16-year-old juvenile from Rockville and a 17-year-old juvenile from Washington, D.C. have been arrested and charged for the strong-arm carjacking in Germantown on Saturday.
Officers were called to a Sunoco Gas Station in the 19200 block of Frederick Road just after 4:30 p.m. When they arrived, officers learned the driver, only identified as a man, got into his car when he noticed two teens running towards him.
When the teens got to the car, they reportedly forced open the door and grabbed the man while demanding he hand over his keys.
The victim complied and got out of the car after handing over his car keys.
Police say the two teens got into the car but realized they could not drive away after noticing the car had a manual transmission. The pair then jumped out of the car and ran.

The Minneapolis DFL Party has disqualified hundreds of delegates in a City Council race over concerns that their identities could not be verified.
Meanwhile, a candidate in a different council race is raising similar allegations, drawing scrutiny to the party's endorsing process, which is largely virtual this year.
What's at stake in both races is the official endorsement of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in a city electorate dominated by it. Both controversies have arisen over a stage in that endorsing process: candidates assembling delegates to vote for them at ward conventions that play a crucial role in the hoped-for endorsement.
Fifth Ward delegates tossed
On Monday night, the executive committee of the Minneapolis DFL decided to refuse to accept 358 delegates for Victor Martinez, who is challenging Council Member Jeremiah Ellison in the Fifth Ward.
That's a substantial number; Martinez's total delegate count was either 514 (the number the party said he submitted) or 468 (the number Martinez maintains is accurate after duplicated records are removed). Ellison has amassed 137 delegates. Forty-two additional delegates are undecided.
Martinez's delegate names, address and contact information were entered digitally by Martinez or officials with his campaign, according to both Martinez and the party. That's allowed, but party officials said when that's done they need the original paper form, filled out by the delegate, that includes their signature.
When the party requested that from Martinez, he told them he didn't have the original paper forms because he had thrown them out.
That was no good, party officials concluded.
"To maintain the integrity of the process, we need to hold all campaigns to the same standards and not give special treatment to any candidate or their delegates," Minneapolis party Chair Briana Rose Lee said Tuesday. The committee's action was first reported by the Minnesota Reformer.
Martinez said he didn't understand that the original paper forms were needed.
Why did he throw them out?
"I don't know," he said Tuesday. "I didn't think about it at all. ... It was a dumb mistake — that I'm never going to make again."
Martinez maintained every disallowed delegate is a real person who lives in his ward and signed up to be a delegate for him.
He said the party's action will disenfranchise his supporters, some of whom are immigrants and not eligible to vote — but who are eligible to serve as delegates under the DFL's permissive rules and inclusive philosophy.
He said he plans to appeal Monday's decision, a move that could bring in the state party, which generally prefers to stay out of local controversies.
Ellison said he supports what happened Monday. "I think that I trust the party to make sure this process is fair."
Both Ellison and Martinez said they might be amenable to one solution the party is mulling: Making the May ward convention an in-person event.
Virtual convention
At the core of the Fifth Ward controversy — and one in the Sixth Ward — is the Minneapolis DFL's decision to allow virtual conventions.
Instead of gathering in person, voting at the conventions can be done entirely via email: A delegate's provided email account receives a code, and then a response from that email account submits the code with the delegate's vote.
In 2021, the code was sent via the U.S. Postal Service to the delegate's address, but some delegates found the process confusing. The party allowed a fully digital process this year.
Sixth Ward allegations
In the Sixth Ward, candidate Kayseh Magan is accusing opponent Tiger Worku of juicing his delegate count by inventing email addresses for delegates that someone else can use to vote in their place.
Worku denies any wrongdoing.
Magan said what caught his eye was that more than 180 of Worku's delegates used addresses with Protonmail, which is easier to set up than more well-known providers because it requires little verification. Magan, a former investigator with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, said he contacted at least "two dozen" such delegates, and all told him they don't use Protonmail.
Magan said he plans to formally challenge many of Worku's delegates soon.
In an interview Tuesday, Worku acknowledged his campaign set up the email accounts. He said many of those delegates are older immigrants who don't use email or have smartphones. He said the convention plan is to actually host many of the delegates in person in his campaign office, using the campaign's computers to log in and vote via email.
"Everything is by the book," he said.
The incumbent Sixth Ward Council Member, Jamal Osman, is running for re-election.
The party doesn't have to endorse any candidate in any race.

Didn't see this asked since the 10k came out. I was just under the assumption that based on the account numbers generated when people share their Computershare paperwork, that that particular number would be over 210k.
Reasons for the discrepancy that I can think of:
We know some people were issued 2 accounts, perhaps they were merged.
Maybe some people sold, but honestly who goes to the trouble of drsing and sells for peanuts?
If the plan shares are not being counted as some have suggested maybe the accounts that are direct purchase only and have never switched to book are excluded.
Any other ideas?
Edit: What I mean to say is, based on computershares account generation format, we KNOW that at minimum 200k accounts have been created. And that this could be evidence that GME was only reporting Book shares and direct purchase wasnt included.

If you are in immediate danger, please call 911. ^{Some of these resources have been previously posted on this subreddit and are also included in this list.}

In light of the recent posts sharing their stories and experiences, I wanted to create a list of resources for students and their loved ones to hopefully get connected and find support through whatever it is they are going through.
I am a volunteer advocate with PAVSA, so some of these resources may be physically located in Northern Minnesota, but I made sure to include local and remote resources as well.
Feel free to contact me with questions or to share some information and I will update this post if I find any other resources.

Ok, it’s time to touch the third rail. I want to talk about something that is really never mentioned when discussing mass shootings.
One of the reasons I think it never comes up is because everyone is so preoccupied with focusing on guns as the primary villain.
QUESTION: Is there a connection between LGBTQ questioning or Gender confused lifestyles and an increased propensity towards mass killing?
This really started for me after I read a post by someone telling conservatives to worry less about Trans books for 5 yr olds, and more about kids being killed in mass school shootings.
This hit close to home for me as my son was in a nearby class during the STEM Highlands Ranch school shooting, perpetrated by Trans Maya/Alec McKinney and gay/questioning Devon Erickson. I was the first parent at the school as I happened to be in the parking lot when the shooting began.
I had done some previous research because of what STEM was allowing and promoting in the school before the shooting occurred. Prior to the shooting it appeared as though the administration actively celebrated and encouraged alt lifestyles. Despite those efforts, the shooter still felt anger towards “normal kids” “because they never had to question who they were or feel the way she/he felt”
What I found during my research was eye opening to say the least.
DISCLAIMER This post is not stating that there IS a connection, this post is simply ASKING the question regarding a possible connection.
Apologies in advance for the very long post, but there is a lot of relevant information for each person.
I have separated the killers into two groups, Mass Killers and School Shooters.
MASS KILLERS
Charles Whitman Date: 1 August 1966 Age: 25 Location: University of Texas at Austin Location: Austin, Texas
17 Killed: 31 Wounded
On August 1, 1966, after stabbing his mother and his wife to death the previous night, Charles Whitman, a Marine veteran, took rifles and other weapons to the observation deck atop the Main Building tower at the University of Texas at Austin, and then opened fire indiscriminately on people on the surrounding campus and streets. Over the next 96 minutes he shot and killed 15 people, including an unborn child, and injured 31 other people. The incident ended when two policemen and a civilian reached Whitman and fatally shot him. Whitman had a very close relationship with a priest at the church he attended as a teenager.
Joseph Gilles Leduc was a priest under the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
Leduc was the priest at the local church young Charles Whitman attended. Charles, who was his alter boy, was also in the scouting program Leduc helped to lead at the church. At 12, Whitman became the youngest ever to attain the status of Eagle Scout.
The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston released records of priests, including Leduc, who were credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors during the time that Whitman was his alter boy.
Joseph Giles Leduc * Birth Year:1929 * Ordination:1955 * Status: Deceased 1981
Whitman stayed in contact with the priest even during his time in the military. After leaving the military he moved blocks away from Leduc and began spending time at the priest’s house.
Leduc presided over Whitman's very hasty marriage. Before his marriage Whitman wrote a letter to his fiancee, commenting that he hopes he's not a homosexual. There's also the fateful connection between Whitman's mass murders, just after Leduc's posting to Alaska.
His younger brothers Patrick also was an alter boy for years under Leduc. Patrick married and had two daughters before coming out as gay and acknowledging being abused.

Anders Breivik
Date: 22 July 2011 Age: 32 Location: Government building/summer camp Location: Oslo and Utoya, Norway
77 Killed: 319 Wounded
“After the attack, several people reported to the police that they had homosexual contact with Breivik (Borchgrevink, 2013, p. 143).
He felt threatened and contaminated by modern gender roles, complaining that he had been “femi- nized.” His masculinity was so fragile that “when his mother makes him ‘emotionally unstable’, then in a way she also turns him into a woman” (Borchgrevink, 2013, p. 178). “

Omar Mateen
Date: 12 June 2016 Age: 29 Location: Pulse Nightclub Orlando, Florida
49 Killed
“Mateen, who was killed by police during the rampage on the Pulse nightclub early on June 12, was gay according to a male who came forward afterwards. He described his relationship with Mateen as "friends with benefits." He said the sexual relationship lasted about two months, and they met at a hotel in Orlando between 15 and 20 times.
Men and women have come forward to the FBI claiming to have had a relationship with Mateen
A former classmate at Indian River Community College told the Palm Beach Post that Mateen went to gay bars with classmates and once tried to pick him up. Four regulars at Pulse, the nightclub where the shooting occurred, told the Orlando Sentinel they had seen Mateen there before.
Ex-Wife Says Orlando Shooter Might Have Been Hiding Homosexuality From His Family
The man who killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Omar Mateen, was a regular patron of gay clubs in Florida for years, club employees, acquaintances and former classmates told ABC News.
Orlando gunman had used gay dating app and visited LGBT nightclub on other occasions, witnesses say.”

Dahmer came out as gay for the first time to a judge in 1989 after he was convicted of sexual assault and enticing a child for immoral purposes, according to the Don Davis’ 1992 biography The Milwaukee Murders: Nightmare in Apartment 213: the Twisted True Story of the “Real-life Hannibal Lecter.”
He was known as a homosexual and part of Milwaukee’s gay community.

SCHOOL SHOOTERS
Adam Lanza Date: 14 December 2012 Age: 20 School: Sandy Hook Elementary School Location: Newtown, Connecticut
26 killed
“Even though he communicated with people online, he did not have any friends. Regarding romance and sexuality, Lanza himself was at a loss: “I’m pretty confused when it comes to my sexuality” (Cole- man, 2015, p. 6). He had homosexual content on his computer and wrote at length about pedophilia, defending the practice but denying he was a pedophile. His sexual identity also seems enigmatic. In completing a form for college, on the item about gender, Lanza wrote, “I choose not to answer””(Goldstein, 2013, para. 2).

Eric Houston Date: 1 May 1992 Age: 20 School: Lindhurst High School Location: Oliverhurst, California
4 Killed
“He was confused about his sexual identity. A photograph of Houston at approximately 3 years of age shows him wearing a dress. Houston’s middle name was Christopher and on the back of the photo is written, “See, daddy, Chris was a good girl. You never believe he’s a boy” (California v. Houston, 2008, p. 100). This is a confusing message, and if Houston was only 3 (and developmentally delayed), then he would not have been the one to write the message. The potential impact of this may be seen in Houston’s obsession with the military, weapons, and SWAT teams as soon as he hit puberty. He may have sought out these masculine interests to compensate for his confused gender identity. Adding further complications, Houston was molested during high school by a male teacher. The molestations reportedly tore skin on his penis and caused bruising and painful urination (California v. Houston, 2007). The molestation raised profound questions for Houston about his sexuality. He experimented with homosexual contacts and blamed his teacher for his homosexual feelings.”

McKinney also stated he has heard voices and has suffered from homicidal and suicidal thoughts since the age of 12, and refused to take medication so that he wouldn't feel alone.”
“Alec McKinney that he had been sexually abused when he was 7 years old.”

It is obviously an oversimplification to attempt to reduce, or attribute, any of the above crimes to any single causation, or even rudimentary mix of causation variables. However there are obvious commonalities that cannot be ignored.
Obviously, in ways that do not disparage the LGBTQ+ communities, society must be able to ask basic questions regarding ANY potential correlation between the above crimes and ANY behavior or lifestyle.
QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED; Q1-Based on percentage of population, do LGBTQ questioning or gender confused individuals commit mass killings at a rate that is higher than the NON-LGBTQ questioning or gender confused population?
I don’t know the answer, but we should certainly find out.
Q2-Does living an alternative lifestyle, like LGBTQ+, outside the “norms” of society, lead to increase feelings of being different, isolated, confused, self loathing, unaccepted, angry etc.
Again, I don’t know the answer, but we need to find out, and if it does, then people are probably justified in spending time worrying about Trans and LGBTQ+ alternative lifestyle books being read to 5 yr olds.
