Nope, you're not seeing things or waking up from a fever dream. That’s not a typo in that headline.
In today’s episode of how mentally ill are the mentally ill, a Florida man reportedly shot and killed his pregnant transgender "boyfriend." Riley John Grover, 26, shot his “boyfriend,” Camdyn Rider, 21, and then killed himself.
Rider is a female to male transitioner and was eight months pregnant when "he" was shot, according to local Tampa Bay outler, WTSP. On Friday, Grover shot his “boyfriend” and their child in utero numerous times on the couple’s front lawn in front of several witnesses. After killing his “boyfriend,” Grover took his own life.
The case is still under investigation, but luckily, it appears it’s being considered a domestic-related double murder-suicide. Finally, people are recognizing that a child in utero is still a human life!
“This was a violent and horrific double murder that ended the lives of a 21-year-old [person] who was 8 months pregnant, and her unborn baby,” a sheriff said about the incident.
Supposedly, this isn’t the first time Grover and Rider have gotten into heated arguments. Grover’s mother indicated that while the couple “loved each other very much,” according to Law & Crime, they also “argued over work around the house” and were in a “volatile relationship.” Family members also indicated that past arguments with the couple turned physical but “none of those incidents were reported to law enforcement,” authorities said.
Grover had also been in trouble for his violence in the past. At age 17, he fired five BB pellets through someone’s home and admitted that he “willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly harassed the victim via text and phone calls after the victim asked him to stop.” While he was getting arrested, he supposedly kicked the deputy in the leg and struck him, too. He also previously got in an argument with his mother, which caused him to break a bottle on the kitchen floor and use a hatchet to break several doors in the house, and Grover reportedly once chased another family member with a knife and stabbed her stomach.
Clearly this dude’s got some unsolved mental health issues that needed working through!
While it truly is unfortunate that Grover acted so violently, it doesn’t seem that far off given his track record. Grover and Reider were living and believing a delusion which fed their mental health crises.
Men can’t get pregnant. And transgender men are still women. That’s why and how Reider, a biological girl, got pregnant. But no, Grover didn’t kill his boyfriend. He killed a woman and her child in utero.
Luckily, users on Twitter agreed that the story brought chaos to a whole new level:

Disgustingly dehumanizing to the mom & baby to call the dead woman a "boyfriend!" Once a serious crime such as murder occurs that should immediately trump their social naming preferences!

Case in point-if they were "#furries" would you say man kills squirrel and her unborn pup?

All in all, we have a mental health crisis in this country, and violence and wokeism have spread like a social contagion. We need to fix all that so that things like this don’t keep happening.
