Mass Shooting in Tumbler Ridge Canada

[fromorbit]

Looks like it was a man in a dress. Another tragedy. More lives lost. Boys with violent tendencies cannot be told they are actually girls. The violent background of trans activism is a problem.

BREAKING

The identity of the Tumbler Ridge shooter can now be confirmed as Jesse “Jess” Strang.

Strang is a biological male who started to “identify” as a "girl" around 2023.

Strang was raised in a family that valued hunting, and began learning how to shoot rifles when he was just a child. Many guns were kept in the family's residence.

Facebook posts from his mother indicate he may have struggled with behavioral issues, including violent tendencies, from a very young age.

Strang fatally shot 10 people prior to taking his own life.

In 2021, Strang launched a YouTube channel that was promoted by his mother on her Facebook. The channel was dedicated to "hunting, self-reliance, guns" and his other interests. At some point, Strang deleted the content on the channel and changed his handle from "Jesse Boy" to "JessJessUwU." The only remaining post on the channel was made 6 months ago and reads "I've been pretty, um, aimless."

Especially in BC. Lots of isolated wilderness.

I can't believe an American would spout this tbh!

I think they just have to be at a higher standard of reporting than social media- so they need the shooter’s gender and name to be verified in a way that other accounts don’t.

Bullshit. Canadians are very offended if you ask them if they’re American!

This is the issue mainstream news has now though. They are still using the traditional approaches to official information. While the internet can already tell us far more.

What's interesting, listening to the CBC as I type, is that they are interviewing people in the town who surely know what is going on, but aren't asking anything about the shooter. Maybe they have been told not to, until family can be contacted?

A shelter in place is an emergency alert, isn’t it? ’A female in a dress’ certainly won’t alert anyone if it is a male in a dress. Like a notice which says Gabriel Alejandro Gentile is a dangerous ‘teenage girl’ wouldn’t protect women.

Come on trump is American and he could spout that easily

This has got to be a wind up?

Either that or someone's been hitting the kool aid pretty hard. 😂

There would be nothing to stop them saying 'unverfied reports suggest that this description is misleading ' or similar.

Again, if they are so hamstrung in reporting the facts, they become redundant.

One of the weird effects of the odd use of language is just how easy it is to spot for anyone paying attention and just how rage inducing that itself is.

It's not just outrage and horror at the actual event but also a sense of total betrayal and complicity by the authorities that comes across.

The theme that runs through this is loss of trust. That's a theme across politics generally anyway.

My point being this loss of trust in institutions is compounded by this sense. And actually harms transpeople way more than just reporting 'someone who identifies as trans' has done x, y or z because people associate the issues over trust AS WELL AS the actual crime so it becomes a double whammy of outrage.

It's bonkers. Telling the truth would remove this sense of being actively lied to. It's a massive political own goal which is unforced. It would be easy to avoid.

Oh shit. Trump's MN handle is JoannaTheYodelingCowgirl. I'd never have guessed.

You do have a very high opinion of the press. Many a time a male perpetrator has been reported as being a woman when it has been well established it was a man. Actual facts withheld in favour of fantasy.

Meanwhile, over on the usual corner of Reddit...

Not wanting to claim one of your own on this occasion, lads?

Their guidelines on accuracy do slightly affect (but don’t prevent) using unverified reports. They have to be attributed and contextualised and they have to justify their use. So if they were later found to be untrue, and contributed to some kind of defamatory case, they could be at legal risk.

I don’t disagree, it definitely slows them down. I suppose my personal feeling is that I want to trust substantiated facts, so I’m glad there are processes to corroborate information.

Why did they go out of their way to state it was a female in a dress if the person was obviously not female? FFS.

It's a life-style choice, like many things lumped together as the 'mental health' excuse.

BBC1 1pm news. Being very circumspect 'have not revealed their name or gender'.
No mention of the alert message.

It’s not the gender we want to know is it!

In those cases, I’d assume their reporting is affected by their definitions of female and male, which differ from how many of us see gender. They should now be in line with the latest clarifications about legal sex, so I’d hope the cases you’re referring to are pre the Supreme Court clarifications.

We have seen time and time again on here the BBC not reporting accurately on topics re gender identity. We even mass complained in the Darlington nurse case and they changed their wording.

I'm sorry but I do not believe that this is in any way to do with 'accuracy'. It's them dragging their feet to see how they can badge it.

I think it's really disrespectful to the victims to still be pushing gender ideology when enough is known now about it being a male shooter.

Why does his self identity matter, but the respect for the entirely innocent victims to speak the truth is not important? It's warped, sick and evil. And the BBC is doing it.

If they knew it wasn't a crocodile that had ravaged a zookeeper but increasingly reports indicated a lion they wouldn't continue with the 'reports say a crocodile...' etc.

They could be entirely neutral and just say there was a shooting, the murderer also killed themself and the identity of the shooter is not yet known.

The fact is, they're prioritising the obviously wrong initial info 'female in a dress' rather than choosing to respect the victims. It's biased, it's a lie and it's cruel to the victims IMO to be prioritising the killers self-identity in this way.

Blaming a woman for the shootings is outrageous!

I agree. And equally the fact the shooter was likely trans doesn’t change the harm which would be the same whether they were trans or not, but it affects the risk - if trans people are more likely to be shooters, we need to use that to safeguard and find out why. The priority shouldn’t be the feelings of some mentally ill individuals who see it as their ‘right’ to be perceived as female.

The Telegraph is now saying 'Gunperson in dress'

The police still haven't released anything about the identity. It's nothing to do with the press.
