Mass Shooting in Tumbler Ridge Canada

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."

If they stopped reporting the original quote, I wonder what people might accuse them of then? E.g. covering up that the police had originally reported the shooter as female. I’m sure many here would also take that as evidence of bias on the BBC’s part.

It's not that difficult to say 'initial police reports said they were seeking.....' Given the story has moved on from this anyway.

The trouble is that the BBC has been quite careful with the wording but it's a major source of news around the world and this leads to confusion in the repeated stories.

The have said this
Earlier, a shelter-in-place alert described the suspect as a "female in a dress with brown hair"

They also said similar earlier, as I posted, while adding that the identity of the attacker had not yet been confirmed by police. Honestly I think we’re splitting hairs because people are determined to be angered by the BBC. Someone kept arguing with me earlier, then admitted they hadn’t read the BBC reports.

Twowhippetstwogingers · 11/02/2026 16:21

As soon as I saw “female in a dress” I came to MN because I knew it would be a male. That is/was not a female.

Hope all the survivors pull through. The poor families of those who’ve died and been injured.

Lalgarh · 11/02/2026 16:22

Female in a dress is worse than useless as a description of a suspect.

What about height and build?

Observed · 11/02/2026 16:24

Perhaps ‘person with brown hair wearing a dress’ would have been a better initial description? Accurate and not misleading.

Cailleach1 · 11/02/2026 16:25

All sympathies are with the victims who this boy/man murdered and hurt. He has also destroyed many families who have to live with the pain of loss.

It is also helpful for the safety of society to investigate circumstances/ issues which may have led to what a boy/man like this becoming so violent and eventually committing such an atrocity. It would need to be an honest and thorough investigation though. Not an ideologically driven one.

DownhillTeaTray · 11/02/2026 16:27

The problem is that in Canada he is a female. The RCMP and BC govt will not report it otherwise.

It will be up to the public, and other countries' news outlets, to say the truth.

speakout · 11/02/2026 16:31

So glad to find this thread of sanity!

What shooter would ever wear a dress- only a man.

HolyGround13 · 11/02/2026 16:09

That’s a great point. Media is generally trying to de-center the perpetrator because many of them end up being idolised by future shooters.
I know how upsetting I find it when news about violence against women as girls focuses on the perpetrators (“he always kept himself to himself” etc) rather than acknowledging the victims and impact.
I suppose this thread is revealing how many people mistrust mainstream media.

The thing is, loads of on here watch tribunals and cases, follow exactly what was said as it happens and then see in real time the way the BBC report it (or don't ). The BBC has been doing this utterly blatantly for years.

Yes there's mistrust in MSM and it is completely deserved. The bias is there for all to see if you actually look at source documents and follow journalists who actually report on what's happening. It's frankly infuriating.

That the mistrust is only just revealing itself to you is, with respect, not a reflection on women on here who have been in the weeds of this for a long time.

A man in a dress stands out a mile off. We all know it. It would’ve been a very specific and identifying descriptor, and isn’t that the whole point.

Lalgarh · 11/02/2026 16:38

Height of suspect. Skin colour. Hairstyle or if bald ( they did remark on that). Any distinctive features.

I think we will have to see how they continue to cover the story over the next few days.

As it is it is less than 24 yours since the shooting happened, so the police priority will be dealing with the aftermath and trying to establish what happened, and there may be reasons why they don't want to share details with the media.

I hear you. I’m not saying the mistrust is totally undeserved. Nor did I mean to imply that it is only revealing itself to me today. I am concerned that people are conflating standard media practices with bias in some instances on here.

The reporting today seemed to quote the initial description and clarify that we didn’t yet know the identity of the shooter. Someone argued and then told me they hadn’t read the BBC report I’d linked and quoted. That people are in the weeds may be an appropriate description- overwhelmed to the point of misquoting and misunderstanding has been my experience of it today. That people here often follow the tribunals and reporting as it happens is great- it doesn’t reflect what I’ve seen people doing today. I’m nervous of people blindly trusting social media reports because they don’t trust MSM.

I remember the Texas shooting a couple of years ago in which there were loads of reports the shooter was trans, and he wasn’t. We need to know that our news sources wait for facts to be verified. If people can’t understand the context of quotes, that is disturbing.

We agree on so much about women’s rights and I believe in being sceptical of how things are reported. However I think fostering mistrust today on the basis of previous errors and misreporting is not helpful.

Yes
It just drops out of the news. There was a shooting in Minnesota last year (not ICE) where it was all huge interest and then nothing

If this is a trans identifying child do you think the American Right are going to let it just disappear?

fgs I read a news article saying it was a “woman” earlier and I thought to myself oh that’s quite unusual. I’ve heard it all now. “Woman” indeed

I knew as soon as I read 'in a dress'. If a female did do such a thing, I can't imagine them selecting such impractical clothing.

In terms of the 'BBC didn't know '. Fine but as soon as there was doubt they should have said 'person'.

They are no longer looking for the suspect so they don't need to stick to the wording of the original report.

This.

Also, the BBC could follow Al Jazeera and say something like 'initial reports from authorities was that the shooter was a 'female in a dress' however the sex of the perpetrator has not been confirmed.

The authorities have confirmed they know who the shooter is but have not confirmed name or any other details about that person, nor whether the initial description was accurate.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 11/02/2026 17:02

Of course, the MSM will keep saying its a woman.

swimsong · 11/02/2026 17:04

EsmaCannonball · 11/02/2026 08:07

And still newspapers are blaming it on a woman. I could tell from the reporting that it was going to be a man in a dress.

Yes, the first report I saw referred to a "woman" with she/her pronouns. I immediately thought that's so unlikely. Next report I read said "a female in a dress with brown hair". Given it's Canada I can see many reports won't even say he's a he and he's trans.

Tbf, the pp you've repeatedly referred to as having not read the articles was actually right when they said that the BBC used the term gender - they did.

Using the word 'gender' instead of 'sex' in BBCs reporting today is a deliberate choice. I don't accept it's a neutral decision. Fair enough if you disagree.

Mistrust based on previous misreporting and blatant evidenced bias is entirely rational in my view.

Anyway, time will tell and we'll see.

Yes, I agree. That would have been ideal. And as we now know, correct. But the reporters who broke the story may not have had confirmation of the perpetrator’s sex.

crascenda · 11/02/2026 17:15

Remember the victims. The shooter has achieved fame now, let's focus on his victims now instead, please.
