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."

The Telegraph article above mentions a court judgement relating to the mother letting the father having phone contact with the children. It mentions 5 children and a nomadic lifestyle.

I know I was arguing yesterday that the BBC would just be following a policy of relying on official information, but I wonder what their policy is when it is likely that the official information is wrong, either because the country is not considered a trustworthy source (Russia) or when it is known that the source is often unreliable (Trump)?

Can they acknowledge that when Canadian (and Australian? New Zealand?) officials talk about sex, their meaning is ambiguous?

It talks about them living between BC and Newfoundland which are almost 3,000 miles apart.

He was at least 6ft tall. I think even from a distance his sex would be fairly apparent.

This is excellent and thorough, from last year, the written article is partially paywalled but you can listen to the whole article narrated.

This is a good article on the subject. Apologies if it's been shared already.

If it was his stepbrother he killed then there is another bereaved mother out there somewhere, she hasn't been mentioned yet either. I wonder if the other kids were half siblings or stepsiblings of the shooter?

Not read whole thread but BBC reports now state 18 year old responsible. No mention of sex of perpetrator. I can only assume they've received a fair few complaints regarding the insinuation of him being a woman so have left out sex completely. Will be interesting to see how he is referred to in any further reports.

And why ditch legal name in favour of Mum's name?

That really is a good article. It genuinely explains what is wrong about affirming teens with gender dysphoria as trans rather than looking at their mental distress more deeply.

Australia ! :

Canadian police have identified the person who carried out a school massacre as an 18-year-old woman with mental health issues.
The killer, who police named as Jesse Van Rootselaar, killed herself after the shooting ….,,

From the NYPost article posted upthread

Constantly telling those who ID as trans that they’re under attack, let alone that they have to take up arms to defend themselves from abuse and violence, is all but programming them to lash out.

Alongside telling them that they're going to kill themselves if they're not affirmed. Well he did kill himself but decided to take some children with him. Not just the kids but their families and the community will also be injured by whatever vile thoughts were driving him.

I think it's reasonable to take the view that the primary reason that this happened was because the shooter was psychotic and had access to guns but you have to pick a lane.

To then respect the shooter's claim that they are a woman is offensive and ludicrous.

Has anyone else noticed that the entire event has essentially disappeared from the BBC news page? I bet it would still be the main headline if it had been an ACTUAL woman who carried out the attack. Suspect they are trying to draw as little attention as possible to the fact it was a TIM perpetrator.

That's exactly what they should have done yesterday morning, as soon as it emerged there was any ambiguity about the shooter's sex. Just a line saying 'While the Canadian police say the killer was a woman, the sex of the suspect is being disputed by other sources' or something similar would have done the job. They are, after all, meant to be balanced.

How completely predictable.

The killer on Reddit at 15

Was he unable to say no?

I'd say he's got a fairly standard patriarchal mindset. Women can be educated and have careers, but ultimately still defer to and work in support of the man who "owns" them either through a family relationship or a work hierarchy rather than her own goals. And a high value woman must still always be groomed to culturally feminine standards of beauty.

And as a "winner" male, in any interaction with any women (except possibly the queen of England when she was alive), he expects to be the superior party and he expects her to recognise that and defer appropriately.

Absolutely this.

An actual woman doing something like this would be huge news, even if it happened in the US where mass shooting is common.

I note that some news sources are at pains to include stats showing how much less mass shooting happens in Canada compared to the US (although it's still vastly more common than UK). Shame stats on which sex perpetrates more than 90% of all violent crime are rarely added to news articles.

'Why can't I be petit an smol?'

I don't really want to blame the school or the parents, or even the Canadian government, but maybe if children were told early, firmly, and repeatedly, that the body they have is the body the have, and get on with trying to be a decent human being instead of mooning over their wish to look like creepy anime cartoon characters not quite as many of them would go mad.

I have always admired Snoopy, but if the magic body change fairy showed up I'd go for better eyesight.

I came on to post similar.
Lyse Doucet has recently taken up a post in Iran. Every single report I have seen starts by explaining that she has only been allowed in on the condition that non of her output is broadcast on BBC Persian.
Why can't they do similar for Tumbler Ridge, along the lines of "we are quoting verbatim what the Canadian police tell us. They have very different pro-self-ID legislation over there that our reporters on the ground have to follow or they will be in trouble. Meanwhile, back here in London, we can tell you that there is some query over what they mean by the phrase 'female in a dress'."

and detention and 100 lines any time one of them uses the term 'smol'

I agree - but like him or not Trump has improved women's rights in the US in relation to gender woo from where they were prior to his election. That's just a fact.

I hate this so much. Yay, he knows what a woman is. And boy does he know how to treat them like shit too. He knows what a woman is - it's a gender stereotype that I can't subscribe to.
