Quelle Surprise

On the heels of a tragedy that didn't have to happen:

At least ten people are dead and upwards of 25 injured following a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, a small community located 300 km northeast of Prince George.

The suspect, who was also found dead with what appeared to be "self-inflicted" wounds, has been identified by residents as 18-year-old Jesse Strang.

Among those who confirmed to the Western Standard that Strang was the shooter were Liam Irving and Juan van Heerden, both of whom grew up seeing him at school. They'd spoken with eight different people who were at Tumbler Ridge Secondary when the massacre took place.

"He was a couple of years younger than us grades wise," Irving explained. "He was a chill kid, he was alright, but he definitely gave off that, you know, quiet one out kind of kid ... Like, he wasn't, you know, destructive or obnoxious."

Van Heerden echoed his sentiments, labelling Strang "a quiet kid."

"We always seen him by himself," he said, "sitting by himself in the corner, always quiet."

The pair confirmed that Strang identified as transgender.

Before heading to the school, Strang allegedly murdered his mother and younger brother, both of whom were well known in the community.

He was taking SSRIs, anti-psychotics, mushrooms (which caused psychosis), DMT, and smoking weed.

Was he also taking estrogen?

A deeply troubled young man, and to make things worse, people affirmed he was a girl.

Our medical authorities are forced to affirm this delusion or… https://t.co/v5W3dV01L1

3 years ago, Redditors on r/VaushV lost their minds over Matt Walsh quoting Males of Reddit's screenshot of jesseboy347.

Trent Ernst, publisher and reporter at the local news outlet Tumbler Ridge Lines, told The Epoch Times in an interview that community members received alerts on their phones in the afternoon.

The alerts seen by The Epoch Times described the suspect as “a female in a dress with brown hair.”

Ernst, who formerly taught at the town’s high school about six years ago, said people in the small community likely know who the shooter was but can’t publicly report it. The RCMP have said they are not releasing further details at this time due to privacy concerns and because the matter remains under investigation.

 

Bull. Sh--. 

 

This gets shoved down the memory-hole before one can say: "It's not a good idea to cater to delusions."
