Canadian Mounties Blame Mass Shooting On Random Gunperson, Pronouns Bang/Bang
Gaslighting may have even contributed to the death toll
Jesse Van Rootselaar, a 17-year-old transgender-identified man who also went by Jesse Strang, killed nine people and wounded 25 yesterday in one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history.
Van Rootselaar reportedly killed his gender-affirming mother and 11 year-old brother before entering Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia to continue his murder spree. He then took his own life.
Because he identified as transgender, Van Rootselaar was initially described as a “woman in a dress” in emergency police warnings to shelter in place. Resulting confusion may have added to the toll of deaths and injuries. Don’t hold your breath waiting for accountability on this one.
