‘Trans’ accomplice allegedly helped Tumbler Ridge shooter plan attack

-



According to information shared at a joint Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and FBI press conference on October 6, the trans-identifying Tumbler Ridge gunman who went on a shooting spree earlier this year in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, allegedly had a transgender-identifying accomplice.

On February 10, 18-year-old Jesse Strang — falsely identified by much of the Canadian press as female — killed his mother and 11-year-old stepbrother before heading to Tumbler Ridge High School, where he killed a teacher and five children (three 12-year-old girls, a 12-year-old boy, and a 13-year-old boy) and injured more than 25 before shooting himself.

In the immediate aftermath, the RCMP referred to the shooter as “the deceased gunperson” to avoid referring to the trans-identifying shooter as male. The term has never before been officially used, and it made headlines in The Sun, the New York Post, Sky News, GB News, and elsewhere. When asked, an RCMP spokesperson stated, “We identify the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media.” The Toronto Star published a short, inaccurate headline calling him female.

According to the RCMP and FBI, a trans-identifying male named James Cody Bryant was Strang’s accomplice, sending money to him to purchase shoes to wear during the shooting spree and assisting Strang; Juno News reported that Bryan “even helped Strang start the vehicle he used to get to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School after he had already killed his brother and mother.” Bryant and Strang met on Omegle, a free online chat website, connecting over transgender issues. According to Juno News:


Bryant developed an online relationship with the trans shooter over “at least a six-month period,” which then began to “focus on violence.” Authorities say that the shooter’s motivations were based on “the general suffering” that the shooter was experiencing as well as a “very keen focus on notoriety,” with conversations often centering around famous school shootings. Bryant allegedly offered to live stream the mass casualty event and even did for a brief moment before then being unable to do so.

“Without Bryant’s misplaced loyalty and willingness to operate the livestream, we don’t ultimately know if the shooter would have gone through with the crime,” FBI special agent Mike Harrington stated. “We certainly know the shooter was concerned that not enough people would see the livestream without Bryant broadcasting it and was depending on Bryant to amplify the livestream because the shooter did not have many followers on social media.”

“Bryant assisted the shooter in successfully travelling to a second location to take even more lives. In the complaint, Bryant even admits to being maybe the only one who could stop the shooter,” Harrington emphasized, referring to the fact that Byrant allegedly told Strang how to operate the car after he’d murdered his stepbrother and mother. At another point, Bryant allegedly pulled an all-nighter to discuss and plan the shooting with Strang.

The investigation is ongoing. Bryant now faces charges of conspiracy to murder in a foreign country.

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

Hate Doesn’t Win, But It Scores

A person in Louisville connected to the Whitefield Academy e-mails with more details about what has happened to the school and its personnel since the gay kid with the long list of disciplinary issues was dismissed the other day. The Head of the School, has received death threats against his home, his person, his family, and of course his place of work, as has the High School principal.  The school itself has received, via social media and the mail, threats of harm, danger, murder, mayhem, attack, and destruction. There was a threat for teachers to watch themselves in the parking lot getting into their cars, that they would be targets. One teacher was actually attacked unsuccessfully (perhaps the only real intention of the perp was to scare her) by a close call from a car feigning a sideswipe while she was getting in. Highview Church has been threatened as well. I’m keeping this reader’s name out of it, though he gave me permission to use this material. He’s not on s...

Image via Wikipedia A lawsuit backed by powerful international lawyers and pressure groups has placed the poor Central American country of Belize in the crosshairs of an international battle over homosexuality. On one side of the battle stand three groups of international lawyers. On the other side is the government of Belize and a consortium of Christian Churches who have hired high- powered legal talent who are expected to file papers in court today. The battle began last September when a homosexual advocacy group challenged Belize’s criminal code, which penalizes “carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any person.” The Solicitor General of Belize answered this challenge in February with an affidavit defending the sodomy laws, which drew a further response from a powerful group of lawyers including the International Commission of Jurists , the Commonwealth Lawyers Association , and Human Dignity Trust to join the case as interested parties.   One of the at...
