Jesse who? Latest on BC school massacre

What follows appeared on Canada's Global TV News website 46 minutes after Walt's last post on the tragedy at Tumbler Ridge BC. 

"BC RCMP have identified the shooter as 18-year-old female Jesse Van Rootselaar, who is a resident of Tumbler Ridge. [A spokesthingy] said they do have a history of police calls to the family residence involving Van Rootselaar, including some mental health calls."

Ed. was unable to find any photos -- male or female -- of "Jesse Van Rootselaar", but did find the photos above in which the subject is identified as 17-year-old "Jesse Strang". Could they be related? The Mounties later  said that the two Jesses were one and the same. "Jesse Van Rootselaar" is the name that "Jesse Strang" adopted when he changed his "gender identity".

Jesse's mother, Jennifer, and sibling, Emmett, were among the eight (8) victims of his actions. After killing them and wounding over two dozen others (see previous posts), he turned the gun, for which he had an expired licence, on himself. Total body count so far: 9.

Mounties REFUSE to confirm trans "identity" of Tumbler Ridge killer

The massacre at Tumbler Ridge BC occurred at about 1300 PST yesterday. As I write, 21 hours later, Canada's lickspittle mainstream media are hushing up the identity and sexual orientation of the murderer -- Jesse "Jess" Strang. On the noon (EST) news, CTV News went with the liberal party line, as laid down by the state-owned CBC, to wit:

"RCMP Supt. Ken Floyd told reporters that investigators had identified a suspect, but would not immediately release a name. He also said the shooter's motive remained unclear, adding that police are still investigating how the victims are connected to the shooter. 

"Police said they believe the suspected shooter found dead at the school is the same person described in the active shooter alert sent to phones in the area earlier today. In an earlier alert Tuesday, police had described the suspect as 'female in a dress with brown hair.'"

Why the radio silence? Because, you see, Mr/Ms/Whatever Strang was a transsexual or at least a transsexual wannabe. That doesn't fit the woke wisdom which prevails in Canada, that there's nothing wrong with people who wish to change their birth sexuality, or should we say the sexuality imposed on them by their parents.. 

They "act out", the wokesters say, only because they're being deprived of their "right" to decide their gender identity for themselves. To suggest that people like Strang might be dangerous to themselves and others because of a form of mental illness is (of course) "unacceptable".

Another gender-confused "person" shoots up another school...

...in Canada, this time. Nine people have been killed, two seriously wounded, and 25 others injured in attacks at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a home in Tumbler Ridge, about 415 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia. Al Jazeera reports.

Six victims were found dead inside the school. A seventh died on the way to hospital Two more people were found dead in a home nearby. The Mounties won't say "definitively" that the shootings at the school are connected with those at the home. In fact, they're reluctant to divulge any information that would confirm our suspicions, because (Walt believes) it reflects badly on the sick state of woke Western society. 

The suspect's body, reportedly clad in a dress -- you can see where this is going -- was found at the school with a self-inflicted injury. Inspector Knacker says the cops know the attacker's identity but have not revealed their name and gender. 

But hold on! Thanks to @reddux on Twitter, the identity of the shooter can now be confirmed as Jesse "Jess" Strang, a biological male who started to "identify as a girl" around 2023.

There's a  more revealing (in a way) photo on Reddux's thread but you can check that for yourself. 

In 2021, Mr/Ms/Whatever Strang launched a YouTube channel which was promoted by his mother (aha!) on her Facebook account. The channel was dedicated to "hunting, self-reliance, guns" and his... errr... other interests. 

[Let's forget about pronouns and call Strang by his surname. Ed.] OK. 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. 

Strang's mother's Facebook posts indicate Strang may have struggled with behavioral issues, including violent tendencies, from a very young age. Strang fatally shot 9 people (at last count) prior to taking his own life.

You were expecting maybe some other answer?

Sorry to be a bit late with this one.

Beginning of the end for Castro Communist Cuba?

Agent 10 is excited this morning by the latest news from the People's Democratic Republic of Cuba. Minions of the Cuban government today warned airlines that there isn't enough fuel on the island for airplanes to refuel. Seems that POTUS, by cutting Cuba off from its Venezuelan and Mexican fuel sources, has driven another nail into the coffin of Castro Communism.

NOTAMs (notices to airlines and pilots) were published on Sunday night, warning that jet fuel won’t be available at nine airports across the island, including José Martí International Airport in Havana, starting Tuesday and continuing until March 11th... at least. After President Trump signed the executive order imposing a tariff on any goods from countries that sell or provide oil to Cuba, the country now faces an unprecedented energy crisis.

The desperate rationing of jet fuel may not disrupt shorter regional flights, but presents a significant challenge for long-haul routes from countries like Russia and Canada which have been mainstay's of Cuba's tourism economy. The fuel shortage deals another blow to a country that relies heavily on tourism, an industry that once generated $3 billion in annual revenue and served as a vital economic lifeline. 

But it's not only jet fuel that is in short supply... or no supply. Agent 10 reports that in her hometown, in the centre of the island (not Havana), there is no electricity for 20 hours per day. And no electricity means no water. This picture, of people cooking over an open fire in the streets of Havana, shows what things have come to for the ordinary people of Cuba -- victims of 73 years of Communist misrule.

Minions of the Cuban government announced yesterday that bank hours have been reduced and cultural events suspended. In Havana. The public bus system has effectively ground to a halt, leaving residents stranded as endemic power outages and grueling fuel lines reach a breaking point. 

The energy crisis has forced the suspension of major events like the Havana International Book Fair this past weekend and a restructuring of the national baseball season for greater efficiency. Some banks have cut operating hours and fuel distribution companies said they would no longer sell gas in Cuban pesos. Sales will be made in real money -- Yanqui dollars -- and limited to 20 litres per user. 

The latest measures add to others announced Friday, including cuts to bus transportation and limited train departures. Last Thursday, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel delivered a two-hour televised address, acknowledging the impact and warning that measures would be taken in the coming days. 

American sanctions against Cuba have been in place for more than six decades and have long stunted Cuba’s economy. But they reached new extremes after a US military operation deposed former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and POTUS began to take an even more confrontational tone toward Latin America. 

For the ordinary people of Cuba, the crisis has translated into power outages lasting up to 10 hours, fuel shortages for vehicles, and a lack of food or medicine that many compare to the severe economic depression in the 1990s known as the "Special Period" that followed cuts in aid from what was then the Soviet Union.

This means things are going to get worse... much worse... before the Communist regime can be overthrown. But the ordinary Cuban people, such as Agent 10's family, say, "We are willing to pay the price. Bring it on!"
