Patriot Brief

  • What Happened: An 18-year-old transgender "woman" with mental health issues killed nine people in Canada, including his mother, stepbrother, and six victims at his former school.
  • Why It Matters: Jesse Van Rootselaar had guns confiscated from his residence but they were returned, and police had visited his home multiple times for mental health concerns before the massacre.
  • Bottom Line: This marks another school shooting involving a transgender individual with documented mental illness, raising serious questions about gun access and mental health intervention.

Another transgender shooter just slaughtered innocent people, and the media will ignore the pattern because it destroys their narrative.

An 18-year-old transgender woman killed nine people in one of Canada's worst mass shootings. Jesse Van Rootselaar, who was born biologically male, murdered his mother and 11-year-old stepbrother at home before attacking his former high school in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.

Six people were found dead at the school. A 39-year-old teacher and five students, three 12-year-old girls and two boys aged 13 and 12. Rootselaar killed himself after the rampage. Twenty-four others were wounded.

Here is the part that should make everyone furious. Rootselaar had a documented history of mental illness. Police visited his home multiple times over the years to check on his mental health. He was apprehended more than once under the provincial Mental Health Act for assessment. His firearms were confiscated from his residence. And then they were returned to him.

Let that sink in. A mentally ill transgender individual had guns taken away and then given back. Now nine people are dead, including children as young as 12.

This is not the first time a transgender shooter has committed mass murder. The pattern is undeniable. But the media refuses to talk about it because acknowledging the connection between gender dysphoria, mental illness, and violence would destroy years of propaganda.

Police Commander Dwayne McDonald said there is no information that anyone was specifically targeted. The motive remains unclear. But what is clear is that a mentally disturbed transgender teenager was allowed access to firearms despite multiple red flags.

Canada has strict gun control laws. They confiscated his weapons. Then they gave them back. Now a teacher and five children are dead.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called it an "unimaginable tragedy" and said flags will fly at half-staff for seven days. But thoughts and prayers will not bring back the victims. And ignoring the mental health crisis among transgender individuals will only lead to more death.

This is what happens when society refuses to acknowledge reality. When mental illness is celebrated instead of treated. When warning signs are ignored because political correctness matters more than public safety.

Nine people are dead. And the truth about what happened will be buried along with them.
