In this episode of The Bridgehead Briefing: - The FBI and RCMP reveal that the Tumbler Ridge mass shooter allegedly had a trans-identifying accomplice in the U.S. who helped plan the attack, sent…
Jonathon Van MarenHostAccording to information shared at a joint Royal Canadian Mounted Police and FBI press conference on October 6th, the trans-identifying Tumbler Ridge gunman who went on a shooting spree earlier this year in a very small town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, allegedly had a trans-identifying accomplice.
So to refresh your memory, because the news cycle moves so fast these days, on February 10 of this year, 18-year-old Jesse Strang, who was falsely identified by much of the Canadian press as female at the time, murdered his mother and his 11-year-old stepbrother before heading to Tumbler Ridge High School, where he killed a teacher and five children.
And that's one of the reasons why the aftermath of that has kind of sunk below the waves of general media coverage, of course, of Jesse Strang.
We would have seen all kinds of major think pieces in different Canadian newspapers.
But because he identified as transgender, we've basically heard nothing about this story since it occurred until about a week ago.
In the immediate aftermath of the mass shooting, the RCMP referred to the shooter as the quote, deceased gun person.
And they did this to avoid referring to the trans-identifying shooter as male.
Now, the term gun person had never been used before, and so it made headlines in The Sun, in the New York Post, Sky News, GB News, and elsewhere.
Canada tends to become an international story primarily for the obvious aggressiveness of the woke ideology that dominates most of our establishment narratives.
And when asked about this, the RCMP spokesperson said, we identified the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media, end quote.
Even the Toronto Star, Canada's largest and most liberal newspaper, published a very short and inaccurate headline calling him female.
The reason the FBI is involved in this is because this happened basically over the internet.
But Bryant sent Strang money to purchase shoes to wear during the shooting spree and actually assisted Strang quite a lot.
Juno News reported that Bryant, quote, even helped Strang start the vehicle he used to get to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School after he had already killed his brother and his mother.
