Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, February 11, 2026

Canadian police confirmed ten deaths and at least 35 injuries following a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia. The shooter, who also killed himself, was identified by a close family member as Jesse Strang, a transgender person identifying with she/her' pronouns. According to media reports, an active shooter alert was issued at 3.15pm Mountain Time (MT) by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), covering a large area including Chetwynd and Dawson Creek.

It's time to put all two hundred trans people in America into camps. Never mind that most shooters are young cis white males.

You're so deeply obsessed with trans people.

You're either sexually attracted to women with a penis, or you want to be a woman with a penis.

Probably both, actually.

"Jesse Strang, a transgender person"

You ever think if you treated trans people with basic human decency, they wouldn't have so many mental health challenges?
You ever think of just being nice to strangers.

No, it's never occurred to you to just be nice to people.
I bet your parents treated you like ----.
I bet you're proud of it.

Why would American media cover news of a mass shooting in Canada when we stopped caring about mass shootings in America a long time ago.

This happened yesterday. Boaz posts it ten minutes after they ID the shooter as trans and whines about the "media" not covering it.

So, what does that make the count in the Northern Hemisphere?

A hundred or so Rwing White Nationalist (mostly Incel) shooters vs a couple of lefties and a trans?

The reason that the DHS and FBI have for decades now stated that most Domestic Terrorism, including mass shootings, in this country is perpetrated by Boaz's rwing buddies is that it's true... and no amount of One-Off shootings by someone else changes that FACT.

My wife and I met a couple a few weeks ago who own a few small apartment buildings (3 or 4 units per brownstone).

These people aren't oligarchs, one is an auto mechanic and I forget the wife's profession.

Anyways, this couple only rents out to LGBTQ tenants because they said "they don't trash the place" like previous heterosexual tenants they've suffered with.

Typical Rightwing response to mass shootings:

Was the shooter black, a minority, LGBTQ?

That person - and all people like that person - should be thrown into prisons and kicked out of America.

Was the shooter a white man?

He was just having a bad day. Boys will be boys. What can we as a nation do about it? Nothing can be done. Thoughts and prayers. Let's move right along.

Also.

Shouldn't schools have metal detectors? Shouldn't teachers be armed? Shouldn't students be armed? More guns for everyone!

I'm sure they have been hitting the refresh button on the story for 24 hours just to find that out.

"Police are so terrified of "misgendering" they're calling the suspect a "gun-person" instead of gunman."

LOL

usually, the focus is on the gun and how we need to get rid of them but since it's Canada, maybe that argument isn't relevant.

In 2025 there were 425 mass shootings in the US; 420 were killed and 1,898 were wounded.

What makes a single mass killing, and not even in the USA, worth posting about, Major DEI Boazo?

The mainstream media is ignoring the horrors Trump's federal administration is unleashing on Minnesota.

Americans are being denied their civil rights by ICE, aka Trump's Gestapo.

Meanwhile Boaz has Google alerts turned on for any news about transgender people.

What a fucking weirdo.

I'd like to know if the shooter owned the gun. If not, I'd like to know why whoever did own it did not have it secured.

Born male, identified as female.

So according to Republican ideology it was a white dude that shot up a school.

Color me shocked.

Are you denying white men constitute the majority of mass shooters in America?

Are you denying media coverage of white male shooters uses different language than if the shooter had been Black, a minority or LGBTQ?

Here's an added bonus, Republicans love starting gofundme accounts for white mass shooters.

what's the point of those questions? No, I don't deny any of that but that's irrelevant to my point.

I said YOU run to the political affiliation of a shooter just like others run to the race or sexual orientation.

The political affiliation matters as much to you as the sexual orientation does to Boaz.

Boaz does that too, by proxy.

My view of the matter doesn't change based on the identity of who the shooter is.

Find any post of me from any thread, ever, where I defend the shooter based on their political affiliation.

What an idiot you are.

Meanwhile.

For people like Boaz, that's all that matters.

Keep spinning, *itch.

Maybe sooner or later you'll posting something worth discussing.

Trump should start posting about Trans more....

... obviously it's more interesting than the Epstein Files, Russia's Rape and Murder of Ukraine, the Economy, Trump's Crypto and other scams, ICE still today violating people's rights in MN and all around the country... the US AG lying her ass off to Congress and ignoring the Victims and the Perps.... and so much more that matters so much more.

I'm for boycotting these asinine threads from asinine posters like Boaz and Jeff.

Besides, they prolly need some couple time.

You're denying you've made an issue out of the political affiliation of the shooter in the past?

You're denying you've never sought out their political affiliation and blamed their actions on the right wing trash message that's corrupted them?

I like the "Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrives at the scene of the shooting" picture at the top of the article.

It's from a shooting event in Nova Scotia six years ago. Looks like the "Hungarian Conservative" needs to update it's stock photo collection.

Of course "political affiliation" and political ideology matter.

We need to know whether they are terrorists or not.

If they are Republicans and they murder someone AND they support Trumpy's lies then they are NOT terrorists.

If they are democrats or liberals and they commit a crime (and even if they do NOT commit a crime) and they are on the "list" then they are terrorists according to a Presidential Executive Order and National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7).

So. Yes. We need to know.

Yes or No:

1) Are you denying the fact the majority of mass shooters and domestic terrorists in America are Rightwing morons?

2) Are you pretending I change my opinion about mass shooters based on their political affiliation?

3) Were you triggered because I accurately described rightwinger's fluctuating opinions about criminals based on the race, gender, sexual preference and political affiliation of the criminal?

Honestly. I think you saw something I posted and were eager for my attention.

Answer my questions first. Just get it over with already.

Admit you run to the political affiliation of the shooter faster than Boaz does.

but here's the thing....you accurately point out the reality about mass shooters which justifies your desire to run the political affiliation of said shooter as fast as Boaz runs to the sexual orientation of them.

So, it's not the same thing, right?

You're justified in rushing to label the shooter.....whereas Boaz isn't.

Boaz started this thread, so I think it's pretty clear who's champing at the bit to be the first to link the shooter to a demographic.

Neither are you. Because you have no choice.

We dont necessarily WANT to know. We have to know. Now.

It is now a requirement that has been foisted upon us by the President of the United States by making it a central issue and dividing all of America over it. Trumpy has made it an absolute requirement to know. Because your political affiliation NOW can and will be used against you in a Court of Law under Trumpy's AG, Pam Bondi.
