The Only School Shootings Corporate Media Don’t Hype Are By Gender-Fluid Murderers

NBC sought to shift blame from the shooter to conservatives for daring to notice the growing trend of transgender shooters.

Officials identify the 11-year-old boy murdered by trans gunman in Iowa school shooting



A trans-identifying teen who had reportedly been active on a school shooting chatroom brought to the FBI's attention last year shot up a high school in Perry, Iowa, on Thursday, murdering a child and grievously injuring several others.

Officials have identified the 11-year-old boy killed in the rampage as Ahmir Jolliff.

As the child's family prepares for his funeral Thursday, various publications continue to recycle the Associated Press' early framing of the shooter as a victim of bullying despite his clear appetite for attacking unarmed innocents.

The shooter and the FBI

A 17-year-old student at Perry High School showed up for the new semester last week armed with a pump-action shotgun, a homemade bomb, and a small-caliber handgun, according to authorities.

Blaze News previously noted that prior to the shooting, the suspect posted a selfie taken inside the school's bathroom to his TikTok account along with the lyrics "now we wait" from the song "Stray Bullet" from the German band KMFDM. The same song was featured on the personal website of one of the shooters behind the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

NBC News reported that before the shooting, the suspect also wrote in a Discord message, "I'm f****** nervous, I'm the bathroom gearing up."

The shooter's Reddit and TikTok accounts, both deactivated shortly after the shooting, revealed that the shooter featured an LGBT activist flag in his bio and indicated he used "he/they" pronouns. Beside engaging online with other LGBT activists about transgenderism, the shooter also used the hashtag "genderfluid" and posted, "[L]ove your trans kids."

The shooter, son of the Perry airport's director and a small business owner, admitted in one Reddit post that a fear of looking ugly prevented him from beginning the sex-change process.

While keen to proudly display an LGBT activist flag in his social media bio, the shooter was evidently not big on intersectionality, having also noted in his Discord correspondence, "There's a n***** in the bathroom, I need him to leave so I can assemble my guns."

A Discord user who saw the shooter in a chatroom dedicated to discussing school shootings called "School Massacres Discussion" told NBC News they reported the chatroom to the FBI in November. The user's report concerning the chatroom did not directly reference the shooter's handle, "took2much." Nevertheless, they shared screenshots with an FBI agent who allegedly never got back in touch. Nevertheless, the chatroom was shut down before the Perry shooting.

The FBI did not respond to NBC News' request for comment.

The shooting

After first lurking in the bathroom and circulating more of his depraved thoughts online, the shooter who may have been known to the FBI opened fire on staff and children around 7:47 a.m., before the start of classes.

Police were quick to respond, rushing into the school "within minutes" of the initial report of an active shooter, according Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Assistant Director Mitch Mortvedt.

Before being able to use his improvised explosive device, which Mortvedt suggested was "pretty rudimentary," the shooter offed himself with a well-placed gunshot to the head.

Of the seven victims who received wounds or injuries, four were students and three were staff members. Two students remain in hospital, one of whom was reportedly shot multiple times. The other two were treated and released.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety indicated that as of Friday, Perry High School principal Dan Marburger was still in critical condition, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators indicated Marburger "acted selflessly and placed himself in harm's way in an apparent effort to protect his students."

A young life cut short

Ahmir Jolliff, known to family and friends as "Smiley" on account of his exuberant disposition, suffered three gunshot wounds, according to the Iowa Department of Public Safety. The boy, a Chicago-born student at Perry Middle School — which is attached to the high school — was in the cafeteria when the trans shooter opened fire.

Jolliff's obituary in the Des Moines Register noted that Jolliff's "love for life was reflected in his diverse array of hobbies, including participating in the choir and band, playing soccer, and immersing himself in the world of video games."

The obituary further indicated that "Ahmir was not just a bright light; he was a steadfast defender of justice. He stood up against bullies, championing those who needed a voice and ensuring that kindness prevailed."

The boy's mother told the Associated Press, which has cast her son's killer as a victim of bullying, "He was so well-loved and he loved everyone."

"He's such an outgoing person," added Erica Jolliff.

A funeral service will take place at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Perry at 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 11. Overflow seating will reportedly be available across the street at First Cristian Church (Disciples of Christ).

Suspected Iowa school shooter's digital footprint indicates his was possibly yet another trans rampage



Students returning to school for their second semester in the small town of Perry, Iowa, were met Thursday morning with gunfire and bloodshed. The suspect responsible for ushering in the new year with senseless violence appears to have been yet another butcher captive to trans ideology.

According to authorities, the 17-year-old suspect, a student at the school, stalked the halls of Perry Middle and High School Thursday morning armed with a pump-action shotgun, a homemade bomb, and a small-caliber handgun. He began opening fire on children and staff around 7:47 a.m., before the start of classes.

Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante indicated the fact classes had not yet begun may have been a limiting factor on the number of victims ultimately attacked, reported Newsweek.

"School didn't start yet, luckily, so there were very few students and faculty in the building, which I think contributed to a good outcome in that sense," said Infante.

The suspect murdered a sixth-grader from Perry Middle School and injured five others, four of whom were students. The fifth victim was identified by the school district as the school's principal, Dan Marburger.

Three of the victims were taken to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines, and others were taken to MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center, reported the Associated Press — a news agency that has attempted to paint the shooter as a victim of bullying.

One of the survivors is in critical condition. The other four are reportedly now in stable condition.

Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement, "Our hearts are broken by this senseless tragedy. Our prayers are with the students, teachers & families of the Perry Community."

Reynolds thanked police and first responders for their fast response, stating, "Their heroic actions today we can say saved lives."

Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Assistant Director Mitch Mortvedt underscored during a press conference Thursday that the response by law enforcement was swift and unflinching. At least 150 law enforcement agents ultimately rushed to the scene.

"Perry Police officers responded within minutes. They immediately made entry and witnessed students and faculty either sheltering in place or running from the school," said Mortvedt. "Once inside, they located multiple individuals with gunshot wounds. Officers immediately attempted to locate the source of the threat and quickly found what appeared to be the shooter with a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

The shooter evidently offed himself before being able to deploy his improvised explosive device against innocents. Mortvedt indicated that the bomb, which was "pretty rudimentary," was successfully neutralized by the state fire marshal and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents.

Investigators are now analyzing the suspect's posts on social media, particularly on Reddit and TikTok — both of which have been deactivated.

Prior to the shooting, the suspect reportedly posted a selfie taken inside the school's bathroom to his TikTok account along with the lyrics "now we wait" from the song "Stray Bullet" from the German band KMFDM.

The New York Post highlighted that that the same song referenced by the suspect was also used on the personal website of one of the shooters behind the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

An archived version of the suspect's TikTok account reveals his bio was limited to an LGBT activist flag emoji. Extra to stating "he/they" pronouns on social media and allegedly engaging with other LGBT activists about transgenderism, the suspect also appears to used the hashtag "genderfluid" and posted, "love your trans kids."

In one of the suspect's alleged Reddit posts, he noted he was being held back from beginning the sex-change process because he didn't "want to look ugly."

While acknowledging that the shooter may have been trans, leftists have rushed to downplay the relevance as well as the corresponding trend.

The Advocate, an LGBT activist publication, stressed, "While there have been isolated incidents involving transgender or nonbinary people in mass shootings, these are not representative of the broader trend."

The 26-year-old behind the Sept. 20, 2018, mass shooting outside a Rite Aid distribution center in Aberdeen, Maryland, was a transvestite who had reportedly been receiving hormone therapy and planning to get a sex change operation.

The woman behind the 2019 STEM School Highlands Ranch mass shooting in Colorado was also a transvestite transitioning at the time she took aim at unarmed students.

The lawyers for the man behind the November 2022 massacre at a non-straight nightclub in Colorado Springs, which left five dead and 25 injured, indicated he identified as non-binary, reported Newsweek.

The female LGBT activist who shot up a Christian elementary school in Nashville last March, killing three children and three adults, was another transvestite who identified as a man.

Angela Ferell-Zaballa, executive director of the gun-grab group Moms Demand Action, told the Advocate, "Extremists often try to muddy the waters by blaming our gun violence crisis on mental health or gender identity, when often people with these lived realities are most likely to be victims of gun violence, rather than perpetrators of it."

Sarah Kate Ellis, president and CEO of GLAAD, stated, "Media outlets that speculate on the shooter's identity or their support of LGBTQ rights instead of focusing on those impacted are contributing to a false and sweeping narrative about vulnerable communities."

The Human Rights Campaign's national propagandist, Brandon Wolf, told the Advocate that Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raichik, among those who have highlighted the suspect's apparent trans-identification, "is using a horrific shooting to try and drum up anti-LGBTQ+ hysteria for her cause. In truth, LGBTQ+ people are disproportionately impacted by gun violence, a reality made worse by those like her, who demonize the community at every turn and peddle dangerous, bogus narratives in exchange for influence."

LGBTQ Nation, which recognized the shooter as "nonbinary," similarly lashed out at those dredging up evidence of his LGBT affinities, noting, "The right-wing focus on gun-toting queers and shooters' mental illness is merely a way to stigmatize queer people while also drawing attention away from gun control regulations that could help stop mass shootings in the first place."
