    I have made contact with the alleged boyfriend of the Wisconsin shooter.

    He has very graciously provided me the full manifesto, which I verified by having him screen record himself opening it from a direct link the shooter sent to him via WhatsApp.

    I told him I would do my best to dispel some of the misinformation and present things as truthfully as I was given them, and I will hold myself to that.

    - Her boyfriend knew her as Samantha Rupnow.

    - She also went by a different name (one which was also feminine), but adopted the name "Samantha" and this was the name her boyfriend says she had on her school identification card.

    - She was a student at Abundant Life.

    - She was born on November 7, 2009.

    - She was born female and was not transgender. Her boyfriend was born male and is not transgender.

    - Her manifesto was titled "War Against Humanity."

    - Her manifesto is 6 pages long.

    - In her manifesto, she spoke about having extremely difficult relationship with her parents, who she referred to as "scum."

    - She also claims her family didn't love her or want her, and expresses feeling like the "wrong child" of her family.

    - She says she had planned to commit suicide a long time ago, but felt committing a shooting was “better for evolution rather than just one stupid boring suicide.”

    - She expresses deep admiration for Pekka Eric Auvinen, Arda Küçükyetim, and Vladislav Roslyakov.

    - She offered particular praise for Küçükyetim, who was a Turkish neo-nazi who committed a mass attack in Eskişehir earlier this year, and stated he was an inspiration to her. She calls him “an ultimate saint.”

    - She expressed that she got the weapons to commit the attack through "lies, manipulation, and my father's stupidity.”

    More to come shortly. I will make some screenshots of the manifesto.

    In the interim….

    Her boyfriend says the photo that is making the rounds is not how he remembers her, and believes it was somewhat edited “to make her look worse.”

    He provided me a photo of her in the same t-shirt and room.

    I still wonder how she got the gun. If it was owned by her parents I hope they serve time. Too many mentally ill people are getting their hands on guns, and often from home in these situations with kids.. It's terrible that we see so many of these stories in a civilized country with so much money and more focus on pushing guns than pushing for more mental healthcare facilities, more red flag laws in schools, on the Internet, and in general to spot potential dangerous people, and getting them help, or off the streets, along with affordable mental healthcare. Going to a Christian school or putting bibles in schools doesn't make a mentally ill person sane. I'm sure that sending thoughts and prayers will be all we get once again from those with NRA money funding their agendas, and more concern over making money than spending it where it matters most.

    On her bday last year she posted a gif of loading handgun saying happy birthday to me...

    Doesn't mean she got one, but possible. I agree gun owners have a responsibility to keep guns out of the hands of others.

    Yeah I’m sure there’s more than zero people that feel that way. But Hey!! Quite paradoxically, I know a way you can feel better instantly. Just pretend that a future CEO was killed today and rejoice! Then you can enjoy the holidays as you wear your favorite reindeer sweater, sip earl grey, and snuggle in with chowd to watch the view.

    Are they required to state if each person is or isn’t transgender?

    There were "rumors" going around the Internet to try and push an anti-trans agenda.

    That crap gets old. What's the obsession of trying to decide if a shooter is trans? To deflect from our ridiculous amount of school shootings in a country full of crazies with easy access to guns?

    I cannot understand the obsession with .01% of the population . . and I'm generous with that number
    I would also suspect that about 99% of them live in urban environments that most of the country probably never even visit


    If this is true . .. the Biden Admin has to hold this L

    [
    Its been hard for Biden to get any more mental healthcare funding, or eliminate loophole gun sales, pass more red flag laws, or stricter gun laws. The majority of Republicans fight tooth and nail against any of that, and take pride in it. Look at how they vote. It's hard to get past a MAGA House with anything like that, and the GOP Senators aren't much better.

    205 Republicans voted against the bill to Expand School Mental Health Services. The Mental Health Matters Act passed 220 to 205 on a largely party line vote, with all 205 “no” votes coming from Republicans. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania) cast the sole Republican “yes” vote.

    The Biden administration did provide more than $200 million to support youth mental health last year. There's only so much Democrats can do with Republicans fighting against it all. It's not from lack of trying, and certainly not because he scoffs it all off and just sends thoughts and prayers every time it happens.

    I don't disagree with anything you said
    Unfortunately people are not looking for that level of nuance.
    so Biden will take this hit

    Just look at our resident MAGAs...... they openly post about their obsession with the correct orientation of children's genitalia among other homoerotic machinations.
