Trans school shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar had obsession with drugs and guns, chilling social media archives show
NY Post ^ | 02/12/2026 | Chris Nesi

Deranged trans gunman Jesse Van Rootselaar’s alarming social media footprint paints a portrait of a deeply disturbed young man with a fixation on hallucinogenic drugs and guns — dating back years before he murdered eight people in one of the worst massacres in Canadian history.

He was a regular contributor on Reddit, and many of his archived posts viewed by The Post, and first confirmed by the Telegraph, include questions — and disturbing revelations — about his extensive drug use.

“Yo what’s the danger in using 5-MeO-DMT alone?” he asked in a November 2023 thread, referring to a potent hallucinogen nicknamed “toad venom” and described by some experts as the “Mount Everest of psychedelics.”

“Genuinely don’t know, not tryna die. I do N,N-DMT frequently and it seems to be completely safe for me,” he said, referencing other powerful hallucinogenic substances.

He also said he was on psychiatric medications, including Zoloft, and in another post claimed to have been diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, major depressive disorder and autism spectrum disorder.

“I am on Sertraline 280mg (SSRI) I on rare occasion take 2mg of Risperidone for sleep purposes (Anti-Psychotic) I also smoke a decent bit of weed,” he wrote, noting he previously had a “complete mental break” while taking a moderate dose of magic mushrooms.

In a post from October 2023, he asks whether it’s safe for him to continue to experiment with psychedelics after claiming to have “burnt my house down my second time trying shrooms.”

“Hi, I’m gonna keep this brief. It’s 4am, got out of the psyche ward like a month ago and now I’m here,” the post starts.

I think I solved the mystery, Scooby.

Booboo asks Yogi about “Them”.

“Them” is left unspecified. There are several groups of “Them”.

Here is the Mayo Clinic's discussion> of Sertraline. They caution against use in combination with Risperidone. They list loss of sexual desire, aggressive reaction, and mood or behavior changes among a huge list of side-effects.

This creature was being poisoned.

Hmmm. “Transgender” (dude pretending to be a woman), with a “fixation on hallucinogenic drugs and guns”, shoots up a school.

How about we not do that Them, Yogi and Booboo thing at all, and just say the name of whatever group you are referring to? We are all adults here-please just stop trying to be cute...

Sure. Transexuals and homosexuals are committing murder of multiple people per incident in numbers far greater than their presence in the general population.

Illegal aliens are committing murder, rape, and other violent crimes in numbers far greater than their presence in the general population.

Blacks are committing murder, rape, and other violent crimes in numbers far greater than their presence in the general population.

Your turn ...

Cops were called to his home on several occasions and the dude spent time in psychiatric facilities on more than one occasion...

So there was obviously no clues whatsoever that he would eventually turn into a full blown psycho and they knew he was mentally deranged and had access to weapons... So what could possibly go wrong?

The idiot press keeps saying it was done by a female. No. It was done by a male.

Thank you, sir! Just the whole truth and no polite cuteness. I call illegal aliens “mojados”-not a nice term-but maybe that is just a Hispanic thing...

It reminds me of political correctness, which I think is pointless...

Mojados == wetbacks?

It’s starting to look like overstays and other abusers of the visa system may exist in much greater numbers than border-jumpers.
