The violent deaths linked to the group known as Zizians stopped at six a year ago, after a U.S. border agent was killed and three members were arrested on trespassing and gun charges in the woods of western Maryland. Seven of the group’s members are jailed in three states, all awaiting trial.

I can’t remember a year ago the local high school students walking out in protest in reaction to the murder of Border Patrol Agent David Maland by a gang of transgendered thugs

It’s not a crime problem. It’s war and should be approached as such.

Grok:

Yes, many (and by most accounts, the majority) of the people associated with the group known as the Zizians are transgender or non-binary.

The Zizians are a small, informal offshoot of the rationalist community, centered around the writings and influence of Jack “Ziz” LaSota (who identifies as a transgender woman and uses she/her pronouns). The group has been linked in media reports and court documents to a series of violent incidents and deaths in the US (though not all allegations have resulted in convictions as of early 2026).
Reliable sources, including Wikipedia’s summary (drawing from news reporting), describe the group as mostly transgender or non-binary. Specific examples frequently mentioned in coverage include:

• Ziz LaSota herself (transgender woman)

• Ophelia Bauckholt (transgender woman, also referred to in some documents by her pre-transition name Felix)

• Several other named associates involved in related cases (e.g., Emma Borhanian, Gwen Danielson, Alexander Leatham, and others described as trans women in investigative reporting from outlets like WIRED, The New York Times, BBC, PBS, and others)

Media often characterizes the group as having a high proportion of trans members — sometimes phrasing it as “mostly trans women” or “a group of mostly trans women” in headlines and descriptions — alongside their other shared traits like ethical veganism, anarchism, transhumanism, and extreme rationalist/AI-risk beliefs.

Not every single person loosely connected is necessarily trans (some reports mention a mix, and the group is small and informal), but the prominent figures and the core circle are consistently described that way across mainstream reporting.

The group does not formally call themselves “Zizians” (that’s an external label), and they reject being characterized as a cohesive “cult” with a single leader — but the transgender identity aspect is a recurring, well-documented feature in virtually all coverage of them.

Sounds like a bunch of aliens from another planet... or viceous demons from the underworld. Either way, they certainly need to be dealt with.

I like when the miscreants list their pronouns, they say “she/her.” Would someone make a faux pas and use “she/him”?

“It’s war and should be approached as such.”

We need smart strategy and tactics, not cheerleaders to cheer and boo.

Tatically we need to avoid the game of TAR BABY where the opponent looks ugly...so we kick TAR BABY and get stuck. This is the #1 lesson of recent MN.

We need to avoid the game of BRER RABBIT who pleads not to throw him into the briar patch.

Ah yes. Zizians from the planet Zizia, in the Quaxakturan system in the 3rd quadrant of the Lorentian galaxy in the Xarenitang nebula. Wacky bunch of merry pranksters they are...especially the southern clans.

The Zizians are an offshoot of Antifa/Trantifa.
They all should just be housed in Gitmo because they are terrorists and enemy combatants and the democrats use them in their civil war against the USA.

We’re in a war against violent anti-Americans and democrat leaders are RESPONSIBLE.

“Renee Good is probably dead because the regime has so far been able to get away with murdering Ms. Bauckholt & framing Youngblut,” Zajko claimed. Good was fatally shot last month by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis. Neither ICE nor border patrol officials responded to messages seeking comment.
