Woke Police Chief Claims School Shooter’s Trans Identity Irrelevant, Slams ‘Biases’

Amid speculation that the latest school shooting at a Christian school in a deep-blue community may have involved another transgender terrorist, the police chief in Madison, Wisc., said the suspect’s gender confusion was irrelevant to the case.

The suspect, identified as Natalie Samantha Rupnow, reportedly opened fire in a study hall at the Abundant Life Christian School on Monday, killing a substitute teacher and a fellow student, and leaving others critically injured. Rupnow then committed suicide.

As noted by David Riedman, founder of the K-12 School Shooting Database, female school shooters have historically been an extremely rare phenomenon.

“Most school shooters are male and in their teens or early 20s,” Riedman wrote. “However, over the last 50 years, at least four planned school shootings have involved female attackers.”

In Rupnow’s case, rumors circulating online hinted at the presence of a manifesto, as well as speculation that the suspect may have been a biological male.

As if to confirm those suspicions, woke police chief Shon Barnes promptly dismissed the theories out of pocket.

“I don’t know whether Natalie was transgender or not. And quite frankly, I don’t think that’s important at all,” Barnes said during a press conference Monday, according to the Daily Mail.

He then lashed out at the reporters insinuating that it might be a relevant detail in the investigation.

“I wish people would leave their own personal biases—we have lost members of our community,” Barnes said. “It’s something that may come out later, but for what we’re doing today it is of no consequence at this time.”

If confirmed, however, Rupnow would follow a growing pattern that, at the very least, suggested a correlation—if not a causal relationship—between transgender identity in teens and young adults with instances of mass violence.

The most notable of these was the Nashville shooting at the Covenant School last year, in which 28-year-old former student Audrey Hale, a biological female who identified as a man, killed three 9-year-old children and three adults.

Police quickly moved to cover up the lengthy manifesto that Hale left behind, which painted the trans community in a negative light and revealed that the act had been carefully planned to inflict suffering on the innocent children.

In another incident last year, the father of 14-year-old mass-shooter Colt Gray suggested that the son may be transgender, sparking a furious wave of reactions in the media, including a Reuters “fact check” to clarify that most mass shooters are not transgender.

Meanwhile, The Advocate, an LGBT niche publication, accused conservatives of “lying” to score points and insisted that Gray was, in fact, “transphobic.”

Headline USA has previously reported on several other cases appearing to be interconnected in which vulnerable individuals—many of them teen outcasts or those struggling with pre-existing mental-health issues—may have been recruited to commit acts of mass violence via online communities such as the social-media gaming platform Discord.

In some cases, there may also be a connection to a combination of medications such as anti-depressants or, perhaps, puberty blockers.

However, Barnes, the police chief, reassured the public that nothing of the sort was part of his investigation.

“I don’t think whatever happened today has anything to do with how she or he or they may want to identify,” he said at Monday’s press conference. “For what we’re doing right now, today, literally eight hours after a mass shooting in a school in Madison, it is of no consequence at this time.”

Barnes, who served as captain of the police force in Greensboro, N.C., was previously passed over for the top jobs in Chicago and San Jose, but is currently in the vetting process to become the police chief in Seattle—a city that has faced recruiting struggles with law-enforcement since the 2020 “Summer of Love,” during which it allowed insurrectionists to occupy a police precinct and surrounding neighborhood for several weeks.

In 2022, Barnes was cleared in an investigation following allegations that he had created a hostile work environment by asking a former employee about her love life during an exit interview.

I have a bias.

And when my own government and law enforcement begins, giving me real, accurate information about things, I will rely less on my own bias.

Until then, I have a bias. And I have biases for valid reasons. It’s called survival.

“...the police chief in Madison, Wisc., said the suspect’s gender confusion was irrelevant to the case.”

Wow, that’s an amazing conclusion reached less than 24 hours after the event took place.

He must be an incredibly astute and educated expert in that field to reach such a definitive determination in such a short period of time.

As long as woke individuals such as this bizarre police chief hold positions of power and influence, America will continue to suffer.

But if a white cop kills a black criminal in five minutes we know the cop was hunting blacks.

This Barnes guy sounds perfect for Seattle. How soon can we get him?

The medication she was on is very relevant. This is another project for JFK.

THEY NEED TO REQUIRE A FULL BLOOD ANALYSIS and medical history of anyone charged with murder or manslaughter.

Would make for some interesting correlation analysis.

I was think about transgender from the start because it is a trend.

“...speculation that the suspect may have been a biological male.”

Sure, people speculate, but is there evidence?

Someone on another thread had posted some answers to questions that were posed to the supposed boyfriend.

The boyfriend states that this person wasnt transgender and some people accept that.

Some people are insisting that this person was.

Based on the certain elements on this persons the thought process from the manifesto the answer to that question may not be that simple.

There are 3 items in particular that were mentioned that sound familiar to the beliefs of some people Ive known.

Without going into detail, these people Im talking about are quite sure they are somehow transgender/fluid and will become violent when confronted on this but when they are able to engage in a relationship with the opposite sex are just as offended when someone suggests that they once claimed to be something else.

So the boyfriend doesnt necessarily actually know because the other person doesnt necessarily accept the truth and can flip from one to the other based on something as little as the proximity or the partner.

I also heard him pushing gun control by basically stating the 2nd Am. is an outdated concept because it was written over 200 years ago.

We need to start seriously looking at the psychological damage the schools are doing when teaching the secularist wokeism. The gender bender garbage is not helping anyone, it’s just causing unneeded confusion at a very vulnerable stage of life for kids.

Apparently not.

In the past, she would have been classified as mentally ill based on her confused gender.

Heeeey, wait a minute...

I thought the Law barred people that are mentally ill from owning for even possessing a weapon... Don’t need new laws, need to enforce the ones on hand.

BTW - this tranny got her gat from Daddy. Talk about denial....

Well, since he’s “woke”, he - by definition - cannot tell a woman from a man.
