A transgender Colorado teenager who admitted to plotting mass shootings targeting at least three schools — and who had penned a chilling manifesto praising infamous killers — has been sentenced to six years in prison. Lilly Whitworth, 19, born William, learned her fate in an Elbert County courtroom Tuesday. She was given credit of 306 days for time served from the time of her arrest in March 2023. Given Whitworth’s transgender status, it was not immediately clear whether she would be sent to a women’s prison or a men’s facility. A spokesperson for the 18th Judicial District’s Attorney’s Office, which...

Newly uncovered photos and online accounts purportedly associated with the Wisconsin teen school shooter suggest a deeply disturbing obsession with other school shooters such as Columbine killer Eric Harris — and even show her wearing a t-shirt of his favorite band. A now-eerie snapshot of Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, 15, was posted on her father’s Facebook page and shows her aiming a rifle at a shooting range wearing a shirt from the German industrial rock band KMFDM. Harris was seen in photos also wearing one of the band’s T-shirts before he and Dylan Klebold went on to murder 13 people in...

Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn) announced himself "pleased with the outcome of my vice-presidential candidate debate with Senator JD Vance (R-OH). I know some of the pundits figure he scored more points than I did, but I achieved my two key objectives." "First, I believe my humble admission that I am a 'knucklehead' forged a strong bond with the majority of male voters across the nation," Walz boasted. "Most of the guys I served with in the National Guard were knuckleheads. Almost every guy's wife thinks he is a knucklehead. I am solidly within the ranks of the vast majority of...

Former President Donald Trump poked fun at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for saying that he’s “become friends with school shooters.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump shared a photo of a Trump Vance 2024 sign with the words, “Not friends with school shooters.” Trump’s post came after Walz stated during the vice presidential debate with Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), that he had “become friends with school shooters.” As Breitbart News previously reported, Walz’s comments were made “while trying to explain why he flip-flopped his position against an ‘assault weapons’ ban and now supports such a ban.” When asked...

There are bad debates. Then there are massacres. Then there's what happened to Tim Walz as he imploded all over the stage during his debate with JD Vance.

An ex-inmate has revealed how different types of criminals are treated in prison based on their crimes - from 'school shooters' who are brutally 'tortured beyond means' to 'child molesters' who are beaten to death.

He spent three years in juvenile detention and six years in prison for burglary of a dwelling, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and three counts of possessing a controlled...

About a week ago, authorities responded to a report of children living in New Mexico in filthy conditions, starving, and exposed to physical dangers. What authorities found was even more disturbing: an “extremist Muslim” compound where children were being tortured, brainwashed and trained to kill teachers, law enforcement and others with whom the Islamists didn't agree. On Monday, Judge Sarah Backus, an elected Democrat, released the five adult men and women responsible for running this operation, on bail. She explained that although she was concerned by “troubling facts” and that these people were "living in a very unconventional way,” prosecutors did...

Following the most recent school mass shooting – this time in Santa Fe, Texas, where 10 students and teachers were killed and 10 were wounded Friday – family members, friends and investigators find themselves searching for illusive answers. Why did this happen? How do you make sense of such a senseless tragedy? Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pointed out that unlike other recent mass shootings, “there were not those types of warning signs. The red-flag warnings were either nonexistent or very imperceptible.” The accused shooter’s parents said the media reports of the shooting seemed “incompatible with the boy (they) love,” and...

Today's political correctness is on steroids thanks to the left and Democrats who politicize everything Since the 1999 school shooting in Columbine, CO, it appears that a typecast of the shooters has emerged: teen boys who are depressed, isolated, medicated, jilted, have absentee or divorced parents, and play violent video games. he latest school shooter opened fire at Santa Fe High School in Texas on last Friday, killing 10 and wounding 13. Police arrived on scene and engaged in a 30-minute shootout. The shooter targeted and murdered a teen girl who rebuffed his advances.

"I wrote in some detail and with some depth about motivation for the mass slaughter of innocents in my new book. Because of what happened all-too-recently and brutally in Parkland -- because of what keeps happening -- I thought I would read the relevant chapter (Rule 6: Put your house in perfect order before you criticize the world) and release it on YouTube. I regard the mass shootings as symptomatic of the nihilism and psychological confusion that so deeply characterizes our society at the current time."

A Pennsylvania school district has armed its students with rocks to defend themselves in the event of a school shooting. David Helsel, the superintendent of Blue Mountain School District in Schuylkill County, said at a state House Education Committee hearing on school safety this week that his district's classrooms are equipped with 5-gallon buckets of river rocks. "If an armed intruder attempts to gain entrance to any of our classrooms, they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks," he said. "And they will be stoned." Helsel emphasized to Buzzfeed News that the so-called "go buckets" are a...

Another shooting, another son of divorce. From Adam Lanza, who killed 26 children and adults a year ago at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Conn., to Karl Pierson, who shot a teenage girl and killed himself this past Friday at Arapahoe High in Centennial, Colo., one common and largely unremarked thread tying together most of the school shooters that have struck the nation in the last year is that they came from homes marked by divorce or an absent father. From shootings at MIT (i.e., the Tsarnaev brothers) to the University of Central Florida to the Ronald E. McNair Discovery...
