The Associated Press published an article on January 4th claiming that the latest school shooter was a victim of bullying. The article was quickly picked up and shared across the world.
Yes, you read that right. They spun it to make the shooter the real victim.
Police are yet to provide a motive for the shooting. Two of his friends told The Associated Press that he was a quiet person who had been bullied for years.
“He was hurting. He got tired. He got tired of the bullying. He got tired of the harassment. Was it a smart idea to shoot up the school? No. God, no,” said 17-year-old Yesenia Roeder.
Her sister, Khamya Hall, also echoed the sentiment saying that Butler and his younger sister used to constantly get picked on and bullied.

The mass shooter at Perry High has been identified as 17-year-old senior Dylan Butler, who had a social media footprint showing he identified as trans nonbinary. A student at the Iowa high school he opened fire on the campus just before classes resumed after the winter break at around 7.30 am with a handgun and a shotgun. One person was killed and five others, including the school principal, were injured in the shooting. Students barricaded in offices, ducked into classrooms, and fled in panic as he started firing.
After killing a student and injuring five, he turned the gun on himself.
It has transpired that he was an online LGBTQ activist. His social media accounts (now deleted) showed him in one video play acting with sticks as guns, and in others where he discusses transitioning. Butler had posted a TikTok video from the school bathroom just before he went on a rampage. He captioned the post “Now we wait” while the song ‘Stray Bullet’ played in the background.

Is there a pattern here?
It would appear that the modern LGBTQ+ movement is radicalizing our youth into becoming violent extremists. As usual the gun control zealots are using this shooting tragedy to support their push to snatch our firearms, instead of looking to the root of the problem which is the left’s enabling of mentally ill children and the failure of parents to supervise their children and weapons.
Some gays don’t like it much either
We have learned that the deranged Iowa school shooter was also part of the LGBTQIA+ community. From his now deleted TikTok account, it seems he considered himself "genderfluid," and he posted in support of "trans kids" as well.
