Following the violent attack by a student shooting a homemade weapon at Woepine High School last week, an inquiry has begun into one of the teachers who had associations with the alleged student attacker. The young woman remains in hospital. Peter Sherman (formerly Rhonda Sherman, following a recent public transition), who was injured in the attack while attempting to prevent the homemade firearm from being activated, also remains in serious condition at hospital and yet has come under fire by the school board for allowing students—including the student in question—after-hours access to an art studio where police suspect the weapon that was used in the attack was made.

A spokesperson for the school board explained that this access was not in the best interests of the students or their safety and that the policy around student access to dangerous equipment will be reexamined.

“We are all still healing from the shock of this tragedy in our small school and are trying to find out how something like this happened,” she stated in an interview with CBC.

While administration and parents were aware of a culture of pranking at the school and were taking steps to change it, neither seemed to be fully aware of the scope of it, nor the specific actions perpetuated on anyone’s or any group’s behalf. (cont’d)

T0r0nt01987: Big shock: a girl attacks other kids and goes fucking nuts and now she’s the SJW’s new feminazi hero claiming rape culture bullshit is the reason. If she was a guy they’d have cut off his balls.

URM0MStit: Rape culture is feminist for “Oops I drank too much.” She couldn’t fire the gun properly surprise surprise

Y3sIsaidiT50: Here she is in all her ugly glory (jpg) after passing out like a lightweight.

Ch3rryp0p: She’s fucked up. And now there’s a tranny teacher involved in the whole thing. I call bullshit.

I am everywhere online. I am a hero, a slut, a troll, a waste of space; people feel pity and anger and fascination with me. People hope I die. People wish I’d shot myself. People want whoever assaulted me to die, the privileged bros to die. People say it’s about time a girl did this, that they aren’t surprised a girl did this. People can’t believe a girl did this. People say of course a girl did this. I couldn’t even do it right. DIY gun guys mansplain the hell out of why my weapon blew up. People write think pieces on marginalized people seeking revenge. People talk about race and rape and shootings. People call me a terrorist and a feminist; people say they are the same word.
