On Saturday a man was arrested in Massachusetts for allegedly stabbing four school-age girls at an AMC movie theater in Braintree, and then two other people at a McDonalds in Plymouth. For the first twenty-four hours the suspect wasn’t identified.

When Vlad and I discussed it on Skype, I said the perp must be a Muslim, since his name had not been announced. If he had been called Caruthers J. Fotheringay III, we would have heard about it right away.

But then again, he might have just been a common or garden loony; it was hard to tell.

However, last night The Post Millennial broke the news — it was a tranny named Jared Ravizza:

Obama-supporting male ‘artist’ with ‘she’ in bio goes on Boston stabbing spree, 4 girls hospitalized

If I’d really been on the ball, I would have thought of that. These days, when they don’t give out any perp info, it’s as likely to be a trans thing as it is a Muslim thing. Two groups that can do no wrong, so when they do, it has to be hushed up.

The legacy media were still shying away from that aspect of the story. In this CBS article, the only signal is the “they” pronoun used for the perp.

But mostly the MSM outlets are not even doing that. For example, in this Boston 25 piece, zhe is identified as “he” throughout.

This morning The Boston Globe reported that Jared Ravizza had been released from the hospital and was being held in jail without bond. And a new wrinkle was added to the case: police in Connecticut seem to be considering zher a suspect in a separate fatal stabbing.

Later today The New York Post broke the trans angle of the case wide open:

The Massachusetts knifeman accused of stabbing six people, including three children, and suspected of killing another, appears to have been in the process of changing their identity.

Jared Ravizza, 26, swapped shirtless selfies showing off a gym-honed torso as recently as September 2023 for ones wearing lipgloss, face glitter and painted pink nails.

Ravizza also describes themselves as “she” on Instagram and court documents obtained by The Post show paperwork was filed for a legal name change from Jared Christian Ravizza Jones to Jared Love Jones just last month.

Ravizza is being investigated over a murder in Connecticut after cops found a body in the tiny town of Deep River around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to Boston 25 news.

Ravizza is then accused of laughing as he stabbed four little girls aged between 9 and 17 as they watched the movie “IF” at a theater outside Boston — then attacking two other people at a McDonald’s, according to cops.

None of the victims’ injuries were life-threatening and they were treated at a hospital, according to local reports.

Jared Ravizza is just the latest example of something that has long seemed obvious to me: the “trans” phenomenon is a form of profound mental illness. Trans people are a tiny percentage of the population, but they seem to be significantly overrepresented among perpetrators of sick, violent crimes.

Mind you, we don’t yet know whether Citizen Ravizza committed those Boston-area crimes. We must remember that it is innocent until proven guilty.
