Maryland transgender teen, 18, is arrested for planning school shooting because he 'wants to be...

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] ….he 'wants to be famous' as cops find 130-page manifesto detailing twisted fantasy of trans character who wants to 'cherry pick kids' classrooms to massacre'
  • Andrea Ye, 18, whose preferred name is Alex, has been charged with making threats of mass violence

  • Cops found a 'manifesto' written which 'strategized how to carry out the act'

Montgomery County Public Schools told Fox that Ye is an active student at Wootton High School in Rockville but has been attending through a virtual program and hadn't been on campus physically since 2022.

Police reportedly said in court records that Ye's sex is female but he uses male pronouns.

After the FBI alerted Montgomery County Police to the manifesto, they obtained a search warrant and found internet searches, drawings and documents related to threats of mass violence.

Ye reportedly put a disclaimer in the book saying it doesn't 'represent the author's beliefs' but a witness - who first contacted authorities in early March - raised concerns that the manifesto bore 'striking similarities' to Ye.

The witness believed the writings indicated Ye was prepared to carry out a mass shooting imminently, according to court documents seen by ABC.

Authorities said they had determined that the manifesto appears to have 'portions of fictional and non-fictional qualities'.

Court documents state that the witness told police that Ye's 'memoir' was about 'a transgender main character' named 'James Wang'.

They said that 'Wang' was 'being bullied in school and other issues that [the witness] believed were directly from Ye's life and not indicative of fiction.'

According to ABC, the manifesto described how the character would 'cherry pick the classrooms that are the easiest targets' and said: 'I have also considered shooting up my former elementary school because little kids make easier targets.'

Authorities said they found social media posts and searches by Ye allegedly looking up 'gun range near me,' and the phrase 'But, I do recognize that my plan is fully unethical. It's selfish and evil', according to court documents seen by ABC.

The documents reportedly show Ye telling an online user: 'My homicidal ideation has been getting worse lately to the point I might act on it eventually,' and then later adding: 'I'd want to kill a lot of people or it wouldn't be worth it.'

#10  Big Thank you to the person, presumably an instagram follower of Ye, who called the FBI.

#9  She's totally on her meds.

It's an AWFL fad. The 'fathers' who go along with it are henpecked, brow-beaten, and threatened with divorce or even (made up) abuse charges.

Dammit! Nickleback was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual!

#7  The goal of persons who don't have any accomplishments seems to be to become a celebrity.
Me, I strive to be as anonymous as possible.

Those kids have to take whatever grift they can find.

It’s a fad, fed by leftwing and/or terrorized parents, teachers, and medical and psych. professionals.
