Pair of 15-year-old females accused of conspiring to carry out school shooting; they allegedly had a hit list

2 weeks 5 days ago


A pair of 15-year-old females are accused of conspiring to carry out a school shooting in Southern California — and they allegedly had a hit list.

Authorities said the investigation began Oct. 6 after the FBI alerted the Corona Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff's Office about social media threats targeting Corona High School, KABC-TV reported.

'The average suspect that commits a crime like this is going to do it independently or by themselves, and it is not very common for them to be females.'

Detectives arrested a female who attends Corona High School, the station said, adding that detectives then identified and arrested another girl who attends Norco High School after a search of several homes in Riverside County and an examination of electronic devices and messages.

KABC, citing police, said search warrants uncovered evidence that the teenage females had spent several months researching school shootings and discussing how they could potentially carry out an attack at Corona High School.

The investigation also revealed the pair discussed how they could obtain weapons to carry out the attack, police told the station.

Authorities said no weapons were found during the home searches, KABC noted, adding that both teens remain in custody on charges of conspiracy to commit murder.

KCBS-TV reported that the Riverside County District Attorney's Office said it couldn't confirm the charges or the suspects' identities because of their ages.

"The average suspect that commits a crime like this is going to do it independently or by themselves, and it is not very common for them to be females," Corona Police Lt. Robert Montanez told KCBS, while adding that the suspects had a map of the high school campus and ways to get around the law and acquire guns, as well as "specifics how they would carry out the attack."

KCBS added that the teens allegedly had a list of targets that included both students and teachers — and potentially were planning some sort of revenge.

Research cited by NPR found that only about 3% of school shootings involve female perpetrators, KABC reported.

Those with information about this case are urged to call Corona Police Det. Edwards at 951-279-3656 or email george.edwards@coronaca.gov, KABC added.

John Doyle: Red-pilling the masses may have been a mistake

2 weeks 5 days ago


The decline of mainstream media was supposed to create a better-informed public. Instead, the “red-pilling” of the masses — which BlazeTV host John Doyle calls “normies” — have caused them to trade one media bubble for another.

“It hasn’t made them better informed. It hasn’t made them better at critical thinking. They are looking at the reflexive impulse some people have to believe everything, and they have the same reflexive impulse to disbelieve everything, but they are not actually seeking truth independently,” Doyle argues.

He likens it to being in the “labyrinth.”

“I’m in the labyrinth. ... I’m seeking the truth. What happens if a bunch of r*****ed people are now in the labyrinth with me? Do you think they’re going to be better able to navigate?” he asks.


“Do you think that they’re going to be able to arrive at the truth? No,” he answers. “They’re going to freak out and be anxious all the time and spur out, and they’re going to summon the Minotaur with their screaming and their crying and their complaining. This is not actually good.”

These people, he says, “would be better if they were just watching CNN because CNN will rack up all of the dubs from the Trump administration.”

“They will talk about the greatest effort to combat legal immigration in a century,” he explains, noting that while “everything is going so well,” no one wants to know it.

“People want the mythology. They want to be entertained. They want to think that guy that they trusted actually freaking betrayed them,” he says.

“When you’re arguing with a normie, when you are arguing with an Instagram-Reels American, guess what you’re arguing with? You’re arguing with Instagram Reels, and the reels cannot hear you,” he continues.

Doyle uses the Epstein files as an example, saying, “You still have people bringing this up.”

“They talk about the Epstein class,” he says. “Even leftist politicians, you know, people who like openly advocate for the mass importation of the demographics most likely to traffic children. Complete amnesty for the demographics most likely to engage in the abuse of children.”

“They literally want to pass laws to make this no longer illegal. Anyway, these people are now very concerned about the Epstein class,” he continues.

“They want to believe that all of these people, even if they’re evil, are in control and everything that’s going on is going, you know perfectly according to their plan. And that’s because they have these feelings, maybe because of their own incompetence or their own failures,” he adds.

These “red-pilled normies,” he says, “want to believe they don’t have agency in their own lives.”

“And so the solution is just to keep bitching on the internet and do nothing and wait for some kind of collapse,” he adds.
