Law enforcement in Virginia just arrested a 19-year-old biological male who identifies as female after he allegedly planned a mass shooting at John Champe High School in Aldie, Virginia — right outside Washington, D.C. His name is Hadyn Dollery, and he worked at the school as an unlicensed substitute teacher.
Another one. That’s all we can say at this point. Another one.
Dollery was reportedly bragging about his plans on Discord — because apparently these lunatics can’t resist posting about their kill lists on the internet — and someone flagged it through Virginia’s Safe2Talk tip line. Police moved fast, arrested him Thursday, and he’s now sitting in a cell without bond on charges of threatening bodily harm.
So let’s hand it to law enforcement here. The cops did exactly what we always say we want them to do: they got a tip, they took it seriously, they moved quickly, and they stopped a massacre before it happened. No committees. No task forces. No “further study.” Just police doing police work. Bravo.
Now let’s talk about the part that every newsroom in America is going to sprint away from like their hair is on fire.
This keeps happening. We all see it. A pattern has emerged involving transgender individuals and school shootings — planned or carried out — and the mainstream media treats each incident like it’s the first time. They cover it for about six hours, scrub the pronouns, and move on before anyone can connect the dots.
We’re not allowed to talk about it. That’s the rule. Every other demographic gets profiled, studied, analyzed, and dissected when a pattern emerges — but this particular pattern? Nope. Off limits. The conversation is closed before it starts because someone might get their feelings hurt.
(Meanwhile, parents are supposed to just keep dropping their kids off at school and hope for the best. Cool system we’ve got here.)
Dollery was working inside this school. An unlicensed substitute teacher with access to students, classrooms, and the building layout. He had a kill list. And if some brave person hadn’t used that tip line, we’d be watching parents sprint toward police tape on CNN right now instead of reading about a successful arrest.
That’s the thing about these stories. When the cops stop it in time, it gets a headline for half a day and disappears. There’s no wall-to-wall coverage. No tearful press conferences. No politicians demanding action. Because the action that was needed — law enforcement doing its job — already happened, and that doesn’t fit the narrative that we need to ban everything and federalize everything.
The heroes here are the person who saw something and said something through Safe2Talk, and the cops who didn’t wait around for a committee meeting to decide whether the threat was credible. They moved. They stopped it. A school full of kids in Aldie, Virginia, is safe today because someone picked up the phone and the police picked up the pace.
We should celebrate that. We should blast this story from every rooftop. Instead, watch it vanish from the news cycle by Monday morning while the media goes back to covering whatever Trump said on Truth Social.
Every parent in America deserves to know about this arrest — and about the pattern behind it. But you won’t hear about it on the evening news. You heard about it here.
