THREAD 🧵 Report: 16-year-old Desmond Holly, who opened fire at Evergreen High School, wounding two students before taking his own life, was influenced by indoctrination, addiction, and brainwashing on the TikTok platform. There were also signs of his intentions months before he took action on September 10th.

Furthermore, Evergreen High School not only reportedly failed to teach students how to properly respond to emergencies but also had no school security on the premises when the incident occurred. This safety issue had been raised by local activists and parents for nearly a year with Jeffco Schools.

The ADL pushed a narrative of “white supremacy” as the main motivator for Holly’s actions. However, the only evidence provided was badges on Desmond’s collected gear, which he seemed excited about. His excitement stemmed not from their ideological meaning but from their association with prior shooters. Desmond was a copycat, encouraged by others in the TikTok community who called him a “hero” and urged him to “make a move.”

Holly particularly admired 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow. Like Nashville school sh00ter Solomon Henderson, Holly took a copycat photo mimicking Rupnow in the mirror, just as Henderson had done.

I am in contact with a local attorney in the community and much of the following is based on data he has provided to me.

According to multiple activists and local authorities who have tried to raise the alarm, Jeffco Schools have lacked proper security for nearly a year (11 months).

Holly arrived with a revolver and had time to fire multiple rounds, reload, and fire again. Once outside, he turned the weapon on himself.

There have been no school resource officers (SROs) for 11 months. According to reports, road deputies stop in during the day and are only part-time. Just before the shooting, the deputy had left to respond to a car crash.

The school district is allegedly paying for half of SROs’ salaries. I am sending an open records request to verify this information. Many retired officers and veterans have offered their services, but child safety does not seem to be the school’s top priority.

In 2022, questions were raised during a board meeting with Jeffco Schools regarding the “potential trauma that drills could cause on children”.

Liberal women testified, stating that drills caused “depression and anxiety”

Like Nashville school shooter Solomon Henderson, Holly took a copycat photo mimicking Rupnow in the mirror. In the circled area, you can see the hashtag for the true crime community of TikTok.

If Holly had truly been doing this for the sake of White supremacy, we would find messaging all over his descriptions and hashtags, but instead it would seem that he was more obsessed with accomplishing violent actions that he was watching repeatedly on the Tiktok platform. Including in the true crime community.

He was also a member of the website “WatchPeopleDlE”. He was addicted to this forum where users can post and view real images and videos of violence, including murders, torture, r*pe, executions.

This is Desmond’s Holly’s bizarre view history on TikTok.

Below are just a few samples of videos that Desmond would share and repost. Again, no signs of white supremacy, but a clear obsession with vioIence.

Even worse, there were clear signs of his intentions well before he took action. Besides the fact that he was communicating through comments with others online about his intentions, multiple posts were made that should have raised the alarm.

Part 1.

Part 2.

Part 3. Private chat shows a clearly disturbed individual.

A few comments made by TikTokers on his post that copied Natalie Rupnow.

Both parents had big digital footprints, as well as trans family members that they were close with.

A few random posts from Desmond.

Source is Evergreen High-school Student:

“everybody on location knows that it took more than 10 minutes for the sheriffs to show up. Although in some circles, the sheriff is claiming a two minute response time. If they truly showed up in two minutes, there’s no way the shooter made it from point one to point 3 in that short of a timeframe.”

Now, woke Colorado Reps are parroting the narrative that this sh00ting was based on white supremacy. Once again, attempting to place a target on Republicans.
