The Ann Coulter law is that the longer it takes the mainstream media to report the identity of the perpetrator if a mass shooting the less likely it is that the perp will be a white male. As we consider the killing of eight and wounding of twenty five in Tumbler Ridge Canada that law needs to be adapted.
It did not take long for the shooter to be identified on social media as a trans person Jesse Van Rootselaar but as I listened on the BBC news last night, 24 hours after the event, there was no mention at all of the fact that Jesse was born a chap but now said he/she/they was a woman. Why hide that fact? The clue, as ever, is in hard data.
But since it is racist or transphobic to look at actual data the liberal establishment would rather we did not even discuss it at all. Meanwhile Ann Coulter needs to update her law lest she be accused of misgendering mass murderers. I know that would see her mortified.

If one defines a mass shooting as the killing of more than four folks then in the US the likelihood that the perp is per million folks:
Trans (born male) 0.769
Trans (born female) 0.667
Asian Man 0.408
Black Man 0.198
White Man 0.176
Asian Woman 0.097
Hispanic Men 0.094
Trans (born male) 0.769
Trans (born female) 0.667
Asian Man 0.408
Black Man 0.198
White Man 0.176
Asian Woman 0.097
Hispanic Men 0.094
Those on the liberal left will thus, correctly, point out that the largest number of mass shooters is white men. And that it is therefore somehow transphobic and pointless to ask why a trans person born male is almost four times as likely to be a mass shooter than a non trans white dude.
The same arguments are used by those who say it is somehow racist to discuss the grooming gangs which raped hundreds of thousands of mainly white working class girls in the UK because, on data which is very limited, it is clear that most rapist where white men. But data from west Yorkshire suggests that 35% of perps are Asian men while the percent of the population in the same area who are Asian men is 16%. And of course nearly all of the Asian rapists are of Pakistani descent, not Indian (like my son) so the drilled down data would be even worse.
A rational observer would say this data needs investigating. Why are trans folks more likely to engage in mass shootings than non trans folks and why are Pakistani men massively more likely to rape 12 year old white girls in West Yorkshire than white men. For only by actually investigating why this is happening might you seek to address the problem.

I await Private Eye daring to challenge the metropolitan elite establishment and call out the problem with mass murdering trans folks. Somehow I suspect it would rather just make more limp jokes about how Donald Trump is a fascist.
