The arrest \u2062came after West \u200bexpressed extreme hatred and anger towards &#8220;transphobes&#8221; and specific minority groups while posting\u2063 pictures of \u200dfirearms on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth West, a 56-year-old resident of Cottage Grove,\u200c Oregon, was arrested following an FBI investigation into her disturbing online content. Numerous social media posts featured images of weapons and threats towards \u2063&#8221;transphobes&#8221; and racial\u2062 minority \u2063groups. \u200dIt is important to note that West has a history\u2062 of mental health issues and has \u2062been diagnosed with PTSD, dissociative disorder, and\u200d bipolar disorder during prior hospitalizations.<\/p>\n<p>FBI special \u2063agent Damara Gonzalez\u200c labeled \u200dWest as &#8220;an\u2064 interstate threat&#8221; due to her online threats and possession of firearms.\u200d The FBI became aware of West&#8217;s content on September 26th, 2023, and observed threatening posts in a Facebook\u200c group. Although West exhibited extremist ideals and even posted images of a room filled with Nazi \u200band White Supremacist flags, authorities refrained from arresting \u200cher until last week.<\/p>\n<p>According to an insider \u200bsource, West attended neo-Nazi events before transitioning. This arrest adds to the ongoing discussion regarding non-binary and transgender individuals involved \u2063in criminal activities.\u2064 It raises questions about the intersection of gender\u2062 identity, \u2064extremist ideologies, and the potential for violent \u200bbehavior.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is worth mentioning that \u2063some U.S. Democrat officials, including President\u2064 Joe Biden, have\u2062 chosen to overlook acts of\u200d violence committed by &#8220;gender-non-conforming individuals&#8221; due \u200cto their status as part of a\u200b protected class. President \u2063Biden has been vocal about \u200dhis \u200badministration&#8217;s support for LGBTQI+ rights, including ending the ban on\u2062 transgender Americans serving\u2064 in the military and strengthening civil\u2064 rights\u2064 protections.<\/p>\n<p>During \u2062West&#8217;s interview with the FBI, she admitted to feeling upset and jealous after speaking to another trans woman who had received gender\u200d reassignment\u200c surgery\u200b without paying out-of-pocket. West&#8217;s online statements\u2064 on Twitter raised further concerns.\u2063 Her \u2063Twitter bio \u2062described her as a &#8220;Nazi dominatrix from Hell&#8221; who opposes the &#8220;blackening of America and Europe&#8221; and expresses hatred towards Black individuals and Jewish people. West also held \u200cpro-Palestinian sentiments, fueling \u2062animosity\u2064 towards Israel and Jews.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI observed that West&#8217;s \u200cFacebook\u200d and Twitter posts contained violence towards\u200b Black and Jewish people, \u200bimages of firearms, idolization of Hitler and \u2063the Nazi flag, as well as a \u200clive-streamed \u200bvideo\u2062 of the \u200cChristchurch Mosque shooting\u200b in New Zealand. \u200dIn one photo\u200c caption, West wrote, &#8220;Bring it \u2064on,\u200b blackie,&#8221; alongside \u200bpictures of\u2063 firearms.<\/p>\n<p>After multiple attempts to \u2063communicate with West, the FBI\u200c seized numerous firearms and other items from her residence, including\u2063 11 handguns, 16\u2063 rifles, \u2064tens\u200d of thousands of rounds of ammunition, firearm accessories, a black book matching the description of \u200bWest&#8217;s\u200c &#8220;black shadow&#8221; \u2064journal, 48 drawings, and a black\u200d and white \u2062composition notebook with notes made by West.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth \u200cWest\u2064 is now registered as a female \u200bprisoner at the \u2063Lane County Jail, awaiting legal proceedings. This case\u2062 shines a light on\u2062 the\u200b ongoing discussion surrounding the involvement of non-binary and transgender individuals in criminal activities. It raises complex questions about the intersection of mental health, extremist ideologies, and the potential \u2063for \u200cviolence. The broader conversation surrounding LGBTQI+ rights and their protection \u2063must continue to address these challenges and find solutions that prioritize \u200dsafety and inclusivity for all individuals in society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The F.B.I. seal is displayed in the Flag Room at their Washington, DC headquarters.
