The Justice Department has indicted a transgender woman for allegedly making threats to carry out a school shooting, among other violent acts. The indictment comes after the individual made a series of videos in which he issued the threats, which also included sexual violence against children.
Despite the potential threat the individual faced, the story has been largely ignored by the press, which likely would have been different had the offender been more politically convenient.
The Southern District of Illinois United States Attorney’s Office explained the details in a press release.
Alexia N. Willie, also known as Jason L. Willie, 47, of Nashville, Illinois, is facing 14 felony counts of interstate communication of a threat to injure. The crime is punishable by up to 5 years’ imprisonment per count.
According to court documents, Willie allegedly made threatening statements while on video in online chatrooms with victims across the country. The indictment highlights 14 alleged instances in which the defendant threatened to walk into schools or public restrooms to shoot or sexually abuse children.
Willie was arrested on August 14 in Perry County, Illinois, after the FBI intercepted a live stream on social media that alerted them to the potential threat. The suspect was on video making a number of disturbing threats and indicated that there were plans to commit a school shooting.
According to the indictment, Willie said:
“We’re out here walking into your school, shooting your children, and I’m gonna tell you right now, I’m gonna be one of them and the FBI isn’t gonna stop me, but I’m gonna kill your children out here.”
The indictment also alleges that Willie made threats through a video call to a black man and woman residing in Virginia, in which he also used racial slurs.
“We’re going to war. We’re going to kill you. N*gger, you can shut the f*ck up. Because I guarantee you, you and your n*ggers ain’t gonna do sh*t, and can’t do sh*t. You don’t have the strength to take us on, I guarantee it. You gonna die, you understand that?”
He also made threats to other individuals through video calls. In one instance, he said, “We’re f*cking your children and killing them” and that they are “f*cking them and hurting them and killing them and you f*ggots can’t do nothing about us.”
In yet another communication, Willie allegedly told the other person that he will “be in the bathroom raping your Christian daughters, and there ain’t nothing you f*ggots can do about it.”
I’ll spare you the other details because Willie gets far more graphic in his descriptions of what he wanted to do to minor girls, but he did say he is “openly a pedophile.”
Willie is originally from Illinois and was previously known as Jason Lee Willie before he “transitioned” to the opposite gender. It also appears he was on the FBI’s radar going back at least five years.
Not much is known about Willie who is from Nashville, Illinois and was formerly known as Jason Lee Willie, aside from a history of making threats against several different groups. According to the proffer of evidence, the FBI has received numerous reports regarding Willie's threats and erratic behavior online.
In 2018 the FBI received reports of a threat made by Willie on Facebook, in which she claimed to have killed a preacher that had molested her and hundreds of other children. The FBI previously spoke to Willie about a separate threat made on streaming platform Twitch, in which she threatened to bomb people who discriminate against transgender rights.
A person who lived with Willie said, according to the proffer of evidence, that she has "a lot of anger" and said he was trying to get "mental health assistance" for his house mate.
Despite the extreme and disturbing nature of this story, especially when it comes to Willie’s alleged threats, major news outlets have not bothered to report on it. The notion that the press would not deem a potential school shooting carried out by someone openly declaring they wish to molest kids as important shows just how corrupt our once-vaunted Fourth Estate has become.
Of course, we don’t need to ask how this might have turned out differently if Willie happened to be a straight white male with white supremacist beliefs, do we? The story would have received wall-to-wall coverage from the likes of CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times,The Washington Post, and other establishment media outlets. But since this individual happened to be transgender, it doesn’t quite strike their fancy.
The disgusting reality this story shows is that the press only cares about this type of evil when it is politically expedient. It further shows that journalists are not concerned with informing the public; they are bent on influencing it, which is why trust in the media has been in the toilet over the past decade.
