Dayton shooter Connor Betts’ slain sister was a transgender man: report
New York Post ^ | August 9, 2019 | Natalie O'Neil

Posted on 08/10/2019 4:10:13 AM PDT by Kaslin

The “sister” of the Dayton, Ohio, shooter who was killed during the attack identified as a transgender guy — although his family had no idea, according to a report and some of his own social media posts.

Connor Betts’ 22-year-old sibling was named by authorities as Megan Betts in the days after the mass shooting, with cops releasing a statement saying relatives had lost “a daughter.”

But he apparently went by the name Jordan Cofer, and identified as a male, although he was only “out” to a small circle of friends, according to Splinter News, which spoke to several of those pals anonymously.

“Jordan was my closest friend,” one pal told the outlet. “He identified with he/him pronouns to people he trusted and knew would support him. Jordan was probably one of the sweetest people you would ever meet, a true saint, but he was also very scared constantly. He tried to give the best to everyone.”

One of his friends also confirmed to The Post: “I did know that he was indeed a trans man.”

On Sunday, the 24-year-old killer drove to a popular strip of bars and restaurants with Jordan — then made him one of the nine victims killed in the slaughter, officials said. Investigators have not yet identified his motive or whether his sibling was an intended target.

You are absolutely right. The sins of the children should not be visited upon the parents. Dear Abby wrote a wonderful column about this. She titled it: “Rotten Children Have Only Themselves to Blame “.

We have contracted a very serious case of affluenza.

The good news is that the disease contains it’s own cure. The bad news is that it’ll take a while and won’t be pretty.

Appears that the powers that be say they don’t know if he was purposely shooting her or him or vice versa? These shootings are completely unfathomable. What goes on in the minds of these whackos?

The “Megan Betts = Transgender Man Jordan Cofer” story is a complete fabrication.

Splinter made it up. The Post repeated it. The gay media picked it up & pushed it.

See my posts 22, 49, 70, 77.

The left controls the media with few exceptions. The promotion of perverted ideas is therefore magnified by the constant “drip” of stories they push. With all the talk of homosexuals and trannies, you’d think they were 50% of the population when they’re only 4 percent.

The family surely knew, especially with that butch hair cut and masculine clothing shown in HER social media accounts. But some families just don’t speak of such.

Mama’s around but I haven’t seen anything about a father figure.

It’s purposeful on their part. Just call them what they are, a mentally ill woman or man.

Whatever she imagined herself to be, I’m sure she never imagined being Murdered by her Brother.

Very well said! We all need to financially support President Trump and any other candidate that promotes normal values. Call, send e-mail, volunteer and make sure we vote!

This is all very confusing.

Hey, I know a way to figure this all out. Which public rest room did he/she use?

Maybe the boyfriend was experimenting like some experiment with drugs. You know, like someone claims they’re just a little bit pregnant. Sounds like bf was just as nuts as the Betts family.

We’ve heard about the mother but not about a father. Is there one?

I suppose the trans man (fake man, man-v) could be a homosexual trans man meaning the trans man dates women, right?

Any combination seems possible.

Have heard nothing about a father. Last week I did hear a talking head say that out of the last 27 shooters, 26 of them were from homes without a father, so I’d say probably no father here.
