Life imitates art. This is happening right now.
A few days ago, Joe Rogan "joked" that people should go out and shoot homeless people in Los Angeles. Someone went out and started shooting homeless people in Langley, BC this morning. Convenient timing.

It’s believed the shootings occurred near a homeless encampment near Langley, BC. A few family members who live in the area are sharing scant details. All we know is there seems to be one shooter, Police have made contact, and they are telling people to stay away.
Last week, in his anti-Canada podcast, Joe Rogan and Tom Segura talked about the benefit of shooting homeless people, which is prescient. We don’t have any details suggesting this shooter took Joe’s advice to heart. Still, it’s interesting how another angry white dude decided to shoot homeless people.
The timing and coincidences are incredible, though.
More to come…

- UPDATE – Lngley Police and the RCMP have a man in custody. They believe he acted alone shooting ‘several’ transient people in multiple locations.
CBC: The alert described the suspect as a white man with dark hair who was wearing brown Carhartt coveralls as well as a blue and green camouflage T-shirt with a red logo on the right sleeve.
The notice said he was connected to a white car, but did not say whether police had identified a make or model.
Officials sent a second emergency alert just after 7:20 a.m. PT, reiterating the need to stay away from the downtown core as officers investigate whether there are more suspects.
The city and township of Langley are located around 40 kilometres southeast of Vancouver.
RCMP have closed 200 Street, a major route through the centre of the city, between Willowbrook Mall and the Langley Bypass.
Police specified the following areas as places for the public to avoid:
- 200 Street and the Langley Bypass
- Cascades Casino on Fraser Highway and 204 Street
- The Langley bus loop at Logan Avenue and Glover Road
*Police have confirmed several victims after a series of shootings in Langley, B.C., prompted emergency alerts on Monday.
The first alert, issued just after 6:15 a.m. PT, reported “multiple shooting scenes” in the downtown core of the City of Langley and one “incident” in the neighbouring Township of Langley. The alert included a description of a suspect.
Police confirmed one man had been arrested just before 7 a.m., but said officers were still determining whether the suspect acted alone.
“We do have a male suspect in custody. However, we are ruling out any other outstanding individuals before we stand the emergency alert down,” said Sgt. Rebecca Parslow.
Parslow said there were several victims, but did not specify how many. She said the victims were homeless and that police believe the attack was targeted.
At least one person has died, as the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is responding to the incident.
It’s a mass shooting of homeless people. Canada’s 6th mass shooting in 2022.
