The Wisconsin school shooter has been identified as a 15-year-old female student at the school who reportedly hated the patriarchy and called for the extermination of men.

The attacker, who killed a teacher and a fellow student before committing suicide, was identified as Natalie Rupnow by Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes.

Rupnow, who also used the name Samantha/Sam, unleashed her anger, which also left six other people wounded, on the nondenominational Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.

Her social media accounts, which have been gathered on social media under her names before the Monday evening official announcement, indicate a disturbed personality.

Ms. Rupnow had a Discord account under the handle “BrainedOut.”

It has since been deleted but screenshots from a 6-page manifesto titled “War Against Humanity” were posted by the site Scalawag and Vagabond.

The manifesto said “women are the only hope for this wretched world” but that the “patriarchy” had “brainwashed” them.

As a result, Rupnow reasoned, all men must be killed, without qualification or exception.

“I realise the truth men are irredeemable. … They can’t be reformed or redeemed. They’re a f——- scourge upon the earth.

“The only solution is to total exterminate them  … every single male must be wiped out, from babies to the elderly. Only then can women be free to create a new world. I’ll be a pioneer, I’ll be the first to take the first step. I don’t care if they’re fathers, brothers, husband, sons, teachers police, and especially n——— or politicians. Ive been craving to kill them all. This is my mission,” she said.

Rupnow seemed to predict her own suicide.

“In approximately 10 minutes, [I] should be dead its strange but it feels good,” she concluded.
