Alex Paporakis – Palatine, Illinois police mugshot

Alexandros Paporakis is a 19-year-old from Palatine, Illinois who was arrested around October 11, 2026, and charged with making a terrorist threat and unlawful possession of weapons.

He plotted a mass shooting targeting a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois

According to court accounts and police statements, he researched the location, drove there armed with a modified AR-style rifle, roughly 300 rounds of ammunition, body armor/tactical gear, and other items (including Nazi symbolism and a gas canister with a slur). The rifle reportedly jammed; he left, contacted a Taco Bell coworker, where he worked as a cashier, shared details of the plan and materials, including, of course, an eight-page manifesto. Alexandros was arrested after the coworker tipped off police. No one was injured.

After the story made headlines, Democrat Ro Khanna jumped in his car and blamed the attempted terrorist plot on a “white supremacist.” Khanna is an Indian-American multi-millionaire with an estimated net worth of $150-$340 million.

Now we know the rest of the story.

Paporakis is trans.

The would-be terrorist is being treated for ADHD, depression, and anxiety and receives hormone injections for gender transition.

Pporakis is latest in a string of violent trans teens who wreak havoc on our communities. What is going on here?

Here is a short list of several documented trans mass shooters in America, via Grok.

These are the ones most consistently referenced across news reporting, police statements, and databases:

** Audrey Hale (also referred to as Aiden Hale), March 27, 2023 — The Covenant School, Nashville, Tennessee.
Biological female who identified as male (trans man). Killed 6 people (3 children and 3 adults) and was killed by police. Nashville police confirmed the transgender identification. This is the sole case that meets the strictest long-term mass-shooting definitions in databases such as the Violence Prevention Project.⁠

** Anderson Lee Aldrich, November 19–20, 2022 — Club Q, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Identified as nonbinary (they/them pronouns) by defense attorneys. Killed 5 and injured 19 at an LGBTQ nightclub. Often grouped with transgender cases in broader discussions, though nonbinary is distinct.⁠

** Robin Westman (formerly Robert Westman), August 27, 2025 — Annunciation Catholic Church/School, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Biological male who legally changed name to Robin as a teenager and identified as female (court documents noted identification as female). Killed 2 children and injured roughly two dozen others before dying by suicide. Later writings expressed regret about the transition. Frequently cited in post-2025 reporting.⁠

There is no evidence Paporakis is Democrat.

And here is one more… from today.
