Oh, I Think We Know the Motive

This denial is beyond parody at this point: 

Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said videos and writings the shooter left behind show that Westman “expressed hate towards almost every group imaginable.”

(Sidebar: particularly Catholics and children. Let's not forget that.) 


Investigators recovered hundreds of pieces of evidence from the church and three residences, the police chief said. They found more writings from the shooter, but no additional firearms or a clear motive for the attack on the church Westman once attended. Westman had a “deranged fascination” with mass killings, O’Hara said.

FBI Director Kash Patel said on X that the attack was an act of domestic terrorism motivated by hate-filled ideology, citing the shooter’s statements against multiple religions and calls for violence against President Donald Trump.  ...

Westman, who once attended the school and whose mother worked for the parish before retiring in 2021, left behind several videos and page upon page of writings describing a litany of grievances. One read: “I know this is wrong, but I can’t seem to stop myself.”

What appears to be a suicide note to family contains a confession of long-held plans to carry out a shooting and talk of being deeply depressed.

Lily Kletter, who graduated from Annunciation, recalled that Westman joined her class at some point in middle school and once hid in the bathroom to avoid going to Mass.

(Sidebar: no, not she. Not they. This worm of a man is no more plural or a woman than an elephant is an ant. Maybe if he did go to Mass, he would not have fired on innocent children. That would be a huge red flag for me.)

“I remember they had a crazy distaste for school, especially Annunciation, which I always thought was pretty interesting because their mom was on the parish board,” she said.

Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey decried hatred being directed at “our transgender community.” Westman’s gender identity wasn’t clear. In 2020, a judge approved a petition, signed by Westman’s mother, asking for a name change from Robert to Robin, saying the petitioner “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

There we have it.

Thanks, Mom.

Are we done catering to these delusions, which is really a form of grooming?

And screw your precious community.


We can stop with the pandering now.
