Transgender suspect identified as Catholic school shooter, twisted manifesto uncovered
https://politibrawl.substack.com/ ^ | Aug 27, 2025 | Politibrawl

Posted on 08/27/2025 2:45:16 PM PDT by bitt

Robin Westman, a 23-year-old transgender woman formerly named Robert Westman, opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis during a back-to-school Mass on Wednesday morning, killing two children and injuring at least 17 others before dying by suicide, according to reports.

Personal Connection: Westman targeted the Catholic school where his mother, Mary Grace Westman, had worked until her retirement in 2021, shooting through stained glass windows of the church during the celebratory Mass filled with children around 8:30 a.m.

Disturbing Manifesto: Hours before the attack, Westman posted twisted YouTube videos including a 20-minute manifesto written in both English and Cyrillic, expressing fascination with mass shooters, particularly Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza, and detailing his plans to target the school.

Planned Attack: The manifesto revealed Westman's detailed planning, including his desire to attack "a large group of kids coming in from recess" and go inside to "kill, going for as long as I can," while expressing concerns about avoiding parents and finding large enough groups to target.

Weapons and Messages: Westman was armed with a rifle, shotgun, and handgun, with magazines scrawled with messages including "for the children" and "kill Donald Trump," and had no prior known contact with law enforcement before the attack.

Minneapolis Mayor promotes transgender rights immediately following shooting

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey used a press conference about the mass shooting to defend the transgender community, stating he had "heard about a whole lot of hate being directed at our trans community" and condemning anyone using the tragedy to "villainize" transgender people as having "lost their sense of common humanity."

“Robin Westman, a 23-year-old transgender woman “. Sorry, but not a woman. There is no such thing s a “transgender woman”. Pure hogwash. A man is a man and a woman is a woman by birth! You can make believe all you want, but that doesn’t change anything.

“””How did he get the guns? Mentally ill people should not be getting guns. “””

They say the guns were purchased recently and legally. One was a pistol. In Minnesota you cannot buy a pistol or an AR-15 type rifle with a pistol grip unless you have a Permit to Purchase that you get from the Sheriff and have to renew each year. Apparently they thought it was pk that he is a mentally ill crossdresser.

Did this guy live at home? If he did didnt his mother notice all the guns? Did he work? Where did he live. Was he a legally registered gun owner? Did any of the church members know of his opinions? Did he go to the church, ever?

"Instead of humoring his delusions about being female, he should have been committed."

DemonRATS don't put nutcases in asylums or criminals in prison anymore.

I was listening to the news about this on the way home. The reporter was more concerned about using "proper pronouns" and pushing a narrative than in reporting the news. On several occasions, she "corrected" herself by making sure she used "she" and "her" every time she "accidentally" said he or him.

The shooter isn't the only one who's insane.

I call for an immediate nation-wide ban on all transgender surgeries, regardless of the age of the individual.

When I came home from, I mentioned to my wife that this was another Trans shootings, and that this has become the standard. Since she only watches corporate media sources, she said she had no idea about that and the news had not been reporting that.

“””The story is nowhere to be found at msn.com”””

If the murderer was wearing a MAGA hat they would knock on your door to tell you about the story personally.

“Mentally ill people should not be getting guns.”

Be careful what you wish for. If the Dems ever win and I pray they won’t, don’t you think that being a conservative, Christian, constitutionalist will be classified as a mental disorder? We all saw Biden’s DOJ go after conservatives and they will be worse if given another chance. You remember Hitlery talking about “fun camps” for deplorables?
