Deadly Minnesota school shooting reflects tragic cost of a disordered society — including Dem leaders who lost the plot
NY Post ^ | 27 Aug, 2025 | Miranda Devine

If ever there were an example of the perils of the Democrat approach to crime and social disorder, it is Minneapolis, ground zero of the George Floyd/defund-the-police movement that roiled the country five years ago, and a “sanctuary transgender state.”

The deadly mass shooting of small children at Mass at Annunciation Catholic School Wednesday brings home the tragic cost of a disordered society, where evil rampages unchecked and those who would protect the vulnerable are handcuffed and pushed away.

It’s too early to say exactly how, or even if, the tragedy could have been prevented. Yet Minnesota Democrats already have reached for their lazy gun-control mantra, in a state that has among the strictest gun laws in the country.

Of course, they remain silent about the anti-Christian radical gender ideology that appears to have driven the latest spate of school shootings, from the murders at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn., in November 2023, and at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis., in December 2024, to Wednesday’s rampage.

At least we now have an FBI that tells the truth about the motivating hatreds so that we can try to understand the pathology and stop its spread.

“The FBI is investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement on X after the Annunciation murders Wednesday, adding that the killer has been identified as “Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman.”

Name change

Robin Westman, 23, had his mother apply to the Minnesota District Court to legally change his name from Robert in January 2020.

“Minor child identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification,” says the court order “Granting Name Change of a Minor.”

This is becoming a trend with “transgender” youths.

I wish someone would delve into the shooter and his family a bit more. Did Robert still live at home? What drugs or hormones was he prescribed? I have the feeling that the family knew plenty and did nothing.

The left is so upset that we may be rightly looking at how unstable “transgenders” are. They don’t care one whit that children were killed and injured. They don’t care that they’re Catholic. They’re concerned about the shooter, who killed himself after taking out innocent children.

Disgusting.

The maggot Minnesota governor Tim Walz was practically telling trannies to go kill Trump supporters.

Walz needs to be sued into oblivion and the DNC outlawed. It is a terrorist party.

The corruption lies in the medical establishment who under pressure from the Democrat Party isn’t speaking up about these mentally ill people.

It’s past being a trend, we are quickly entering epidemic territory.

BTW, What that mayor said yesterday basically defending these mentally ill people was absolutely disgusting.

Yep. The other day idiot Walz was spewing hateful rhetoric about President Trump and just a few days later a psycho trans with “hate Trump” painted on his AR shoots up a Catholic school?

You’d have a hard time convincing me there’s no connection.

I’m with you on this. It looks like he had some really expensive firearms, along with loads of ammunition. Last night it was reported that they searched not only his family home but an apartment. Did he have a job, was he in college, why Russian writings. Who was paying for all this?

This guy was so insane, there is no way he could hide it from his family or hold down a job. So were his parents funding him? There are two reports that his mom “retired” from the school in 2021 after working there for only five years. Then another report said she worked there for “decades”. The mother is reported to be sixty-five but appears much younger. Did she actually “retire” or was she asked to resign, possibly due to some aggression by her son at the school.

Correct. Putz’s violent anti Trump and MAGA rhetoric gives trannies permission to go kill. Putz’s soft on crime policies made Minneapolis a dangerous place to live. It’s all Putz’s fault.

The deadly MASS MURDER of small children at Mass at Annunciation Catholic School Wednesday brings home the tragic cost of a disordered society, where evil rampages unchecked and those who would protect the vulnerable are handcuffed and pushed away.

Of course, they remain silent about the anti-Christian radical gender ideology that appears to have driven the latest spate of school MASS MURDERS, from the MURDERS at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn., in November 2023, and at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis., in December 2024, to Wednesday’s rampage.

Here is the latest on the MASS MURDER at a Minneapolis Catholic school:

• Minneapolis school MURDERER Robin Westman confessed he was ‘tired of being trans’: ‘I wish I never brain-washed myself’

• Mom of Minneapolis MASS MURDERER Robin Westman worked at Catholic school where he opened fire, killing 2 CHILDREN: police

• First surviving victim in Minneapolis school MASS MURDER ID’d

• Melania Trump ‘shattered’ to ‘senseless and depraved’ Minnesota school MASS MURDER, calls for ‘pre-emptive intervention’

• Second Amendment activist named in Minnesota MASS MURDERER’s disturbing video speaks out

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey hijacked a police press conference about the Annunciation MASS MURDER Wednesday to blast the public for what he claimed was a “whole lot of hate being directed at our trans community.”

“These cops are already really stretched to the limits,” Collin told Megyn Kelly, pointing out the Annunciation school massacre was the fourth MASS MURDER incident in Minneapolis in less than 24 hours...........................
