Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Refuse to Tell the Truth About Minnesota Catholic School Shooting
The Daily Signal YT Channel ^ | Sept 3 2025 | victor davis hanson

Posted on 09/04/2025 6:05:10 AM PDT by texas booster

To call last week’s mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a “tragedy” would ignore the culpability of the shooter, Robert Westman—a man who identified as “Robin,” a woman.

Victor Davis Hanson explains why this was not simply a tragedy, but an act of evil, and why the media and political leaders refuse to have an honest discussion about the factors behind it on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“They won't have any discussion over transgenderism. This falls in the broader category of exempt DEI woke topics, but I think we should talk about this. This is the fourth or fifth incident—I don't even like the word "incident"—occurrence of transgendered shooters who are protected by authorities.

“We were told, "Be careful about Big Pharma. Be careful about Big Med." All of those worries and prohibitions and cautions were thrown out the window, as were SSRI antidepressants. These were selective serotonin prohibitors. In other words, they altered the chemistry of the brain, supposedly, to correct mental disturbances, depression, bipolarity. But they're very dangerous drugs. But when it came to the exempt topic of transgenderism, suddenly the society was supposed to accept that this was not a mental disorder. It was not a rare occurrence. It was a national crisis where large percentages of the population were transgendering.”

I don’t think so. He is a very smart person.

He is not a social person and has few real friends. He started college this semester and has become acquainted with what might be buddies.

Goes back to the 1970s when the mental health hospitals were closed down, patients released as “sane” but had to take their medications. Mass killings took off like rocket.

A little less talk, and a lot more action needed. Everyone’s talking about what’s wrong and few are doing anything about it. Trump’s actually trying to fix a lot of things and everyone else is just talking.

Compliance without supervision is not the forte of most mental patients. Without constant surveillance, they almost invariably discontinue their medications and/or therapy sessions over time, and lapse into all their former bad habits and defective ideation.

Self-discipline is by no means a universal trait among human beings.

“To call last week’s mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a “tragedy” would ignore...”

It seems to me that the word “tragedy” is frequently used when the word “atrocity” is more accurate.

We don’t need the leftist corporate media to tell us what happened, we haven’t for YEARS.
We know what happened and we have our alternatives to turn to.

The truth is destroying the left. Their reaction is to tell bigger and more absurd lies through a willing media. Consequently the left is inching towards an authoritarian solution that involves the threat of force which will eventually evolve into state sponsored terror.

There a lot of third rails of modern journalism. Pretty much any topic harmful to Democrats & ultra liberal government.
