This morning there was a mass shooting at a church school in south Minneapolis. It took place in a neighborhood where I once lived. The school that was attacked, Annunciation, is where we would have sent our youngest child if we had stayed in the city. Reports on the shooting here. Two children were killed and 17 were wounded. The murderer shot through a stained glass window into the church, I take it more or less at random. The murderer committed suicide.
The shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, formerly Robert Westman. This is photo from Robert’s middle school yearbook:
Robert apparently changed his name to Robin in 2020:
Minnesota court records confirm that Robin Westman, formally known as Robert Westman, identified as a woman.
This name change was legally granted in 2020 pic.twitter.com/bf3FiNB2Q2

And also this, which appears to be a second and still more disturbing video. Note the “Kill Donald Trump” on one of the magazines, which suggests that Westman, not surprisingly, was not MAGA.

Westman had attended Annunciation, and his mother worked at Annunciation Church, which runs the adjacent school.
So it is another mass shooting crime committed by a trans person. It has become obvious that trans people commit such crimes at a rate far disproportionate to their numbers. There are at least two possible reasons for this. One, gender dysphoria is a severe mental illness which now is not being treated as mental illness, but rather is being humored and encouraged. Two, trans people who transition are subjected to intense chemical regimens that may well impact behavior or aggravate pre-existing mental illness.
The trans movement has been a disaster in every way and should be re-examined from the ground up.
