Trans Killers: Minnesota Was Not the First

The perpetrator of the August 27 Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis was 23-year-old Robin Westman (born Robert Westman), a transgender individual. According to ABC News, driver’s license records listed Westman as female, and a 2020 Minnesota district court order approved a name change from Robert to Robin after noting the minor “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

This was not the first transgender shooter, and not the first time a Christian school was targeted. The 2023 Nashville school shooting occurred on March 27 at The Covenant School. The shooter was identified as Aiden Hale (previously referred to by police as Audrey Elizabeth Hale), a 28-year-old former student of the school. Police initially identified the shooter as a woman but later confirmed Hale was transgender. Six people were killed in the attack, including three children, all nine years old.

The 2022 Colorado Springs Club Q shooting was another example. Because the nightclub catered to an LGBTQ audience, many initially assumed the attacker would be a white supremacist. Instead, the perpetrator was Anderson Lee Aldrich, who identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. The attack left five people dead and 19 others injured.

Additional incidents include the 2018 Aberdeen, Maryland, Rite Aid shooting, where 26-year-old Snochia Moseley, a transgender individual transitioning from female to male, killed three people and wounded three others at a distribution center before taking her own life.

In 2019, at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado, 16-year-old Alec McKinney (born Maya McKinney), a transgender boy, carried out a shooting with an accomplice that left one person dead and eight others injured. McKinney told police he specifically targeted students who mocked his gender identity and admitted he had been planning the attack for weeks.

One of the most bizarre and far-reaching murder rings in recent years is the Vegan Transgender Extremist Zizian Cult, a group of about 30 members, mostly young transgender women, linked to at least six murders and labeled as extremists by U.S. law enforcement. The group was led by Jack “Ziz” LaSota, a 34-year-old transgender woman with a computer science degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks who once interned at NASA.

Writing under the name “Ziz,” LaSota published disturbing theories claiming that each brain hemisphere has a separate gender identity and that these identities often desire to kill one another.

Members practiced “unihemispheric sleep,” attempting to sleep with one eye open to prevent one hemisphere from “destroying” the other, a philosophy that has reportedly contributed to suicides within the cult.

Several members became key figures in violent crimes. Michelle Zajko, 32, was tied to the murder of her parents, Richard and Rita Zajko, who were shot to death in Chester Heights, Pennsylvania, on December 31, 2022. Daniel Blank, 26, Zajko’s Vermont housemate who has been described as having Asperger’s syndrome, was also involved. In November 2022 in Vallejo, California, Zizian members attacked an 80-year-old landlord, impaling him with a sword and blinding him in one eye; the victim fatally shot one assailant in self-defense.

The same landlord, Curtis Lind, was later stabbed to death on January 17, 2025, with Maximilian Snyder charged in the killing. Just days later, on January 20 in Coventry, Vermont, U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland, 44, was killed during a shootout after a traffic stop. Zizian member Teresa Youngblut, 21, is accused of opening fire, while another member, Felix “Ophelia” Bauckholt, was also killed in the exchange.

The wave of violence culminated on February 16, 2025, when LaSota, Zajko, and Blank were arrested in Frostburg, Maryland. They were found trespassing on private property while dressed in black and carrying weapons. LaSota, described by prosecutors as the leader of the extremist Zizians, was ordered held without bail.

One of the most disturbing prevented cases involved Elizabeth Ballesteros West, formerly Francisco Frank Paramo, a 56-year-old transgender woman from Cottage Grove, Oregon. West was arrested by the FBI in January 2024 for allegedly plotting a mass shooting at her workplace over claims of “transphobia.” Federal prosecutors charged her with interstate threatening communications.

Minneapolis Murder – When Will Investigators Reveal Mental Health and Drug History of Shooter?

How many times will the nation have to suffer through another senseless mass murder and listen to the same lame excuses for the attacker’s motives? Twenty-three-year-old Robert Westman, aka Robin, killed two kids and wounded many others at an early morning attack on Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis yesterday and already we are being overloaded with the same blather.

We’ve seen these attacks and heard the same old tired arguments against guns and the “trans” status of the shooter. What we don’t hear, what is never discussed, is the mental health history of the shooter and, of course, the psychiatric drugs that may have been prescribed that could account for the murderous behavior. Why?

That’s easy. The mainstream media isn’t going to raise the issue of mental health and prescription psychiatric drugs because that’s how the salaries of the talking heads are paid. One only needs to turn on any of the cable or mainstream media sources and it takes minutes before the pharmaceutical commercials begin. Let’s face it, how would Sean Hannity, for example, be paid his enormous salary without the millions in advertising paid to Fox News by the pharmaceutical industry?

But of course, it’s much more sinister. The nation is addicted to a failed mental health model of diagnose and drug. In fact, after every mass shooting, there are cries for the need of “more mental health funding!” What most people don’t understand is that the entire mental health model, that has been used for the last fifty years, is built on fraud. That’s right, fraud.

There is no science to any psychiatric diagnosis. There is no abnormality in the brain that is any alleged psychiatric disorder, and the alleged “chemical imbalance” was, thankfully, completely debunked in 2022 by Dr. Joanna Moncrieff as a myth that was never supported by scientific evidence.

Making the fraud of the psychiatric diagnosis worse is that the pharmaceutical industry jumped on board with psychiatric drugs sold as “treatment” for the alleged mental disorders. The problem with selling the antidepressants, stimulants, antipsychotics and anti-anxiety drugs as “treatment” is that the pharmaceutical companies admit that they have no idea how the drugs “work” as “treatment” for the alleged disorder. Will the drugs change behavior? Yes, but so will illegal drugs.  What people need to understand is that yes, they are depressed, suffering from anxiety and wiggling in their seat, but that doesn’t mean there is an abnormality. There isn’t an abnormality, and these drugs don’t treat one.

The drugs sold as “treatment,” however, come with an ever-expanding list of possible adverse events. First, for example, antidepressants that “treat” depression carry a black box warning (the most serious warning issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before a drug is pulled from the market) for suicidality. That’s right, the drug taken to “treat” depression can cause the patient to commit suicide. The drug also can cause depression, the very behavior the drug is prescribed to “treat.” You can’t make this up. But there are other possible dangerous, life-threatening adverse events associated with antidepressants, including aggressive reaction, aggression, agitation, anxiety, depersonalization, mania, paranoia, abnormal dreams/thinking, psychotic disorder and psychosis to name a few. And similar devastating possible side effects are attached to all the other categories of prescription psychiatric drugs, too.

The question that needs to be answered in the case of the Minneapolis shooter, and all the others, is what is the mental health history, what is the prescription drug history, and, in the case of “trans” shooters, one would want to know at what stage of the transition the shooter is in. The adverse effects of mixing psychiatric drugs and hormone drugs are still not fully understood and could contribute to the state of mind of the shooter.

Mother of Transgender Minneapolis Mass Shooter Robin Westman Appears to Have Fled and Is Not Cooperating with Police… and Retained a Criminal Defense Attorney

Mary Grace Westman, the mother of the transgender Minneapolis mass shooter and child killer Robin Westman appears to have fled and is not cooperating with police.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that a male in his 20s opened fire on children as they attended mass at Annunciation Catholic School, killing at least two children and injuring 14 children and three adults. Police say the shooter was armed with three guns: a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun.

The shooter was later identified as 23-year-old transgender Robert “Robin” Westman. Westman is deceased.

According to court documents obtained by Fox News, Mary Grace Westman ‘transitioned’ her son and changed his name from Robert to Robin when he was 17.

Via Fox News: According to court docs, at 17-years-old Robert Westman formally had his legal name changed to Robin because docs state the “minor child identifies as female and wants her name to reflect the identification.” The application for a name change of a minor was filed by the mother and a court granted the request in 2020.

After Westman’s mother transitioned him, he wrote in a journal that he was tired of being trans.

“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he wrote, according to a translation by The New York Post.

RFK Jr. investigating if drugs taken in Robin Westman’s transition played ‘a role’ in Minneapolis mass shooting

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed Thursday that he has ordered an investigation into whether drugs that transgender shooter Robin Westman was taking during his transition could have played “a role” in his depraved violence.

“We are doing those kind of studies now,” he told “Fox & Friends” when asked if it was possible drugs taken during Westman’s transition played “a role” in him shooting up his former Catholic school’s first Mass of the year Wednesday.

“We are launching studies into their potential contribution,” he said in a response to a question noting that another recent school shooter, Audrey Hale, was also transgender.

The Health and Human Services secretary did not reveal if it was known what drugs Westman or Hale had taken, if any.

However, he noted a wider concern about Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) used to treat depression.

“Some of the SSRI drugs and some other psychiatric drugs might be contributing to violence,” he warned.

“Many of them have black-box warnings that warn of suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation. So we can’t exclude those as a culprit, and those are the kind of studies we are doing,” he said.

Such studies had been slowed by strict patient confidentiality rules, he noted — while stressing that his department had authority to go around them to investigate possible links between such medications and mental diseases

“There was no time in the past when people would walk into a church or a classroom and start shooting people,” he said. “It’s not really happening in other countries, it’s happening here. And we need to look at all of the potential culprits that might be contributing to that.”

MSNBC guest blames COVID lockdowns and video games for latest trans shooting

Leftists are twisting themselves into knots trying to explain away the cause for a mass shooting in Minnesota as anything but another transgender who acted out murderously against innocent children.

In the aftermath of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MSNBC featured a guest who suggested that Robin Westman – formerly Robert Westman – may have been influenced to open fire on kids in a religious setting by bad parenting, playing video games and the COVID lockdowns.

During Wednesday’s edition of “Chris Jansing Reports,” national security analyst Christopher O’Leary speculated about the possible motivations of the alleged shooter who had posted disturbing video online along with a manifesto that was quickly removed after the incident that left two kids dead. The MSNBC expert also pointed to online radicalization in forums on Reddit during the conversation.

“So when you talk about radicalization, you talk about writings that reference suicide, extremely violent thoughts and ideas, and those multiple videos that are posted online. What do these groups do when you say they radicalize?” Jansing asked.

“So, you know, whether it’s a terrorist organization or, you know, the variety of ideologies that different people follow, they’re following them because they have susceptibility,” O’Leary responded. “There’s various push-pull factors. Maybe it’s some kind of mental break. Maybe it’s their life has, you know, gone down the toilet and they have no hope.”

“Maybe they have bad parenting, a variety of things,” he continued. “The effects of COVID and the isolation and what’s called the gamification influence, where young men are growing up, you know, being raised by video games, all of those things are involved in really people mobilizing towards violence more routinely in these things.”

“But you will also see people get radicalized solely on these video games through headsets. They may never go on the Internet otherwise. So there’s a variety of things that, you know, threat professionals look at now and trends. But we’re seeing this repeated,” O’Leary said.

Media Hides Gender Identity and Skews Data in Cases Involving Trans Perpetrators

After a transgender individual killed two people and injured 17 others in a shooting at a Minnesota Catholic school on August 27, it took several hours before social media users uncovered the perpetrator’s identity using Department of Justice and other public law enforcement records. Mainstream outlets suppressed this fact.

Conservative commentator Andy Ngo tweeted: “Today’s killing of Christian children at a church in Minneapolis occurred in the context of a surge in far-left trans propaganda encouraging Trantifa and other leftists to take up arms to kill transphobes and ‘fascists.’ Their targets: Christians and conservatives. I have been warning and reporting on this phenomenon for years and am called a liar by liberal media, and targeted with death threats by the far-left.”

This reflects a broader trend: transgender identity is often omitted when individuals are perpetrators, while their victimization receives extensive coverage. Numerous websites track violence against LGBTQ people, but almost none record violence committed by them. In cases involving gender, the media will frequently refer to a man dressed as a woman simply as a woman, or vice versa, omitting the fact that the person is transgender.

The Washington Examiner highlighted this double standard, noting that “The media have bent over backward to downplay, or even refuse to report entirely, the fact that the shooter had been ‘identifying’ as a gender not actually her own” and that “The message is clear: The media will bend over backward to kowtow to transgender ideology when it benefits the gender bender yet will also do backflips to hide a transgender status if somebody might draw negative inferences.”

This bias is reinforced by the way data is collected. There are extensive official and NGO databases tracking violence against transgender people, such as Human Rights Campaign reports, FBI hate crime statistics, and other NGO monitoring systems, but there is no comparable official system tracking cases where transgender individuals are perpetrators. Instead, information relies on “networked agencies and journalists to correctly identify victims’ gender identities,” leaving systematic gaps whenever the offender is transgender.

Ironically, while there is also comprehensive data on transgender suicides, these reports consistently suppress the fact that many occur after individuals have undergone surgical transition, undermining the narrative that surgery reliably improves mental health and stability. This asymmetry in reporting and data collection creates a skewed picture that amplifies victimhood while obscuring cases that challenge prevailing narratives.

One of the most common talking points is the “Do you want more dead kids?” narrative, used to argue that children must transition and that schools should not be required to inform parents. The claim is that if kids who want to transition are denied the opportunity, they will inevitably commit suicide.

Minneapolis shooter was ‘tired of being trans’ and had been ‘brainwashed’ into being female

Transgender mass shooter Robin Westman complained about being ‘tired of being trans’ and had been ‘brainwashed’ in a chilling manifesto before killing two children in a mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church. 

Court records seen by the Daily Mail reveal Westman, 23, was previously known as Robert, before changing name in 2020. 

According to court papers filed in Dakota County, Minnesota from the time, Westman wanted to the name Robin to reflect that ‘[identifying] as a woman’. 

But in a handwritten manifesto shared by the shooter in a YouTube video before opening fire, Westman appeared to question that decision. 

‘I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,’ the killer wrote in a scrawled cryptic message. 

‘I can’t cut my hair now as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. 

‘It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack.’ 

Westman also wrote about struggling with how to identify, adding: ‘I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it. I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man.’

Kinky secrets of UN trans expert REVEALED: Australian activist plugs bondage, bestiality, nudism, drugs, and tax-funded sex-change ops – so why is he writing health advice for the world body?

A transgender member of a new UN panel that’s drafting global health rules has a kinky track record in everything from bestiality to bondage, drugs and nudism, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Teddy Cook, a female-to-male trans Australian activist, started work this month on the World Health Organization‘s 20-expert body, drafting care guidelines for trans and non-binary people.

Cook, 45, who describes himself as a ‘professional queer, man of trans experience,’ has a controversial backstory.

He’s advocated for taxpayer-funded surgeries for all trans Australians, and worked on a study about trans people having better sex when they’re high on drugs.

Cook’s social media posts are even more revealing.

He’s posted about everything from public nudity to bondage parties, trans orgies and even a photo of a man apparently having sex with a dog.

These revelations should not necessarily exclude Cook from work at the UN.

But, for many, his antics are too smutty for a strait-laced intergovernmental body.

They also reinforce concerns about WHO’s trans health panel, which met for the first time in Geneva this month.

Critics say the group — which is made up of trans campaigners and advocates — is biased.

One trans activist member has already left the panel amid controversy, while another has been exposed for sharing X-rated Grindr hookup posts.

Cook and the WHO did not answer DailyMail.com’s request for comment.

Cook is director for LGBTQ+ community health for ACON, a community group in Sydney.

He famously addressed the New South Wales parliament in 2021, saying trans people deserve ‘dignity’ and are not a ‘threat.’

Tim Walz Speaks at Press Conference Following Church Shooting by Transgender, Refuses to Mention Hate Crime Against Catholics or Shooter’s Trans Identity – Leftist Mayor Blames Guns and Hate Towards Transgenders!

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey spoke during a press conference on Wednesday, hours after the shooting at a Catholic church and K-8 school in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a transgender gunman opened fire, shooting through the windows of the church at Annunciation Catholic School as students attended mass during the first week of the school year. His manifesto was posted to YouTube before the shooting, and it was revealed that he wrote “kill Donald Trump” on one of his guns.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that the shooter, a male in his early 20s, opened fire on children as they attended mass at the school, killing at least two children and injuring 14 children and three adults. Police say he was armed with three guns: a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun.

O’Hara later confirmed that 14 children between the ages of six and 15 and three adult parishioners in their 80s were among the 17 injuries.

In one manifesto video uploaded to YouTube before the shooting, the now-deceased shooter shows guns with scribbled words, including “kill Donald Trump,” and a body target on his wall with an image of Jesus Christ on the head of the target.

The FBI has confirmed that it is investigating the shooting as domestic terrorism and a hate crime against Catholics.

In Tim Walz’s speech, he rightfully thanked President Trump for his attention to the matter, but it was not a particularly strong speech as the chief executive of the state. Notably, he failed to condemn the targeted violence against Catholics by one of his insane transgender constituents or mention the mental illness that the shooter suffered. He likely hopes that part of the story will go away.

Why the Media Won’t Tell You Who Killed Children at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis

On Wednesday morning, a gunman dressed in black opened fire at Annunciation Catholic Church and school in Minneapolis while children were celebrating Mass. At least two young children were killed, and 17 others, mostly children, were injured. The shooter, who killed himself, identified as trans.

The mass shooting and its media coverage echo what happened more than two years ago in Nashville, when a trans shooter, Audrey “Aiden” Hale, murdered three children and three staff at The Covenant School, a Christian school connected to the Covenant Presbyterian Church. In that case, the liberal press downplayed or completely ignored Hale’s trans radicalism, despite the disturbing details revealed in her journals.

Now, Democrats and much of the media are concealing the Minneapolis shooter’s identity. The truth: 23-year-old Robin M. Westman, of Minneapolis, was previously known as Robert Paul Westman. He came from a liberal Saint Paul, Minn. family that fully affirmed his transition as a minor. In 2020, his parents petitioned the court to change his legal identity.

“[‘Robin’] identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification,” his mother, Mary Westman, wrote in the filing. When Robert turned 18, his father, James Westman, marked the occasion with a public Facebook announcement using the trans flag colors.
