The Transgender Shooter, The Socialist Rifle Association, And The Alarming Rise Of Far-Left Militancy

Last week, Minneapolis was the scene of a nightmare. A transgender shooter stormed into a church, murdered two children, and then turned the gun on himself. Tragedy struck at the intersection of ideology and violence, but while the mainstream press will quietly move on from this story, the details demand closer inspection.

In the aftermath, investigators uncovered the shooter’s personal journal. On it, a sticker of a gay pride flag emblazoned with an assault rifle and the words “defend equality.” That very same flag is also displayed by the Minneapolis chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA), a self-proclaimed left-wing gun club that advocates armed struggle. Andy Ngo shared the images here.

Say what you will about America’s increasingly bitter culture wars, but we cannot ignore the fact that much of the rhetoric surrounding the modern trans movement isn’t just about self-defense, but about “fighting back,” like this flyer, advocating for a trans day of vengeance.

MN cops caught in a rather big lie over Catholic Church trans shooter…

Minneapolis police were quick to claim there were “no red flags” in the latest trans shooting, the one that took the lives of two precious young children.

The killer, a man who paraded around in pigtails and called himself female, opened fire inside a Catholic church, murdering two grade school children attending Mass and injuring countless others. Some of the victims are still fighting for their lives in the hospital as we speak.

What’s truly terrifying is how the mainstream media continues to enable this mental illness, even after everything that’s happened, by referring to this man as a woman. It’s enough to make your blood boil.

It’s people like Jake who keep fueling this mental illness and violence. They are completely out of step with everyday Americans on this disturbing trans issue.

And speaking of this twisted teen, the police have now been caught in a lie. They claimed there were “no red flags” with the shooter, but there actually were. Two that we know of, and likely a third.

NBC News:

More than seven years before Robin Westman opened fire on a Catholic school as Mass was underway, killing two children and injuring 17 more worshippers, police were called to a townhouse in the Twin Cities suburb where she lived with her mother.

The heavily redacted police report NBC News obtained from the police department in Eagan, Minnesota, is dated Jan. 26, 2018, and it includes a two-word description explaining why an officer was dispatched to that address: mental health.

It also includes a brief synopsis that reads “assisted Mendota Heights with a check welfare of a juvenile.” Mendota Heights is another Twin Cities suburb.

The name of that juvenile and what exactly prompted police to be summoned to the three-bedroom home on Crane Creek Lane were blacked out in the report.

Two years before the mental health call, police responded to a report of a “criminal offense” at the residence, according to a police report. But beyond noting that the case was closed, the report blacks out all the details describing the event.

So, there may have been up to three serious incidents tied to this disturbed teen, yet police still claimed there were “no red flags.”

Rosie O’Donnell Forced to Appologize After Disgusting Smear of Trump Supporters and Lying About Motives of Trans Killer

Rather than take a pause during a tragedy, failed far-left comedian Rosie O’Donnell immediately tried to blame the horrific violence on Donald Trump supporters.

O’Donnell took to social media to falsely claim the transgender Minneapolis Catholic school shooter was a “Republican, MAGA person, white supremacist.”

O’Donnell peddled this unhinged smear despite the fact that the trans-shooter had “kill Donald Trump” scrawled across one of his gun magazines.

Immediately following the tragedy, O’Donnell took to social media and shared,  “What do you know? [The shooter] was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. White supremacist.”

The shooter, who identified as trans,  was confirmed to be Robert/RobinWestman.

By Sunday, O’Donnell walked back her vile remarks and was forced to admit that the reality did not align with her agenda.

“I knew a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days.”

“You are right. I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.

“I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard MO and had standard, you know, feelings of… you know, NRA-loving kind of gun people,” O’Donnell added.

“Anyway, the truth is I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up. I’m sorry. This is my apology video and I hope it’s enough.”

Democrats Demand “Assault Weapons” Ban After Trans Mass Shooting In Minneapolis

In the US, gun deaths are often the focus of progressive and international criticism, with claims that the nation is a wellspring of violence and murder that could be solved simply by banning firearms.  The disdain of the political left for the 2nd Amendment is no secret and their efforts to erase gun rights from the Constitution is a constant point of contention within American society.  

Of course, this means that Democrats are required to ignore every other contributing factor to any shooting and deflect when they are confronted with inconvenient truths.  Leftists are, once again, attempting to redirect public discourse as yet another trans shooter has hit the news feeds.  The Minneapolis killer is one of at least five active shooters since 2018 that were confirmed as transgender. 

Multiple other active shooter events have taken place in which the trans status of the killers was suspected but never revealed by authorities (authorities tried to hide Audrey Hale’s trans status and her manifesto, for example).

In the case of the Robert Westman, a male posing as a female, notes from a manifesto and other evidence indicates that the trans ideology was central to his decision to murder two children and injure 17 others at a Christian school.  It was the direct inspiration for the attack.

However, Democrat leaders and media figures like former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki argue otherwise.  They claim that the availability of “assault rifles” is the real cause, not the insane political philosophy that ruled over Westman’s every waking moment.  Psaki shed alligator tears for the children of the Church of the Annunciation, while simultaneously denying that the trans ideology had anything to do with it and blaming conservatives for not supporting a firearms ban.

Canada’s Experience Provides Evidence Marijuana Legalization Doesn’t Fuel Gun Violence

On Fox News this week, Laura Ingraham and Alex Berenson pushed the narrative that marijuana use is fueling violent crime and mass shootings, with Berenson claiming cannabis is regularly found in autopsies and warning that rescheduling would put “public safety at stake.” It’s a familiar line from prohibition-era talking points — and one that falls apart when you look at Canada.

Canada legalized recreational marijuana for adults 18 and older in October 2018. In the years since, millions of Canadians have consumed marijuana legally, with usage rates climbing steadily. If marijuana truly triggered psychosis and mass violence on the scale Ingraham and Berenson suggest, Canada would have seen a dramatic rise in gun deaths and shootings. That hasn’t happened.

Statistics Canada data shows the homicide rate in 2019 — the first full year after legalization — actually declined slightly from 2018. Gun deaths have fluctuated year-to-year, but there has been no sudden increase linked to cannabis policy, with mass shootings remain exceedingly rare. The country’s worst modern mass shooting, in Nova Scotia in 2020, involved illegal firearms and police have confirmed that it had nothing to do with marijuana. In response, Canada tightened gun laws further, banning more than 1,500 models of assault-style weapons.

Meanwhile, cannabis consumption has grown. Surveys show that adult use climbed from around 22% in 2018 to about 27% in 2021. Emergency room visits related to cannabis rose somewhat, but public health experts attribute this to more people being willing to disclose use, not to a sudden surge in dangerous outcomes.

In short, Canada provides years of data proving that legalizing marijuana does not drive psychosis-fueled gun deaths or mass shootings. Claims to the contrary are rhetoric, not reality.

The War On Reality is Over

Unwittingly, that New York Times headline is a wondrous case of the self-solving mystery. You come here to understand the many social and political mysteries of the day. I will attempt to unravel this hairball.

Most obviously, the suspect, now dead, in Wednesday’s Minneapolis school shooting was not a “her.” He was a him, a 23-year-old male, Robert Westman, who had been pretending to be a female for some years since undergoing puberty, with the encouragement of his parents and the cultural leaders of his city, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, backed by the expressed principles of the national Democratic Party.

The essence of all that was a gigantic game of pretend, a broad and deliberate dissociation from reality for the purpose of maintaining a political racketeering operation, which is what the Democratic Party had become. Pretend that men can become women. Pretend that Covid vaccinations are safe and effective. Pretend that national borders don’t matter. Pretend that crime is not a social problem. Pretend that riots are mostly peaceful. Pretend that our elections are free and fair. Pretend that “Joe Biden” is president. Pretend that Ukraine is fighting for democracy. And so on. All pretend.

Mayor Frey Wept at Career Criminal George Floyd’s Funeral, Defended Catholic School Shooter

Video footage widely shared on social media showed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pausing at George Floyd’s casket during a memorial. He dropped to one knee, sobbed, and appeared to whisper something.

This display of grief for a career criminal stood in sharp contrast to his response after the August 27, 2025, shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where trans-identifying shooter Robin Westman killed two children and wounded 17 others.

Rather than focusing on the tragedy, Frey used the press conference to criticize Christians for praying and to voice support for the transgender community over alleged insults.

The murder of 19 innocent people, mostly children, as they prayed is a far greater loss than that of George Floyd. Court documents from Harris County, Texas, where Floyd lived most of his life, show he faced nine criminal charges, including three drug cases, two theft charges, trespassing, and aggravated robbery.

His most serious conviction came in 2007, when he and five accomplices forced their way into a woman’s apartment during an armed robbery. He served five years in prison for that crime.

Floyd ultimately died in 2020 after ingesting fentanyl and methamphetamine—substances that kill over 70,000 Americans each year—and resisting arrest for nearly 25 minutes.

The Hennepin County medical examiner reported “fentanyl intoxication” and “recent methamphetamine use” as contributing factors in his death, which was ruled a heart attack.

The person Frey defended, Robin Westman, left behind a manifesto and online posts filled with hatred and violent intent. Authorities are investigating the attack as both a hate crime and an act of domestic terrorism after uncovering extensive anti-Catholic and anti-Christian material.

Westman’s writings and videos revealed a fascination with mass violence. He idolized past killers such as Adam Lanza, Anders Behring Breivik, Brenton Tarrant, and Dylann Roof, often referencing them in posts, videos, and even on his weapons.

The shooter’s arsenal was marked with names of notorious mass murderers responsible for massacres at Sandy Hook, the Tree of Life Synagogue, and Christchurch mosques. In one 20-minute video, Westman repeatedly declared, “I can’t wait to kill and kill and kill,” alongside the refrain, “I fall apart, I break and I die.”

His weapons carried messages that underscored his extremist ideology. Firearms bore slogans such as “Where’s your God now?” and “Kill Donald Trump.” Magazines carried antisemitic and Holocaust denial phrases including, “6 million wasn’t enough.”

A smoke grenade was inscribed with “Jew Gas,” alongside the declaration “Israel must fall” and “Free Palestine.” Other weapons carried phrases like “psycho killer” and “suck on this.”

The manifesto opened with the words, “I don’t expect forgiveness … I do apologize for the effects my actions will have on your lives.”

Later, he admitted, “I have wanted this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away… I am severely depressed and have been suicidal for years. Only recently have I lost all hope and decided to perform my final action against this world.”

The writings also revealed an obsession with killing children and a belief that school shootings were the “awful slaughter of innocents” he most admired.

Thomas Massie Introduces Repeal of Gun-Free School Zones Act

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is pushing a repeal of the Gun-Free School Zones Act (1990) in order to make it easier for law-abiding teachers, faculty, and others, to be armed to fend off would-be attackers on school campuses.

The Gun-Free School Zones Act was put in place by President George H.W. Bush (R), barring the possession of a firearm in a “school zone” and thereby creating myriad gun-free soft targets in places filled with defenseless children, teachers, and school staff.

Massie wants to see the Gun-Free School Zones Act repealed as a way of removing the soft target moniker from schools around the country.

Gun Owners of America praised Massie’s push, saying, “Congress needs to abandon the failed federal gun-free schools policy & arm willing teachers instead!”

America Has A “Transtifa” Problem 

At the start of the year, only eight days into President Trump’s second term, the FBI’s counterterrorism division held an unclassified briefing on an emerging domestic terrorism threat: “Nihilistic Accelerationism.”

Some of the most recent examples of nihilism and accelerationist beliefs can be found alarmingly emanating from the political far-left. Violence, chaos, and destruction are recurring themes found in their online posts, propaganda, manifestos, and civil disobedience (also known as “civil terrorism“). 

Take, for example, the transgender mass shooter last week that carried out a horrific attack against Christians at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis, killing two children and injuring 17 others before taking his own life, wrote in a dark, troubling manifesto posted online that he was “tired of being trans.”

A literal monster.

Self-proclaimed investor and “CIA/NSA contractor/whistleblower” Tony Seruga wrote on X that the demonic transgender mass shooter had attended “at least five antifa protests” and “also appeared to have been present with several Zizians.” Seruga made this claim using GPS data.

Minneapolis Shooter’s Mother Not Speaking To Police

The mother of the man who killed two children at a Minneapolis church and school and left 18 other people wounded is not speaking to authorities, the city’s police chief said on Aug. 28.

“We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother yet at this time,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told a briefing.

The shooter, who killed himself after firing more than 100 rounds during Mass into Annunciation Church and School on Aug. 27, has been identified as Robin Westman, a male who identified as female.

Westman previously attended the school and has attended Mass there, officials said.

Mary Grace Westman, the mother, worked at the parish in the past, O’Hara said.

The church, in a 2021 Facebook post that it has since deleted, posted a picture of Mary Westman and said that it had honored her as she was retiring after working there for five years.

“She has provided such wonderful hospitality, friendship and compassion to all who gathered,” the post stated.

Ryan Garry, a defense attorney, said he has been retained by Mary Westman.

“She is completely distraught about the situation and has no culpability but is seeking an attorney to deal with calls like this,” Garry told Fox News.

Garry did not respond to a request for more information by publication time.

O’Hara said that law enforcement has conducted dozens of interviews with others, including relatives, friends, and associates of Robin Westman.

Authorities have also carried out search warrants at three residences in or near Minneapolis that are connected to the shooter. They’re not sure yet at which residence he was staying immediately prior to the shooting.

There is no sign yet of an event that triggered the shooting, they said.
