MAGA social-media personality Benny Johnson blamed transgenderism; Westman started identifying as female in 2020, when he was 17. (Robin Westman used to be Robert Westman.)
“The trans movement is radicalizing the mentally ill into becoming violent terrorists who target children for murder,” Johnson posted on X. The writer and activist Christopher F. Rufo added that the transgender movement “has done grave damage to millions of Americans, and has unleashed a nihilistic wave of violence on our society. Enough.”
The anti-gun activists blamed guns. “Back to school should never mean back to school shootings,” Moms Demand Action tweeted shortly after the shooting. “This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis.”
Conservatives, hoping perhaps to deflect the blame from guns, blamed mental illness. “This is the profile, all too common in such cases, of a young person who is mentally ill,” The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board noted.
Meanwhile, former Democratic lawmaker Dave Aronberg, in Florida, singled out Westman’s Jew hatred. “Antisemitism starts with Jews, but never ends with Jews,” Aronberg tweeted.
And the antisemites blamed the Jews. “Westman is a racial jew, that’s how you have ‘Satanic jewish’ people,” the X account Six Million posted. “Ffs.”
All that finger-pointing obscures a deeper point: Westman seems to have been driven by an all-consuming, destructive force, a nihilism—the conviction that life is meaningless; that words like truth, justice and God are empty slogans; that everything must be razed.
— Peter Savodnik in Robin Westman and the Rise of American Nihilism
“Conservatives, hoping perhaps to deflect the blame from guns, blamed mental illness.”
No, we are not “hoping perhaps to deflect the blame from guns”.
Why is it that anti-gun people and the left wing think all we care about is ‘guns’? That is a lie they tell them selves so they can feel ‘morally superior’. They think we are callous and cold and its ‘Muh rights, no matter how many mentally ill people kill others.’
Nothing could be further from the truth.
We are outraged, horrified, devastated, we grieve and mourn, over the lives ruined and taken and devastated and that those who cause this, that the mentally ill killers exist and happen. Even more so, vastly more so, than the anti-gun and left wingers who always want to turn it into a political and money-raising event and start attacking constitutional rights and others to sh9ift the blame away to their own agendas – and its that way because we ‘conservatives’ recognize that intentionally or not the real cause is not ‘guns’ and law abiding people having 2A rights but rather the cause is the heinous monsters behind these acts emboldened and facilitated and aided and participated-with by the liberal left wingers, so called ‘progressives’, and democrat politicians who created this ‘environment’ where all this could thrive.
So when ‘mentally ill person’ acts happen, like trans killer Robert Westman (AKA ‘Robin’ Westman), like the trans killer Audrey Hale, like the trans killers of the trans murder cult, like the 42 other violent trans in the last few months who have shot others, like the trans who conducted the mass-shooting attack against ICE, like the trans who attack others around the country hundreds of time daily, the violent criminals allowed to roam free under ‘progressive’ policy, the left wingers celebrating a human-trafficker illegal alien who human trafficked hundreds into labor and sex slavery including children, like the illegal aliens who have committed murder and rape being protected by democrat politician ‘sanctuary policy’, see democrat politicians siding with terrorist and calling for the demise of our country and civil war on the very floor of Congress – and then see the left wing media try to bury it or excuse it or shift the blame with their propaganda-spew, see the thousands of Trantifa and left wingers on line and democrat politicians celebrating this mental illness and murder and previsions and decadence and calling for more violence – yeah, we are gonna say something about it and its got nothing to do with ‘guns’.
So excuse us ‘Conservatives’ if we say something about it all in its various obvious and blatant and intentional form, and point out it being used as an excuse to take away a constitutional right that has nothing to do with this and calls for such being used as a means to further excuse the mental illness and murder and previsions and decadence and calling for more violence in this ‘environment’ created by liberal left wingers, so called ‘progressives’, and democrat politicians.
I am sad for the children. It seems to me that the Minneapolis liberals reap what they have sown. Drilling down further: the Parents, the Church(s), the Politicians can’t seem to correct the aberrant behavior in it’s early stages, but blindly embrace it. There is no wrong or right with these folks.
Just two years ago, another trans 20-something named Audrey Hale murdered kids and adults in a Christian school in Nashville. They buried the manifesto and locked down the case. There was a reason for this, that reason being to avoid the violent trans and overall left-wing liberal violence threat from being exposed.
As a demographic the left wing, along with left wing media, it seems is very bad at pattern-recognition – we on the right, as a demographic, call it ‘conservatives’ if you want, gun-owners or not are not bad at pattern-recognition. We on the right, as a demographic, call it ‘conservatives’ if you want, gun-owners or not, see whats going on in the pattern – we’ve seen trans shootings in Colorado and in Maryland, and other areas of the country, we’ve seen the trans mass-shooting shooting up an ICE facility in Texas, we’ve seen the trans firebombings and expressed violent ideological extremism, we’ve seen the videos and posts on line, with collectively, thousands of trans and their allies calling for violence, we’ve seen the public statements of TRANTIFA calling for the murder of biological women and their children being abducted to be butchered to force convert them to an opposite gender, we’ve seen the trans community tyranny to try to force us with threats and violence and ‘law’ and ‘frankestein’ish’ pseudo science butchery and drugs to bend to the will of ‘trans’ and surrender our children to them, the so called ‘trans/LGBTQ community’ even has their own publications calling for violence in print, even in their own ‘community’ the amount of trans-on-trans or trans-on-LGBTQ violence is staggering, and so much more that has been buried and hidden by the left wing and left wing media. We on the right, as a demographic, call it ‘conservatives’ if you want, gun-owners or not, we’ve seen the pattern and recognize it.
So no, not this time, its going to be called out …. no buried manifesto, none of this trying to excuse the mental illness and hatred motivations away by blaming it on guns, none of this excusing trying to pretend it does not exist.
Is it every liberal or trans person? No, but it is way too many (and also considering their ‘political allies’ and the trans community actions like above) to not call it a majority of them and its way to many of them to not consider it the violent threat it has become.

Man pretending to be a woman says he doesn’t feel bad for the parents of the children kiIIed by the Minnesota transgender church shooter because they are Christians.”

The man was severely brain damaged. He even recognized that as evidence by his writing. I blame democrats entirely for fostering this sickness and perversion on us. Those children’s blood is on their hands.
All this goes without saying really, when one cannot accept what Nature made them, and want to change that, they are mentally ill.
Big Al,
Can I throw in a hearty “Amen”!?!?!
A man can never ‘become’ a woman. A woman can never ‘become’ a man. Arguing to the contrary is seriously deranged. Sure, there are ‘gay’ men, and ‘gay’ women (I wish we could reclaim that word), and I wish them no evil. I hope they live happy lives. Two rules I think the taxpaying public is entitled to insist on: (1) We don’t care what your kink is, as long as you are a consenting adult, but stay away from our kids, and (2) No, we won’t pay for, or “affirm” your insanity.
Doesn’t seem like a giant ask, does it??
I’m glad that elon musk purchased twitter. Because if this was some other platform, they would have deleted all of these pictures and postings by this child murderer.
Now, according to the libertarians, liberals and the leftists. I am supposed to ignore what my lying eyes are telling me.
Savodnik is correct in this quote. (I’d like to read the rest but don’t want to subscribe to the link.) Anyway, there is a deep seated “victim complex” in these young mass murderers of either political spectrum. Never in human history has “victimhood” (sometimes disguised as “intersectionality”) been given such status and so unabashedly sold to young people. Over time it develops into hate, rage, hopelessness, and yes nihilism…particularly to those with mental health issues already. This confused young MAN wanted to “get back” at the world. A recent article quoted a poll showing a high percentage of Gen Z doesn’t think the world will exist in twenty years due to either war or climate disaster. This was used to explain the perceived lack of ambition in so many of them. Not sure I agree with that broad brush logic, but it’s true they are being force fed a continuous stream of negative news about the climate, food supply, economy, geo politics, opportunities etc. They are led to not believe the “American Dream” is attainable or in American exceptionalism in any form. They certainly aren’t being spiritually encouraged or directed. Nihilism is the end result.
Tranzgenderism* is NOT the cause. It’s a symptom. If you want to find something in common with these killers, then look at their broken family/relationship life. No one ever wants to talk about that.

That’s because the Libertarians Liberals and the Left disagreed with the Christians. Who said a father is necessary in the home.
The three L’s have never supported the traditional family structure. They will always prefer a secular welfare state.
This case, as with many previous events, is very complicated. Blaming your favorite enemy or issue is kneejerk reactionary waste of energy. There are no simple causes, therefore the solution is equally complex. This soon after the incident the public does not know enough of the background to make an informed opinion. As a retired homicide detective, the talking head retired police “experts” often are no more informed of the facts and evidence as are the rest of the public. If you must post an opinion, at least pause for a while and make it an informed opinion.
Why are the troons so obsessed with christians?
Granted, I’m not up on my bibble but I doubt there’s anything in there about it being a sin to larp. Self mutilation is probably listed as a bad thing though. And given that virtually all of these religious texts overlap content by some 90% depending on how literally or analogous you take them their ire should be equally directed at judiaism and islam yet many of them somehow see the homo-roof-tossing, gay-immolating spawn of the pedo-prophet as a safe space to run to.
Their wide ranging inconsistencies and propensity to latch onto any ideology seen as being even remotely counter-culture aligned is a sign of an unstable mind.
Hearing voices is always bad. Unless the voices tell you you’re trapped in the wrong body then it’s brave, strong and the world should bend to your delusion. And if the world doesn’t you’re obligated to act so they believe.
Putting up with this nonsense isn’t helping any of us. Least of all those sick people.
They’re obsessed with Christians because the drones are doing what they’re told. Drones don’t use logic. Democrats see religion as a threat.
Look at history. Communist regimes have historically been against religion, viewing it as a threat to their authority and ideology. Democrats are no different. The only reason they’re focusing on Christianity while ignoring Islam and Judaism is that Jews and Muslims tend to vote for Democrats. For the time being, the enemy of their enemy is a friend.
There’s a reason Democrats constantly attack certain demographics: they target people who aren’t likely to vote for them. They get their army of drones to do the same.

You ever heard of a leftoxenomorph?
That faggoty being was a leftoxenomorph.
The religion of leftoxenomorphism trains their poisonous sub-human soldier-ants to act as it did.
Yes, they are “it”s, not humans.

It explains a lot.
