Yet again we see it: leftism leads to derangement and violence.
The young man who opened fire at a morning mass at Annunciation Catholic Church School in Minneapolis, murdering two children and injuring at least seventeen others, on Wednesday morning has been identified as Robin Westman, a walking poster child for the psychological and social hazards of leftism. Like so many leftists, Westman hated Donald Trump, Israel and Jews, and God himself, and was a man who believed that he was a woman. And like an increasing number of leftists, Westman ultimately turned to violence and embraced unimaginable evil. Yes, there is a pattern, and yes, it’s time we noticed.
The popular Libs of TikTok X account pointed out one part of the pattern: “Minnesota Church Shooting: Trans. Republican Party Firebombing: Gender Fluid. Nashville Shooter: Trans. Colorado Tesla Arsonist: Trans. Colorado Springs shooter: Nonbinary. Aberdeen shooter: Trans. Denver school shooter: Trans. Iowa school shooter: Trans/genderfluid. AMC stabber: Trans. Are you starting to see a pattern here? IT’S AN EPIDEMIC.”
And yes, there is no doubt that if you’re at war with reality to the extent that you’re a man who will insist he is a woman, or a woman who insists she is a man, you are likely harboring a rage against the natural order of things, and the creator of that order, that can all too easily spill over into an overpowering desire to destroy what that creator has made.
In the case of Robin Westman, there is more as well. He seems to have posted “a disturbing video” that “shows ‘kill Donald Trump’ and ‘for the children’ scrawled on gun magazines.” On other magazines, he (or someone) wrote “Where is your God?” and “F**k everything that you stand for.”
That’s a neat summation of what the left stands for in the late summer of 2025. Leftism, in its all-consuming desire to destroy Western civilization and the United States as the foremost contemporary exponent of that civilization, has worked hard to indoctrinate a generation (and more) of American children with hatred for their own homeland and heritage, and contempt for the “racist slaveowners” who founded this nation.
Contempt for Christianity has been an integral part of this miseducation program, which has gone on in the popular culture as much as it has in the classroom. Going back to Martin Scorsese’s execrable 1991 remake of the thriller Cape Fear and beyond that, cinematic portrayals of Christians have almost always portrayed them as either cruel psychopaths or ineffectual fools, while wise, knowing characters are invariably people whose morality or outlook contradicts Christian teaching.
The demonization of Donald Trump is a more recent phenomenon, beginning only when he first announced his candidacy for president in 2015, but it has been no less virulent and relentless. Then there is Israel, the unjustly maligned recipient of the world’s condemnation ever since Barack Obama began bringing U.S. policy toward the Jewish state in line with the perspectives of the international left.
Robin Westman, like so many other young men, imbibed all of this, and it is likely that those around him never gave it all a second thought, or realized that anything was amiss. He was merely reflecting the views of the majority, the views that people in authority everywhere and the leading lights of the culture assure us are the views of the enlightened, the awake (“woke”), the aware, the discerning, the thoughtful, the intelligent, as opposed to the views of the racist redneck yahoos who want to destroy all the gains we’ve made as a society and take us back to the dark ages.
Meanwhile, leftist leaders have been increasingly open about the need to be rough with those redneck yahoos. “Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption — but I am now,” said far-left Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker back in April. “These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace.” That was after Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-Victimhood) said in February: “This will be a congressional fight, a constitutional fight, a legal fight, and on days like this a street fight, yes we will stand.” And that was not long after House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Hey, I’m a Victim Too) said this of the “extreme MAGA Republican agenda”: “We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.”
Before them, it was Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and Kamala Harris inciting leftist violence. And let’s not forget Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-Grillmaster) saying in 2020, when condemning the pro-life leanings of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price.”
Leftists outside of politics joined in the fun as well: remember, to take just a few of many available examples, Kathy Griffin holding Trump’s bloody severed head, or Madonna saying she wanted to blow up the White House, or Robert DeNiro bellowing that he wanted to punch Trump in the face.
Robin Westman is the man they have made. At Annunciation Church on Wednesday morning, we saw where leftism leads.

Parents really need to end this insanity before it even starts. Yeah you’ll get the psychological blackmail from your kid or their doctors or counselors but if you love them you have to be truthful
John says
AMEN ✝️

Parents need to say no to their children’s fantasies and self harm they do to themselves. Grooming teachers , drag queens and other pedos should be punished when trying to “befriend” under age children. The doctors ,”counselors” who make a living on this , the media that is pushing sexual charged issues ,roles into children’s entertainment should be shut down.THe age to drink nation wide is 21 to protect our youth maybe that should be the age you can start legally to “transition”?
Westman says
It’s rather obvious why the shooter chose the catholic school as the target. He was a mentally deranged protestor against Israel for Hamas/Palestinians with an intent for revenge on Jews and their supporters. It appears that “6 million not enough” was scrawled on his equipment.
Synagogues have taken steps for security. The shooter’s shallow knowledge of Christianity led him to believe that the Catholic church was a supporter of Israel and that made it a proxy target in his mind. The Catholic school had no security equal to the Synagogues and was chosen as an easier target.
This attack was a proxy killing of the children of people the shooter believed were supporters of Israel and Jews. He chose children with the notion that people can be terrorized the most by destroying what they love most.
I also blame the anti-Israel protestors and their rhetoric for providing an encouragement for this evil person to carry out terrorism and mayhem.
WPM says
He could hate both Christians and Jews and normal family role models in general. Both tradition Christians and Jewish traditions culture ,norms and tradition western society believe in only two genders and the tradition family unit(that is till just 2 decades ago for western society). The mocking of the Catholic church by the rainbow gay mafia has been going on for decades ,the hate for that church in the trans “community” is very strong. He had alot of hate and confusing going on the irony is in a Moslem majority country they would kill him without a second though. It was not a “proxy ” killing in my opinion he hated and knew his target. He would gladly kill both Christian children praying or Jewish children praying in a house of worship.. Jack up on conflicting hormones other mind bending drugs ,anti-western and anti-family media BS these mental ill people are only encouraged to indulge to the point of losing their minds..
somehistory says
Evidently, the church people asked the governor for some security funds and he said ‘no.’
And, yes, all who advocate this are guilty when some fool killer murders others. They may not face a human judge, but they will be held accountable.
Westman says
That’s sad SE, it could have been prevented. I wonder what the Governor says now?
somehistory says
Yes, Westman. Little kids are dead and others injured for the decision the goon made. Imagine if he had been elected VP.
I haven’t seen any reports about his burbles after the murders.
WPM says
Tampon Tim keeps to the woke script blames guns not the shooter does not want the Trans “community” hurt or stereotyped by the actions of this lone wolf attack. Much like when a Moslem gets the jihad fever ,lone wolf mental illness ,but nether Islam or trans “community” people are called mental ill for their crazy beliefs that encourage violence on unbelievers or doubters .Both have a hate for Christians that have that in common.

A mentally unbalanced person can be a leftist or anything else. However, when an ideology becomes so polarized and resentful that it makes a call to action (i.e. violence) there’s a problem. When polarization requires its adherents to buy into the entire program that polarization becomes a problem — people stop thinking for themselves. The right is just as much at fault for this polarization as the left.
Wat ever happened to the middle group which agreed with some of the policies from each side and were not merely blind followers of one side or the other? They used to be the majority.

I’m just wondering what policy from the left on this issue is acceptable? I don’t think the policy of the right is to hurt trans people, we just don’t think underage people should be able to alter their minds and bodies until adulthood

I don’t think any one policy was involved but rather an intensely violent attitude arising from the polarization. Polarization denies meaningful dialogue that could moderate opposing positions but when dialogue doesn’t exist (blame whoever you want for that) the polarization becomes more deeply entrenched and volatile. That’s what I believe anyway.

I would like to know who he socialized with. I have a feeling he got some really bad ideas from fellow travelers. I actually feel bad for the kid in this regard: his parents failed him miserably.

I suspect that he would socialize with those who gave validity to his sexual identity. i.e. he now belonged somewhere. The right wouldn’t accept his identity so he turned to those who would — the left. BUT there were other aspects of the left that he would have to accept to be fully accepted.
In other words he may or may not have held these views before joining but he would have to accept them to be fully accepted. AND his isolation was over.
Just my thoughts.

My mistake. Mea culpa. Today’s revelations show he was no part of any philosophy or group except HATE. No leftist connection just attracted to school shootings and has been for years.
Just a sicko.

100 % agree.

This malady is nothing new in human history. Proverbs states ” that there is nothing new under the sun when it comes to evil . ” This trans/ tranny malady was surely in process in Sodom and Gomorrah. God took care of that and He will take care of this too . ✝️

Agreed.
James Lincoln says
During the past few years, I have noticed that the Christian churches that I have attended have – quietly – employed armed security.
I know some of these security people personally and always thank them for their service.
Tragically, in this day and age, armed security in churches is a must.
John says
I agree , my home church ⛪️, all the pastors are armed up, half of rest of the choir, over half of the whole congregation . Amen 🙏 ✝️

It appears on one report he scrawled “Rashallah” on one of his magazines too…so pro-Islam!!!
