Blame Game: Robin Westman!

The shooter was angry. So angry to take out children.

The far right is breathing their smoke without fire. So here we go.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!

Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:
  • Black
  • Muslim
  • Immigrant
  • Arab
  • A member of the LGBTQ community 
  • A disgruntled employee 
  • A former student
  • A current student
  • A white man who has conservative views
  • A person with easy access to firearms
The person with easy access to firearms should be the only answer. Alas, the far right is hoping for this to be a person they can scapegoat as their next de jour of outrage.

The suspect is 23 years old. The suspect is White. 

The suspect was a transgender woman. The suspect was identified by the feds.

There were 340 mass shootings.

Police officers killed so far: 60 killed.

School shootings so far: 90 school shootings.

Only in America, how many more mass shootings must we deal with before we finally curb gun violence?
The mass shootings have to total 100 or more dead.
An elected official will be shot and killed.
A terrorist will target a protected group.
Police officers will be killed by a gunman.
All of these above.

President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Amy Klobachur (D-MN), Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), the U.S. House members of Minnesota, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, Pope Leo XIV, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were notified.

Just so you know, members of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party are associated the the U.S. Democratic Party. Any member who is DFL is referred as Democrat.
The shooter was ranting before carrying out the mass shooting.

Okay, the blame will go to the LGBTQ community. Unfortunately, the blame should always go to the shooter. The shooter had easy access to firearms, had a manifesto, a motive and grievances. The junk food media will not release the manifesto because it upsets victims. It is the censorship that comes with empathy.

Robin Westman who was then Robert before 17 was the shooter. So I will refer the suspect as "she/her" or "them/they". I am not misgendering the suspect because of the crime. It doesn't matter. The victims are always a priority to me.

But I am getting tired of the noise.

A shooter opened fire Wednesday morning during Mass at a Minneapolis Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 other people before dying by suicide, officials said.

Police said 14 of the injured were children, with their ages ranging from 6 to 15, and they are all expected to survive. The three adults who were injured are parishioners in their 80s, officials said.

The shooting happened at Annunciation Catholic School, just days after the first day of school on Monday.

“It’s my strongest desire that no state, no community, no school ever experiences a day like this,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said.

The White House said in a social media post that Trump ordered flags at half-staff for all government buildings until sunset on Sunday “as a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence.”

Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol and a motive has not yet been identified.

He said Westman, did not have an extensive known criminal history, acted alone and legally purchased the weapons recently.

The shooter was a former student. The shooter's mother was possibly a target.

Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, and the mayor decried hatred being directed at “our transgender community.” Westman’s gender identity is not clear. In 2020 a judge approved a petition, signed by Westman’s mother, asking for a name change from Robert to Robin, saying the petitioner “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

Former Kentucky state lawmaker Bob Heleringer told The Associated Press that he is Westman’s uncle but had not seen Westman in a few years. He added that he “barely knew” Westman, whose family “never lived in Louisville. They lived in Minnesota.”

Speaking in a phone interview, Heleringer said he wished Westman “had shot me instead of innocent schoolchildren.”

Police say they are aware of video material apparently time-released by the suspected shooter and of possible writings shared by the person.

A YouTube channel titled Robin W had at least two videos that were captured before being taken down by the site.

In one that lasts about 10 minutes, the alleged shooter shows weapons and ammunition. Many have sayings written on them including the phrases “kill Donald Trump” and “Where is your God?” Some are in Cyrillic.

The person holds up a letter to relatives, sings the word “tomorrow” and says, “I’m sorry to my family ... that’s the only people I’m sorry to.”

A second, almost 20-minute video shows two journals with stickers, some depicting weapons. The alleged shooter flips to what looks to be a drawing of the layout of the church, points to two outside windows and then stabs the illustration with a long knife.

Innocent children.

This was the second mass shooting in Minneapolis within 48 hours, as another gunman killed one man and injured six behind Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, also a Catholic school, on August 26. Annunciation Catholic School enrolls students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.

Annunciation Catholic Church and its affiliated parochial school have been in southwest Minneapolis for more than a century. The parish community held its first Mass in 1922, and on September 10, 1923, four Dominican Sisters opened Annunciation School to 72 students in a new red-brick church–school building.

Enrollment in the most recent school year prior to the shooting it served about 340 students.[3] The school today serves grades pre-K through 8th grade.

Academically and religiously, Annunciation offers daily religion classes and emphasizes service projects at each grade level. The school is authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School for the Primary Years Programme, receiving authorization in 2018.

Annunciation also maintains a sister-school relationship in Lรฉogรขne, Haiti, where "Annunciation Lรฉogรขne" opened in 1998 in partnership with Mission Haiti Inc.

The shooting took place during the first week of classes for the Annunciation School, during an all-school Mass that was scheduled at 8:15 a.m. CDT.

At approximately 8:30 a.m. CDT, a woman dressed in black clothing and armed with a rifle, began firing at the building from the outside. Witnesses reported that she shot between 50 and 100 rounds at worshippers through the stained-glass windows using a semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol before taking her own life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the parking lot two minutes later.

Police Chief Brian O'Hara indicated that the shooting appeared to be from mostly outside the church with some doors barred from the outside.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) responded to the scene. Despite initial reports of explosives, none were found, although the perpetrator had a sort of firework that resembled a smoke grenade. An all-clear alert was sent from the city's X account at 9:29 a.m. CDT.

Westman grew up in Richfield and reportedly attended Annunciation School.

Westman's father's house less than a mile from the church was cordoned off with crime scene tape and police were stationed outside. Westman posted two ten and twenty minute long YouTube videos with writings that reference suicide, depression, "extremely violent thoughts and ideas," an apology to their family and a handwritten sketch of the interior layout of a church. A video also showed a number of guns, bullets and magazines. Messages were written on the guns, including antisemitic, racist and and a message saying "Kill Donald Trump". The channel was taken down shortly after the uploads.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey said the city would set up a family resource center for those affected. He said: "This kind of act of evil should never happen, and it happens far too often," that the community must "wrap around the families affected," was "so deeply sorry" for residents' loss. Frey also rejected any thoughts and prayers, as the victims had been "literally praying". Minnesota governor Tim Walz offered his condolences to those that had been affected by the shooting.

Embattled Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and former Democratic vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota stated that she was heartbroken and that her prayers were with all those impacted.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had been briefed about the shooting and was praying for everyone involved. He also ordered all flags to be flown at half-mast.

Bishop Kevin Kenney, an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and alumnus of Annunciation School, comforted families of the victims at Hennepin County Medical Center. Pope Leo XIV sent a telegram to Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Saint Paul and Minneapolis expressing his condolences and assuring "spiritual closeness" with those affected by the shooting.

WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

Trump gave us open season.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. 

Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. 

You know the story.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.

Are you tired of hearing "thoughts and prayers", "my deepest condolences", "our hearts going out to" and "we're thinking about the victims" from politicians?

Are you tired of the scapegoating from politicians and media agitators?

Are you sick of the noise rambling on about not talking about "the elephants in the room?"

Keep reminding the politicians that they're not safe either. Some person with a grievance will legally obtain a firearm and target them too.

Keep pressure on them with Israel. 

Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid. 

Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.

Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.

Expect more.

Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well. 

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend's social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline's website or the Crisis Text Line's website.

The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
