And the shooter changed their name from Robbin to Robert and had long hair.

That's it.

Westman may be MtF, may not be. But the videos showing up show they had a HUGE love for mass shooters, hated "pedos," and were anti-semitic. And totally mentally ill.

Nut this noob rushed right here to amke an account and say Westman was trans.


Broken down "it's true, but I don't like it and the noob needs to be banned for life for posting truth!"

Looking at the list in my post here, https://conservativecave.com/cave/index.php?topic=137158.msg1564797#msg1564797 :

Quote
How many of these common boxes will the shooter check off?

* Catch-and Release criminal

* Known wolf with a long criminal record

* Felon who cannot legally possess a fire arm

* One of the Sacred Homeless

* Not legally present in the US

* Anti-Catholic

* Activist for policies/lifestyles contrary to Catholic teaching and practice

The murderer checks off the last two "boxes" at the least. "Sacred Homeless" is still a possibility. His parents signed off on his legal name change, ~5 years ago, but whether he still lived with them I have not read. Apparently he does not have a criminal record, so not a "Known Wolf".

According to what is "known" the murderer used a rifle to shoot from outside through the church window(s). Possibly related, possibly unrelated, yesterday there was a shooting at a Minneapolis high school, where the killer used a .223 rifle. I'm sure police are investigating whether today's murderer did that murder as well.

I believe they do learn. However, in the mind of a filthy democrat, they choose to ignore any truth that cannot be leveraged for political advantage. That is the reason they will purposefully refuse to be intellectually honest.

Westman is not the stereotype you seek, plus or minus being "incel", not getting guys to buy his identification as female and to date him.

From https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/08/another-trans-shooting.php :

Quote
So it is another mass shooting crime committed by a trans person. It has become obvious that trans people commit such crimes at a rate far disproportionate to their numbers. There are at least two possible reasons for this. One, gender dysphoria is a severe mental illness which now is not being treated as mental illness, but rather is being humored and encouraged. Two, trans people who transition are subjected to intense chemical regimens that may well impact behavior or aggravate pre-existing mental illness.

The trans movement has been a disaster in every way and should be re-examined from the ground up.

Once seen, how many femtoseconds would it take for a person posting this on DU to get banned?

... Possibly related, possibly unrelated, yesterday there was a shooting at a Minneapolis high school, where the killer used a .223 rifle. I'm sure police are investigating whether today's murderer did that murder as well.

Here a news article about the high school shooting:

‘Tragic and alarming’: 1 dead, 6 injured in shooting next to Cristo Rey High School in Minneapolis

https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/1-dead-6-injured-in-shooting-next-to-cristo-rey-high-school-in-minneapolis/ (https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/1-dead-6-injured-in-shooting-next-to-cristo-rey-high-school-in-minneapolis/)

Quote
A man is dead and six others are wounded after a shooter sprayed dozens of rounds Tuesday afternoon in what Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara described as a “deeply troubling act of violence.”
...
Police say the shooting happened just before 1:30 p.m. near the intersection of 29th Street East and Clinton Avenue, directly behind Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in the city’s Phillips neighborhood.

“I look down the street and I see somebody standing outside their car, with a big gun just shooting at the crowd,” the witness said. In the video, the sounds of gunfire can clearly be heard, with people fleeing the scene.

Near the intersection, law enforcement found a man dead from apparent gunshot wounds and another man with potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds.

About one or two blocks away from the shooting, on Lake Street, four injured men and one injured woman were found at various locations. Those five people were brought to the hospital and are expected to survive, according to Minneapolis police.
...
“From the Shotspotter notification, we do not believe this to have been fully automatic, but this was a high velocity .223 rifle, ...

I still won't say I believe - let alone "bet", AvPro-style - that Westman was the killer in this shooting, but it verges on plausibility: both shootings done with a rifle; both at Catholic schools; the two schools are about 4 miles apart, mostly along I-35W

Don't care if the shooter is white, African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Jewish, Arab, anti-semitic, Islamaphobe, male, female, trans, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, celibate, young, middle aged, old, married, single, divorced, rich, poor, middle-class, unemployed, employed, conservative, liberal, progressive, moderate, agnostic, atheist, Christian, introvert, or extrovert.

I appreciate your passion against this terrible shooting. But I think your detailed inclusion of every class, nationality, social, and political type is a convenient smokescreen you've created to avoid ID'ing this shooter. You can't force yourself to say "This wasn't a Trump follower."

I just know a few things.
Do tell.

Quote
There is only one American political party and political ideology that has done all in their power to ensure America's Mass Shooters are the MOST EASILY AND HEAVILY ARMED mass shooters on the ****ing planet.
And there is only one party that has worked to ensure violent criminals are not deported and always available to continue attacking us, right here.

Quote
There is only one American political party and political ideology that whipped thousands of violent supporters into a frenzy to attack the United ****ING State Capitol and viciously beat police officers...and then didn't even ****ing whimper when their titular leader pardoned that violent mob.
Bullshit!, and if you bothered to check your sources, you'd already know this.  If you choose to entertain only one side of an issue, it doesn't speak well for your level of "enlightenment". It pays to know what you're talking about. Try it.

Quote
One ****ing party helps ensure violent ****sticks can easily get all the ****ing guns they want, whips them into a frenzy, and let's them know that violence will be pardoned as long as they are on the Reich side of politics.
You've cheered on the ANTIFA and BLM movements that by design were designed to "whip people into a frenzy". And, do you have any idea how many escaped jail time by way of Biden and/or who was calling the shots during the Biden years? Casting the first stone and all that.
Quote
So, go ahead. Have fun trying to put this shooter into some kind of neat little box.
Which brings me to my point. Have you noticed how you're attempting to put over half of this country into a "neat little box"  custom designed, by you to address your ignorant and/or misleading views.

It's a good distraction for who is truly responsible for this carnage.
You bet your ass it is.

According to MPD yesterday, Westman bought his firearms "recently". IOW, no "fascination", instead purchased specifically for the murders he planned and committed.

Printing that to PDF cause it's going to get memory holed as fast as possible.  Can't have anything going against the "transitioning makes trans people happy" narrative floating around. 

For all their claims of being open minded and inclusive, the loony left cannot fathom even if some gender confused folks aren't ticking timebombs of self and public harm, whether they get socially and/or medically affirmed or not, some are and need to be treated as such.  Again, the narrative of affirming and accepting fixes everything is not absolute.

I size the size of my block of salt according to the topic of the report. If the news story is about an earthquake near Kamchatka, a fairly small grain; about "bad news for Trump", a Himalayan-sized block. With conservative outlets, sadly, I am very wary of hype, exaggeration, and my own confirmation bias.
