Minneapolis Catholic School Shooter was a Racist

What we know about the suspect in the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting
The suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after opening fire through church windows toward children at the Annunciation Catholic School, authorities said.

O’Hara said authorities were working to determine a motive and that police were aware of a "manifesto" that the suspect had timed to be released on YouTube.

“This manifesto appeared to show him at the scene and included some disturbing writings. That content has since been taken down with the assistance of the FBI, and it now remains under active review by our investigators,” O’Hara said.

Westman wrote numerous things on the weapons and magazines featured in the video, including racial slurs, a call for President Donald Trump's death, antisemitic messages and references to the Holocaust and the Catholic Church, according to an NBC review.

The YouTube channel also included video of the suspect flipping through the pages of a journal.

In excerpts from the journal, written using the Russian Cyrillic alphabet for English words, the suspect described her fascination with violence and obsession with mass shootings, particularly those who attacked schools. The suspect also discussed suicide, depression, her own racism and the particulars of carrying out a mass shooting.

A Transformer racist ...You don't say.

Looks definitely dateable to any Democrat on here.

That is the most basic partisan headline yet.

Racist, Trans, Anti Semitic?(or just anti Israel War?), mental illness, admitted fascination with School shooting.

This person was a bag of crazy. Total batshit. Shot up a church his/her mother retired from. Maybe because the mom left due to support for her kid transition and against church doctrine.

This sounds personal to me, wrapped up in mental illnesses, absolutely plural.

Pure unabashed ideologue is who the thread starter is....He's proud of it.

As opposed to all the right-wing racist shooters? Which VASTLY outnumber any other type of mass shooter.

Do you seriously not know what a mass shooting is? I mean....that should be fairly obvious.

Once again..Define mass shooter?

Define mass shooter...

I believe it's defined as any shooting with 4 or more victims.

Really?
You don't know?
When there are multiple victims it is a mass shooting.

How are acts of mass violence connected to white supremacy?

Research has demonstrated that there is a positive correlation between mass violence like shootings and white supremacist ideologies. White supremacy has always been synonymous with acts of terrorism and in the desire to commit large scale murder and violence against its victims: - immigrants, LGBTQ folks, people of the Jewish faith, its naysayers, but mainly Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) in the United States.

It is a common misconception that mental illness is the sole driving force of mass violence. According to the APA, “Recent mass shootings have inevitably led to news reports of the suspected shooters' mental health, but psychological research shows there is no clear link between mental illness and violence”. This myth is not only inaccurate but it leads to a harmful stereotype that people who do suffer from mental health issues are violent. This can lead to very real repercussions, as mental health sufferers are 16 times more likely to be shot and killed by police when seeking emergency intervention. Research indicates that “fewer than 5% of the 120,000 gun-related killings in the United States between 2001 and 2010 were perpetrated by people diagnosed with mental illness.”

There is a direct correlation between the increasing number of mass shootings and the rise of white nationalist groups (which increased from 100 chapters in 2017 to 155 in 2019). There have been documented records of members of the US government, congress, military leaders, and law enforcement being sworn participants in white nationalist organizations. This shows how deep and entrenched the reality of white supremacy ideology in America is.

Only when it suits the gun grab agenda; when there are 4 or more victims in say, Chicago, not so much.

Jesus that means there is loads of mass shootings going on in the inner cities down south.

Wonder who's doing those shootings?

Doesn't matter who is doing the shootings. Guns are the issue.

Legal guns in those inner city shootings?

As usual the righties come up with conspiracy theories about many of the school shooters were "identified as trans":

But only three of the mass shootings cited in Johnson's tweet, not counting Wednesday's incident, were carried out by individuals who were reportedly transgender: the 2023 shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, the 2019 shooting at a Denver-area charter school and the 2018 shooting at a Rite Aid warehouse in Aberdeen, Maryland.

Robin Westman is latest transgender mass shooter to spark national debate

Westman, 23, has been identified by authorities as the suspect in the mass shooting at a Catholic Church and school in Minneapolis.

But the usual righties hate when the killer is also identified as a racist besides being an anti-semite. He also praised the pro-gun proponents. No doubt that the Whitehouse and far right Republicans will try to push the blame on transgenders / mental health but will never blame the gun legislations that are the real cause for concern!!

With him, it is like whipping a dead horse as he will keep on posing the same question over and over again. Thinks he is the online policeman!!

The USA has more guns in civilian hands than the actual population.
They have the highest school shootings per capita of any Nation on Earth and all the Government can do is to send their "Thoughts and Prayers" to the victims.
In reality the Government only caves in to the gun lobbyists and not the children's lives!!

Interesting you would pick Chicago. Did you know that Illinois has fairly strict gun laws. But, you know who doesn't? Indiana. And, for someone in Chicago, it take about 40 minutes to drive to Gary, IN, and buy a gun.

But, you also know what's interesting, you try to deflect on the gun fetish sickness that has engulfed the US in the past 30 years. How many mass shootings have there been in that time? At least 500. I would LOVE to see gun violence across the US get under control. Shockingly, the leading cause of death in children is guns. How fucked up is that statistic, that you would call it a "gun grab agenda?"
