Another senseless act of evil that leaves a nation reeling, families shattered, and—if we’re being honest—a media narrative that’s already setting the table to tiptoe around the obvious. The shooter, Robin Westman, was obsessed with previous mass murderers, hell-bent on achieving notoriety, and—just in case there was any doubt—specifically focused on killing children. Children. And yet, here we go, watching another parade of press conferences trying to make sense of a soul so clearly lost to hatred and darkness that “understanding” is just not on the menu.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the quiet part out loud—“no evidence will ever be able to make sense of this.” You can say that again. But then he tries to thread the needle by saying they’ll do their best to “identify a specific motive.” Let’s help out, shall we? The guy hated Christians, Jews, Black people, Mexicans… pretty much everyone. But the one group he revered? Other mass shooters. Not exactly a subtle pattern.
And here’s where the hypocrisy starts to rear its familiar head. The killer left behind hundreds of pages of hate-filled ramblings, obsessed over mass shooters, and plotted the targeting of innocent kids in a Catholic church. Sound familiar? It should. The echoes of the 2023 Covenant School shooting in Nashville are almost deafening—another Christian space, another lunatic obsessed with mass murder, another young shooter who wanted to be remembered like a twisted pop culture antihero. But in that case, it was a transgender shooter and the manifesto was quickly locked down tighter than Fort Knox. Heaven forbid the public connect the dots.
Robert (Robin) Westman lived in one of the most “affirming” cities in the country.
He changed his name to be more feminine.
He changed his appearance to be more feminine.
He changed his pronouns to be more feminine.
And yet, his mental illness only got worse.

You see, when mass shootings happen and don’t align with the preferred media narrative—i.e., the shooter doesn’t fall into a politically convenient category—the details either get buried or wrapped up in so much bureaucratic tape that people forget the names of the victims before they ever learn the full truth about the attacker. But when the situation can be used to go after gun rights or paint conservatives as the root of all evil, the details hit the airwaves before the crime scene tape even comes down. Double standards don’t just exist; they thrive.
Here we have a case of a mentally deranged individual who fantasized about killing children. Who went to church services, sat among the people he would later attack, and whose own mother worked at the parish. Yet somehow, there’s still this reluctance to call this what it clearly is: a hate crime targeted at Christians and children, motivated by a demonic thirst for infamy. Don’t expect CNN or MSNBC to dwell too long on that angle.

Law enforcement seems genuinely horrified—and rightfully so. Their focus on the victims is commendable. But it’s also clear that society is dancing around some deeply uncomfortable truths. Not only is our culture manufacturing fame-hungry sociopaths, but it’s also creating environments where hate toward traditional institutions—churches, families, the very idea of innocence—is normalized, even encouraged, under the guise of “progress.”
Meanwhile, the same political class that rails against law-abiding gun owners somehow can’t explain how a known disturbed individual trained with firearms without raising any red flags. Sounds like maybe it’s not the guns, but the complete and total breakdown of moral guardrails, cultural sanity, and institutional accountability. But good luck getting a straight answer on that from anyone who spends more time virtue-signaling than governing.

The bottom line? Evil walked into a house of worship and murdered two innocent kids while injuring eighteen others—mostly children. And instead of confronting the societal rot that produces this kind of monster, we’re once again being told it’s all just too complicated to understand. Give us a break. It’s not that complicated. It’s just inconvenient to admit.
