50% of Catholics are liberal. Most of the Supreme Court is Catholic. Catholics aren't a monolith, they are statistically representative of Americans. Who is targeting Catholics? Is this 1920? |
I voted for Biden and Harris. Don't think that all non MAGA think like you do. We don't. This is man, in women's clothing. They may identify as a woman, but that doesn't mean that they are really a woman. I can identify as a 6' dude, but I'm clearly not because I'm barely 5' and a female, but inside, I really feel like a 6' bada$$. I know .. it's quite pathetic. But, you get my point. |
Right? I cannot understand how anybody can the facts about what happened and think this was anything but extreme mental illness, which is very much entwined with this person's gender dysphoria. Yet, they blame "Republicans" and MAGA. It makes no sense at all. |
Those people are talking about who deserves blame for mentally ill people having access to assault weapons, presumably |

"I am severely depressed and have been suicidal for years."
"Only recently have I lost all hope and decided to perform my final action against this world." Tracks with almost every similar-type shooter. depressed + suicidal + wants notoriety + access to guns You can read the shooter's manifesto here: https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/robin-westman-posted-a-manifesto-on-youtube-prior-to-annunciation-church-shooting/ |
| Why is no one addressing the fact that the shooter is a former student? |
Anti-Catholic hate doesn't care if you're liberal or conservative -- all Catholics are targets. What does the Supreme Court have to do with it? (Twenty-percent of Americans are Catholic, so yes, like Jews at 2.4% of the American population, Catholics have at times been overrepresented on the current Supreme Court.) Of course it's not 1920 (nor 1933), but anti-Catholicism is a scourge that never goes away, as we saw today. |
Most hunters hunt for food. You a vegan? |
Because that hasn’t been confirmed anywhere? And who cares? The shooter’s note didn’t say anything about the school or the church causing the shooter any harm. Because the note said - “No one did anything wrong, but I’m an a**hole and can’t help myself.” |
He didn’t choose the school because it was Catholic, he chose it because he used to go there |
I had not read that. I saw his mom had worked there. |

Focus on the primary issue here: mental illness.
There is no need to focus on gender or race or political views. No sane person guns down people. Stay focused on the issue. I’m curious if anyone has studied mass shooters and tracked their mental health diagnosis, medications, and red flags. ^^^ That’s what matters. Race, gender, religion, politics, etc. are the primary cause. Mental illness prompted this. |
What a loser - goes to shoot up the k-8 school he used to go - too cowardly to try a high school that might have had better security (or at least students better able to hide or defend themselves) |
That is a separate issue from the trans craze. |
Mentally ill, depressed, angry, medicated individuals are not always thinking rationally. |
