A horrific attack at a Minneapolis Catholic school has left two innocent children dead and 18 others wounded. Robin Westman, a 23-year-old transgender shooter, opened fire on Wednesday morning at Annunciation Catholic Church before taking her own life. This was not random violence but a calculated attack on Christians and children.
The victims were just 8 and 10 years old, gunned down while at their place of worship and learning. Fourteen other children were among the wounded in what federal officials are calling both terrorism and a hate crime against Catholics. These families will never be the same after this evil act.
Westman had attended the school as a student and knew the building well. She legally bought three weapons and wrote detailed plans in notebooks about attacking children during recess. The shooter even noted how easy it was to buy guns from a pawn shop, showing this attack was planned for some time.
Dr Drew and other experts are right to point out the serious mental health issues at play here. This goes far beyond simple gender confusion into dangerous territory that our society refuses to address honestly. When ideology becomes more important than getting troubled people real help, innocent children pay the price.
The shooter’s own writings revealed confused thoughts about gender identity, admitting to not feeling like a woman despite the legal name change from Robert to Robin. This internal chaos should have been a red flag for family and authorities. Instead, our culture celebrates these struggles instead of treating them.
We cannot ignore that this attack specifically targeted Catholics and children at a religious school. Christian communities across America are under assault from multiple directions, and now we see violence added to the cultural attacks. This hate crime deserves the same attention as any other religiously motivated terrorism.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Westman a deranged monster, which is exactly right. We need leaders who will speak plainly about evil instead of making excuses. Our children deserve protection from those who would harm them in the name of twisted ideologies.
This tragedy shows what happens when we stop calling mental illness what it is and start celebrating it instead. Real compassion means getting disturbed people help before they hurt others. Until we return to common sense about basic biology and mental health, more innocent lives will be lost.
