The Trans, Catholic-Hating, Omnicause Killer

I don’t mention the names of mass shooters. One of the reasons I don’t is because — as with regard to the mass shooter at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis — mass shooters take inspiration from one another. They look for publicity.

Social science tends to support this: If you deprive mass shooters of notoriety, if you deprive them of name recognition, it doesn’t spawn as many mass shooters in the future.

But I will use the first name of the shooter here because it’s important to the story.

The first name of the shooter is purportedly Robin. I say purportedly because the shooter’s original name was not Robin. The shooter’s original name was Robert. This is important to the story because this person was a trans radical who believed — as deeply as it is possible to believe — in what can best be termed the Omnicause: The gigantic aggregation of radical Left-wing beliefs, that if you buy into one, you have to buy into all.

When you look at the evidence from the crime, if you look at the actual guns used which had Left-wing radical slogans etched into them or painted on them; if you look at the shooter’s diaries, documents left behind, and videos, what you will see is a massive number of Left-wing propagandistic slogans, which speaks to the radicalization that happens online.

It also speaks to the fact that people who are emotionally disturbed buy into a broader worldview that promotes violence. It suggests that you are living in a world where you have no control or that shadowy forces control everything about you and your life. And this means that out of despair and enervation, you’re going to go commit horrific acts of violence.

That pattern, repeated across school shooters — and they don’t have to be trans — embodies a deep embeddedness in conspiracy theories about the world; a belief that they themselves are wronged by the world, that the world has done some wrong to them, and they are going to take it out on the world, on the most innocent, in order to gain attention for their particular agenda.

So who was the shooter?

In his deranged writings, he gleefully fantasizes about being that scary, horrible monster standing over those powerless kids and speaks of his admiration for the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre. There are many shooters that are mentioned by this shooter in his manifesto, in his videos, painted on the guns themselves, which is the reason I’m not mentioning the full name of the shooter.

The shooter applied to change his birth name from Robert to Robin in Dakota County, Minnesota, when he was 17 years-old, according to the court documents. That name change was granted in January 2020. The application happened when he was a minor, which means that his parents had to sign off on it. The petition added that the shooter “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

A perverse ideology that masks true mental illness as simply a result of society’s intolerance promotes serious, depressive, violent mental illness. Ignoring mental illness does not make it go away. Pretending that mental illness is something else — that it’s merely a rebellion against the strictures of a conservative and patriarchal society — is a lie and promotes mental illness, sometimes violent mental illness.

Another page of the shooter’s diary stated, “I’m feeling good about Annunciation. It seems like a good combo of easy attack form and devastating tragedy, and I want to do more research. I have concerns about finding a large enough group. I want to avoid any parents but pre and post school drop off. Maybe I could attack an event at the onsite church. I think attacking a large group of kids coming in from recess is my best plan. Then from there I can go inside and kill, going for as long as I can.”

When it comes to the politics of the shooter, we should point out he was a trans radical, and this is relevant to the story.

There are stereotypes that we jump to when it comes to mass shootings. If there’s a shooting at a synagogue, the immediate mental jump — for good reason — is either a Muslim radical or a white supremacist. That’s because, historically speaking, those are the kinds of people who shoot up a synagogue. If there’s a shooting at a Catholic church, the immediate jump now is either to a Muslim radical or to a trans radical.

There’s a reason for that. The list of violent incidents that now indicate trans suspects or self-identified trans suspects include the Covenant school shooting in Nashville, where the police tried to cover the trans issue, even though we knew right away what the likely rationale for the shooting was.

But because the media did not want that to fall on the radical trans agenda, which suggests that religious institutions are brutal and evil to trans people and trying to “erase” them — which is the equivalent of killing them — and because the media did not want to open that can of worms, they decided that they were simply going to cover it up for years. But that was, in fact, a trans radical driven crime.

Another was the Stem School Highlands Ranch shooting in California. A story that was largely buried is that the suspect who was targeting Justice Brett Kavanaugh identified online as a trans gamer girl. There’s the controversial Club Q shooting in Colorado, where the suspect — who may have been trolling — claimed to be non-binary. There was an attempted school shooting in Maryland in which the alleged suspect identified in this way. There was the burning of a Tesla in Michigan. There was an attempted knife attack on an ICE facility in Portland.

The legacy media have no problem trying to identify Right-wing trends in crime. But when the ideology is on the other foot, they run screaming away from it.

That’s because the biggest issue they are trying to sell is this: Incidents like this must not redound to the detriment of trans ideology, which is a delusional ideology. Men cannot become women. That idea has no scientific backing.

When you spread the propaganda that hormone replacement therapy and surgeries are going to make your depressive, suicidal eyed kid into a wonderful member of the opposite gender, you are not helping your child. You are harming your child.

It certainly has consequences when your claim is — as the claim of the trans radical Left is, and much of the mainstream Left — that denying that a man can become a woman is a form of death, that it’s a form of erasure in which you are removing someone’s identity, a form of soul killing.

And you shouldn’t be particularly surprised when that rhetoric gets very violent, very quickly.

Those were Catholic kids who were murdered for being Catholic by a trans radical. Why is that important? Because the ideology that lies behind trans, language that is routinely used by the trans radical community and now the entire Democratic Party, is an inherently violent ideology. It says that if you personally refuse to acknowledge that a man can become a woman, you have engaged in an act of violence.

If you claim that people who oppose your ideology are trying to kill you, that really leaves you very few responses.

I’m not saying that everyone trans is going to become a murderer or that everyone who’s promoting trans ideology is spurring people to murder.

But as always, when it comes to the connection between rhetoric and ideology and actual action, if you keep raising the temperature on that boiling pot of water, it will bubble over.
