A Transgender Flag Burns in the Aftermath of Another Trans Mass Shooting
A Nation in Mourning, A Pattern The LGB Community – and the Nation – Can’t Ignore
The 2nd Amendment has an unlikely ally in its long battle to remain as the law of the land – the transgendered community. On August 27, 2025, at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, 23-year-old Robin Westman opened fire during morning Mass. Two children were killed, 17 more wounded, and a community ripped apart.

Westman, who legally changed names in 2020 and identified as transgender, carried multiple firearms, inscribed them with hateful slogans, and left behind disturbing manifestos praising past shooters. The FBI is treating the massacre as domestic terrorism and a possible anti-Catholic hate crime.
But rather than ask the obvious questions, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey lectured the public: “Anybody using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community has lost their sense of common humanity.” (Them.us)
So to recap: two children dead, a school terrorized — but the mayor’s first priority is making sure nobody notices the shooter’s identity.
The Pattern They Swear Doesn’t Exist
This isn’t the first time America has seen a trans-identified mass shooter:
- Nashville 2023 — a female-to-male trans shooter killed six at Covenant School.
- Colorado Springs 2022 — the Club Q shooter identified as “non-binary” in filings.
- Aberdeen, Maryland 2018 — a trans-identified shooter killed three at a warehouse.
Now add Minneapolis.
The press insists it’s all coincidence. An AP Fact Check says only four out of thousands of mass shootings since 1999 involved trans or non-binary shooters. (AP)
Yet when a shooter is male, white, or conservative, those same outlets declare entire demographics guilty by association. Here? Shhhh. Light another candle, tweet “Love Wins,” and move on.
The Media’s Fire Drill
If the shooter had a Trump sticker on their bumper, CNN would still be running a chyron: “Republican Radicalization Killing Kids.”
But when the shooter is transgender? Suddenly it’s about not stigmatizing communities.
MSNBC’s Jen Psaki even managed to turn this bloodbath into an attack on prayer itself, mocking “thoughts and prayers” while ignoring the bullets. (NY Post)
When children are murdered, prayer is not the problem. But a radicalized subculture playing with fire? That just might be.
Why Does This Keep Happening?
Possible answers:
- Identity conflict — when your entire worldview is built on denying reality, it doesn’t always end well.
- Radical online echo chambers — forums and feeds that preach “the world is out to get you” create time bombs.
- Pharmaceutical cocktails — hormones + SSRIs + instability = dangerous volatility.
- Victimhood ideology — tell people long enough they’re “under attack,” and eventually some decide to strike first.
The Real LGB Can’t Stay Silent
Here’s the bigger point: the real LGB community — gay conservatives, independents, moderates who still believe in Liberty, Guns & Borders — can no longer sit quietly while radical trans activism burns everything down.
For years, the letters “LGB” have been politically hijacked by an ideology that does not speak for us. The result? A movement that excuses violence, silences dissent, and demands blind allegiance while its most radical voices spiral into chaos.
It’s time for the real LGB to say:
- We will not defend violence because it’s wrapped in rainbow flags.
- We will not be guilt-tripped into silence while children die.
- We will not conflate gay identity with trans ideology that increasingly flirts with destruction.
Silence is complicity. The Minneapolis massacre proves the cost of complicity is measured in coffins.
THE BRASS TACKS: Don’t Smell Smoke, They Say
The Minnesota shooting is another tragic headline. But it’s also a wake-up call. When a movement is literally burning down its own credibility — and sometimes our communities — pretending not to see the flames isn’t compassion. It’s cowardice.
The real LGB still stands for Liberty, Guns, and Borders. We won’t apologize for saying reality matters, kids deserve protection, and movements that light matches should not be handed more gasoline.
