Robin Westman posted a manifesto on YouTube prior to Annunciation Church shooting
kstp.com
The disturbing videos showed Westman's arsenal of guns, ammunition, and what appears to be a handwritten manifesto addressed to Westman's family and friends.

I mean fuck this person for killing kids, but you couldn’t cook up a better target for the right, trans, hates trump, hates israel (for the wrong reasons), and targeted kids at a church.

Expect some deranged genocidal reactions from the general public.

    That person was unwell and for whatever reasons didn’t receive the psychological help or social support that could have prevented this.

    I’ll parallel this to fedia and piefed thinking they’re superior for their latest tricks. Just because we’re on top of the wheel today doesn’t mean it won’t turn and run us over. Best bet is get off the wheel, or at least into the hub, because sitting on the axle won’t save us.

      In the first lines of ‘First They Came,’ the speaker begins by using the phrase that later came to be used as the title. He addresses the fact that the Nazis first came for the Communists. He knew this well, and despite the fact that men and women were being taken from their homes, forced into slavery, worked to their deaths, and murdered, he did not speak out. He was not a Communist and, therefore, could ignore what was happening. This is a pattern that repeats throughout the poem. He says the same statements about both “Socialists” and “trade unionists.” These are groups of people that he saw himself as separate from. They didn’t have anything to do with him, so he felt that he didn’t have anything to fear. He did not stand up for or do anything to try to protect these groups.
