NORM MACDONALD COULD NOT BE REACHED FOR COMMENT: Stop villainizing trans people, Democrat mayor says after school shooting.

The Mayor of Minneapolis told people to stop “villainising our trans community” after gunman Robin Westman sprayed bullets at primary school children.

Two children, aged eight and 10, were killed after the gunman, who is trans, stormed Annunciation Catholic School in Minnesota on Wednesday.

Armed with a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, Westman “sprayed” dozens of rounds of bullets through the stained glass windows of the school’s adjacent church.

The 23-year-old changed his name by deed poll in 2019 from Robert to Robin in documents seen by The Telegraph.

Speaking at a press conference following the attack, Jacob Frey, the Minneapolis mayor, said those attacking transgender people had “lost their sense of common humanity”.

“I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community,” Mr Frey told reporters.

“Anybody who is using this … as an opportunity to villainise our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity.”

Classical allusion in headline:

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): A friend texts: “Weird how they flip from one incident to another from blaming the gun, to blaming Trump, to concern for trans. The only consistency or logic in the narrative is, it has to serve the narrative.”

The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.
