DOJ: Only group shooter Robin Westman didn't hate included school shooters and mass murderers
Driver's license information describes Westman as a female, born on June 17, 2002.
A name change application (Robert Westman to Robin Westman) for a minor born on the same date was approved by a district court in Minnesota in 2020.
"The shooter expressed hate towards almost every group. The shooter expressed hate towards Black people, the shooter expressed hate towards Mexican people, the shooter expressed hate towards Christian people, the shooter expressed hate towards Jewish people. In short, the shooter appeared to hate all of us.
There appears to be only one group that the shooter didn't hate, one group of people who the shooter admired -- the group were the school shooters and mass murderers that are notorious in this country."
-- Joe Thompson, acting U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota
Two videos, posted Wednesday morning on YouTube and since removed by YouTube, displayed an individual casually and sarcastically flipping through dozens of pages of notes dated over the course of several months, including white painted doodles of weapons, emojis, middle fingers, and expletives with references to murder.
Notebook included a sticker that displayed "defend equality" with an LGBTQIA flag, overlaid with a gun, and anti-Israel sentiments.
Westman worked at a cannabis dispensary, but was not currently employed at the dispensary at the time of the mass shooting.
