White Protestant Terrorism is rampant in the US. It takes various forms, from the KKK to its military supplied the NRA, from the GOP to MAGA, from the Proud Boys to Aryan Nations, from Atomwaffen Division and the American Nazi Party to Earth Liberation Front, from Kahane's Jewish Defense League to Oath Keepers....
All are right wind extremists who have committed countless acts of terror on US soil.
Robin Westman, US-born white American terrorist shooter in Wednesday's deadly attack at a Minnesota church appears to have been influenced by a broad spectrum of "white nationalists" ideas.
In his videos online, he displayed an arsenal of weapons including a rifle, a handgun, a shotgun and several magazines of ammunition, scrawled on with a mishmash of political messages and in-jokes. Westman is a former student at the Annunciation Church and Catholic School in Minneapolis where he killed and mained many children.
The fact is that ALL white anglo-saxon protestant terror organizations in the US include Catholics as one of their enemies, a hostility that goes back to the Reformation and the anti-papal movement in late Middle Ages Europe.
There are clues the shooter was active in hateful online communities. The word “Skibidi” was written on one magazine of ammunition found at the scene of the attack, a possible reference to a short-lived online extremist message board taken down a few weeks ago.
The writings also reference two other mass shooters. The name “Rupnow” is written on a rifle, a possible reference to Natalie Rupnow, who killed three students at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, last December and injured six others, and “Breivik,” an apparent reference to Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in an attack in Norway in 2011.
An analysis of Westman's writings reveal that he shared all of the White Christian Nationalist Terrorist organizations' ideology against Catholics, Jews, Black people, LGBTQ+ individuals, Muslims and Hispanics.
FBI Director Patel said the attack is being investigated as "an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics.''
