There is an age-old idiom that says "discipline begins at home," which emphasizes that parents are primarily responsible for teaching children fundamental values, respect, and self-control through their modeling, consistent guidance, and setting of clear boundaries.
Structure at home provides foundational lessons for a child's character, influencing their behavior in all other environments, such as school, the workplace, and broader society.
Unfortunately, leniency does the opposite, especially when parents accept and condone the myth of transgenderism. As soon as any child begins to demonstrate “gender dysphoria,” a form of mental illness, the parents have a responsibility to seek help for the child.
In the case of Robert Westman, the shooter who opened fire at the Annunciation Catholic Church in Minnesota, we know that his mother signed off on his name change to Robin and was aware of his gender issues. We also know that after the shooting, she refused to cooperate with the police until she had secured a lawyer. Both of those things indicate she supported the mental illness the left has tried to normalize.
One day later, there was another senseless murder involving a transgender, and in my opinion, this one occurred because of prosecutorial leniency.
In Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, a father was walking home after taking his six-year-old child to school when he noticed someone spraying graffiti on a bridge. At that point, he either said something to the person, took a picture of him, or both, which resulted in a confrontation.
According to Worcester County District Attorney Joe Early Jr.,
According to Shrewsbury Police Chief Kevin Anderson, the victim called 911, and the dispatch office heard the shooting as it took place.
That afternoon, the police arrested the suspect at his home, which was painted with leftist slogans such as “Free Palestine,” “BLM,” “Defund the Police,” and “Stop Cop City.”
The suspect has been identified by investigative journalist Andy Ngo as Snehal Ansh Srivastava, a male Indian national who claims to be a woman named Sasha Shakur.
Although Srivastava is mentally ill enough to pretend to be a woman, he makes no attempt to hide that he is a man.
With the video, there was a text written by Srivastava complaining:
This moron also posted on a site called “Nation of Ayodhya.” His writings were racist as well as antisemitic.
This racist bigot is nothing more than a black hole of hatred with a criminal history that reeks of leftist favoritism.
According to TheBlaze, he was arrested in 2021:
With those charges, this monster should have been incarcerated for years. Yet, just a year later, he was arrested for trying to run someone down with his car.
At the time, the Westborough Police Department stated the following in a press release:
Ask yourself this: he was arrested in 2021 but was free a year later to try and run someone down and to attack and cut them with a machete. That’s bad enough, but after that attack, how was he free again to murder an innocent father?
Also, with this latest crime, he has only been charged with “armed assault with intent to murder and carrying a gun without a license.”
This wasn’t an assault; this was murder, so where is the second-degree murder charge?
This is a dangerous psycho who should never be released again. That said, how was he released after his arrest in 2021? It’s time to take off the kid gloves when sentencing the mentally ill, claiming to be transgender.
After incidents like this one and the horrible shooting in Minnesota, people often say, "If only we could have seen it coming." Well, those claiming to be transgender are telling you openly that they are mentally ill.
It’s time to shut down the left’s rhetoric that this sickness should be accepted. When someone tells you they are mentally unstable, believe them or suffer the consequences later.
