Dana Mathewson

Is there a coverup on the Robert Westman shootings in Minneapolis?

There is a severe dearth of information here. Mendota Heights is many miles from Eagan and even farther from the church that Westman shot up. It is often identified as West St. Paul. Are we sure the incident described there is describing the same person? With all those redactions it could well be someone else entirely.

And shortly after the "incident," there was a Fox News article by a supposed Mental Health care professional who lived in the same residence unit that Westman lived in, and who knew Westman, and who states unequivocally that he never at any time saw any "red flag" behavior from Westman. And, being a Mental Health care professional, he says he would have spotted it immediately.

I'm not betting two cents on the idea that there's any kind of coverup! Nope, not at all!

Tim replies:

I don't know Dana; a casual neighbor is hardly a guy in a position to make a diagnosis from a lack of information. Certainly the shooter was cagey enough to not cut his hair before the deed to avoid tipping his hand by his own admission. Not every disturbed person tips their hand.

That said you are in a far better position to know what is happening than am I or most of our readers.

How much local reporting even mentions he's trans? We aren't getting that from the national news by and large (except Fox and a few others).

The very lack of information suggests a coverup, but does in no way PROVE a coverup, methinks.
