A disturbing manifesto was also recovered in the aftermath. What raised immediate questions was the fact that much of it was written in Russian, though Westman was born and raised in the United States. The document revealed not only his hatred for Donald Trump but also deep animosity toward Christians.
The New York Post has since obtained even more unsettling passages. In one section, Westman — who was previously known as Robert Westman — expressed bitter regret about his transition. “I only keep it [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans,” he confessed. “I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself.”
He went on to explain why he hadn’t cut his hair before the shooting. “I can’t cut my hair now as it would be embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack,” Westman admitted.
The manifesto also revealed a sick obsession with mass shootings. He praised the Sandy Hook massacre and admitted fantasies of butchering children. “I want to be a ‘scary, horrible monster standing over those powerless kids,’” he wrote.
Even more disturbing, Westman glorified serial killers, including Luigi Mangione, the leftist gunman who became infamous after assassinating United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. In his writings, Westman linked Mangione to cartoon imagery, decorating his manifesto with stickers of Luigi from Nintendo’s Mario series while praising the killer in Russian.

The bizarre mix of transgender regret, hatred for conservatives, admiration for murderers, and even Russian language throughout the writings has left many observers stunned. It paints a picture of a profoundly disturbed individual spiraling into darkness.
This is not only the portrait of someone consumed with violence, but also a man at war with himself. The chilling regrets he admitted about his own transition, mixed with his dehumanizing fantasies, make it clear that this tragedy was years in the making.
As more information emerges, one thing is clear: Robin Westman was not just another criminal. He was a deeply broken person, consumed by rage, self-hatred, and twisted delusions — and the cost of that evil has now been paid by innocent children and families in Minneapolis.
