The transgender killer who shot up a Catholic Church, killing two children, was inspired by a dark extremist network of nihilistic terror groups that prey on and exploit young people, experts believe.
Groups with names like 764, COM, No Lives Matter and the Order of the Nine Angles have been spawning school shooters and other violent actors for years, but are mostly unknown to the general public – especially to the parents of kids drawn into their sinister web.
All the groups are sometimes called part of the '764 network,' an umbrella term covering a dark mishmash of fringe communities – some satanic, some accelerationist and many obsessed with Nazis and mass shooters.
Robin Westman, 23, who came from what has been described as a nice family, displayed the same traits, symbolism and beliefs espoused by the groups.
These groups often target very young kids, transgender people and other marginalized people by encouraging them to self-harm on camera, abuse animals and even kill themselves while live-streaming.
