Thoughts on the Nashville Massacre at Covenant School
Various sources ^ | 3/29/2023 | Self

Posted on 03/29/2023 6:07:52 AM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

Okay, follow my logic here. So far the Nashville police have refused to release the shooter's manifesto. We can all jump to the easy conclusion that they are being woke about the event and want to cushion the blow.

But in another article the police chief also said that he believed the shooter had received training to shoot down at police from a second story window.

That would seem to indicate to me that police chief had evidence that the shooter had attended some other event to receive tactical training.

So is it a great stretch to assume that the shooter had been a regular participant at a local trans/gay shooter training class?

So jumping on down the line, the FBI have been called in to investigate in what is clearly local jurisdiction, UNLESS the manifesto implicates a larger circle of suspects. The FBI may have been studiously ignoring the trans/gay militants because they had been "mostly peaceful" protests but now that six innocent people are dead, they can on longer pretend that they aren't a threat.

Starting,IIRC,in the 70's leftists began demanding that people shouldn't be confined to mental hospitals against their will

The Kennedy clan was (still is?) behind a lot of that.
This family never got through their guilt over the treatment of Rosemary (Nee Rose Marie) by the patriarch, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.

I commented in one of the other threads that it looked like she had some training.

And was pretty much blown off by people saying "she learned how to do things from watching video games"

Well, you might be able to learn things from watching video games, but the motions she was doing with the rifle indicated familiarity with it, so she didn't have to fumble with it.

And there are other things that aren't obvious, unless you had training...

She doesn't chicken wing. Many people stick the arm that is on the trigger straight out, instead of keeping it tuck in to the side.

She comes out of the office, and immediately brings the rifle back up and scans to see if anybody is around.

While she doesn't use cover, she walks with the rifle at a ready position.

She pies the opening of the door at the end of the hallway, and checks if there is anyone nearby before going through the door.

Yes, some of the actions aren't perfect, or proper, but it looks like the motions had been done often enough she was familiar with doing them without having to stop and think about it.

So a school shooting happens in Tennessee and a Democrat anti-gun lobbyist WHO LIVES IN ILLINOIS just happens to be in Nashville at the time “on vacation” which she interrupts in order to drive over to the press conference?

And then grab the microphone for herself? The official story of anti-gun lobbyist Ashbey Beasley is that she happened to be in Nashville “on vacation” with her son.

Would you stop a family trip to rush over to a school shooting press event? And then grab the microphone?

Sounds like a work trip to me.

A legitimate FBI would be embedding agents in THIS organization.

“You don’t need special training to see the advantage of shooting from an elevated position.”

Absolutely. I’d guess that the killer had a certain concept of tactics by being an obsessive video gamer (reportedly). Shooter games can provide a theatrical sense of what combat, etc. “look like” and what snipers do. (And she had firearms; presumably she had used them). The surveillance video shows her dressed for her role, stalking around in a certain stance, and opening doors as if she is “clearing a room” etc. Many of the young mass killers seem to be playing out a video game script in their heads, all the way to “game over”.

In fairness, they probably also don't want to inspire copycats, and the manifesto may contain security-related information that would be use to potential copycats.

Mass shooters like this creep do their deed because they want publicity. There's a lot to be said for denying them publicity, even if it's after their death.

Looking at the room she chose for her sniper nest, she evidently didn't get very good training.

I mean, embedded to gather terrorist intel from the organizers.

“Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment beyond sending a poop emoji — an automatic response to inquiries sent to its press email address that its new owner, Elon Musk, recently announced earlier this month.”

“No comment” has been replaced with a “poop emoji”? LOL

Yes, I know, but I don’t trust the FBI any more. They used to be the epitome of all that was good and always had their countrymen’s safety at their core.

Now they are just a bunch of pension chasing bureaucrats...............

Yup,I recall having read about that. I worked at a large hospital for decades and one of our regular patients was an older woman who had had a lobotomy. It was really sad...she was absolutely clueless,like a walking zombie.

The Kennedy and Shriver names are all over the initiation of mainstreaming the mentally ill into society. Because the Clan acted so horribly, the rest of the population is forced to bear the penance.

It is often said, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” What we face today is proof of that.

That’s why I emphasized a LEGITIMATE (SANE) FBI. Probably a pipe dream at this point, but I was speaking theoretically.

As with most of these kinds of shootings, I'm less inclined to think that there were political or social cause motives at the heart of the attack. Usually, it is a mental illness that is dominate, and the peripheral elements are emphasized because it's the closest thing we have to trying to make any sort of sense of it.

I'm pretty sure that Hale had plenty of rage at Christianity, but so do millions of other people. Her rage was primarily because of mental illness, and her target was from a secondary anger.
