Two thirds of US voters say they want Nashville police to release the manifesto of transgender school shooter Audrey Hale — a sign of growing frustration with the investigation into the deadly attack two weeks ago.

Americans by wide margins want to see the screed, which many believe will reveal an agenda of violent trans extremism, and equal numbers are concerned that Hale's attack will inspire more copycat strikes on Christian schools, pollsters found.

The Rasmussen Reports survey heaps pressure on Nashville cops to release Hale's writings, even as officials backtrack on claims she left behind a manifesto, and say her texts are just 'journal-type rantings.'

Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state representative, became the latest Republican politician to seek the documents' release, saying they may explain Hale's killing spree at The Covenant School on the morning of March 27.

'We should absolutely know what motivated someone to shoot and kill six people, including three nine-year-old children,'

Sebastian Gorka, and other conservatives have urged the Metro Nashville Police Department and the FBI to release the writings.

'Why is the FBI keeping the transgender Nashville mass-murderer's manifesto hidden?'

In my church last weekend one of the ushers was carrying an unconcealed handgun. Never saw that before.

As Christian churches come increasingly under attack, we can expect to see more good guys carrying guns during worship services.

A pastor based in Knoxville TN I used to listen to on-line made it QUITE CLEAR he was packing (and urged his congregation to do so), and another pastor I currently listen to also has firearms at the ready in his pulpit. Both stated that they were ‘good shots’.

If I’m a bad guy hearing that, I’d probably select another church to attack.

So far, so good!

If she wrote in the manifesto that Trump caused her to do it,the New York Times would put it on the Front page for a month

Unbelievable, they won’t release it for one simple reason, politics. It will quell the enthusiasm for trans people being “normal” and it will paint the Dem party as this trans murderer’s ally.

All Sheriffs and red city Police Chiefs should take their own photos and log into evidence before EVER giving to any federal agency.

The incident commander (1st on scene) should take photos on personal phones, the initial crime scene should take and log photos, and the assigned investigator should take pics and log. There should be multiple copies before EVER giving anything to the feds.

You just cant trust ANY 3 letter .gov anymore.

Unfortunately we are still UMC. They hate guns.

Being in the south we have LOTS of parishioners carrying guns concealed with enhanced CCW licenses. Trouble is that the ARMED cops that are there don't know who is carrying and if an incident happened, could shoot an innocent.

Even the cops told the church...we need armed congregants in the church while we man the perimeter. We want the armed church members to sit in seats next to doors and establish room dominance positions...that way we can know where they are.

“So have the feds taken over the Nashville PD?”

They’ve taken over nearly everything.

The Pentagon gets hacked but the Nashville police Dept. doesn’t guess who has better security.
