Did ERLC’s Brent Leatherwood Cover Cost For Nashville Shooter Audrey Hale’s Funeral, but Not For The Victims?
Protestia ^ | July 13, 2023 | staff

A chilling wave of grief swept through Nashville when Audrey Hale, a deranged transgender school shooter, infiltrated The Covenant School three months ago and opened fire. This heinous act led to the tragic loss of six lives, including three nine-year-olds, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, and adults Cynthia Peak, Katherine Koonce, and Mike Hill, all above 60. Swift intervention by the police brought the horrific incident to a halt, with Hale meeting her end at their hands.

Brent Leatherwood, President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), was personally embroiled in this tragedy as his children attended Covenant. He swiftly rallied the support of the SBC behind proposed red flag gun control laws, something they did not agree to do.

Leatherwood has likewise been instrumental in managing the legal, PR, and financial aspects at The Covenant School. He’s been vigorously appealing to the Tennessee Court to prevent the release of Hale’s manifesto, stating, “You should know, the parents and the families have asked our attorneys to leave no stone unturned as we pursue our objective to keep all of these writings out of the public domain.”

He aims to keep the manifesto private and transfer it into a newly established Covenant Children’s Trust, which he serve as trustee over.

By all accounts the Trust funded shooter Audrey Hale’s funeral but did not appear to cover the victims’ expenses, with famillies of Mike Hill and Will Kinney relegated to holding gofundme’s to cover burial costs. Ana Caudill, a close friend of Katherine Koonce, explains: “One of the things that stunned me to learn was that the Covenant families had pulled together and paid for the funeral of Audrey Hale, the shooter.”

That freak Audrey doesn’t even deserve a funeral! They should have just thrown her body in a dumpster like the garbage she is!

The funeral is for the shooters family.

I presume they were decent people. It’s not their fault.

That said it is deeply curious why they are seeking to keep the manifesto private. The cynic in me suspects it alleges sexual abuse or the like. Or slanders good people with claims of sexual abuse as revenge from the grave.

The pathology of the woke mind is why this nation is divided. When a decent, rational person spends any time with a woke, leftist, an overwhelming feeling of “ get me out of here” soon arises within.

If the average SBC member knew half the things the ERLC is up to, they’d vote to withdraw from the SBC.

Because committing a crime means you are a victim.

“They should have just thrown her body in a dumpster like the garbage she is!”

Using the pronouns “her” and “she” is buying in to their delusions — exactly what they want.

It was a “she.” She was trying to turn into a boy. I’ve forgotten what her male name was, but she had one.
