Nashville Official Says School Shooter’s Manifesto Is ‘Astronomically Dangerous’
Epoch Times ^ | April 21, 2023 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 04/23/2023 5:17:28 PM PDT by george76

Federal officials are delaying the release of a manifesto written by Audrey Hale, who killed six people in a Nashville Christian school, according to local officials, with one calling it “astronomically dangerous.”

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) told the New York Post this week that the FBI is currently behind the delay. He said that the documents should be made public for grieving family members and for members of Congress.

Hale, who was born female, used “he/him” pronouns, and police officials previously told a news conference she identified as transgender. Later, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Hale suffered from mental health issues and was under the care of a doctor, while her parents did not know she had procured several firearms.

The shooter’s notes “could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head,” Burchett told the newspaper. “I think that would answer a lot of questions.”

About 20 journals, five laptops, a suicide note, and other materials written by Hale were taken from the house where she lived with her parents, according to a search warrant in the case.

“What I was told is, her manifesto was a blueprint on total destruction, and it was so, so detailed at the level of what she had planned,” Metro Nashville Council Member Courtney Johnston told the NY Post, without elaborating. “That document in the wrong person’s hands would be astronomically dangerous,” she added.

Johnson claimed that the “the vast, overwhelming majority of it” would be too dangerous for the public to see. “I personally don’t want to know the depths to which her psychosis reached … When I’m told by an MNPD high-ranking official that it keeps him up at night, I’m going to defer to that person in that agency that I don’t need to read that,” she added.

The official did not elaborate on why the documents would be a danger to the public. Based on the interview, it’s not clear if Johnson was worried about detailed plans to attack other sites or was worried about Hale’s mental health issues.

...

Hale, 28, was a former student at The Covenant School when she shot and killed three children and three adults at a private school last month. The victims who were murdered include Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9, Hallie Scruggs, 9, William Kinney, 9, Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and Mike Hill, 61.

Since the shooting, a range of conservative commentators have publicly called for Hale’s manifesto to be made public, saying that the FBI’s delay is part of a cover-up to keep the public from knowing about the dangers of transgenderism. About a week after the Nashville mass shooting, a 19-year-old male who reportedly identified as female was arrested in Colorado with detailed plans for several school shootings.

Rep. Walter Hudson (R-Minn.) told the NY Post this week that the documents should be released and said that by doing so, the FBI and other agencies could gain more Americans’ trust. He cited conversations with his constituents who have exhibited an “increasing distrust with the FBI and with government agencies generally.”

“One of the greatest threats to democracy or, as I would say, threats to the Constitutional Republic, is the erosion of trust in institutions. The FBI is one of those institutions,” he told NY Post. “If you’re going to wield power in a free country, then you have a responsibility to maintain the public’s trust in that power—and the FBI needs to figure out how to do that,” the lawmaker said.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) told the paper that if the documents are not ultimately released, “then we need to investigate why.”

I suspect it could have something to do with the woke and trans community oddly hating Christians and children, and that the Dems, FBI etc do not want out in the open. They prefer a false meme that only white males hate. We need to demand it be released in the interest of truth and transparency and need for self defense and protection for all.

The premise is absurd. What can it cause? Are people going to start shooting each other indiscriminately by the hundreds? Will exposing this manifesto cause a poplar uprising to overthrow the government? Or does it state some true thing that is inconvenient to the PTB?

NO....the most obvious reason not to release it is because she HATED TRUMP and CHRISTIANS and LOVED BIDEN!

Most obvious reason to this commenter is that release runs counter to a powerful entity’s political/policy priorities.

The Dung Beetles said we had the right to see all of President Trump’s tax returns. Well, I’m pretty sure we have the right to see this trannie’s liberal psychobabble.

After all of the stalling, does anyone believe that what they publish will be authentic? Not me.

Weeks ago a tranny shot up a school! Now, when a tranny with the means to do so threatens to shoot students, the FBI is investigating Latin Catholic services.

It use to be suicidal people would just off themselves and leave this world quietly. “Nowadays many of them seek to get as much attention as possible by taking as many people as possible with them. Our whole society has become sick.”

The democrats just keep stirring the pot with their “woke” rhetoric. Kamala Harris should be impeached for her seditious “call to action” Nashville speech. They are hoping to entitle mentally unstable suicidal Trans misfit killers to murder as many as possible, then blame the guns.

I imagine the manifesto is politically in alignment with the policies of the current regime.

And they can’t have those policies illuminated by such a light.

Someone, please explain. Why would we want this disturbed killer’s manifesto released?

It could encourage other disturbed people to commit mass murder, too.

Here is a Manifesto that is astronomically dangerous:

So much so that over a hundred million people have died because of it. But it is still used as a basis of many teachers lesson plans in the US.

Probably the most dangerous thing about the shooter's manifesto is that we will be able to see how many other people have the same symptoms, and the government doesn't want anyone looking too closely.

Bingo.

Most people don't understand the extent to which the leftist gay community, the leftist socialist community and many leftists in general viciously hate Christianity in all aspects. They sit around and talk about it like it is some invading force from Trans-Siberia. With them it is not "oddly" it is pervasive.

Here’s an exercise for the reader: you’ve read the news, now write in your own words what you think the perp’s manifesto says.

My guess is it is a danger to the gun grabbers as it plans hitting “gun free” soft targets and explains how to avoid armed civilians. That would damage any potential gun bans.

What is the only reason they would cover it up? Is it to protect the woke agenda? Conservative Americans and others too need to get on the streets in mass and demonstrate about this BS and also the open borders and perpetual false wars that are ruining us. We’ve kind of become become gutless sheep. The Israelis and the French and others understand that just accepting things like this from those who should serve and work for the citizens doesn’t work. We need to throw some tea in the harbor.
