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.”

The danger is that it will expose the pervert trans pedophiles she was probably exposed to on various internet forums. These people are behind the trans insanity tsunami. They don’t want that to become general knowledge, those people are protected. And some are in power at high levels of government and academia.

And not just that; it shows just who was pulling her chain.

This atrocity did not occur in a vacuum; it was done at the behest of certain very evil elements within the democrat party to terrorize the rest of us into accepting perversions.

“When I’m told by an MNPD high-ranking official that it keeps him up at night...”

Our pastor spoke to one of the officers that had been in the school. The officer said it was not a scene of a shooting, but of pure Satanic evil.

I’ve wondered, with the gal’s body/gender dysmorphia, and the large quantity of ammunition that she used and perhaps her frustration of “only” six victims that she shot them up so badly and beyond recognition out of her anger with her own body.

The journals must be pretty bad and name actual names and their plans as to how to bring further destruction to conservatives and more chaos to our nation. Political representatives, government employees, and media personnel’s names may be listed. However, that would be a strong reason to release them to the public. Forewarned is forearmed.

However, the DOJ/FBI doesn’t want the evidence shown that it is the left that is agitating and planning on violence. The government’s narrative that violence springs from the “far-right” conservatives must be maintained at all costs.

Well, I’m mildly in support of their decision.

Bear in mind atheistic ideas, ideologies and fanaticism killed hundreds of millions last century. All had original authors. You don’t want to promote nihilism to emotionally susceptible people.

Just imagine if Marx’s manifesto was kept from the public.

Crazy, irreligious ideas lead to crazy, evil results.

“Just imagine if Marx’s manifesto was kept from the public.”

Those ideas were in circulation long before Marx wrote the Manifesto. They’re discussed in the Federalist Papers and the writings of John Thelwall, that I’m aware of.

How and why did FBI/DOJ gain possession of these documents in the first place?

Murder is a state crime. Prosecution of these offenses belongs to Tennessee.

Hegel writes of the Dialectic, which goes back to at least Confucius. It was Marx who took it out of philosophy and natural law and placed it in public policy - “it’s those people” which cause ‘the problems’. Then Lenin turned it into a political argument against ideological enemies. Then Stalin turned it against political opponents. Then Hitler proposed a ‘solution’. I’m sure fancypants does the same in her writings.

We didn’t have these problems before the printing press. Luddites unite! /s

The Athenian demagogues were attempting redistribution of wealth in a few half-a@@ed ways. Free access to the theater during festival, and stuff like that.

If it is released to my Congressional Representative it will be available to me. Guaranteed.

Both your points are valid, but I can’t see a path to overcome either problem. A redacted half-loaf would dissatisfy many/most, but it perhaps beats nothing, and might focus questions on specific points and exposes particular gaps, leading to round two.

An independent review makes sense; I’m stumped on who/what both LE and the dubious public would find credible.

The manifesto may link Hale’s murderous rage to her testosterone injections. This is probably quite similar to roid rage in women...feelings of invincibility and aggression combined with violent mood swings.

Yes, I think that is at the root of this.

Self hatred and hatred of women.

Why can't people see that the left, the "trans" and the homosexuals hate real, actual, XX, biological women with a passion?

They want to make them irrelevant and to disappear.
