Newspaper Releases Full Copy of Nashville Trans Shooter’s ‘Manifesto’
Headline USA ^ | September 3, 2024 | Ken Silva

Posted on 09/03/2024 10:25:13 AM PDT by george76

We have had a First Amendment right to publish these unredacted documents from the moment we legally obtained them...'

The Tennessee Star released on Tuesday the purported manifesto of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale, who killed three 9-year-old children and three adult staff members at the Covenant School on March 27, 2023.

Much of the material in Hale’s 90 pages of writings has already been reported, including her rantings about her gender.

“So now in America, it makes one a criminal to have a gun or, be transgender, or non-binary,” Hale wrote in one journal entry. “God I hate those s***head politicians.”

Michael Patrick Leahy, editor-in-chief of The Star, said on Tuesday that he’s releasing the entire document for the public to see.

“We legally obtained this handwritten journal – which we refer to as The Covenant Killer’s 2023 Journal to distinguish it from the many journals written by Hale prior to 2023 – in early June of 2024 from a source familiar with the MNPD investigation,” Leahy said.

“We have had a First Amendment right to publish these unredacted documents from the moment we legally obtained them.”

Leahy did say that he hesitated to publish the documents after he was threatened with contempt proceedings by NashvilleJudge I’Ashea Myles, who has ruled that the materials should be kept secret.

“This ‘Sword of Damocles’ has been held over my head by Judge Myles since June 17, 2024, and we have held off on publishing The Covenant Killer’s 2023 Journal, in part, until our legal defense financial resources have reached a sufficient level such that I can hire counsel to represent me in the event Judge Myles seeks to resurrect this false claim against me,” he said.

The Star has an appeal pending against Myles’ ruling.

According to Myles’s July ruling, the evidence held by law enforcement includes more than 100 gigabytes of data—far more evidence than her 90-page manifesto.

The news is well past it’s sell date. For the most part, the censorship regime has succeeded in its goals. It will occupy a little tiny bit of one news cycle and then die.

But...but...we were warned that if her manifesto was released it would mean the end of the world, or even the universe! Now I’m almost afraid to read it!

Delusions of being a friggin 'victim'? How stupid do these drama queens have to get before they become punch lines for jokes?

The killer and other sexual weirdos need to understand no one gives a flip about them as long as they leave us and our kids alone.

If they want their kids to read porn - fine - that's between them and social workers upholding the laws. We're keeping porn out of public schools - it's not 'book banning' it's pornography banning. Which has been done in every culture since the dawn of time. No civilized country has ever put porn into children's education. Ever. It's not just us - it's the history of our species.

“”””The news is well past it’s sell date. For the most part, the censorship regime has succeeded in its goals. It will occupy a little tiny bit of one news cycle and then die.””””

They do that a lot, delaying until the moment has passed, like debunking something against a conservative after years of it being milked for maximum effect until it eventually is faded enough in effect to let it be known that it never happened, or was never said.

She was diagnosed to be on the Autism spectrum. As are something like 65% of the girls wanting to be boys.

I do not believe this is true. The ancient Romans didn't have public schools the way we do, but their household decorations were routinely quite pornographic.

Never forget their culture lasted many times longer than American culture...

It should be noted that requesting this document is considered a subscription to their content.

I used an incomplete name and a little-used email address.

I doubt those depictions were found in working and middle class homes. And I seriously doubt they were in any school curriculum.

Please share the direct download link if it is ever sent to you.

Usually, these documents are reshared fairly quickly, but maybe google is suppressing results.
