Neither manifesto has been released.Some conservatives are using a mass shooting this weekend in Florida to renew their calls for the release of the manifesto written by the transgender shooter who killed three children and three adults at a private Christian school in Nashville in March, despite opposition from families at the school. The calls on social media come in the wake of the Jacksonville Dollar General shooting, in which three Black people were killed. The shooter used a swastika-emblazoned assault rifle and left behind racist writings. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters described the white supremacist writings as “the diary of...

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the (sometimes ironic) slogan of The Washington Post. But it’s also a fair description of what’s happening in Tennessee, as the state Legislature is being called to a special session even as local and federal officials withhold information that might be critical to its decision-making. *** The Nashville Tennessean article refers only to “a shooter.” The shooter was a female-to-male transgender shooter named Audrey Hale, aged 28, who left a manifesto before being killed by police. Hale had chosen to identify as a man, using the pronouns he/him. Local and federal authorities with access to...

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” is the (sometimes ironic) slogan of The Washington Post. But it’s also a fair description of what’s happening in Tennessee, as the state Legislature is being called to a special session even as local and federal officials withhold information that might be critical to its decision-making. Gov. Bill Lee ordered the special session to begin Aug. 21 in response to a March 27 mass shooting in which three adults and three children at the Covenant School, a Christian school in Nashville’s Green Hills neighborhood, were killed. The Nashville Tennessean article refers only to “a shooter.” The...

. Where’s the Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto? The one the FBi didn’t want to be released?

The parents of transgender Nashville shooter Audrey Hale have informed a court that they wish to release the contents of Hale's manifesto to the children who attend the school that was the site of the incident. Ronald and Norma Hale claim intestate possession of their daughter's documents, according to the Tennessee Star, and have argued that they have the right to provide any party they see fit ownership of the materials. They have further indicated that they would give those materials to the children who attended the school. Intestacy laws establish an order of priority for the inheritance of a...

NASHVILLE – A court filing made by The Covenant School’s legal team on Monday seeks to intervene in ongoing lawsuits that demand the public release of shooter Audrey Hale‘s writings. The National Police Association (NPA) and Tennessee Firearms Association (TFA) have separately filed suits against the city with the same objective. These lawsuits emerged as the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) was in the process of reviewing the writings, referred to as a manifesto, to determine their potential for public disclosure. The school argues that the release of the information “could pose security and safety risks for the school, its...

When Audrey Hale shot her way into Nashville’s Covenant School on March 27 and murdered three adults and three nine-year-old children, attention immediately focused on her “manifesto” as possibly having the answer to the anguished “why?” question. Hale was clearly a seriously troubled young woman who had previously attended the school. She was also undergoing gender transition drug treatments, a fact that made the contents of her manifesto even more intensely of public interest. Such treatments are typically associated with a psychological condition known as “gender dysphoria.” Local authorities initially said the manifesto would be made public in due time,...

Hale took the lives of three 9-year-old children and three adult staff members on March 27 of this year. The TFA, alongside former Hamilton County Sheriff James Hammond, filed a lawsuit against the government with the hopes of a court order to disclose the manifesto .

The National Police Association has filed a lawsuit in a bid to make trans Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto public. Hale's manifesto has remained shrouded in secrecy since the March 27 massacre at Covenant Christian Academy that killed three children and three school workers, with the gunwoman also shot dead by cops. But on April 28, NPA Head Ed Hutchinson and Tennessee investigator Clata Renee Brewer filed the suit with Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. They subsequently issued an amended complaint on Friday blasting the 'absurd' decision to withhold the manifesto once more because of pending litigation....

In March, Audrey Hale shocked the nation by opening fire at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. The police soon acknowledged that they had a manifesto from Hale on why she took this inexplicable and horrific action. We all then waited for the release of the manifesto. We are still waiting. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay in the release of information in a major crime pending investigation. What was weird is that the police quickly confirmed that Hale acted alone and Hale was dead. There is no prosecution that will occur in the case. Yet,...

The writings were obtained by the Metro Nashville Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of the investigation into the murders of three children and three staff members at the Covenant School on March 27.

President of the National Assocation of Police Officers and Boston Police Officer Thomas Nee is a member of Vice President Joe Biden's gun control task force, which was created by President Obama in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Nee's son, Joseph Nee, was convicted in 2008 for planning to commit mass murder of students and teachers at Marshfield High School in Massachusetts, similar to that of Columbine in 1999. After spending nine months in prison, Nee's conviction was upheld by the Supreme Judicial Court. Nee told police the plan involved taking ammunition and explosive devices into...

According to The Daily Mail, the mass shooter who killed 5 people and injured 9 others at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky left a lengthy manifesto explaining his reasons for perpetrating the shooting. While the manifesto has not been officially released, it seems the perp murdered these people in a bizarre anti-gun protest, killing them because he was opposed to mass shootings. The 13-page missive describes his goals before the horror at the downtown Old National Bank, where the 25-year-old livestreamed the massacre on Instagram as he gunned down co-workers at their morning conference. Sturgeon made three key points in...

The manifesto "could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head," he told the newspaper. "I think that would answer a lot of questions."
