Daily Broadside | Someone Just Leaked the Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto

Or at least part of it.

Back in March of this year a troubled young woman who pretended she was a man walked into a Christian school in Nashville and gunned down six people, including three kids, before being taken out by a responding officer. The killer was identified as Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old former student of the school.

After the massacre, rumors of a “manifesto” that detailed why she had done what she had began circulating. Demands to publish the manifesto were put off with “active investigation” excuses and it eventually became clear that the authorities had no intention of releasing whatever writings they had from Audrey.

Nashville Council member Courtney Johnston told The Post the FBI has already ruled the manifesto would not be released in its entirety. 

“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,” she said, when reached by phone.

“That document in the wrong person’s hands would be astronomically dangerous,” she added.

She said she believed part of Hale’s writings would come out but that “the vast, overwhelming majority of it,” presented too much of a danger to the public.

Indeed they have “come out.” Apparently someone has had enough of the regime’s suppression of this document.

Louder with Crowder is publishing three pages of the long-awaited Nashville transgender mass shooter’s manifesto. These pages of the manifesto were exclusively obtained by MugClub Undercover.

The never-before-seen manifesto details how Audrey Hale planned to carry out the targeted massacre.

In the pages reviewed and corroborated by MugClub Undercover, Hale said she hoped to have a “high death count” and wanted to “kill” kids with “white privileges.”

A mentally unbalanced white woman who believes in the woke slur of “white privilege.” A detailed list was offered earlier on in the article:

  • The manifesto detailed thoughts Hale had leading up to what was referred to as “DEATH DAY”, as well as a timeline in which the shooting would take place.
  • Audrey Hale: “Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready…I hope my victims aren’t.”
  • Hale: “I hope I have a high death count.”
  • Hale: “Kill those kids!!!”
  • Hale: “going to fancy private schools with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks w/ their daddies mustangs + convertibles.”
  • Hale: “Wanna kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little faggots w/ your white privileges”• Hale: There were several times I could have been caught especially b—ack in the summer of 2021.
  • Hale: “It might be 10 minutes tops. It might be 3-7. Its gunna go quick.”

Taking this alleged manifesto at face value, I’m struck by the depth of hatred over superficial qualities that indicate “white privilege.” She writes about “going to fancy private schools with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks w/ their daddies mustangs + convertibles.”

Fancy khakis? Sports backpacks? Sports cars?

That sounds a lot like self-pity and envy. It’s the kind of thing a high-schooler would say when trying to insult someone who is elevated on the social ladder. By “fancy” she probably means “expensive” or “name brand” since khakis aren’t particularly “fancy.”

The Covenant School, where she was a student, is a private Christian school, serving Pre-K through 6th Grade students. Tuition ranges from $7,250 to $16,500 per student per school year. Not inexpensive, but scholarships and other financial aid is available.

Audrey was able to enroll back when she was a little kid. Was she, too, “privileged”?

We still don’t know why she chose her former school as her target. If she attended there through sixth grade, she would’ve been 11 or 12 years old. At the time of the shooting, she was 28. That’s a 16-year differential.

Was she holding onto some slight or victimization from her time there? Was she blaming the school’s overt affirmation of faith in Jesus Christ for her sexual confusion?

Her woke demonization of “white privilege” hardly applies to 6th graders or younger students. How many of them are driving daddy’s car to school?

Whatever her motivation, it’s clear she wanted to kill children, white people, and the Christians at The Covenant School.

So why suppress the manifesto? Because you’re supposed to see the protected classes as victims. It won’t do for you to have evidence that there are, in fact, hateful spiteful woke people who harbor murderous intentions before they carry them out. That would leave the regime looking like it’s hiding something—like their implicit support for hateful, spiteful killers.

WSMV has confirmed that the images are from the killer’s notebooks.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The images leaked on social media Monday morning are confirmed to belong to The Covenant School Shooter, a source told WSMV4 Chief Investigator Jeremy Finley.

On Monday morning, a political commentator released documents he said were related to The Covenant School shooting in Nashville.

Steven Crowder, host of “Louder with Crowder,” released three photos of writings in notebooks. Crowder claims they are images of the shooter’s writings. Now, a source has confirmed to WSMV4 that those images are indeed from the shooter.

Daily Broadside | My New Badge of Honor

When I clicked over to Twitter yesterday, I was greeted by a message that told me my account had been locked for “violating a Twitter Rule” or something to that effect. I don’t have the exact wording, but it was clear I couldn’t access my account. At first I thought I was looking at some kind of meme — I totally did not expect to be locked out of my account.

When I clicked past that grim notification, here’s what I saw:

It’s my post from this past Tuesday. When I post a Daily Broadside at daveolsson.com, my account automatically posts a notice on Facebook and on Twitter. For the last three years I’ve been posting almost five days a week and have never run afoul of the twitterati censors.

But now I have.

If you look at the post, which consists of a title, a normal person would ask themselves what the problem is. But we don’t live in normal times, so we have to guess what the problem is, because the morally superior twits at the Twitter Censorship Bureau don’t tell you exactly what “rule” you violated.

Having been notified that I violated the “Twitter Rules,” with nothing more to go on, it seemed like a good time to get acquainted with them.

If you want to see “the rules,” you can do so here. There are four sections: Safety, Privacy, Authenticity, and “Third-party advertising in video content.” While looking through them, I came across this gem under “Authenticity”:

When they say that you can’t share anything that might “manipulate or interfere in elections” or “suppress participation” what they really mean is anything that might harm getting Democrats elected, like a true story about Hunter Biden’s laptop. But stories like Trump being a RUSSIAN AGENT are perfectly fine.

How authentically hypocritical.

Back to my experience. From what I can tell I’m not violating any of the Privacy, Authenticity or Third-party advertising “rules,” which means I must have violated a “Safety” rule. Here they are:

If I eliminate the ones I obviously didn’t transgress, it must be I violated the rules concerning “Violent Speech,” “Abuse/Harassment” or “Hateful conduct.” I mean, I guess I could’ve violated the “Violent and Hateful Entities” rules since, perhaps, it could be construed that I “promoted” the activities of a violent and hateful woman. But I’m guessing that’s not what my ban is about.

No, I’m guessing that it has to do with “Hateful conduct” described as: “You may not attack other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. Learn more.”

My post is about a self-identified transgender, so that fits, but is my title an “attack”? I suspect that that is how the Twittites see it. If I had to guess, the words “woman” and “gender confusion” are the triggers. The killer was a biological female and went by the name Audrey Hale and Aiden. So, I am guilty of calling her a woman and suggesting that it might be linked to gender confusion.

That, my friends, is considered “Hateful conduct.”

Of course, I’m appealing the ruling.

I don’t expect to be exonerated. It’s not a court of law where you can plead your case. If they refuse to reconsider, then I have a choice: stay locked out of my account, or bend the knee to the “safety” standards set at Elon Musk’s Twitter. (Apparently he still hasn’t gotten rid of the Leftist snowflakes who monitor content.) That would mean surrendering to the woke definitions of “violence” and essentially giving in to their view of the world.

On Monday I shared some of what Jeff Goldstein wrote on his substack. One paragraph is worth repeating:

I will not “respect your pronouns” or “celebrate” your “queerness.” I am hostile to your sexualizing of children. I reject your neologisms, your “triggers,” and your desire to control my speech. I know who and what you are: you are my presumptive master, or else the Useful Idiot who empowers him. But I will grant you and your ideology no power over me.

And then I wrote, “I will hold the line and I will refuse to surrender.” True.

It’s the same principle that was at work in the lives of the early church martyrs. According to the account of Polycarp’s martyrdom:

And there met him the sheriff Herod, and his father Nicetes, who removed him into their carriage, and tried to persuade him, sitting by his side and saying, ‘Now what harm is there in saying “Lord Caesar,” and in offering incense, and so on, and thus saving thyself?’ He at first made no reply, but since they persisted he said, ‘I do not intend to do what you advise.’
— Documents of the Christian Church, 2nd Edition, by Henry Bettenson, Oxford, 1963, p. 10.

Rather than compromise his beliefs, Polycarp went to the stake and burned to death.

My situation is not in the same category, but the principle is the same. If I’m denied my appeal I will refuse to bow to their demand. Screw their rules. I will not allow a twisted understanding of truth to be my master. I won’t bow to the censorship of free speech.

I will gladly wear my banishment as a badge of honor.

I’ll let you know how it works out.

Daily Broadside | Woman Kills Six at Christian School; Link to Gender Confusion Suspected

Over the past few years I’ve written about specific attacks on people who are Christians because they are Christians — for examples, see here, here, here and here. My point is to be taking notes and pointing out that Christians are fair game in the culture war, and I expect it to get more overt.

None of the incidents I’ve chronicled have been violent, until yesterday, when a confused and spiritually ill young woman who pretended to be a man deliberately targeted a Christian school that she attended as a kid and shot to death three children and three adults.

Nashville Police announced on Monday they responded to a shooting at a private elementary school and preschool as officials confirmed three children and three adults died.

Officials identified the child victims as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, saying they are all aged 9.  The adult victims were identified Cynthia Peak, age 61;  Katherine Koonce, age 60; and Mike Hill, age 61; according to a post on Twitter.

Police Chief John Drake told reporters that the shooter was identified as Audrey Hale and that “she identified as transgender, yes,” when asked about whether she had. “At one point she was a student at that school,” he added hours after the shooting. “But unsure what year … but that’s what I’ve been told so far.”

Ms. Hale was confronted on the second floor of the school and shot dead by responding police. No motive has been determined yet, but investigators say they recovered a manifesto and other materials from her car. When asked if her “identity” may have been a motive, the Nashville police chief indicated that there was evidence to that effect. When asked if it was a targeted attack, the chief nodded and simply said, “It was.”

So we’ll have to wait and see what the motive was. My guess is that 28-year-old Audrey Hale blamed Christians for her misery and self-loathing.

The tone-deaf moron in the White House made a statement about the shooting, but not until he had made an ass of himself joking about ice cream and how he had a whole freezer of it upstairs.

President Biden was criticized Monday for his response to the Nashville school shooting after he joked that he only made a public appearance because he heard there would be ice cream before discussing the tragedy that claimed the lives of three adults and three children at an elementary school earlier in the day.

“My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband,” Biden said from the White House’s East Room in his first public appearance since a 28-year-old woman shot and killed three students and three teachers at a Christian private school in Nashville. “I eat Jeni’s ice cream — chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream,” he continued. “By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs,” he added. “You think I’m kidding? I’m not,” Biden told the crowd.

I have it on the very best of authority that when the Resident was installed, “the adults were back in charge.” We can all see how that’s going as he yuks it up at a moment that calls for somber reflection. But that’s what passes for adulthood in this adminstration.

Brandon didn’t waste any time in turning the moment to his extreme contempt for the Second Amendment and exploiting the shooting to push for stricter gun control laws.

“We have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation — ripping at the very soul of the nation. And we — we have to do more to protect our schools so they aren’t turned into prisons. You know, the shooter in this situation reportedly had two assault weapons and a pistol — two AK-47. So I call on Congress, again, to pass my assault weapons ban. It’s about time that we begin to make some more progress.” 

One thing I’m sure about is that we are no longer the “moral and religious People” that John Adams said were necessary under our constitutional government. Because we don’t control ourselves, the powers that be try to impose control through the law. But laws don’t change a heart — only Christ can do that.

As if on cue, here’s an advertisement floating around out there.

I would say that’s a call to violence. Do you suppose the DOJ and the FBI are all over it? I wonder if Ms. Hale was having her own “day of vengeance”?
