Back in March, I laid out several important reasons why police should release the Tennessee shooter’s manifesto, which they claimed to be in possession of. In short, leaving such things to the public’s imagination lets the worst people on all sides project their sick visions of the world into the void. This, in turn, raises the risk of pointless violence while people who are truly responsible for contributing to the crime — if any — escape scrutiny.

Recently, I sort of got my wish…and it was pretty disappointing. To explain further, let’s first look at what a manifesto is:

Screenshot from a Google search for “manifesto”.

Basically, there needs to be some sort of a coherent statement of policy and aims for something to be considered a manifesto. It has to say something that lets people know where one stands. But, the portion Steven Crowder leaked from the Nashville PD evidence room was basically three diary entries from a person with not only a diseased mind, but little command of the English language.

Of the three pages that were released (out of who knows how many more, plus there may also be a 10-minute video), only one page has anything resembling a manifesto. It was a diary entry from almost two months before the shooting that rambled on about killing.

If this were an actual manifesto, it would have laid out some detailed ideas for the killing, and, as most do, a call to action of some sort. Most people who bother to write a manifesto before going on a shooting spree are killing for attention, and they hope that others will be inspired to do something, too.

The Nashville shooter’s page gives us an idea of the motives, but wanting to kill wealthy, white “faggots” who attend a private church school makes little sense when the shooter is white, is part of the LGBT community, and attended that same school as a child. The shooter was everything that the scribblings say they hated. If anything, this is a manifestation of intense self-hatred that lacks even a hint of self-awareness.

In other words, this isn’t a manifesto as much as the sick rantings of a diseased mind. There’s really nothing important to be learned from this that people in the future can use to save lives. Focusing on the shooter’s motives as if there was some form of rational thought involved is just a distraction.

I know some readers will disagree, but keep in mind that if you’re running a private Christian school, you already know that it’s a potential target for sick people of a range of different ideological persuasions. Instead of wasting time trying gazing into the abyss of Hale’s mind, we should take practical steps that can actually protect innocent lives.

The One Useful Thing We Can Learn From The Nashville Shooter

There is one useful here, but we have to look at two more pages of this person’s diseased ranting. First, let’s look at what was written the day Hale changed irregular verbs were . . .

The one thing that jumps out from this page: “Can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m ready…I hope my victims aren’t. My only fear is if anything goes wrong.”

On another page, we find out what Hale’s biggest fear that day was . . .

Upon arrival, and before getting guns out of the vehicle, the shooter planned to check the parking lot for any armed security personnel.

As we now know, no security personnel were found, and the shooter was able to take time entering the school without any armed opposition. The killing didn’t stop until police officers entered the school and did their actual jobs (something the Uvalde Police Department in Texas could learn a thing or three from).

The bottom line is this: the one thing this shooter feared was armed security. They had no fear of the law. There was no fear what anyone in the Republican Party was going to say about transgender people afterwards. There was no fear of what anyone in the Democrat Party was going to say about guns afterwards. There was no revulsion at the idea of murdering innocent children, and thus no moral restraints.

There may be something useful on the other pages that haven’t been released, but based on what we’ve seen so far, the only useful takeaway is that places with vulnerable people need armed people to protect them. Let’s focus on doing that.

  1. IMO the more important takeaway is that politicians, authorities and media will all work in concert to manipulate, obfuscate, shape and otherwise distort the information that is fed, filtered or suppressed to the people and nobody will care.

  2. “The Nashville shooter’s page gives us an idea of her motives, but wanting to kill wealthy, white “faggots” who attend a private church school makes little sense when the shooter is white, is part of the LGBT community, and attended that same school as a child.”

    It makes perfect sense, self-loathing is a common trait of that ilk. It’s why they allow people to literally shit on the sidewalks they walk on every day, while being proud of how ‘tolerant and accepting of others not like themselves’ are.

    Unless you don’t vote the way they do. That they despise, and literally want you dead, as soon as possible… 🙁

  3. Yeah I don’t care what an evil lunatic murderer was motivated by. Guard your children(and adults)like it matter’s. If the freak who shall not be named encountered resistance “it” would have gone to a different target🙄

    • I directly collaborate with the security team for a nearby Christian private school, on a regular basis. This incident stepped up concerns that a similar attack could happen here. As one of the senior members of the team (a dual-sworn LEO/LEA) remarked, “in today’s disintegrating environment, it’s no longer a question of if, but when.”

      As society around us becomes more secularized and dismissive of the foundational faith-based fabric that our nation was originally woven from, plus the hard push of pharmaceut!cals and vacc!nes to alter bodies and minds, we’ll see an increasing number of individuals who choose to act out their angst with v!olent aggress!on.

      Hence, I carry. I wish I lived in a world where this was not necessary, but I do.

      • If that didn’t get moderated good use of creative substitution and very much the viewpoint of many up my way LEO and otherwise especially on the pharm end.

      • But for every school or church that has enough concerns to arm, there are plenty of others who believe “it can’t happen here”.

      • ANd you nthink that YOU will make the slighest difference to a determined SHOOTER? You are the FIRST TARGET because you have been stupid enohgh to avertise yourself Remember this guy expected to bloody well DIE anyway and his so-calaed MANIESTO was a much as anything a SUICIDE note Just another bloody WALTER MITTY Nobdoy and no school and no child can ever be protected 100% of the time And why Americans do not seem to realise that VIOLENCE begets violence and the Major part of America’s FIREARMS probalem is sheer availability especially when yo consider that perhaps as many as 2/3rds of Firearrms in the USA are held ILLEGALLY and unregistered.

        • Spout off unverifiable garbage much?

          A twenty five yard off hand shot in a church a while back made a BIG difference to the volume occupied by a shit heads’ cranium.

          Yeah, it pretty much stopped it cold in its’ tracks, I’d say..

  4. These pages leave me even more convinced that contained within the rest of her “diary” is the extensive research she did concerning local gun free zones, and releasing it will highlight all the weaknesses. Releasing it will also highlight the security theater all over the country, and ease the way for the inevitable copycats to happily hunt, unimpeded.

  5. There’s much to be learned for this. The lefty obsession with Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) has raised the general temperature and painted White straight Christians as scapegoats for everything wrong in the world. What did you think would happen by pushing this stuff? Exactly what did happen. Violence against straight, White Christians.

    This is classic communist revolutionary stuff. In Russia, it was the Kulaks nailed to the wall as scapegoats. In the West in 2023, it’s straight White Christians. I don’t think I need to tell you what happened in Russia. The only thing I can say is, if you are a straight White Christian, or even just White, you need to get strapped. Now.

    • Yes, white straight Christians, but, don’t forget the toxic male bit. A woman can escape the left’s bull’s eye zone, if she just puts out some nookie for black and brown people. Having a half-black baby is certain to make her the left’s “good guys”. There is almost no way that a white male can mullify the radical leftists. I mean, the men colonized the world, and just dragged their women behind, right?

      Reminds me of Islam. Kill the males, and enslave and rape the women. As the women produce half-Muslim offspring, they can be offered opportunities to become Muslim themselves. It works a charm – few women can come to hate their own offspring, no matter how those offspringers were conceived.

      • “Reminds me of Islam. Kill the males, and enslave and rape the women“

        Hilarious self-own.

        Numbers 31:17-18 KJV

        17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

        • The self-own is believing that you can pick out any Bible verse without attempting to understand any context, except possibly Proverbs. Verse format only exists to help navigate the Bible. They were added at a later date. They were never meant to be taken on their own.

          The other self-own is thinking that the bulk of the Five Books of Moses reflect the Christian faith.

        • miner is a militant atheist. You know, like mao and stalin.

          Although he has come down in support of hamas so maybe he is picking a religion after all.

        • Was going to ask if you bothered with context saw the other comments and realized yet again you are just posting empty garbage. At least try to understand the source data it makes it more interesting to argue.

        • Miner didn’t accidentally come across his favorite Bible versus through his studies. As usual, he just plagiarizes the work of others, in this case a fellow Christian-hater (even though his favorite passages apply more to Jews). He has no intention of learning anything. When you press him, he’ll say he despises all of the major religions as an afterthought. Yet he doesn’t look for and repost any objectionable passages from the Quran. Why the focus on Christianity? Because that’s the declared enemy of the Left. Miner jumps when they say jump.

        • Miner69er is a h*m*sexu*l. He was s**ually aroused by the tr*nn*’s ki*ling spree. It just really turned him on.

        • “miner is a militant atheist. You know, like mao and stalin.”

          More like Beavis and Butt-head!

        • “you can pick out any Bible verse without attempting to understand any context“

          I hear preachers do this all the time, cafeteria Christians cherry picking verses to fit their narrative.

          And tell me, precisely what context would justify killing “the little ones”?
          .
          .
          .
          .
          “The other self-own is thinking that the bulk of the Five Books of Moses reflect the Christian faith.“

          Another self-own, suggesting the mosaic law is not part of the Christian faith.

        • “I hear preachers do this all the time, cafeteria Christians cherry picking verses to fit their narrative.”

          I know. I do too. That doesn’t mean it’s right. Are you trying to be like them? I’ve even called out someone on this site for doing that.

          We’ve already had an extensive conversation about your favorite gotcha verses. I’m not redoing that just so you can change the subject and run away like you do with every other conversation I invest in. Remember how in the end, I suggested that you talk to several rabbis (experts) to get their take on it? I said I would do the same, and we could compare notes. Have you done that yet?

          “suggesting the mosaic law is not part of the Christian faith.”

          Why don’t you poll ten Christians to see how many of them follow the laws, rules, and ordinances found in the Five Books of Moses. I’ll eagerly await your report. Again, if you’re interested in learning something, then go talk to an expert, like a Catholic priest, about that subject. Or you can continue living in blissful ignorance, if that’s more appealing to you.

        • wow Miner49er… for an atheist you sure seem to rely on the Bible a lot as fact of some made up excuse to post stupid.

          You seem to be searching for meaning, but have no answers to pull from in your atheism forgetting that about 99% of murderers in US history have been those which were atheistic in their lacking the moral grounding of sanity. But I don’t expect you to understand that.

        • “he’ll say he despises all of the major religions“

          No, I have never said I despise any religion, you are once again intentionally mischaracterizing my position in order to support your delusional narrative of a war on Christianity.

          By definition, all religions are delusional, and authoritarian in nature. When you have faith and believe in something for which there is no evidence, that is a delusion.

          You folks whine about Mao and Stalin, but the truth is neither one of those authoritarian dictators used atheism as a motivation for their crimes. Atheism is not a religion or a faith, it is merely a disbelief in the claims of gods and supernatural bullshit.

          “Why don’t you poll ten Christians to see how many of them follow the laws“

          Oh yes, ‘appeal to popularity’, another recognized fallacy often used by the religionistas:

          “The appeal to popularity fallacy is made when an argument relies on public opinion to determine what is true, right, or good“

          “you talk to several rabbis (experts) to get their take on it?“

          Rabbis are not experts, they are just more delusional adherents to their particular religion, just like mullahs and preachers. I prefer actual academics who have studied the subject, learned the ancient languages and published their findings in peer reviewed articles. May I suggest James Tabor or Bart Ehrman at UNC.

          “talk to an expert, like a Catholic priest“

          Expert? Strange, when I ask an evangelical preacher, they tell me the Catholics have it all wrong and will be going to hell for their idolatry.

          “Why the focus on Christianity?“

          Because I live in America, where the Christians are continually trying to take control of our society.
          It wasn’t Mohammedans, Zoroastrians or Hindus who forced their God into our pledge of allegiance.
          There are no Mohammedans forcing me to pray five times a day, but there are Christians forcing me to close my business on Sunday.

        • And tell me, precisely what context would justify killing “the little ones”?

          Still awaiting an answer.

        • “your delusional narrative of a war on Christianity.”

          Are you saying all of those comments (including on this very page) you have made over the years putting down Christians are a figment of my imagination? Miner, 90% of your comments here are “Christians bad, Republicans bad, and what about Truuuuump!” You aren’t fooling anyone.

          “all religions are delusional, and authoritarian”

          Do you like delusional and authoritarian people? That’s your view on all religions. Where do you think I came up with you despising all religions? Maybe that wasn’t a verbatim comment, but you have said as much countless times.

          “Oh yes, ‘appeal to popularity’, another recognized fallacy often used by the religionistas”

          You’re acting as if I was avoiding the question because I can’t answer the question. I can. I wanted you to find out for yourself. There is a tiny percentage of Christians who follow the Old Covenant. They’re mostly made up of ethnic Jews who are Christians who do it as a way to preserve their traditions. The rules, laws, and ordinances in the Five Books of Moses are part of the Old Covenant. Christians (99%) do not follow them. I have mentioned this to you before. You choose to remain ignorant. Why can’t you tolerate people with different beliefs?

          “I prefer actual academics…”

          That isn’t working out for you. They must be teaching you the wrong things. You think you need to have peer reviewed articles in order to be a Biblical expert? I was pointing you in the direction of Jewish and Christian religious leaders. You never know what you might get from stopping by the local corner church. There’s a process to become a priest. That’s the only reason I mentioned that.

          “Why the focus on Christianity? … It wasn’t Mohammedans, Zoroastrians or Hindus who forced their God into our pledge of allegiance.”

          That’s because you were lucky enough to be born in a Christian country instead of an Islamic country. Look up Sharia law. I see all kinds of businesses open on Sunday, and I live in the Bible belt. What type of business do you own? How often are you forced to cite the Pledge of Allegiance?

        • Miner, 90% of your comments here are “Christians bad, Republicans bad, and what about Truuuuump!” You aren’t fooling anyone.

          Edit:
          Also coming from Miner: America and it’s founding bad!

          Miner, I would suggest that you immigrate to an Islamic country since you sincerely believe that America is worse. The only problem is, I’m not sure they would accept you. There is no other country on the planet that’s as accepting as America is.

      • Don’t forget the “religion of peace” castrated most of their Male slaves. Even though 6 in 10 died from the procedure it was still considered profitable for the increased value.

        Despite nearly 1300 years of enslaving Africans because of the policy of castrating male slaves there is no African diaspora in muslim lands.

        • “the “religion of peace” castrated most of their Male slaves“

          Yes, a reprehensible practice worthy of condemnation.

          But it was nowhere as sick as in the American slave system , where masters would rape their female slaves so that they would become pregnant. When the master’s child was born of the slave, he would sell his own children into a life of bondage and misery.

          “SUMMARY
          The sexual exploitation of enslaved people was a facet of enslavement in Virginia that took many forms for both women and men. Enslavers sexually assaulted and abused enslaved individuals, demanded reproduction from them to enhance their own bottom lines, and otherwise used the bodies of the enslaved for monetary gain, pleasure, and punishment.

          https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/sexual-exploitation-of-the-enslaved/

          Even the hallowed Founding Father Thomas Jefferson raped his underage slave girls and sold his own children into slavery.

          And every one of these American Masters was a practicing Christian who used their Christianity as authorization for the enslavement of other humans, read it for yourself:

          Leviticus 25:44-46
          King James Version

          44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

          45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

          46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

        • Except, once again you are furiously flaunting your ignorance. You are obsessed with the Torah. You willfully ignore what Christianity is. You don’t want to understand it. You want an excuse to have prejudice against Christians. Learn about the teachings of Jesus and the New Covenant, if you really want to know about Christianity.

          Did Thomas Jefferson quote Leviticus as his form of authorization, or did you make that up? That’s a serious question, by the way. People have historically used all kinds of excuses for their behavior, including religion.

    In reality its the Republicans that have consistently blocked Universal Health Care that would make mental health care affordable.

    Republican have consistently blocked tough Federal Red Flag Laws that would disarm nut cases like her as well.

    Republicans have consistently blocked mandatory mental health tests before one could be permitted to buy a deadly weapon.

    The Far Right cannot refute the fact that foreign nations who have implemented these and other gun control laws have far fewer homicides and mass shootings than Capitalvania does where life is still considered cheap and expendable.

    • We basically have universal healthcare here in NY. For inpatient mental health care for this level of crazy it starts at 100k on average if they can play nice with others and 160k if they are violent/manipulative/self harm risk. Nothing will ever make mental health affordable given the time expertise and individual care required as even AI would still only address a portion of the expenses if we go full doctorbot. Manage your expectations and determine how much risk you want in society.

  7. Jennifer,
    I think you’re failing to grasp what is happening right now in Western countries. The self-hatred makes perfect sense if you would open your eyes and look around. That is exactly what our current society and culture are preaching to young minds. This person’s mindset is the logical conclusion of Marxist indoctrination. She wasn’t radicalized by viewing some obscure site on the net full of a few losers and agents spouting crap from their computers. She was radicalized by merely existing in our current world without possessing the tools to fend off the propaganda being pumped out 24/7 by academia, mainstream news media, pop culture, and even our own government.

    “There’s really nothing important to be learned from this that people in the future can use to save lives. Focusing on the shooter’s motives as if there was some form of rational thought involved is just a distraction.”

    Your disconnect with reality is frankly scary.

    “There was no revulsion at the idea of murdering innocent children, and thus no moral restraints.

    There is no objective moral standard. That’s the world we live in. Should we ignore the consequences of that too?

    • “The self-hatred makes perfect sense if you would open your eyes and look around. That is exactly what our current society and culture are preaching to young minds.”

      It’s that self-loathing that’s key, as I explained but got sent to TTAG moderation Hell… 🙁

      • Self-loathing and no hope for a future what with all the doomsday programming kids are getting. Nothing to live for, hatred of self and plenty of scapegoats.

        • I respectfully disagree with the “no hope” part. The programming and indoctrination is more along the lines of “if you can dream it you can do it”, and if wishing doesn’t make the world just fall in your lap the moment you find the “courage” to say “I wanna”, it’s because you’re oppressed.

          It isn’t about working harder to get better because there is no “better”. There’s not only no moral standard, as Dude noted, there can be no factual truth either because facts are offensive.

        • “Don’t open your eyes, you won’t like what you see/
          The Devils of truth steal the souls of the free”

          comes to mind.

          Note that the search for Utopia is never a positive vision towards a better end but rather a set of negative recursive iterations to remove the perceived wrong while intentionally ignoring context.

          That is, always searching for the wrong to be excised and then removing it before realizing that what remains is also imperfect and requires an excision repeatedly until there is nothing left.

          Abyssus abyssum invocat ad infinitum, as it were.

          As such, even your improvements focus exclusively on the negative. It’s a really rather depressing way to look at, well, everything.

    • your remblings fail to take into accoun that this misfit had attended this same school when she was younger. I can’t say for certain, but if this school is, represents, and taeches what such a school SHOULD be teaching, this misfit has no excuse. She HAS HEAER the truth of who SHE is, and WHY she is here. And she had it out into the distbin.
      The confusion and lostness is the result f the mind-numbing drivel infecting our culture that puts the burden of “being simething meaningful” on each individual’s shoulders. The concept that each one has boundless worth and value BECAUSE God made you and put you HERE provides value and purpose for anyone no matter their circumstances.
      Instead this creture rejected this truth and decided God’s decision to make HER, and to make her FEMALE, were wrong.. thus professing that SHE knows more than the God who made her. And since no one can faithfully carry that out, frustration, self-loathing, and hatred of self and others is the certain result.
      Thus she decided to “fix” the “problem”, failing ti admit that SHE is the problem herself. Sad others had to die. More sad yet is that had that 61 year old custodian been armed as pat of his duties and role, she never would hve accesssed the building. As she shot out that entry door, turned round backwards to get through the metal and glass, he’d have ordered her to drop the gun, turn her back toward him and face the wall, and held her there till the coppers got there. Inread all he could do was absorb one or more of her bullets and lay down and die.
      thus the bleeding heart liberal “guns have no place here” meme the school had adopted led to only HER gun being there, and six dead people at her hand.

    • M@rxism is big on self-criticism so having followers hate themselves and project that hate onto “others” is a major feature of “the faith”.

      Morals, ethics, and law are seen as limitations and weaknesses, unless they are those from “the party”.

      • That have to hate everything and be envious. How else do you get them to forcibly overthrow all existing social conditions, as Marx called for.

  8. I will commend you for bringing attention to her note about security. I noticed that as well. You’re right that it’s something to think about. I recall the police saying that she wanted to hit another school as well, but she had noted that their security was a problem. There’s a reason gas stations offer the police free coffee and discounts.

    We know the media loves to dissect these events when it’s politically convenient for Democrats. Will they harp on the fact that this girl was concerned there might be someone there to shoot back?

    • THIS has been a key issue, fastidiously IGNORED by media, for every other mass shooting incident in this country. Starting with the Texas Tower shooting way back when, through Luby’s Cafe and on down the line to this mess, that HAS been the issue.. EVERY potential target that had some modicum of security present was pased over. I have to proof, but I”m quite certain that the killer who shot up the Parkland High School in Florida knew about the one SRO who was “armed” (he had a handgun on his belt but was a total wimp and the killer knew he’d not be a problem)

      there is one incident I am aware of where the perp had checked out the gun ban situation, but failed to account for one small detail: while there certainly WERE signs around that shopping mall with the cute Glock silhouette, red circle and slash through it, and “no guns” in bold black letters…. perp had NOT studied Oregin law. Those signs are not government’compliant thus are mere suggestions. All we who go there and KNOW state laws know they are not binding onlu suggestions or hints, and we carry anyway. One young man heard the gunshots, went TOWARD them, drew his handgun and sighted on the killer, who noticed him, got dwn off his perch, walked down a corrridor entered a passageway and did the best thing he’d done all day with his rifle.. killed himself. Two dead victis. Had that young man NOT knowhn the law and kept his gun outside as the signs pretty-please suggested, several hundred could have died that morning. Clackamas Towne Centre Mall Shooting, Oregon.
      Perp had NOT done his homewlrk, Perp died, inly two victims. Hero KNEW the law kept it, and saved many lives without even firing one round.
      Those “pretty please with a lump of sugar on top” signs are still there today, and are still ignored by we who matter. Not one such incident since then.

      • the killer who shot up the Parkland High School in Florida […] he had a handgun on his belt but was a total wimp and the killer knew he’d not be a problem)”

        Yep, prior interactions on the record between those two, on and off campus.

  9. Jennifer, the three pages released is not the ‘manifesto’. Its just some entries from the day of and leading up to one event.

    When this happened there were several ‘journals’ found under her bed. In statements from around that time various ‘politicians’ had gotten to view these, this is what they were calling the ‘manifesto’. From various snippets from their statements, in those journals there was a ‘declaration of war’ upon (the aim, goal, the manifesto outlining a war and attacks by trans people against) society in which she was to be joined by others to kill all non-trans people and white people and indications she was to be the ‘vanguard’ of this ‘war’ where her actions would signal the start of this ‘war’.

    Notice that her actions were around when the “Trans Day of Vengeance” was suppose to take place, and around the same time ANTIFA had announced they had allied with an armed violence-focused militant trans group and announced their intent was to murder biological females. From research I’ve done over time it appears she was in contact with ANTIFA and this violence-focused militant trans group from about middle 2001 on and off up until a few days before she carried out her attack.

    So don’t be disappointed, the ‘manifesto’ has not yet been released and we will probably never see the whole thing ‘officially’ released.

      • Yes, the words ‘final video’ indicates there were others. I suspect these were part of the written journals they found.

        There were ‘several’ of these ‘journals’ which also seems to indicate she had been ‘journaling’ about this ‘war’ for a while, fill one up and start another.

        We know she had done advanced recon on targets, and the school was just one of them. She expected to die at one of these, she died at the school. She had time to escape after shooting her victims before the cops showed up but didn’t. She went to room on the second level, and that’s where she died.

        Myself, I think she had done ‘dry runs’ on various targets over time and just didn’t get spotted and caught. For example, the entry in the released pages “There were several times I could have been caught especially b—ack in the summer of 2021.”

    • “she was in contact with ANTIFA and this violence-focused militant trans group from about middle 2001 on and off“

      A 20+ year plan, that’s some long range planning right there

      “indications she was to be the ‘vanguard’ of this ‘war’ where her actions would signal the start of this ‘war’.“

      “Similar to Charles Manson, he wanted to start a race war by killing white people and making it look as if blacks were the perpetrators.

      “She expected to die at one of these, she died at the school. She had time to escape after shooting her victims before the cops showed up but didn’t“

      Yep, a suicide plan by a crazy person.

      • “Yep, a suicide plan by a crazy person.”

        Mentally ill, yes. But a suicide plan? Well yes but no, the plan was she was to be the first ‘martyr’ of the ‘war’ and that’s a little more than ‘suicide’. And those that followed her political terrorism ideology example publicly praised her as a ‘martyr’ without one word about her evil act and the innocent lives she took.

        The collective writings found in her vehicle in the school parking lot, and others later found in the bedroom of her home, she documented, in journals, her planning over a period of months to commit mass murder and studied the actions of past mass shooters. She expressed her desire to be remembered for what she did and for others to follow her example and basically win the ‘war’ by killing as many as possible. It wasn’t just simple suicide, she wanted to be a martyr.

        • “And those that followed her political terrorism ideology example” as in those in the Trans community that followed the story of her terrorism and as they (some of them) mourned her they praised her as a ‘martyr’ for their ’cause’.

    • Correction for : “From research I’ve done over time it appears she was in contact with ANTIFA and this violence-focused militant trans group from about middle 2001 on and off up until a few days before she carried out her attack. ”

      The 2001 should have been 2021

  10. From Ms. Sensiba’s article:

    There’s really nothing important to be learned from this that people in the future can use to save lives.

    Au contraire mon ami!

    Ms. Sensiba provides the most important pearl of wisdom that we can learn from the spree-killer’s rantings, “… this isn’t a manifesto as much as the sick rantings of a diseased mind.

    And there you have it: we have sick and evil-minded people among us who secretly (and sometimes not-so-secretly) plan to harm us at the time and place of THEIR choosing. That, ladies and gentlemen, is an extremely important fact that all of us should learn and incorporate into our lives.

  11. Fish go to schools and they’ never pick up a gunm and kill somebody.
    I think school and school kids should be held underwater.

    • “I think school and school kids should be held underwater.”

      Until they stop struggling? 🙂

        • Instead of holding the students under, how about just the so called educators? If any outside influence corrupted the shooters mind it was the combination of the current education system in most of the country and social media.

  12. Armed resistance reduces casualties, and provides deterrence. The certainty that the capacity for resistance exists, but uncertainty as to its exact nature and location, complicates planning enormously – which in turn provides deterrence.

  13. 1 clear takeaway… You can’t trust any governmental organization, that refuses to release the details of any situation. That doesn’t conform to the ideology of those in control of it.

  14. I think we have know what the author of the article has stated “the only useful takeaway is that places with vulnerable people need armed people to protect them. Let’s focus on doing that.” for a long time. After action reports from many of these shootings point to the fact that “Gun Free Zones” are the main focus of these shooters over the past 30 years. Protect our kids and other vulnerable people with armed personnel that are willing to really protect them unlike the Uvalde Police. This is not rocket science so why can’t we do it.

  15. “Upon arrival, and before getting guns out of the vehicle, the shooter planned to check the parking lot for any armed security personnel.”

    This was also of concern to the islamic terrorists just a few weeks ago.

    Terrorists think alike.

    • And armed guards took out armed Islamic terrorists in the parking lot when they showed up at a Pamela Geller function.

  16. And I repeat I want to see this woman’s pharmacy records and possibly all FBI files on her. Do not assume this woman was not encouraged and drugged. The one big difference between an America, where you could take a shotgun to school to hunt after class, and now is the availability of certain drugs and a deep state that thinks it can and should disarm the populace. One basic principle in the sciences is the simplest solution is the likely one.

  17. Sorry Jennifer, we did need this partial leak. It helps refute the claims the leftists like our resident trolls and the broadcast media always push. People need to be reminded that the SSRI tyranny crowd are frequently programmed to hate normal people and along with the violent rhetoric spewed from the Democrat swamp against the Christians, whites, and asians they have been taught to hate.

  18. Her manifesto proves what I’ve been saying all along. The biggest fear these mass shooters have isn’t their own death, it’s the fear of failure. Failure of not being able to achieve a large enough number of killings. Because they fear that an armed victim might stop them from achieving the notoriety that they crave, the answer to stopping these mass shooters isn’t fewer guns, but more guns in the proper hands in more places. It is a proven fact that laws do not stop these killers and signs prohibiting guns are useless.

  19. ‘The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun’ still rings true. Laws don’t stop bad people from doing bad things.

    • Yes, Jim. This is common sense. Gun control politicians either lack common sense or have deeper, darker, more sinister motivations. It’s not about gun control, it’s about people control. These politicians pass laws that they know will create more gun violence victims because they need more gun violence victims so they can use them for more gun control laws. It’s a vicious cycle that won’t end until they achieve complete power over us or enough of us wake up and stop them by no longer voting for these evil politicians.

  20. I’d suggest that “There’s really nothing important to be learned from this that people in the future can use to save lives.” is incorrect.

    This doesn’t read like the rantings of a “diseased mind” to me. It reads like the rantings of someone in the grip of a self-immolating form of emotional despair who has decided to do something terrible as a way to regain some sense of agency. Which actually isn’t that uncommon. IMHO, it’s the target here that makes this notable at the national level, not the underlying behavior.

    Depression and anger, possibly mixed with abuse, coddled by outright celebratory nihilism and directed at an easy target chosen for a combination of personal and political reasons because society basically encourages this behavior at this point.

    Nietzsche warned of exactly this but Marilyn Manson explained the mindset with better guitar work in the background.

    It’s pretty impressive how much foresight there is on the Antichrist Superstar album, actually. Probably his most interesting album lyrically, an oddly more political and forward looking version of The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails, that same self-destructive, burning hated vibe but without the tinge of hope Trent used, and then took away, before explaining some of the reasoning so well that Johnny Cash covered it.

    • “…that same self-destructive, burning hated vibe but without the tinge of hope Trent used, and then took away, before explaining some of the reasoning so well that Johnny Cash covered it.”

      I’ve heard that Reznor was pissed when he first heard how Cash covered it, but did a full 180 when he saw how the video turned out.

      To the point that he stated “It’s no longer my song anymore…” :

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI

      • The video was shot in Cash’s Nashville home, notice how extensive the furnishings were.

        Nearly all of it was destroyed in a house fire not long after the video was shot…

      • I don’t remember him being “pissed” but I do remember him saying he found the cover invasive (or maybe intrusive?) when he first heard it.

        Which, honestly, isn’t that surprising when you think about it. Especially if you know what The Downward Spiral was, was meant to be and what went down with David Bowie and the duet thing.

        The song was good in its own right before Cash, not my favorite off the album but it’s a rock solid closer and damn personal. Grammy nom for Best Rock Song in the mid 1990’s, either 95 or 96. It also charted far better than Cash’s version did, which is interesting even though Cash got a bunch of awards over the cover.

        The topic comes up occasionally with certain publications that I don’t really “get”.

        The funny thing is that they all seem to be kinda the same. If you say something to them or their readership like “Well, hey now, look. Not every musician can have the career highlights of marrying Courtney Love and then suck starting a shotgun” they tend to get very, very angry, which actually tells you quite a lot about them.

  21. One thing not remarked upon enough as to motive or reason is the fact that the shooter was taking hormone blockers and testosterone.

    Adolescent males learn to cope with the tendency of testosterone to lead to acts of aggression over many years (see also anabolic steroid rage). Meanwhile, someone like this perp was likely already on an SSRI (complete with black label warning of increased suicidality), with a constant pigeon holed social media propaganda narrative of victimhood and the non-existent “trans genocide” being ballyhooed online. It’s this toxic mix of ideology, hormone modification, and psychiatric drugs which are likely most responsible for this act.

  22. So, one more straw on the camels’ back…

    “Beginning in late 2020 with the COVID vaccine rollout, some doctors have seen an increase in unusual psychiatric illnesses.

    “Psychiatrist Dr. Amanda McDonald noticed a wave of psychiatric destabilization among her stable patients. They experienced flare-ups, often manifesting with worsened or new psychiatric symptoms.

    “I couldn’t figure out why,” Dr. McDonald told The Epoch Times. “My patients typically stay stable.” But many stable patients were suddenly arriving at her office with insomnia, depression, and anxiety “without any sort of rhyme or reason.””

  23. Was a time not so long ago when putting armed security around the schools would have not even been considered. Yes, shootings and violence did happen back in the day, but was usually limited to a fistfight between boys over minor issues. Actual shootings were extremely rare.
    Now it seems we hear about such incidents on a regular basis. Usually right about the same time as the idiots running things start another push for disarmament or for more government authority over everyday life.
    Then there is the mental illness issue. Usually accompanied with vilification of or demands for more restrictions for firearms owners.
    I could write several pages on possible solutions for many issues we see today. But, since my views wouldn’t be popular with politicians or leftists/progressives, nor religious zealots, none would be acceptable.
    The supposed manifesto as published are nothing of the sort. Just the ramblings and drivel of a broken mind and hate filled rantings of a very sick and twisted mind.
    It honestly would not be difficult to harden schools to help prevent outside attacks. Going back to text books and dropping the extra crap that is taught instead of actual education would limit much of the problem. The US spend a fortune on education on a per student basis, but consistently comes up short on results.

  24. People are informed they can live as well and good as they want and believe me they don’t want all that much but the next bit of knowledge is how. This is the next step. Say it is so.
