The dad and mom of the victims of the Covenant Faculty in Nashville, TN, have begged Davidson County Chancery Courtroom to withhold from the general public Audrey Hale’s manifesto and all paperwork belonging to the shooter, which have been legally gifted to the dad and mom of the victims by the shooter’s dad and mom.
Gifting the paperwork to the dad and mom of the victims is odd. However for the dad and mom of the victims to then assert that they maintain some form of “copyright” on these paperwork is twisted on its face and one can not assist however marvel what actually is behind this monumental effort to withhold details about Audrey Hale.
Let’s give it some thought for a minute. What we all know is that Audrey Hale went to elementary college at Covenant, transferred out to Isaiah T. Creswell Center Faculty and Nashville Faculty of Arts then on to Nossi School of Arts. All the pieces was seemingly okay.
At 28 years previous, the now transitioning feminine, was figuring out because the male, Aiden and, whereas dwelling at house with mother and pa, started buying seven firearms, together with shotguns, rifles, and handguns. It was additionally presently that we discover Hale being “handled” for an emotional dysfunction.
On the morning of March 27, 2023, Hale drove to her elementary alma mater and discharged 150 rounds, killing three youngsters and three adults. Why? Why did Hale select Covenant Faculty for her murderous actions? Why not Center or Excessive Faculty or how concerning the native fast-food joint? This was a particular hit. Deliberate. Hale knew the place she was going and why.
The issue is that the general public doesn’t know why. The general public doesn’t know why Hale determined to take the lives of six harmless folks. However the public must dwell with any laws that comes from her murderous conduct… laws which will restrict its proper to personal firearms or will increase funding for psychological well being companies which will truly be liable for Hale’s actions.
So now let’s contemplate what we don’t know. We don’t know the title of the physician or psychiatrist that was “treating” Hale for the emotional dysfunction. We don’t know what “therapy” was supplied to Hale. Did Hale have speak remedy or was Hale prescribed psychiatric mind-altering medication? Did Hale’s physician know whether or not she was a risk to herself or others? If sure, was this info handed alongside to regulation enforcement? Did the physician know Hale was shopping for weapons and was that info shared with regulation enforcement?
Furthermore, the post-mortem explains that there was no optimistic hit for a lot of various kinds of pharmaceuticals, and that doesn’t consider that Hale may have gone off the medicines previous to the capturing. Understanding whether or not Hale had been prescribed any psychiatric medicines is crucial as a result of the antagonistic occasions related to going chilly turkey off medication are extraordinarily severe and even lethal, relying on the drug. Moreover, there nonetheless are some questions concerning the therapeutic ranges of psychotropic medication which will have been excluded from the lab report.
Crazier nonetheless, let’s additionally ask why on the planet did Hale’s dad and mom assume it was a good suggestion to present the shooter’s private writing historical past to the sufferer’s households? That’s a primary. Why? What did these dad and mom assume would come from this weird motion? Is it attainable that Hale’s dad and mom thought this might one way or the other make it simpler for the victims’ households? Or did Hale’s dad and mom imagine gifting away their daughter’s writings would relieve them of any culpability?
One additionally should wonder if the Covenant Faculty’s historical past of sexual abuse that’s broadly reported on social media had any position in Hales assault on the college. Was Hale conscious of the rumored sexual abuse or, God forbid, was Hale a sufferer? Who is aware of? It’s anybody’s guess. And that is the issue with withholding any information which will make clear what led to Hale’s inexplicable murderous actions.
The conflicts of curiosity of among the dad and mom of covenant college are shockingly apparent, having created two money cows, the Covenant Households for Brighter Tomorrows, and the Covenant Households Motion Fund, will certainly be used to generate assaults towards the second modification and push for coercive psychological well being applications of all dad and mom throughout the State.
As well as, a trustee of the board of the covenant college, Dr. C. Buddy Creech, is a vaccinologist, at Vanderbilt Medical Heart, which additionally occurs to be a significant stakeholder within the transitioning trade. It could be fascinating to know the place Hale was searching for steering for her transition. This is the reason you will need to launch as a lot info as attainable concerning the college and the shooter.
Preserving the general public at midnight about Hale’s motives solely results in hypothesis and conspiracy theories. The households of the victims say that releasing the manifesto and paperwork will result in copycat shootings. Naturally, they may very well be proper, however withholding the data can also result in extra shootings. Preserving Hales motives secret doesn’t get the general public to why the murders occurred. Solely sunshine on the difficulty can get the general public the data it must provide you with options to those lethal acts of cowardice.
