The dad and mom of the victims of the Covenant College in Nashville, TN, have begged Davidson County Chancery Court docket to withhold from the general public Audrey Hale’s manifesto and all paperwork belonging to the shooter, which had 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 sort of “copyright” on these paperwork is twisted on its face and one can not assist however surprise what actually is behind this huge 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 faculty at Covenant, transferred out to Isaiah T. Creswell Center College and Nashville College 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 residence with mother and pa, started buying seven firearms, together with shotguns, rifles, and handguns. It was additionally at the moment that we discover Hale being “treated” 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 College for her murderous actions? Why not Center or Excessive College or how in regards to 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 individuals. However the public should stay with any laws that comes from her murderous habits… laws that will restrict its proper to personal firearms or will increase funding for psychological well being companies that will truly be liable for Hale’s actions.
So now let’s think about 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 “treatment” was offered to Hale. Did Hale have speak remedy or was Hale prescribed psychiatric mind-altering medicine? Did Hale’s physician know whether or not she was a risk to herself or others? If sure, was this data handed alongside to regulation enforcement? Did the physician know Hale was shopping for weapons and was that data shared with regulation enforcement?
Furthermore, the post-mortem explains that there was no optimistic hit for a lot of several types of pharmaceuticals, and that doesn’t consider that Hale may have gone off the medicines previous to the taking pictures. Figuring out whether or not Hale had been prescribed any psychiatric medicines is crucial as a result of the adversarial occasions related to going chilly turkey off medicine are extraordinarily severe and even lethal, relying on the drug. Moreover, there nonetheless are some questions concerning the therapeutic ranges of psychotropic medicine that will have been excluded from the lab report.
Crazier nonetheless, let’s additionally ask why on the planet did Hale’s dad and mom suppose it was a good suggestion to reward the shooter’s private writing historical past to the sufferer’s households? That’s a primary. Why? What did these dad and mom suppose would come from this weird motion? Is it doable that Hale’s dad and mom thought this might in some way 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 ponder whether the Covenant College’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 knowledge that will make clear what led to Hale’s inexplicable murderous actions.
The conflicts of curiosity of a number of the dad and mom of covenant faculty 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 in opposition to 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 faculty, Dr. C. Buddy Creech, is a vaccinologist, at Vanderbilt Medical Heart, which additionally occurs to be a significant stakeholder within the transitioning trade. It might be fascinating to know the place Hale was searching for steering for her transition. For this reason it is very important launch as a lot data as doable in regards to the faculty and the shooter.
Maintaining 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 might also result in extra shootings. Maintaining Hales motives secret doesn’t get the general public to why the murders occurred. Solely sunshine on the problem can get the general public the data it must give you options to those lethal acts of cowardice.
