Now do the writings from the other 100 mass shooters this year... Oh yeah they are Trump loving America-First nut jobs and their writing mimics the conspiracy theories and racism of Republican leadership. Let's see the writings of the Trump supporter who stabbed a six year old fifty times just like two weeks ago.

we should be able to see them all. i don't know why you're making it a partisan issue.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can and it's not.

What we should see are the bodies.

The kids splattered beyond recognition by military weaponry.

Would it make you feel better if they were killed by pipe bombs or zip guns?

When there is a right wing manifesto for a shooting it is very quickly released to the public. That is why there is controversy around this because it appears to be blatantly partisan to block a manifesto simply for being from the “wrong” side.

There's "controversy" around this because insecure males get too uncomfortable when an effeminate male makes their pee pees tingle.

This story originates from Fox News and is distributed by Fox affiliates. Fox News has testified in court (multiple times) that their content is untrue, simply for entertainment, and that no reasonable person would confuse their content for fact-based reporting of true events.

In short, this story lacks veracity. Every word uttered by conservatives is deception or manipulation. This story is written by conservatives. Do not believe it.

Thanks for your contribution to Rupert Murdoch's fascism circus being out in front of my eyeballs every single fucking day.

This poor guy probably never saw the text messages released in the Dominion lawsuit between Fox talent like Tucker Carlson and management describing their audience as a bunch of gullible morons.

This feels like a situation where everyone knows about a person cheating on their spouse, except for the spouse, and everyone is too uncomfortable to say anything to them about it.

So the whole reason to block the writings are to hide the fact the shooter targeted wealthy families and to prevent copycats.

The attack definitely falls under class warfare. Why target kids though? That's the f'd up part of this.

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

From Wikipedia, it appears that he attended school there when he was 10, and the victims were age 9. Sounds like a very targeted motive for the shooting.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Absolutely, but the targets were not their bullies. They were just kids.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sounds like the ahooter saw it as attacking the setting/system and not individuals. Fucked up since the 9 year old kids don't choose where they attend or what socioeconomic class they are a part of.

No, there was no need to release the manifesto and it was only released to stoke the "whites are in danger" crowd.

[–] qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah. That's messed up.

A white FtM, fighting white privilege by killing children. That is what I managed to gather.

You read the whole thing and it is uncanny:

Hale, a transgender 28-year-old man going by the name “Aiden” Hale, entered The Covenant School on March 27, 2023 in Green Hills, Tennessee – killing six, before being shot and killed by responding officers.

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 removeds 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.”

My guess is some form of misguided resentment. Some people detest anyone that they think has it better in life than they do
