The Cover-Up Continues

Gifting the documents to the parents of the victims is odd. But for the parents of the victims to then assert that they hold some kind of “copyright” on those documents is twisted on its face and one cannot help but wonder what really is behind this enormous effort to withhold information about Audrey Hale. [More]

Why does every indicator say this is more than about their grief?

What filthy politics must be in play for this to even be an issue on as story of such public importance that’s being exploited to ratchet down on our rights?

If I had the information, I’d defy this robed tyrant in an instant and protect my sources to the end.

We’re the Only Ones Manifest Enough

Unfortunately, they’re the only ones who have seen it. Local and federal authorities with access to the manifesto have refused to make its contents public. [More]

Ha! They used “Only Ones.”

I can’t offer more than this and can’t force anyone to pay attention to it.

UPDATE

I’ll give it another shot.

Lousy at Camouflage

“Michael Patrick Leahy … if it were not illegal to beat your ass up … I’d have done it months ago. I have called your show twice because you decided to pound home the transgender Audrey Hale while people who suffered were healing. You dirty potato eating Mick. If I see you on the street … I’m going to end your conservative slant eye a– … I’m willing to go to prison to end you. You dirty drug addict eyed Irish fool. You either end your talk show or I’ll end your life in real time while you do it. You have no right to the manifesto of Audrey Hale and you just want content by obtaining it … Send the authorities. You’d better if you still want to live, Leahy.” [More]

How do they just let this lunatic out on minimal bail with no forced psychiatric hold and assessment?

You’d think at least he’d make it harder to find him in meatspace, and no, I’m not going to link to that.

No Need to Know

The report did not describe any testing to indicate whether the shooter’s blood contained testosterone or other drugs used in gender-affirming care, a theory posited by some to account for the shooter’s behavior. [More]

Why not?

And Epoch Times is reporting “no testing [was] ordered for potential prescription medications” even though the “police chief said [she] was being treated for an emotional disorder.”

Between that and the top-secret manifesto, this thing is being covered up by powerful people who are desperate to not let certain information get out. Unfortunately, getting other powerful people involved in unraveling it requires an effort few seem willing to make.

Meanwhile, Crickets

Intestacy laws establish an order of priority for the inheritance of a diseased person’s assets. If the courts accept their position, it would skirt state law, which generally considers materials such as the manifesto a record of public interest… [More]

All this legal hoop-de-doo continues to obfuscate and delay. I still want to know why a Nashville Council member said “The vast, overwhelming majority of it,’ presented too much of a danger to the public.”

But that would require principled leadership focused more on results than on scoring media points.

And that allows the blood dancers to keep the focus on guns.

The Plot Thickens

Covenant School files motions to intervene in the release of shooter’s writings [More]

To borrow a line from our law enforcement leaders, if you haven’t done anything wrong, what have you got to hide?

Unchecked speculation could well Streisand Effect this thing they’re seemingly desperate to keep quiet into the stratosphere and tell me investigative reporters aren’t using every trick in the book to troll for a whistleblower.

Meanwhile, the spin doctors are out in force.

Manifesto Destiny

According to a local news report, the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) is expected to make public the manifesto that Audrey Hale left behind and is currently reviewing it in collaboration with the FBI for the purpose of public release. [More]

And if they hold stuff back…?

I won’t be surprised to see what they eventually release with key redactions.

Those are some “core values” of “de-escalation and transparency” you’re showing the world, Chief Drake.

So: Who in Tennessee Republican World has the weight to light a fire under this political stonewaller, and why haven’t they?

CMT Uses Music Awards to Announce Partnership with Gun Control Group [More]

Where Credit is Due

In this case, a mentally ill woman suffering a psychotic break with reality was told by the media, doctors, therapists, academics that she was perfectly sane, was actually a man trapped in a woman’s body and was literally fighting against the genocide of people like her. [More]

Critical Mas

End Gun Free Zones – Massad Ayoob & the Solution to Stop Mass School Shootings. [Watch]

Yep.

The only point I would presume to add any kind of caveat is on the identities of the killers. We need to know them so that we aren’t entirely dependent on police and media to find out more, especially about their political views, as we’ve seen it become SOP to take down their social media accounts when they don’t fit the narrative profile.

I don’t have a solution except maybe to have some standard of grading media coverage to incentivize not going overboard in rewarding the aberrations with “fame” — and that doesn’t seem likely as the focus with the latest atrocity is on blaming Christians for the latest monster being driven to slaughtering children because of their “intolerance.”

Nashville Cats

We’re deeply saddened to learn of the school shooting in our hometown of Nashville. Our thoughts remain with the victims & their families. We ALL deserve to live in a country where we can be free from gun violence. Take action & join http://momsdemandaction.org to stop gun violence. [More]

I’ve got a queue of articles that ought to be written building up and only so much time to get to them. I’ve got some history with overprivileged country music “stars” being leftist dipsh!+s that would add a good backdrop to this, but I don’t see how I can even think about getting to doing something until next week, and who knows what priorities will come up?

Maybe I’ll be able to get to it or maybe I’ll have to consider this “evergreen” and save it for the “slow” times– whatever those are.

What’s in a Pronoun?

The shooter who killed three students and three staff members at a Christian school in Nashville legally bought seven weapons in recent years and hid the guns from their parents before carrying out the attack by firing indiscriminately at victims and spraying gunfire through doors and windows, police said Tuesday. [More]

“Their”?

How many people were in there?

Then again, we’re talking AP English.

I remember when that was a fun thing.
