    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.

      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.

        Bingo. I agree, typically these shootings are done by more radical right wingers, but the one time it’s done by mentally ill leftist, there’s a blatant effort to keep it under wraps.

        Edit: lol keep downvoting… I’m still right.

          The majority of them aren’t specifically left or right. There’s been a few right ones in the last few years that are paraded in the news nonstop but nowhere near enough to call it “typical.” The silence around this one is far more telling than the actual statistics on motives. Now if you expand the definitions beyond random public massacres and include gang shootings to get to the desired “300th mass shooting this year” metric then the typical politics of the shooters swing wildly away from the right.

          The bottom line is the perpetrators of the type of horrific events the average person thinks of when they hear “mass shooting” are going for media attention which triggers more. The media coverage is the final cause of these so nonstop coverage highlighting a right wing connection sets off other deranged people with similar thoughts. I don’t think any of them on either side should get the attention or publicity but selecting which ideologies to give 24/7 coverage is even worse than publicizing them all.

      The literal point of this post is to point out there seems to be an actual conspiracy to sweep this case under the rug.

    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.

      I’d grab a link from many of the other sources available, but I’m coming to learn that just like reddit, there’s a clique on Lemmy that acts just like MAGAs. When they don’t like a story, they’ll attack the source, not the content.

      I get it though, being a commie in this society is hard. At least you have this safe space.

        Commie? What does calling out fake “news sources” have to do with communism. Can you even define communism? Go ahead. Define it. Then explain what it has to do with calling out Fox News for their own sworn statements.

        Your use of right wing buzzwords reveals the weakness of your position. Save your butt-hurt mewling for a conservative platform where fascists are more welcome.

          Lmaooooo

          There it is!

          “Can you even define communism?”

          Yeah, fantasy. LOL

          This story has been reported by multiple sources now, but it doesn’t matter. Because this doesn’t fit the agenda of the ultra left. It is evident this story was being swept under the rug to hide the truth that mass shootings aren’t just a right wing thing. They’re more often a mental health thing.

          And no, I don’t belong to any sort of right wing forums. What I’m saying isn’t radical or really right wing. Do you really want Lemmy to just be another safe space, circle jerk, echo chamber? Where’s the fun in that? How do you improve or learn if you’re never challenged. It’s naive and childish to want to be in places where one is never countered, where points are never challenged.

            Conservative points are fascist points. Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Never in history has a conservative entered a conversation in good faith. As such, there is no reason to enter into a conversation with a conservative.

            Nearly every act of bigotry, misogyny, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia and antisemitism has been committed by conservatives. We should teach our children why it is immoral to keep relationships with conservatives.

        Yes clearly there is nothing inbetween American Conservative (extreme far right) and Commie. You got it, there are two flavours of politics, commies and 'muricans.

        Thanks, your reply made it clear that you’re a cunt and whatever motivations you had for posting this were that of a cunt.

    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.

    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.”

    I don’t understand the kids part. Maybe because they’re easy kills? Even if this is about class, it’s not going to win anyone over if kids are dying.
