Fox News personality Tucker Carlson argued that the manifesto written by the Nashville elementary shooter is not being released by authorities and the media for very specific reasons.
Nashville police chief John Drake confirmed that the suspect in the case identified “as transgender” and told reporters she left behind maps of the school and a “manifesto” indicating there may have been other targets.
The shooter opened fire early Monday morning and killed three students at The Covenant School, all 9 years of age, along with three adults.
Details of the manifesto, however, remain scarce.
“Well, that’s interesting,” Carlson said on his Tuesday night broadcast. “Within what seemed like minutes, we saw pictures of the rifles and the pistol. We now have horrifying body cam footage from within the school.”
“But somehow we can’t see the manifesto in which the killer explains why she killed.”
I applaud NPD for releasing surveillance & bodycam footage but they need to release the Manifesto too
The public deserves to learn more about this emerging domestic terror movement
Not doing so may end up in more innocent lives lost#ReleaseTheManifestohttps://t.co/IxpdMDQQzG

Tucker Carlson Explains Why Nashville Shooter Manifesto Remains Under Wraps
Tucker Carlson said the quiet part out loud, citing a pair of reasons why the Nashville shooter’s manifesto has yet to be released by authorities or the media.
The nation’s leading political commentator argued that what the nation saw, as evidenced in part by this tragedy earlier in the week, was an example of “trans terrorism.”

Carlson argues that the left doesn’t want attacks on the Christian community revealed through this manifesto. Some conservatives have speculated the school was targeted in part due to its religious association and its opposition to LGBT ideology.
“Somehow we can’t see the manifesto in which the killer explains why she killed. Why is that?” he asked.
“It’s not accidental. You know exactly why it is – because it would make the obvious undeniable,” added Carlson. “The trans movement is targeting Christians, including with violence.”
It’s quite the difference from other tragedies. Readers will recall that details about the Buffalo shooter’s manifesto were in the media almost immediately, warning of the dangers of racist white men.

Would Ruin the Left’s Gun Grab
Carlson went on to suggest another reason the manifesto remains under wraps – its release would reveal the war on Christians and focus the discussion on mental health instead of the Democrats’ argument to ban guns.
“We’re going to prevent you from learning why the shooter did it, and we don’t have to guess because she wrote a whole manifesto about why she did it,” he explained.
“But we can’t see it. We can only talk about the guns.”
I appreciate the response and transparency from Nashville police so far. Getting that body cam footage out so quickly was important. But we also need to see the manifesto and we need to see it soon. The longer it takes, the less the public will trust whatever we do eventually see

Newsweek reports that LGBT groups are working to make sure the manifesto of the Nashville shooter never sees the light of day.
Doing so, they argue, could have a negative impact on trans people.
“Calls for police to release the ‘manifesto’ … has prompted concern among LGBTQ+ groups, who caution against the publication of such a document,” the outlet writes.
LGBTQ+ groups told Newsweek that publishing the manifesto from the perpetrator of Monday’s school shooting could have “serious consequences.” Nashville Police said it won’t make the manifesto public “during an open investigation.” https://t.co/Vr6Xd7NMb0

Would the media be concerned about “serious consequences” if such a massacre had been carried out by a deranged Trump supporter?
Of course not. The manifesto would have already been published. And there would be countless stories about how Republicans are violent and the former President is directly responsible.
The Nashville attack is very different.
“We can’t know what kind of drug she was taking, what kind of hormones or SSRI or benzodiazepines,” Carlson said of the transgender shooter. “We can only guess. We can only talk about the guns.”
While it’s not public, Nashville Police Chief John Drake on Tuesday gave reporters their first glimpse into the manifesto the suspect, 28-year-old Audrey Hale, had left behind before the shooting.

Nashville Police have said they won’t make the manifesto public “during an open investigation.”
“I have not read the whole entire manifesto,” Chief Drake told reporters. “Our team and the FBI have been working on this.”

Just another of the government trying to control the people they work for and who pay their salaries. If you control the information you control the basis on which decisions are made, including electoral decisions. They can’t risk that decision process being influenced by the whole truth. Funny how we have to swear to tell the whole truth in court.
Trans groups dont want it revealed that they have been calling for a trans day of violence, I seen it clearly posted on tic tok and it was an out and out call to beat, maim and violently cause harm to anyone who does not bow to their agenda. I could not believe that fascistbook had it in their tic tok reels section, since I have been given time outs for saying things far less then violent.
When so much “Bad Faith” is being demonstrated on a daily basis in the “media”, who can blame us all for being highly suspicious of the motives of ALL who suppress details – it is not as though there is going to be a Court Case for the murdering trans person is it ? !!
The question now is “DO CHRISTIAN CHILDRENS LIVES MATTER ?” Well ? DO THEY ?
That question also applies to those Christian adults cowardly murdered alongside the Children !
Why only 3 and 3? Why were those bodies there that time of day meaning if school was out why were they there. If it was earlier why not more bodies. And I’ve heard nothing of any family members mourning. Nothing. In fact compared to most shooting this hasn’t had much coverage but I bet there will be more violence over this.
We already know Dumbassocrats hate guns/gunowners/anyone who doesn’t walk the Lefty Line. But THIS manifesto might make interesting reading. Reckon?
Proof that these prople are unstable
Typical of democrats ! We will show you guns , bodies and crying kids and angry people but they won’t bring to light why someone they protect did such a horrible crime
Ok. First question, as this is a local matter why is the FBI involved? There is nothing to suggest any violation of federal law.
My expectations of a favorable Politico approval are slim to none….
Manipulation of the facts and evidence shows us just how determined and deranged the msm and a portion of our legal system has become…..politic before the truth is the aim of the left….
Hatred and evil, no matter where they originated, must be examined, the reasons understood, and appropriate measures taken to eliminate them. I had a long talk earlier today with a friend about these insidious efforts to affect how our children feel about their biological sex. Can anyone believe that a child, a boy or a girl, would ever think that or even conceive of the notion that their sex was wrong at birth? No. The very idea is inserted into these young formative minds by adults and this trans movement. Boy becomes girl – sex is still XY. Girl becomes boy – sex is still XX. The doctors, the parents, schools and the horrible social media and Hollywood elitists who are promoting this among our children need legal action taken against them. As a Baby Boomer, all during my school years, we recognized who we were and got along. If this is indeed the edge of violence by this group (trans) against Christians and conservatives it needs to be revealed. We already know how actively this group has been in corrupting the minds of our youngest children and it needs to stop.
I’ve just said this myself as a baby boomer. These people who manipulate young children need to be put in the locked wards.
You mean like organized religion.
No one should ever offend that 0.05% of the population who are trans.
They may not be releasing it as it has Dates and times of other attacks planned by ANTIFIA ahead of their ” Day of Violence ” plans. By not releasing it, any groups and their targets, that are mentioned , do not know just what was written, and go ahead with the planned attacks, just to show up to Law Enforcement waiting on them! It may even have the names of those supporting their movement and attacks. Only time will tell,, it may turn out that they are supported by someone or some Department within our Government, so It will be lost forever , just like Epstein’s black book
Or it gives them time to write make one up.
