Now and then I have expressed some skepticism about why the Covenant School Shooter's writings were never released. To this day, they have not been officially made public. But one journal's worth was given to the Tennessee Star. It's 90 pages, and I'm on page 68. I honestly don't know why anyone cared if these writings were released.
CAUTION: It is not something I would suggest anyone read if they struggle with self-harm issues. Every page is a risk.
That being said, I'm including the link, but I can't honestly say there's a lot of value to be found in these writings. Hale was just a person hurting badly who decided to direct that pain to destruction of other people's lives.

Sixty-six Tennessee #Republicans seek the release of #MassShooter Aiden Hale's #manifesto.
#CovenantSchool sued to prevent its release as it contains the layout of the school and confidential information about its employees.
House #Republican Caucus Chairman, Jeremy Faison, told the New York Post his group doesn't "understand the apprehension".
Predictably, #mainstream #media continues sowing confusion by misgendering and deadnaming the shooter, who is a #trans man.

"‘Mommy, What If I Die When I Go Back to School?’
Mary Joyce's daughter witnessed the unspeakable. “The day after the children were murdered at the school, grief therapists passed out ‘Feelings Cards‘ with faces on them to help the children identify what they were feeling,” she recalled. “My nine-year-old daughter, Monroe, who saw the shooter, the barrel of the AR-15, and her friend get hit and die, chose the ‘Proud’ card. Puzzled, I asked her why she chose that card. She told me that she chose it because she was proud that she managed to sit so still and not make noise so the shooter wouldn’t see her. She is nine years old.” "
I have no words.

The Atlantic Ocean. UK to US is about 3000 miles.
My question to the #Church in the UK is, how wide does the road have to be before it's ok to walk by on the other side?

Mother of child at #CovenantSchool gives a heart-wrenching speech recounting the morning of March 27.
She takes the audience inside the shattered calm of the morning, the pre-school text loop repurposed into survivor-search mode and trauma processing, the family reunification chapel rent by the scream of a mother whose child isn't coming back.
Moral Monday protest takes on gun legislation at the #Tennessee State Capitol.
Three weeks after the #CovenantSchool shooting, Tennessee Republicans are preparing to vote on a new law to arm teachers.
Around a thousand marchers, led by Rev. Barber have processed with coffins to Legislative Plaza.
