Why hasn't the Nashville school shooter's manifesto been released like all of the others?

    The bureau has not given an official reason why THIS particular manifesto has not been released. Since that information has not been divulged (which you know) there is NO answer to the question you are asking because it has NEVER been held back this long. Some folks might take the bait but I can smell this stuff miles away!

    Personally I think we should have a complete news blackout on mass shooters, their reason and "manifestos".

    Stop giving these pieces of human trash a spotlight. All it does is resonate their message usually, and give them followers who will copy cat them.


    There is a reason we dont show the morons who run out onto the field during sporting events.

    These people should be handled in exactly the same fashion.

    There's certainly an argument to be made for covering up the manifestos of mass murderers- to prevent copycats. But since that hasn't been the policy of the DOJ, its unlikely thats their policy now. The far more likely reason is that the manifesto ties an establishment narrative inconveniently to violence.

    Different compared to what exactly? Are there any examples of cases where the authorities held documentation relating to a major incident like this and have simply released it to the public?

    My question has nothing to do with "left" or "right", whether this kind of thing should be released or not or even whether there are any political motivations behind decisions in this or any other case. I'm just asking for some simple factual context in which these questions can be addressed.

    On pretty much any topic, if you have more answers than you have questions, you're not asking enough questions. :cool:

    Sure, if they do that for ALL shootings. I'm not sure either side wants to give up their leverage to be able to use these events for politics. I'm fine with either way, as long as the same rules apply to ALL of them.
    BTW, your sig is awesome! Even as a Trump guy it gave me a good laugh.

    Either this is the first mass shooter in the past few years to have not put it out to the public themselves first, or I just suck at internet searching
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_manifestos_of_mass_killers
    I gave it an honest try, even used 2 different search engines.

    It’s called critical thinking. Fresh out of it are you?

    Well, the first high profile incident where the existence of a "manifesto" has become public knowledge but it's contents haven't (yet). I'm sure there are lot of smaller-scale multiple-shootings where there is some kind of document left behind but that never becomes public (especially if that document is effectively also a suicide note).

    Do you now accept that the accusation this specific example is being treated differently is, at best totally unsupported by any factual evidence, let alone for any assumptions about reasons or motives?

    Let Occam be a guide in this analysis. The most simple solution is usually the correct answer.

    In this case the government is hiding the manifesto because the government has something to hide. As we learned from the Twitter Files, the federal government devotes enormous energy to controlling the narrative and thus the public perceptions. The manifesto would reveal things that contradict the government narrative.

    There has been murders of lesser scale that had manifestos released to the public. I think that in and of it’s own is “factual evidence” of the intentional withholding of the manifesto. Specially a case with this much public interest. No where will you find a manifesto not being released with this much public interest.

    They release the manifestos of 'the bad guys' in the numerous false flag staged events of this nature, BECAUSE the manifesto will become a crucial part of the official narrative. The best example IMO is the stuff Atta left behind in his rental car in Maine. 911 was an inside job, and the purpose of his manifesto was to defame muslims.

    The shooting in Nashville was not an inside job.

    I accept "unsupported by factual evidence" (i already sort of admitted failure to produce this in my last response), I don't except that it would be held back this long if a Christian shot up a trans community center. I think in that case it would have been released within less than a week.

    That’s no reason to withhold the manifesto.

    Have there? You've still not even tried to provide even one example of an official release of such documentation outside it being evidence in a court case.

    Sure, don't let a complete lack of evidence stop a good conspiracy theory. :cool:

    This opens up a fantastic opportunity for another conspiracy theory. Lots of possibilities for assigning blame here. CRT, wokeness, Hunter, ANTIFA, Soros, deep state, weaponization of NPD, Hillary, immigrants, Al Sharpton, .............

    Easy question to answer. The left and their lefty MSM don't want to call attention to the trannies, putting their lives at risk.

    You really put that in the category of "conspiracy"? do you truly think it would be handled exactly the same if the ideologies were reversed? If so then sorry, don't believe you!

    I don't remember any manifesto that. has been released by any mass killer recently.
    I don't doubt that they have been released but can't think of any recent examples that have been widely published, can you?

    Thanks,

    Agreed.

    I'm not asking about what you (or I) believe but about what there is evidence for. You're entitled to believe whatever you want but you have absolutely zero reason to do so beyond your apparent personal bias. I'm not claiming to know what would happen in any hypothetical situation.

    He posted that online himself, after his attacks but before he was tracked down and killed.

    We all know why. Resident Leftists just don't want to say it. Same way when a white person shoots or attacks a black person its national news in minutes and the MSM keeps it in the cycle for as long as possible. Headlines read quite differently depending who the attacker is. Like clockwork. When its reversed, its mostly buried, after the initial mostly hidden report. Not hearing much about that woman beat up by a mob or the crazy mass shooter who tried to kill a bunch of people over a ball. Wonder why?

    Interesting, you are correct. But he’s not the last example I had. There is also Jim David Adkisson
