Should healthcare professionals have reported “trans” school-shooter-to-be Audrey Hale to authorities after she related experiencing suicidal and homicidal ideation? And they did know about these troubling developments, too, leaked documents show — years before her violent act.
What’s more, should Hale’s travails have raised extra alarms because, research shows, “trans” individuals are more likely to kill than be killed?
Whatever the case, the homicidal and suicidal ideation would both manifest as action. Hale would slaughter six people, including three nine-year-olds, at Covenant Christian School in Tennessee on March 27, 2023. She subsequently was killed by police in apparent suicide-by-cop.
Speaking of which, the healthcare professionals who didn’t report Hale apparently can’t be criminally charged under Tennessee law. (Only civil action is possible.) But the ex-cop who leaked the information about her has been criminally charged.
Coverups Breed Leaks
Of course, “The law is the law,” and leaking such information is illegal. The issue, though, is since Hale was a wokeness-favored perp, the truth behind her crime was suppressed from the get-go. For example, authorities endeavored to treat the “manifesto” she’d written like a top national security secret. This isn’t despite the fact that it offered insight into her motives, either, say critics, but because of it.
What, though, if the killer had been a white or Christian man targeting, respectively, non-white or “trans” victims? The manifesto would then fit “the narrative.” And consequently, it would’ve been released faster than a criminal in Larry Krasner’s Philadelphia, these observers quite tenably contend.
Yet with Hale’s manifesto, leaks were the primary way we learned of its contents. And, boy, what we learned was quite telling, as she’d expressed vile anti-Christian and anti-white hatred. She wrote, for example, “Wanna kill all you little crackers…. Bunch of little faggots w/ your white privlages [sic] f*** you faggots.” Hale also expressed a desire to “kill my own race” and “kill all the white children.”
“Being white sucks, but being black is so cool,” Hale further stated. “Black people should rule. White people should fall, every white person who lived and died. I hate you all.”
(My, ever wonder where she got all these anti-white ideas? It’s a complete mystery….)
Despite this, shocker of shockers, the Metro Nashville Police Department downplayed race as a factor.
The Leak at Issue
As for the leaks relating to what healthcare practitioners knew, and the arrest of the ex-cop, a relevant tweet follows.
Not surprisingly, this story has raised some eyebrows. For example, commentator Olivia Murray (who gets a hat tip for the above tweet) had some very strong feelings, writing:
Who knows how long Hale had been receiving mental health care by 2019, but that was four years before the shooting. Mental health “professionals” noticed Hale’s evident “anger” grow with “greater frequency,” and she admitted she had thoughts of killing herself and killing others — which is why I use air quotes to describe these people. What kind of “professionals” and “doctors” don’t alert law enforcement when they have an obviously sick and homicidal patient saying her only “escape” is death?
But what does the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation do though?
… Do they go after the drug companies making money off of Hale’s anguish to her detriment? You can’t take synthetic cross-sex hormones without suffering serious mental issues….
In fairness, Tennessee law apparently states that healthcare providers should take precautionary actions with a patient expressing dark sentiments only when there’s a “clearly identified victim.” Intent also appears necessary, and Hale denied having plans to hurt anyone.
We also don’t want “trigger happy” authorities who go to the other extreme. An example was Texas teen Justin Carter’s plight: He faced eight years’ imprisonment for making an obvious joke.
Moreover, it isn’t known whether Hale was on cross-sex hormones. But we do know that she was prescribed anti-depressant Lexapro and anti-anxiety drug buspirone, among other medications.
The Forest for the Trees
Perhaps, though, an exclusive focus on a particular case’s details misses the point. For larger lessons require examining larger issues. What would they be here?
First, mainstream media talk much about how Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS, or “trans”) individuals are imperiled by an intolerant society. In reality, however, they’re more likely to kill than be killed, according to a 2020 study. (Their small population is also overrepresented among pedophiles.) The point?
In our upside-down civilization, MUSS individuals are coddled and privileged. Hence the “social contagion” phenomenon whereby, for example, clusters of girls from the same school will claim opposite-sex status. You get more of what you incentivize.
Yet in truth, the manifestation of MUSS desires itself should be considered a serious red flag. And while I agree with pundit Andrea Widburg’s suspicion that a female given high-dose testosterone ends up with the emotionalism of a woman and the aggression of a man, this red flag should be heeded even absent hormonal interventions. Because as the aforementioned study — and, anecdotally, the below video — attests, anger and hostility correlate with MUSS identities.
“Trendy” Disabilities
In fact, psychological “disabilities” in general not only have been de-stigmatized, but are actually trendy among an American population segment. For claiming one makes you part of an identity group that receives praise and preference. (Thus was the DEI-obsessed Federal Aviation Administration looking for candidates with “psychiatric disability.”)
It also grants you access to legalized mind-altering drugs. As to this, an estimated 16-20 percent of our population, and 20-25 percent of women, are on psychotropic medication.
It all underlines how, given religious people’s better mental health, we today should prescribe drugs less and the Deity more. All of it also, however, raises a question.
Will we see any of those red flags when even the disturbed may now be accommodatingly labeled “neurodivergent”?
