The shooter said she wanted to “kill those kids” and referred to them as “those crackers,” a racial slur aimed at white people. She made reference to their “mop yellow hair” and their “white privileges."

The transgender-identifying shooter responsible for murdering six people at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, wrote a manifesto expressing anti-white sentiments and laying out a schedule of the attack, according to excerpts of the document leaked to Louder with Crowder.

 

The shooter, an alumna of the Covenant School in Nashville and a woman who identified as a man, murdered three nine-year-old children and three adult staff members in March of this year. Officials in the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department initially said they would reveal details about the massacre and the shooter’s motivations but have not released the manifesto.

 

 

Louder with Crowder, the online show hosted by conservative commentator Steven Crowder, released three leaked pages of the manifesto on Monday. The shooter said she wanted to “kill those kids” and referred to them as “those crackers,” a racial slur aimed at white people. She made reference to their “mop yellow hair” and their “white privileges,” as well as their wealth as exhibited by “daddies mustangs and convertables,” in one expletive-laced page.

 

 

“Today is the day. The day has finally come! I can’t believe it’s here,” the shooter wrote on one of the leaked pages, saying that she was “a little nervous, but excited too.” She offered a short prayer at the bottom of the page: “God let my wrath take over my anxiety.”

 

The Covenant School is associated with Covenant Presbyterian Church, a congregation in a conservative evangelical denomination called the Presbyterian Church of America. The students murdered in the shooting were identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus, William Kinney, and Hallie Scruggs, the daughter of Covenant Presbyterian Church senior minister Chad Scruggs. Katherine Koonce, the school’s principal, was also killed, as were Cynthia Peak, a substitute teacher, and Mike Hill, a custodian.

 

 

Legal battles have ensued as interest groups seek the release of the manifesto: one judge recently denied a public records request for the document filed by the National Police Association.

 

Parents at the Covenant School have opposed the release of the manifesto, contending that there could be no benefit to the publication of the “dangerous and harmful writings of a mentally-damaged person.” Several parents at the Covenant School also launched a lobbying entity which unsuccessfully attempted to pass a red flag law in the state of Tennessee.
