WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) – On Monday morning, Steven Crowder of the popular Louder with Crowder podcast shocked everyone by releasing pages from the manifesto that the Nashville school shooter is believed to have written before carrying out her attack.
According to the Post Millennial, the documents from the manifesto Crowder obtained demonstrate that shooter Audrey Hale was motivated by anti-white hatred and a sinister intent to carry out her attack at Covenant Catholic School due to her hatred that she called “white privilege”. Crowder’s reporting was soon censored by those at Meta (Facebook) and YouTube, who deleted his recent episode discussing the documents.
“We wanted to let you know our team reviewed your content, and we think it violates our violent criminal organization’s policy,” YouTube said after he aired the images of three handwritten pages of loose-leaf paper.
“We know you may not have realized this was a violation of our policies,” YouTube continued, “so we’re not applying a strike to your channel. However, we have removed the following content from YouTube: “
YouTube detailed its policy saying that “content that glorifies violent criminal organizations or incites violence is not allowed on YouTube.” They further claimed to review incidents of alleged violations on a “case-by-case basis.”
Crowder noted on Monday afternoon that Facebook was also refusing to allow people to share the story or images of the manifesto.
Hale was meticulously organizing the day of the shooting, as seen by the three handwritten page images reported by Crowder. On March 27, 2023, a day Hale called “death day,” she killed three school staff members and three students.
“There were several times I could have been caught, especially in the summer of 2021. None of that matters now; I’m almost an hour and 7 minutes away,” Hale continued.
Fox 17 in Nashville “confirmed through a source” that the photographs collected and shared by Steven Crowder on Monday morning “are authentic,” and at this time no one has come forward to claim or provide evidence that pages from Hale’s journal are not authentic.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department stated that “the photographs are not MNPD crime scene images” in a press release but did not comment further on the matter or provide any evidence of their own that disproves Crowder’s reporting.
Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell announced on Monday that he is launching an investigation into the leaked documents, which all but confirms their authenticity, saying, “I have directed Wally Dietz, Metro’s Law Director, to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released. That investigation may involve local, state, and federal authorities. I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving.”
