LINN: Another School Shooting, Another Manifesto

Op-Ed By Andrew Linn

Last March, a transman named Aidan Hale (formerly Audrey Hale) carried out a mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, killing three adults and three children before being shot to death by police. Hale, a former student at the Covenant School, had left behind a manifesto, in which he/she desired to kill whom he described as “crackers” and “faggots with white privileges”. Such language is odd considering crackers are considered to be poor people, and the unlikelihood of a Christian school being the school of choice for homosexuals, not to mention the fact that Hale was also white (I guess Hale went woke). And would a transman being bashing the kids if they were indeed homosexual?

And then last week another school shooting took place, and this time it took place at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. The perpetrator was a fifteen year-old girl named Natalie Lynn “Samantha” Rupnow. Rupnow, who was a student at the Abundant Life Christian School, killed a student and a
teacher before turning the gun on herself. She also wounded six people in the process.

And like Hale, Rupnow left a manifesto. Titled “War Against Humanity”, she wrote that she hated people and society, referred to her parents (who had gotten divorced) as “scum.” Rupnow also mentioned her desire to kill all males, even going so far as to say that “every single male must be wiped out, from babies to
the elderly.” She then added that “only then will women be free to create a new world.” She also added that carrying out the shooting would make her a pioneer, and that she was craving to kill them all. She also includes a racial slur when referring to the males on her list of people to kill- I wonder if the cancel culture will take notice of such bigotry.

At any rate, it appears Rupnow was hoping for women everywhere on Earth to kill every male individual on the planet (I wonder if that would include transgendered individuals). She then added that the elimination of men and boys would result in the world being clean and women being able to start over. Such an idea seems evident when she wrote about killing herself a long time ago but decided carrying out a school shooting would be “better for revolution rather than just one stupid boring suicide.”

Rupnow had an obsession with death and those who carried out mass shootings, including the Columbine High School shooters.

Thus, Rupnow was motivated by issues arising from her parents being divorced, being obsessed with death and violence, and harboring a hatred towards men, since she mentioned in her manifesto that men “can’t be redeemed or reformed.” But despite Rupnow’s motive being a combination of factors, leftists will renew
calls for gun control (while some of them have been praising the murder of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione). Perhaps they should take notice of an entry from Rupnow’s manifesto, which she wrote that she obtained the guns by “lies, manipulation, and my father’s stupidity.”

But odds are they will ignore the facts, as well as the motive.
