More families of Covenant School shooting victims file petition to keep shooter’s writings private​

Releasing the shooter’s so called “manifesto” would have psychological consequences for the survivors and their families, according to the documents.


On Tuesday, Marquita Oglesby, the daughter of Covenant shooting victim Mike Hill, said in a court petition, “It sickens us to have to write a letter to explain why someone who chose to be voiceless does not deserve to be heard. The most devastating part of this is that the memories of the six lives lost have been diminished and minimized while every thought, drawing, doodle, and action of the shooter is made more relevant by every person who wants to decipher them.”
Petitioners who want the writings released maintain the documents are a matter of public records and request the Tennessee Constitution grant public access to the records in a brief filed last week.

It's a Crime
The investigation is paid for by the Public, and the results can be FOIAd

We're supposed to live in a free country. It should be allowed to be viewed by anyone that wants to see it. The problem is that the media keeps focusing on these mentally unstable individuals that commit theses crimes and it makes them famous. Then someone else cones along and copies them. While they have the right to publish whatever they want the media needs to stop saying the shooters name and stop publishing background info so other sick individuals can look it up and fantasize.

I understand their concerns. The more attention that is paid to these nutjobs the more likely another person will get the same idea.

However the public has a right to know what the motivation for this nutjob was and in particular if she/it was driven by others in the transgender community. The left does not want this manifesto released because they are afraid of what it contains.

Oh my... The words and writings might serve as triggers for the safe room generation!

why someone who chose to be voiceless does not deserve to be heard.

The existence of a manifesto means the shooter was not choosing to be voiceless.

the memories of the six lives lost have been diminished and minimized

No, actually they have not. Their lives are being honored by people trying to find out why someone turned nut-job and killed them, so others don't have to feel that pain.

Releasing the shooter’s so called “manifesto” would have psychological consequences for the survivors and their families

Not releasing the manifesto is having even greater psychological consequences for anyone with school-aged children. They have no idea why this nut-job did the deed, and so have no way of knowing if it will happen in their child's school.


All of this is simply a desperate attempt by those who seek to "normalize" mental illness by covering up heinous crimes.
