With the recent revelations in Nashville transgender shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto, hopefully, the country will have a renewed focus on the mental illnesses involved in violent acts like this and the effects of psychiatric drugs as “treatment.” As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hale, 28, had two decades as a psychiatric patient at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center with at least five mental illness diagnoses and was treated with numerous drugs that could be responsible for the shooter’s deadly thoughts. And the FBI’s Behavioral Threat Assessment Center is withholding these medical records from the public:
Report: Billions in Funding at Risk If Audrey Hale’s Mental Health Records Are Released to Public
Still, leftist politicians and their media hacks will perpetuate the narrative that guns are responsible for deranged homicidal actions while continuing to pour billions of dollars into mental health treatments and drugs. It is currently unknown what role mental illness and drugs played in the Georgia shooter's actions.
The FBI issued a statement on this shooting, saying, "FBI Atlanta is aware of the current situation at Apalachee High School in Barrow County. Our agents are on scene coordinating with and supporting local law enforcement," per Fox Atlanta.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded to the news asking America to join her in praying for all students and staff.
Please join me in prayer for all the students, staff, and families at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga.
There has been a school shooting and reports of multiple injuries are being reported.
