Fox News host Tomi Lahren went on an angry tirade to demand the supposed “manifesto” of the Nashville shooter be released, but she ignored the grieving parents of the dead students (from the Covenant School) who do not want it released, reported WKRN in May:
In a legal filing obtained by News 2, parents of students who attend The Covenant School urge the court to not release the shooter’s writings to the public…. In the 18-page document, the parents explain they don’t want any of the shooter’s writings or documents to be released, nor do they want any photos or information of the children themselves released. “There is no compelling state interest in giving voice to a horrendous criminal,” the parents’ attorneys wrote in the documents.
Many of the moms of dead students are lobbying to have stricter gun control laws in Tennessee, but are being ignored by the Republican-controlled legislature, reports Church Leaders:
The Covenant School mothers, who’ve spent hours at Tennessee’s capitol, emphasized that “some of our friends will never see their children again” because of gun violence. Mary Joyce, a school parent, said students “are really struggling, and it’s hard for them to talk about” the shooting. “To everyone else, you’ve moved on,” she said, but “we are still in the trenches of this trauma.”
…Becky Hansen said her young son and his Covenant School classmates still experience panic attacks and “horrible nightmares” from the shooting. Through her lobbying work, she said, “It has been clear to me that several of these elected officials are not here to serve the people of Tennessee. They are here to serve themselves and to try and improve and increase their own power, not to do what is best for the people, and that is incredibly discouraging after all that we have been through.”
