^ That's it, the entire ABC story. 

Times Free Press (July 5, 2024): Judge says Nashville school shooter's writings can't be released as victims' families have copyright.

Chancery Court Judge I'Ashea Myles found that The Covenant School children and parents hold the copyright to any writings or other works created by shooter Audrey Hale, a former student who was killed by police. Hale's parents inherited the works and then transferred ownership to the families.

Myles ruled that "the original writings, journals, art, photos and videos created by Hale" are subject to an exception to the Tennessee Public Records Act created by the federal Copyright Act.

Daily Signal: Trans Nashville Shooter Allegedly Wrote Scathingly About Christians, Fantasized About ‘Imaginary Penis’.

Newly released pages purportedly from the Nashville Covenant School shooter’s manifesto indicate that the shooter was strongly fixated on gender ideology and deeply held anger against Christianity.
[.]
[...] shooter Audrey Hale condemns her parents, harshly criticizes Christians, and fantasizes about her “imaginary penis.” The pages come after months of stonewalling from authorities, who refused to confirm or deny a previous set of manifesto pages commentator Steven Crowder released in November.

I'Ashea L. Myles profile.

This manifesto would've been released and published in a New York second had the shooter been a white male, targeted a different religion or was anti-trans/"transphobic".

When you SEE what lengths they will go to to hide information from us that we should have, do you Wonder about Allll those Classified documents that We can't see? How many are classified because of national security issues and how many are classified because it would expose wrongdoing if we could see it?

Justin_O_Guy , Yes. Both valid questions that the public deserves answers. How many would be exposed for wrongdoing is the real kicker. It'd be nice knowing who they are.
