A Thread:

1/ Covenant Presbyterian Church and its church-run school, targeted in today's tragic shooting, are at the center of a complex child sexual abuse scandal from 2002-2012.

2/ A 2012 lawsuit alleges that defendants associated with Covenant, including Bachmann, Eades, Avery, and Robinson, were involved in concealing unlawful child sexual abuse by John Perry. The plaintiffs were unaware of the abuse until 2012. cases.justia.com/tennessee/cour…

3/ By 2015, two lawsuits alleged child sexual misconduct by Perry. During divorce proceedings, Perry's ex-wife claimed his "inappropriate marital conduct" led to their separation, also as reported by the Arkansas Times.

4/ John Perry was a prominent pastor who had co-authored several books with then Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee.

The church allegedly used Perry's home as a "safe house" (on the back of his “good reputation”) for children they believed were mistreated by their parents.

5/ This arrangement allowed the church to remove children from their homes and place them under Perry's care, raising serious concerns about the safety and protection of these vulnerable children in the hands of a confessed child molester.

6/ In June 2009, a family sought help from Attorney Larry Crain after being silenced for raising concerns about children's safety in Perry's "safe house." Crain later filed a $3M lawsuit against the person who reported the abuse while representing Perry.

7/ Additionally, the Davises sued Covenant Presbyterian Church and parishioner Dale Lewelling, accusing the church of covering up for confessed child molester John Perry and putting children in Perry's so-called "safe house."

8/ The family claims they were harassed, assaulted, and threatened for raising concerns about the church's concealment of child sexual abuse.

9/ Despite the scandal, local media in Nashville has not covered the stories involving John Perry, who admitted to sexually molesting his daughter in court.

10/Presbyterian Church Association was reportedly going to bring charges against Pastor Jim Bachmann of Covenant, another church member who was implicated in enabling the abuse. Yet, no one has been charged in connection with the child sexual abuse allegations and cover-up.

11/ This leads to the question, when females only commit 2% of all mass shootings and have only committed 4 of the 147 school shootings before this event, could this have been a carefully plotted vengeance mission?

12/Did Audrey Hale decide to partake in a tragic act of vigilante justice to try and bring attention to sexual crimes for which no one had ever been forced to pay for?

13/ The ages match up. Audrey, born around 1994, would have been an elementary – middle schooler sometime between 2002-2012 when the alleged abuse happened. Covenant Presbyterian taught kids from K-6th grade. Could Audrey have been a victim too?

14/ Below is a link to a document belonging to a database outlining the sequence of events of Covenant's sex crimes and cover-ups. It was compiled and created by a man attempting to expose Covenant for nearly a decade.

What are they trying to hide?

15/ As a disclaimer: This is in no way excusing the actions of Hale; in no way did anything that happened to her justify her actions, and that is not what this post is trying to excuse.

This post is attempting to dig into the facts surrounding a murky sequence of events.

16/ Another potential piece in the puzzle, Hale messaged her middle school basketball teammate on social media informing her she was going to die by suicide and:

“One day this will make more sense," Hale wrote. "I've left behind more than newschannel5.com/news/she-check…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

17/ Something that could disprove this theory is if covenant was actually secondary target and the undisclosed school was the primary target.

This is unless the undisclosed school in someway had a connection to the abuse scandal.

18/ Janespeaksup.com for that regional area eludes to multiple christian schools in that area, in that time period, having allegations of cover ups of sexual abuse.

But this is a less likely scenario IMO and wouldn't even be testable until the manifesto is public anyways.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

19/ As to why she would target kids when an adult would be the abuser: who knows. Anyone who would senselessly murder children and teachers isn't logical.

Crazy people don't think rationally. Plus, since she was a TIF, she likely was on Testosterone and other psych meds.

20/ Testosterone increases aggression and impulsivity, and who knows what comorbid conditions and/or antipsychotics, SSRIS, or uppers, she was on.

Crazy people don't think rationally.

21/ But this theory being true is neither favorable to the right or the left of the political spectrum obviously. The right wants it to be a hate crime (what I thought it was at first), the left wants it to be a fear induced downward spiral due to the alleged "trans genocide."

22/ I made this thread because when I looked Hale's and Covenant's background due to curiosity since female school shooters are so rare, I found the abuse lawsuits within minutes.

I thought it was strange that there were no news articles covering the potential connection.

23/ But in sum, only time and the manifesto will tell.

Here is the Jane website link for the specific region the school is in again for reference (it is also linked multiple times above)

What I looked like irl while digging through 20 year old court dockets researching for this thread:

So it looks like they’re gearing up to avoid releasing the manifesto *sigh*

It’s almost poetic.
