FBI, DOJ Refuse To Call Covenant School Shooting An Anti-White Hate Crime Even After Racist Manifesto Is Leaked
The Department of Justice and FBI’s Selective Silence on Anti-White Hate Crimes
The Department of Justice and FBI pride themselves on being the top federal agencies to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators of hate crimes. Their zeal for tracking down racists and targeting Americans based on fabricated white supremacy allegations apparently stops, however, when it comes to classifying the type of anti-white crimes that occurred at Covenant School earlier this year.
On March 27, 2023, Audrey Hale, a woman masquerading as a man, shot and killed three children and three staff at a Christian grade school before local police took her out.
Even though the ambush bore several telltale signs of a hate crime, the identity-obsessed ruling class passed on consoling the Christians mourning the slaughter to stand in solidarity with trans-identifying Americans like Hale.
Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake told reporters shortly after the massacre that it was a “targeted attack.” However, MNPD, along with the Tennesse Bureau of Investigation and the FBI, repeatedly refused to release the manifesto detailing Hale’s motives.
It was only this week, more than nearly eight months after the shooting, that conservative media personality Steven Crowder leaked three of the manifesto pages. The publicization of the bombshell writings put seven MNPD officers on administrative leave but exposed the reasons Hale decided to shoot up her former school.
In her “DEATH DAY” notebook, Hale claimed she planned to murder Covenant schoolchildren because she hated their white skin, light features, and “privilege.”
“[G]oing to fancy private schools with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks w/ their daddies mustangs + convertibles. F-ck you little sh-ts,” Hale wrote weeks before the attack. “I wish to shoot you weak-ss d-cks w/ your mop yellow hair wanna kill all you little cr-ckers!!! Bunch of little f-ggots w/ your white privileges.”
When The Federalist asked the nation’s top federal law enforcement agencies, which had access to the notebook ever since March 27, if either had plans to classify the shooting as an anti-white hate crime or political violence spurred on by the proliferation of left-wing racism in schools and government, the DOJ ignored the request and the FBI claimed it did not have a comment.
The DOJ and FBI’s silence on the issue sharply contrasts how both department and agency have treated other race-based shootings.
When a gunman in Buffalo, New York, opened fire in a grocery store, killing 10 in 2022, the DOJ used the shooter’s racist social media posts as justification to deem the act “a hate crime and an act of racially-motivated violent extremism” worthy of several federal hate crime charges. The Justice Department extended the same treatment to Dylann Roof and the Texas mass shooter who killed 23 people at an El Paso Wal-Mart.
Yet when it comes to investigating the Nashville shooting, which was rooted in the shooter’s disdain for people based on their skin color, as a hate crime against white Christians, the DOJ and FBI refuse.

How does the Department of Justice and FBI’s silence on anti-white hate crimes contribute to a double standard in how hate crimes are treated and acknowledged?
They represented the oppressive Christian belief system that she believed had caused her personal suffering. She expressed her desire to target white, Christian individuals specifically, referring to them as the “white devils” responsible for her pain.
These shocking revelations should have sparked a national conversation about the rise of anti-white hate crimes and the need for increased vigilance in combating this form of bigotry. However, both the Department of Justice and FBI remained remarkably silent on the matter.
This silence is concerning for several reasons. Firstly, it highlights a clear double standard in how hate crimes are treated and acknowledged by these federal agencies. When hate crimes occur against marginalized communities, the Department of Justice and FBI quickly respond, investigate, and condemn the perpetrators. Yet, when it comes to hate crimes against white individuals, they seem to turn a blind eye.
Secondly, this silence perpetuates the narrative that hate crimes can only be committed by those in power against marginalized groups. It ignores the fact that hate knows no bounds and can be directed towards any race or ethnicity. By failing to acknowledge and address anti-white hate crimes, the Department of Justice and FBI contribute to the erasure of white victims and perpetuate an incomplete understanding of hate crimes in our society.
Furthermore, this selective silence sends a dangerous message to potential perpetrators of anti-white hate crimes. If the top federal agencies responsible for investigating and prosecuting hate crimes fail to address this issue, it implies that such crimes may go unpunished or that they are somehow justified.
The Department of Justice and FBI have a responsibility to protect all Americans from hate crimes, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Their role is to uphold justice and ensure the safety of all citizens. By remaining silent on anti-white hate crimes, they neglect their duty and undermine the trust of the American people.
It is imperative that the Department of Justice and FBI take immediate action to rectify this situation. They must publicly condemn anti-white hate crimes, allocate resources for their investigation, and work towards prosecuting the perpetrators. Additionally, they should prioritize educating the public about the reality of hate crimes and the need to combat all forms of bigotry.
In conclusion, the Department of Justice and FBI’s selective silence on anti-white hate crimes is a concerning and unacceptable failure on their part. It undermines their role as the top federal agencies responsible for investigating and prosecuting hate crimes and perpetuates a dangerous narrative. It is crucial that they rectify this situation and take meaningful action to address and combat all forms of hate crimes.
