Audrey Hale Was Undergoing Counseling With Nashville School Pastor Whose Daughter She killed
NY Post ^ | 03/31/23 | Stephanie Pagones

Posted on 03/30/2023 9:31:50 AM PDT by Enlightened1

One of the six victims killed by Nashville shooter Audrey Hale was the daughter of a pastor who was “providing counseling for her,” according to a recent report.

“Something didn’t sit right with her,” Jim Bachmann — the former pastor at The Covenant School which Hale stormed on Monday, killing six — told Inside Edition.

Bachmann described how Covenant Pastor Chad Scruggs, whose 9-year-old daughter, Hallie, was among those killed, had been Hale’s private counselor.

Transgender Hale arrived at The Covenant School around 9:54 a.m., blasted her way in through locked glass doors, and carried out a 14-minute killing spree that left three school children and three school staffers dead before she was shot by police.

Bachmann told Inside Edition Hale appeared to be searching for Scruggs in surveillance footage police have since released.

The video shows a heavily-armed Hale looking around as she stalked through empty hallways.

“If she had found Chad, if she had tried to kill him, maybe she would have left the daughter alone,” Bachmann speculated.

The reason why Scruggs was counseling Hale and how long he had been coaching her has not been revealed.

Prior to the attack, Hale sent several messages to a former classmate, telling the woman: “I’m planning to die today … You’ll probably hear about me on the news.”

Sounds like something a satanic tranny would do.

In this instance, counseling was a poor substitute for eugenics.

We’ve passed the point of co-existence.

Add personal grudges - not “guns”, to mental health issues among the things behind mass shootings. Can you legislate away the combination of personal grudges and mental health issues? No. If the “shooter” could not get a gun, might they use knives, homemade bombs or other weapons? Sure. So legislating the confiscation of guns will do what? Nada.

I’m struck speechless. Kill the 9-yr-old daughter of your counselor? This is beyond evil, I simply cannot comprehend it.

“... homemade bombs ...”

Largest murder of school children was done by a man with a grudge against the town and likely mentally ill.

Bath, Michigan 1927.

No firearms involved.

I point this out regularly to assholes that claim confiscating guns will stop the massacres.

More speculation on FR that the tranny shooter targeted the pastor’s daughter. I doubt it. The whole school locked down almost immediately. Shooter tried but could not get into any of the classrooms. Little girl just had the bad luck to be outside the perimeter.

This denomination of Presbyterianism (Presbyterian Church in America) will be in the gun sights of the extreme trans movement. This is a report of their stand on the trans movement against children and what they are urging the government to do about it (Fox report):

” A major Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. will consider a formal petition urging states and the federal government to ‘renounce the sin’ of permitting transgender procedures for minors.”

This is what the Stated Clerk (elected head of the denomination) has now said (Fox report):

“I would say there is a lot of concern in our churches about children particularly being urged to have hormonal and physical changes while they are yet minors that will become life-altering decisions for the rest of their lives,” Dr. Bryan Chapell, the stated clerk of the PCA, told Fox News Digital in an interview last week.”

There are no mentally stable trannies. Every single one of them should face involuntary commitment.

So, the perpetrator shot up a PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) school and the PCA has been discussing and will consider at its annual meeting an official statement urging governments to stop the sin of forcing transgenderism on children.

And the shooter attended the PCA school. Her family quite possibly were members of Covenant Presbyterian Church. The connection is apparent, and Senator Hawley is correct in calling this a hate crime. The shooter certainly was aware of the issue and possibly was aware of what the PCA is about to do.

A tragedy that the young girl was killed.

I’m curious to the nature of the counselling, however. Was it “you be you” or “you are sick and need help.”

“WE have a much higher % of crazies among us than we will ever admit.”

And proof is found merely by listing the sicko population of congress, the Biden administration, the media, and Hollywood.

I keep saying, save up your wood and iron, because we’re gonna need a hell of a lot of guillotines following CW-II.
