Despite the tragedy, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not issued a statement, nor confirmed whether the incident is a hate crime. This is surprising, given the department&#8217;s previous statements on mass shootings. For instance, in response to a shooting at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school, the DOJ condemned the &#8220;act of unspeakable violence,&#8221; promising to investigate the matter as a hate crime. The DOJ also issued a similar statement when a gunman killed 10 people at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-8725525\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, despite the evidence indicating that the Nashville shooting was a &#8220;targeted attack&#8221; and &#8220;premeditated&#8221; hate crime against Christians, the DOJ has declined to comment on the matter. Tennessee already passed a law protecting minors from transgender surgeries and chemical castration, which received backlash from transgender activists. Shortly after, a &#8220;Trans Day of Vengeance&#8221; was planned to occur in Washington, D.C., and online. Moreover, Audrey Hale was a former student of the school and had a &#8220;manifesto&#8221; delineating the details of her plan. Yet, the DOJ remains adamant about not investigating the incident and ensuring justice for the families of The Covenant School. <\/p>\n<p>Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri has written a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, urging an investigation into the shooting as a federal hate crime. \u201cFederal law explicitly criminalizes acts of violence against individuals based on religious affiliation as hate crimes,&#8221; he wrote, noting that police reports refer to the attack as &#8220;targeted&#8221; towards Christians. <\/p>\n<p>When shooters&#8217; ideologies correspond to far-right groups, the DOJ exhibits no hesitation in acknowledging the culprits&#8217; motives. For instance, when a gunman killed five people at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, the Justice Department promised to \u201creview all available facts of the incident to determine what federal response is warranted\u201d \u2014 something it won&#8217;t do in Nashville. Similarly, Dylann Roof, a man who killed nine people at a black church in South Carolina, was prosecuted by the DOJ for hate crimes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s concerning that even now, the DOJ refuses to acknowledge this incident as a hate crime and continues to avoid discussing the details surrounding the matter. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-239f574b1adfec5969a4dac1a548d2f1 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-239f574b1adfec5969a4dac1a548d2f1\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been 17 hours since Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old woman who identified as transgender, shot her way into a Christian grade school and killed six people, including three 9-year-olds \u2014 but the Department of Justice doesn\u2019t seem to care.
