Nashville school shooter is pictured as his ramblings come to light

Before opening fire at Antioch High School, Solomon Henderson reportedly shared disturbing thoughts online that provide insight into his mindset.

The alleged 47-page manifesto contained details about the school’s layout, photos of the weapons he intended to use, and his motivations for carrying out the shooting.

His final writings were dated November 18, the same day the Metro Nashville Police Department received a call about a potential school shooting at Antioch High School, which was later confirmed to be a false report, as reported by News Channel 5.

‘I was so miserable. I wanted to kill myself. I just couldn’t take anymore. I am a worthless subhuman, a living, breathing disgrace,’ the 17-year-old gunman allegedly wrote.

‘All my [in real life] friends outgrew me, act like they didn’t f***ing know me. Becoming me was so f***ing humiliating. That’s why I spend all day dissociating.’

Much of the rest of the document, which was said to be linked to a social media account linked to Henderson, deals with his struggle with race and racial issues.

Henderson allegedly said that he was ‘ashamed to be black,’ before he goes on to use anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim language. He even apparently included a flyer for the Goyim Defense League, a neo-Nazi group that visited Nashville over the summer.

The manifesto also claims he was inspired by people like Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Kanye West and even Mr. Beast, and created a collage of other infamous shooters, including The Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale and would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks.

‘The difference between good and bad criminals depends on how well they were dressed. It depends on what weapon they used. It depends on their posture, their voice, their plan of attack,’ Henderson apparently mused.

‘It depends on how they carried it out. It depends on their height, their bone structure, their body fat percentage, their haircut. It depends on who their victim was.

‘Even the very worst of criminal acts are forgiven by simply looking good. Or cool. Or interesting in some way,’ he wrote, before listing his plans to get in better shape.

In a question-and-answer section of the document, Henderson noted that he did not plan to kill any law enforcement officers and did not consider himself a victim of bullying.

‘Personally in my life, I can’t remember a single instance of being bullied, at least not [conventionally],’ the manifesto says. ‘I was bullied in the culture sense, which everyone is bullied in.’

He then went on to share his thoughts about Antioch High School, just outside of Nashville, which has a majority of black and Hispanic students.

‘School is a daycare,’ he wrote. ‘It’s impossible for you to actually think. You say things because other people have said it before, then go repeat ad nauseum somewhere else.

‘In school, we’re taught to wake up early, shut up, sit for long periods of hours, do tasks you hate, then repeat.’

Henderson also claims the school is run by a Zionist government, as he denies the Holocaust.

‘Show them what a real schoolcaust looks like. Do it like a martyr,’ he encourages, noting: ‘Assassinating the “elites” will not happen without mass blood shed and killing civilians.’

Under the question, ‘What do you wish for,’ Henderson also said he wants a ‘better, neater, cleaner world by eliminating all undersireables.

‘We must aid the Aryans regardless of race.’

And under another header with the question, ‘What is the End Goal with all of this,’ Henderson allegedly wrote: ‘We’re gonna burn this entire world to the ground and rebuild from the beginning.’ 

He concludes by saying he plans ‘on going [out] AN HERO by blowing my brains with my gun while live streaming it,’ and offered advice to other would-be shooters, saying it is ‘important’ to film and photograph your attacks.

‘An image shows what we’re capable of, a video shows what it will look like, a livestream with a GoPro shows what it will feel like.’

Henderson even allegedly included links to other manifestos, a link on how to carry out a mass killing with targets ranked by how easy it would be to murder them, as well as photos of a handgun, a lockpicking kit and cartridges to load into a handgun he planned to use in the shooting.

The teen then arrived at the school on Wednesday from the bus, and entered a bathroom, where police believe he retrieved a weapon.  

He seen wearing a hoodie just after 11am, when he ‘confronted’ Josselin Corea Escalante, 16, and fired multiple rounds using a pistol, before he turned the gun on himself.

Another student was also injured with a graze wound to her arm, and was rushed to Vanderbilt University Hospital in stable condition.

Police also said a fourth boy was being treated for an injury to the face caused during the commotion, but they were not shot, Channel 5 reports.

The teen livestreamed the shooting online, and had written on his X page that he saved up enough money to buy a GoPro camera ‘but it was hard to explain to my parents why I needed it, so I couldn’t buy it,’ Raw Story reports. 

Nashville police have not yet confirmed whether the manifesto posted online was that of the school shooter, but Chief John Drake noted there were online materials that the police department is investigating. 

‘There are some materials on the Internet that we’re looking at, that’s under investigation,’ he said, according to The Tennessean.

‘We believe there’s some materials out there, and maybe they were seen,’ he continued, adding that if someone ‘said something, maybe more could have been done.’
