Okay. This is proof positive that all the Powerline boys… are faux grievance seekers, almost exclusively.

Billingsley tonight complains that a capable Nashville trial judge has ruled that any copyright embedded in “manifestos” of serial killers or mass school shooters… belongs to the families of the dead victims. [Billingsley apparently — and in a preposterously depraved fashion, thinks he has a right to it.]

Now, on top of that, in this case, Billingsley thinks he has a right to ID the children who were the victims, even though the families asked that their names not be released.

But because the profoundly mentally ill shooter had also experienced gender dysphoria… Lloyd thinks he has an intellectual property right, both to the manifesto, and the kid victims’ stories.

What an entitled, hateful snob. His “rights” are only important to him, if he can further a hate agenda with them.

The families have decided not to release the manifesto. That is their call — not Powerline’s. The FBI has determined there is no ongoing threat to the public in the dead shooter’s manifesto (wholly unlike Matthew Hale’s — and the World Church of the Creator writings, circa 1999).

Damn Lloyd… grow up.

And stop abusing the families that fell victim to unspeakable violent crime. [It is by no means “suppressing evidence” by the FBI, as Billingsley stupidly claims — where there will be no trial. The shooter is dead and buried; no trial… no need for evidence. Period.]

You. Are. A. Loser.
