In the hours leading up to his attack on Antioch High School, Solomon Henderson, the 17-year-old gunman, reportedly posted a disturbing 47-page manifesto online.
This document, which was allegedly linked to his social media account, offers a chilling look into his troubled mind and the reasons behind his deadly intentions.
The manifesto included detailed maps of the school, photos of weapons, and descriptions of his thoughts leading up to the tragic event.
His final writings were posted just hours before the police received a hoax call about a shooting at the school on November 18.
Deep Struggles with Personal Identity and Race
In his manifesto, Henderson described feelings of extreme loneliness and self-loathing, stating he was “miserable” and “a worthless subhuman.”
He mentioned his disillusionment with friends who had seemingly outgrown him, expressing that he felt disconnected and humiliated.
Much of the manifesto reflects his struggle with race, as he described feeling “ashamed to be black” and used hateful language toward various groups, including Jews and Muslims.
Henderson even linked his ideology to far-right figures and movements, such as Candace Owens, Kanye West, and the neo-Nazi Goyim Defense League.
Bizarre Reflections on Criminality and Violence
As Henderson delved deeper into his twisted mindset, he expressed warped thoughts about the nature of criminality.
He claimed that the difference between good and bad criminals depended on how well they were dressed, the weapons they used, and even their physical appearance.
He seemed obsessed with the idea of “looking cool” or “interesting” while carrying out horrific acts.
In one disturbing section, he emphasized the importance of “looking good” as a way to be forgiven for the most heinous crimes.
Plans for Destruction and Chaos
The manifesto revealed Henderson’s detailed plans for destruction, as he stated his desire to “burn this entire world to the ground and rebuild from the beginning.”
He expressed his goal of creating a “neater, cleaner world” by eliminating those he deemed undesirable, calling for the aid of Aryans regardless of race.
He even fantasized about martyrdom, referring to his planned actions as a form of sacrifice.
His writings included chilling advice to other potential shooters, urging them to film and livestream their attacks to showcase their power.
Tragic Event Unfolds at Antioch High School
Henderson’s twisted thoughts culminated in a terrifying attack at Antioch High School.
On the morning of the shooting, he arrived at the school and, after allegedly retrieving a weapon from a bathroom, confronted 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante.
Henderson fired multiple rounds before turning the gun on himself.
A second student was injured by a graze wound and taken to the hospital in stable condition.
A fourth boy was treated for a facial injury caused during the chaos but was not shot.
The shooting was livestreamed, with Henderson mentioning in his manifesto his desire to capture the horrific event on camera.
Investigation Underway as Police Scrutinize Online Materials
While Nashville police have not officially confirmed whether the manifesto belongs to Henderson, Chief John Drake stated that they are investigating the online materials related to the attack.
He noted that if more had been done with the information available, the tragedy might have been prevented.
The manifesto has raised questions about the accessibility of violent ideologies online and the potential for warning signs to be overlooked.
This tragic event at Antioch High School has left many questioning how such a disturbed individual was able to go unnoticed and what can be done to prevent similar attacks in the future.
