The alleged manifesto of the 15-year-old girl who shot and killed three people, including herself, at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, reveals she deeply hated people and celebrated killers. Natalie Rupnow, who was also known as Samatha, was identified as the main suspect in the shooting and was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot at the scene of the killings by police.
Her manifesto, entitled ‘War Against Humanity,’ was published on X by journalist Anna Slatz of Reduxx Magazine. It reveals a visceral hatred for human beings, whom Rupnow calls “filth.”
Rupnow states that she hates “whores and scum” most of all, saying, “You and your parents should be hanged in front of everyone.” She says black people are even worse, using racial slurs and saying, “Once you sleep with one, you are one.”
The manifesto also celebrates several other killers, including Pekka Eric Auvinen, who shot and killed eight people at a high school in Finland in 2007.
In a brief “introduction,” Rupnow states that she obtained the firearms “by lies and manipulation, and my father’s stupidity.” She adds that she planned the attack after planning to shoot herself “a while ago” but thought a single suicide was “boring.”
The manifesto does not appear to state why Rupnow chose to target Abundant Life Christian School, which educates around 390 students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
Madison police chief Shon Barnes stated that while authorities initially thought five people had been killed, they later revised that number to three. The two victims of Rupnow were a teenage student and a teacher.
Barnes also stated the weapon used was a 9mm pistol, and the initial police report of the shooting came from a child of just seven or eight years old.
