The shooter in the horrific Christian school shooting that took place on Monday in Madison, Wisconsin has been identified as 15-year-old Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, making this the second time in recent history that we’ve had a female assailant in one of these incidents. A document that is believed to be Rupnow’s manifesto contains many un-Christian beliefs. Rupnow was a student at Abundant Life Christian School, where the incident took place.
A new report from The Western Journal, “No motive has been established for the Abundant Life Christian School shooting that left a teacher, student, and the killer dead. But if the manifesto is authentic, the shooter dripped with hatred for humanity.”

I think it’s safe to say we have both a mental health and spiritual crisis in this country. And is it any wonder? You have schools and popular culture normalizing sexual confusion and deviancy, convincing kids they are the opposite gender and encouraging them to lob off body parts and inject hormones in order to fulfill their delusions.
Reports have stated that the document has not yet, as of this writing, been verified as belonging to Rupnow, as some are saying it was in some way connected with the young girl’s boyfriend.
Besides numerous criticisms of “my father” and “my mother,” the deeply disturbed document — titled “War Against Humanity” — contains paeans to international killers, frankly racist language, and a loathing for human beings.
“Humanity is filth and I don’t like filth nor want to live in it nor should anyone else and I know it follows me and how it has followed me and will follow everyone else because of how the world is runned,” it stated on its first page.
“I am part of the real thought and the real revolution,” it stated on the second page.
Another page extolled the actions of three attackers — one in Finland, who killed eight in a 2007 school shooting, one who killed 19 at a vocational college in Russian-occupied Crimea in 2018, and a Turkish neo-Nazi who wounded seven in a knife attack at a tea house in August.
The author of the manifesto then heaps praise on the three individuals, referring to Turk as the “Ultimate saint.” Pretty sick and twisted stuff. This is what I mean when I say there’s a spiritual crisis happening in this country as well. Twice these shootings have taken place in Christian schools at the hands of a student and former student respectively. Mainstream media outlets have repeatedly pushed narratives that make Christians and Jesus look like they are intolerant, wicked, and evil. With that message shoved down people’s throats, is it any wonder a person like Rupnow lashes out at who she blames for her problems?
On the fourth page, the manifesto’s author wrote, “I got the weapons by lies, and manipulation and my fathers stupidity.” “I planned on shooting myself a while ago but thought maybe its better for evolution rather than just one stupid boring suicide which hopefully ill reach that point.”
As if to drive home the point of despising humans, the manifesto ended with a quote from Theodore Kaczynski, the so-called Unabomber who waged a 17-year campaign of terror against innocent victims that included extorting major news organizations into publishing his own densely written manifesto of madness. “Finally, one learns that boredom is a disease of civilization,” the manifesto stated, with the text in bold. The quote is from a 1999 interview Kaczynski gave to the Blackfoot Valley (Montana) Dispatch.
Strangely, Luigi Mangione, the UnitedHealthcare assassin, also idolized Kaczynski, who killed himself in prison in June 2023.

It was unclear how long Rupnow had attended Abundant Life, but she was not happy there. A line on the final page of the manifesto indicated that she had “moved schools,” but “what’s already happening? Picked on again, just not any worse.”
Shon Barnes, the Madison Police Chief, revealed that Rupnow’s parents are fully cooperating in the investigation and are not expected to face any charges.
