Hendersonism
Hendersonism refers to the ideology of Solomon Henderson, the mentally ill school shooter who committed atrocities at
Antioch High School. He holds
accelerationist,
white nationalist (despite being

neo-Nazi views, and has an obsession with other school shooters, which he admires.
Henderson has connections to many
extremist platforms, which includes
Soyjack.party,
Terrorgram, and the infamous
764. He has left behind a 288-page digital diary and various social media posts, all filled with hateful, mentally ill and extremist content. He also is interested in gore and
child porn
.
History & Life
Solomon Sahmad Charlie Henderson was born to a middle-class family on March 23, 2007. Solomon claims that his family was of the
Black Hebrew Israelites. Solomon also claims that his mom was abusing him for long as he can remember, even pointing a gun to his head when he was seven to nine-years-old, and his dad refuses to help. Solomon struggled to make friends and were rejected often, so he copes by saying that it's easier and better to be hated, stating
โโI haven't had any real friends since 7th grade. I don't want to be loved, I wanted to be hated by all. It's the only real emotion.

Henderson found comfort in the extremist,
trangressivist
white nationalist circles of the online community, with his fellow edgy teens who all praise school shooters like gods.
Solomon Henderson was arrested in November 2023 for
aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. Henderson was in court the morning of 22 January 2025 for a probation violation. He was then dropped off at
Antioch High School by his mother shortly afterward.
Antioch Shooting
Solomon Henderson went into a school restroom and is believed to have retrieved a weapon there. The handgun was reported to be a 9mm Taurus G2C semi-automatic pistol. The shooting began at 11:09 a.m. (CST) when Henderson confronted 16-year-old female student
Josselin Corea Escalante in the cafeteria and killed her with his handgun. Henderson then fired several more shots then proceeded to shoot himself in the head with the same handgun.
Henderson seems to have attempted to livestream his attack on
Kick, but the livestream cut out. The butt of a gun is visible at the end of his first stream, which was filmed from the POV of the shooter walking around the inside of the school. During the second livestream, which is audio only via a cellphone, law enforcement can be overheard speaking to witnesses at the scene for several minutes, until an officer picks up the phone and cuts the stream.
Two injuries occurred; one caused by being grazed by a bullet and another facial injury following a fall. Both of the injured were students. 10 shots in total were fired during the shooting within 17 seconds. Two magazines were recovered, the one inserted having nine 9mm rounds inside and the other having seven.
The gun used in the shooting was obtained legally in
Arizona in 2022 and had never been reported as stolen. Two school resource officers were in the school building but were not in the cafeteria at the time of the shooting. The school did not have metal detectors.
Beliefs
Solomon Henderson was fueled by violent
misanthropic views,
anti-Black hate and hateful
extremist beliefs including
inceldom and
antisemitism. He subscribed to broad
accelerationist beliefs, which hold that society is irrevocably broken and must be destroyed to be rebuilt, and lauded numerous past school shooters and mass killers, including
Natalie Rupnow whom he had connections with. Henderson cited
Candace Owens as his primary influence.
Writings
Henderson left various pieces of his writings and social media posts. Henderson praised various school shooters in his writings, along with
antisemitic and
racist views. A 288-page digital diary attributed to Henderson, The West Has Fallen โ Billions Must Die โ Accelerate., expressed a desire to kill people and a fear of being caught by
authorities, the cover being a red glowing "black sun" symbol with a red "impjak" (a type of
soyjak with big ears) in the middle. A separate 51-page document expressed
white supremacist and
neo-Nazi beliefs, including hatred towards minority groups. Henderson, who was
African-American, described himself as a black man who was angry at members of his own race. Henderson's writings are filled with expressions of
anti-Black racism and antisemitism, including calls for the death of or violence against
Jews and the
Nazi phrase "Final Solution to the Jewish question".
Henderson's manifesto opens with "THE WEST HAS FALLEN, THE WEST HAS FALLEN,
BILLIONS MUST DIE, BILLIONS MUST DIE,
ACCELERATE, ACCELERATE, ACCELERATE," the manifesto also lists a string of "soft targets" including
Jews,
Muslims,
immigrants and
LGBT people. Sections of the document were lifted directly from various extremist sources, including many quotes from the
Christchurch Mosque shooter's manifesto and from propaganda by the
Terrorgram Collective. A portion of the manifesto is plagiarized from the 800-page manifesto written by
Matthew Harris, a former
UCLA lecturer who was arrested in 2022 after publishing a manifesto threatening violence against 35 individuals.
Social Media
Across various social media platforms, Henderson lauded a wide range of mass attackers including school shooters and extremist killers. For example, a
Pinterest account shared in his alleged manifesto included images of killers ranging from the
United Healthcare CEO killer to the
2018 Parkland High School shooter to the
2013 Boston Marathon bombers. The bio for the account was a quote taken from
Christchurch shooter's manifesto. On
TikTok, he reposted fan edits of the
Abundant Life shooter and
2015 Mother Emanuel AME Church shooter.
Henderson had a particular fixation on
Natalie Rupnow, referencing her in his
Discord screenname and sharing multiple posts lauding her in the recent weeks of her attacks in 2024. He also showed interest in the
Turkey mosque mass stabber, who created a private
Telegram chat that Rupnow had joined to discuss his attack. Analysts found that Rupnow was following two accounts that are believed to belong to Henderson on
X at the time of her attack, underscoring the growing influence of these
cross-platform networks in fueling
real-world violence.
Henderson was admittedly a frequent user of the imageboard
Soyjak.party, and his manifesto contained several memes and jargon originating from that imageboard. He was also active on a forum dedicated to sharing depictions of graphic violence. Shortly after Henderson's shooting was reported, users on Soyjack.party claimed the shooter had been "groomed" into committing his attack through interactions with other users on the site connected to more extreme networks such as
764. All discussion about Henderson is forbidden on the forum.
