Quoted: - Why was the shooter misidentified several times? The internet did it's thing lol - The shooter wasn't white. - How were his neo-Nazi affiliations discovered? I'd imagine when they removed his shirt they saw his huge swastika and SS runes. - There was speculation about whether the visible tattoo on the (confirmed) shooter's hand was a gang tattoo, based on the practices of the prison gang Tango Blast, whose members have tats of the cities they're from. From reading his post about his tattoo, it seemed he just wanted to represent Dallas. And more than likely didn't even have affiliation. - The alleged shooter's Nazi tattoos are fresh - The alleged shooter's account on OK dot RU was made a few months ago, it had zero interactions - The photos of his body with Nazi tattoos are all headless - The person who discovered the OK dot RU profile is a Bellingcat researcher, a NAFO member, and the same guy who discovered the Discord leaks of the top secret Pentagon files. - The alleged shooter's profile praised the transgender terrorist in Nashville - The shooter posted Tim Pool's content on his profile, with zero interactions. They're currently being highlighted by the researcher and others. View Quote Just some of my takes. |

Quoted: One thing that seem to be going on -- out of malice or sheer ignorance on the part of the press -- is that they are conflating "nazi" and "white supremacy" as if the two are the same.

Quoted: https://apnews.com/article/texas-mall-shooting-right-wing-extremists-patch-0be37dc3b41f99835a00ff1c859fd6dd Soon to be Trumps fault View Quote How about this little nugget from the AP story: The term "Right Wing Death Squad" originally emerged in the 1970s and '80s to describe Central and South American paramilitary groups created to support right-wing governments and dictatorships and oppose perceived enemies on the left, said Oren Segal, vice president of the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism. I'd say their perception of commies was spot on. More not-so-subtle racism by the AP: Far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys often point to their Black and Hispanic members to rebut claims that they promote racism or white supremacist ideologies. Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader, is Cuban American, for example. Because Cubans aren't "hispanic enough." |

Paying ~$75/day for an extended stay motel would eat into that pay pretty quick too. No idea how long he had been there but it would have taken a big part of what he made to pay the rent. $75 a day is like a 1 day stay rate. With "Extended Stay" rentals, the longer you stay the less you pay - a month paid in advance is like $1,000-ish (depending on the location). More like $30-$35 a day and that covers all utilities, house keeping + cable TV. Cook up some meals on the stove and a fellow could get by on the pretty cheap. Not as "cheap" as living for free with his parents, but if he was out of their house - they might well have had "concerns" about him & his increasingly erratic & troubling behavior. Bigger_Hammer |

We got some more evidence of glowies involved here:
Garcia also wrote about mass shootings: What is missing from the scapegoating arguments is a good look in the mirror by us as a society and a culture. Other developed countries that we consider to be our peers simply do not have the problem with mass shooting incidents that we do. It is my contention that the very roots of our mass shooting epidemic may be found in our core cultural value of fierce individualism, a belief in vengeance, and the ethic that might makes right. These cultural values have been central to what it means to be an American since our nation’s birth. We have always loved to settle disputes (at the individual and group levels) with violence and guns and we gleefully celebrate vigilantism in our popular culture. I further contend there are powerful, divisive, and negative social forces at work today that fuel the increase in mass public shootings. These factors include but are not limited to: financial and healthcare fears, a declining belief in the American dream, distrust of the government, racism, xenophobia, religious and gender biases, hate crime, domestic terrorism, and near-constant war since 2001. Political and social divisions fueled by seemingly ubiquitous hate speech across media platforms over the last few years have created an environment where violence is seemingly inevitable. The above factors have led to fear, alienation, powerlessness, rage, and nihilism for millions of people in our country. Tragically, but predictably, an increasing number of Americans are striking out in horrible, public acts of mass violence against innocent strangers that are driven by rage and unfounded retribution. This existential crisis demands that we reassess our core values and priorities as a society, and it deserves our collective commitment to change and grow if we are to stem the tide of this terrible phenomenon. View Quote https://heavy.com/news/mauricio-garcia/ So, yeah I saw that sh!t stain's videos and performance on the range (pointing his pistol at himself, etc) and there is no way that fucktard wrote a word of the above.
