don’t worry “we don’t know the motives of the shooter yet” he was just very very interested in white supremacy and neo Nazism, purely coincidentally
RIP the victims.
3rd race bait thread today from you. The shooter was Hispanic
“Mauricio Garcia”
This is not a race baiting thread. We don’t know if race played a factor in it yet? I even said that in the OP. The report says it also, the investigation is ongoing and no motive has been released by investigators.
Reviews on Garcia’s social media history have also suggested he engaged with neo-Nazi content online and made numerous posts of his own with racially or ethnically motivated violent rhetoric. The investigation remains ongoing, however, and authorities have yet to determine a motive for the attack.
Chill. Like I said we don’t know the motive and as of yet still just a remarkable coincidence they liked neo nazism and white supremacy.
Can't we just have a mega thread for all the crap that happens in that cesspit country?
You’re rushing to conclude it had to do with race based
No , thats you by posting this
Thats the words of somebody who desperately wants this atrocity to be blamed on white supremacy and right wingers. The evidence to link this crime to white supremacy is CNN stating they believe the killer wore an RWDS bage.
Note " they believe". . Typical of CNN to literally make up their own news.
They of course ignored his neck tattoos synonymous with gangland cartel members.
You’re just proving the OP correct, that we don’t know the motive behind the killing yet? 😶
I don’t write the news? Now I’m at fault for what the headlines say? Shoot me, lol it’s not some obscure site its one I frequently link to, your suggestion I went hunting for a specific headline here is categorically false, this is the news as it happened today.
Race baiter in chief up to old tricks.
Texas shooter espoused neo nazism. . Thats fake news unless it can be proven. . Btw , i couldn't care less if the Mexican is in fact a Nazi. . Im only interested in the truth.
Selectively choosing which US massacres to be outraged about suggests that the tragedy itself doesn't matter to you, but rather how the story can be weaponized to advance a narrative that aligns with your political outlook.
“Oh I see you started a thread about a tragedy well that just proves your selective outrage because you didn’t start a thread about every killing everywhere”
Stop it lol.
Speaking of selective outrage the folks posting whataboutisms never have shown they created any threads to discuss those whataboutisms. Ever.
Terrible to read of another mass shooting in the US. R.I.P to the victims and sympathies to their families.
Why what did Trump say about it??
At least I had the decency to find out their names before posting.
You’re just admitting you only did so as an afterthought to try and make your post out to be constructive when it wasn’t.
Stop digging
2 mass shootings in Europe 03/05 9 dead in elementary school by 13 year old and 05/05 8 dead by 21 year old in a village. And that is probably not even all
Here's the Guardian's take on it.
I'm sure all the right wingers here will apologise to Overheal any minute now, for correctly pointing out that the shooter expressed interest in Neo-Nazi views.
I just realised the guardian can be seen as a "left wing rag"
So, I took one for the team and had a look to see how the Daily Mail are reporting it.
Guess what they're leading with?
Oh those race baiters
\shakes fist
As if.
Shame for you the thread already exists. I'll leave it as a google exercise or a boards search exercise to you to find it. Ten of Swords started it iirc.
I'll give you another hint for your Google search, there is a huge protest in that country's capital today and if it goes wrong you will definitely hear for it
Is this meant to be confusing?
Apparently no Irish like to discuss the US topic but the Germans seemingly do
Let's talk about 2 question about Texas from Germany....
"I have 2 questions. We view Texas as a place where everybody owns a gun. Is this wrong? Why wasn't anyone around to stop it? Do you think the horrible footage will make their politicians more likely to act or 'shift thought' as [Beau likes] to say?"
While it's hard to understand how someone could be a non-white white supremacist, it's worth noting that there are many examples of female misogynists out there. I know a few poor people that always vote tory.
Sometimes people just act against their best interests.
The founder of the proud boys was hispanic.
I think it would be a mistake to lump all hispanics as a homogenous group, they're not even a homogenous voting block (Cuban Americans are predominantly Republican voters, only Mexicans celebrate Cinco De Mayo, etc). Oftentimes too a Republican migrant voter adopts the platform because they resent illegal migration vs. their legal migration. Nevermind that "Hispanic" encompasses a whole slew of nationalities and cultures, many of whom might easily be at each others throats for any awl reason, or might have not one thing to do with the other.
Do you mean Enrique Tarrio? He was an FBI informant.
Does anyone still think these groups like Proud Boys, Oathkeepers are anything but FBI traps? They seem to be mostly agents if not all agents, including at the very top level of the organisation.
Even if they are actually real (doubtful), enough of them are members of the intelligence community that the others are under constant surveillance.
He was an informer in 2014, not recently.
Do FBI informants routinely get federally prosecuted for crimes? I mean, we'll know when the sentencing comes up, right?
He ultimately cooperated with the FBI but he wasn't FBI.
Proud boys were founded in 2016.
Tarrio had been "working undercover for investigators after he was arrested in 2012, according to a former prosecutor and a transcript of a 2014 federal court proceeding obtained by Reuters." Link
He's not a real neo-Nazi, which ought to solve the mystery of why some brown-skinned Hispanic is meant to be into white supremacy.
The FBI are too lazy to get a white dude to be one of their white supremacist guys.
shooter was a white supremacist who was also Hispanic. Far right loon going around In his militia gear. But sure maybe if they all had guns they could have shot him first. Then each other. Or something.
