So the police chief(?) confirmed that the shooter was from Allen. That's north DFW, roughly 659 miles away from El Paso.
Pure speculation, but the shooter came a long way to shoot up the Wal-Mart/mall. El Paso is also significantly more Hispanic than DFW (80% compared to 28%).
Also, one of the other senior LEOs at this press conference directly attributed the manifesto to the shooter. So I think it's safe to say it's his.

Another white supremacist? This is the second time this week. Trump is enabling these monsters.
Pray tell what can you, in all your experience as a certified diagnoser of mental health conditions, take from what is a literal snapshot of 1 millisecond of a person's life.

literally a salesperson for the NRA and gun manufacturers. And you know the pay ain't bad.
The nation as fixed the gun issue by deciding that it's not an issue.
How sad.
The GOP is a white nationalist terrorist organization. Never forget that and don't be afraid to call them what they are.
Antifa isn't a organization, it's people who fight/protest fascism. If you gather to oppose white nationalism, you're antifa.
Yep, that's when I came to grips with the gun issue never changing.
2nd ep in the latest season. one where the dude takes the random 'notgoogle' intern hostage and all his information is accessed in literal minutes. and everything is interconnected. feels very relevant whenever one of these large-scale media stories occurs.
You know I absolutely agree the manifesto in full shouldn't be shared but I'm seeing Twitter posts directly or indirectly saying we shouldn't focus on the shooter's motivations (e.g.: https://twitter.com/freeblackgirl/status/1157793053718880257?s=20 )
That is absurd.
Of COURSE we need to focus on the shooter's motivations. You know how many people in America still think that right-wing/white nationalist extremism is exaggerated by the left in the same way left-wing extremism is exaggerated by the right? How many still wave off the real and persistent threat of these fucking right-wing lunatics? The amount of "both sides" shit that still goes on? "Oh yeah well right-wing extremists are bad but also look at Antifa."
This equivalence will not die until people are reminded, CONSTANTLY, of how many of these mass shootings have been committed by Trump-loving, MAGA psychopaths.
If the manifesto is verified, people need to be informed that the crux of the motivation here was a perceived "hispanic invasion" and "replacement" of white people and link that to the language used by this administration and Trump himself.

Ah yeah, is that what happened here? I am just catching up to the news

I wish I lived in a country where shit like this gets you less votes, not more.
Yup. That's been my take for years now. If the slaughter of a bunch of innocent children like babies really doesn't move the needle nothing will. It can't.
This is pretty misleading. You should know better than to insinuate that the FBI agent is trying to minimize the idea that the shooting was a hate crime.
So when is it ever okay to talk about it then? We bring up in debates and it gets an eye roll from the right, bring it up now and WE'RE the ones not having compassion? Get this gaslighting the fuck outta here. Those men are full of shit.
Ah yes the good ol' " Its not the time to talk about gun control" chestnut.
not the same exact scenario, but a lot of the manifesto 8chan stuff leaked while the scene was still active and before he was detained.
this was literally five hours ago
this part is new to me and weird.
I wish I lived in a country will corrupt assholes were removed from office.
Literally "now is not the time". When the fuck is the time?
Fuck all these people. This blood, and all the future blood (there will be lots of it) is on their hands. They are complicit in countless murders.
Would have to take a surprising turn at this point for the "speculation" to not be close to the truth. Like, "He casually posted a racist anti-immigrant manifesto, then drove 659 miles to a Walmart in El Paso to shoot his cheating wife all because she cheated on him. Everyone else was just collateral of his rage and mental illness fueled by animosity to his wife."
Trump KNOWS his words will do this. They have before. They will do it again.
He. Doesn't. Care. Because. He Doesn't. Value. The Lives of people that aren't White.
We cannot stand for his rhetoric. We cannot stand for the existing gun culture.
However many times this happens, we must always hurt, and fight, until it stops.

Victim Fund Donation Link
That's all good, but what actually happens? Literally nothing. People will just keep getting slaughtered.
yep, 100000000%
at this point sitting by and letting it continue is tantamount to being complicit in it and being okay with future attacks. enough is enough. we all knew trump had the potential to incite this type of violence with his rhetoric and here it is now with 20 dead plus the victim in VA.
enough is enough.
considering dude was on 8chan, that's 100% probable
and wolf blitzer talking about this shit now shows why the media WILL NEVER GET IT.
No, they just don't want to talk about the problem at all. Ever. Because it's not a problem to them.
I love how they criticize the democrat candidates' platform on gun control while saying that it's not the time for politics. Gross.
This problem is not solvable. White America wants this and White America always gets what it wants, even to its own detriment.
You are thinking that they are stupid, but they are just deflecting cause they don't want to face the problem.
That anchor is spreading so much of misinformation. He's also blaming video games.
He doesn't care about anyone that isn't Donald Trump. He only placates himself to the whites because he knows they are stupid enough to vote for him.
I've donated to the fund. I've shared the link as widely as I can. I will talk to my representatives. I will do everything I can to support sensible gun control. I will do everything I can to fight any politicians using their platform to share anti immigrant rhetoric or to fight against gun control.
What do you propose differently? I know I didn't spell out what I meant by saying 'we can't stand for this' but it didn't mean 'post angry things on the internet and do nothing else'.
