Texas jerk shoots up mall, racist ties alleged

Saturday a Hispanic-sounding fella name of Mauricio Garcia shot up a mall in Allen, TX (north of Dallas) and killed 8 people before a cop ended his spree.  Much is being made of  some incidentals:

1) He was wearing armor when he began, which had a patch on it that says “RWDS”.   This is supposedly  a common acronym among extremists meaning “Right Wing Death Squad”. To date, I have seen NO speculation on whether he put the patch on himself, acquired the vest with patch already attached, or whether a search of his house (carried out about 6:30 last night)  turned up any more ‘extremist’ material. The Independent via AOL  One would think that a salient piece of info to have?

2) The shooter had previously attempted to make it into the Army but was booted after three months on a discharge which did not specify why he was booted (presumably a “failure to adapt” or some such. To the relief of some of our most vociferous, he wasn’t awarded ANYTHING while in, not even an NDSM. NY Post   Some law enforcement say his discharge was due to “mental health concerns”. Police also speculate that he was an “incel” (can’t see how, 33 and working as a security guard at best – what woman could resist that?)

3) Rumor has it that he was heavily tattooed (covered with “gang tats” but footage of the actual shooting has been pulled so that cannot be verified.

4) Supposedly he received “firearms training”, in which he learned about handling firearms and demonstrated proficiency as a security guard, although his security license has been expired since 2018.  The Independent via AOL

FINALLY the media has something to hang their hat on, that this guy  must be a right-wing POS. (Or whomever he bought his vest from was?) Attempted Army! (That the Army didn’t want his is irrelevant.) Lots of ink (I see little oild ladies in grocery stores sporting ink sailors of my youth would blanche at.)

But all in all, someone who seems to have planned to train, through the Army or as an armed guard, for years to be some kind of badass even if only in his own mind. We’ll probably hear more about him, since they can try to make him fit the right-wing extremist mold they want to portray. Unlike, say, the trans shooter in Nashville who supposedly left an extensive manifesto – which seems destined not to reach the light of day. Or the shooter  in Cleveland, TX, thrice deported who just keeps sneaking back in.

President Biden, by the way, is splashing knee-deep in the victim’s blood and calling for a ban on “assault weapons” because of this.  Geez, Joe, at least let the bodies cool. But that would probably allow too much time for normal people to wonder why,  if bad people committed crimes do the good folks need to pay?

You would almost think that someone who really wanted to get to the root of all these “mass shootings” would do some basic analysis of which groups of people DO that sort of thing. Pretty sure the normal main-stream adjusted folks are not on the list.
