#NBCNews #Texas #Shooting
source
The white mass race shooter trend did not start in America, it was anders breivik.
That started all this in back in 2012, he inspired so many copy cats. Because before 2012 how many race based mass shooting were there.
This guy is the first domino.
Texas and Florida are the worst states to feel safe in currently 😢.
😢
texas mall shooter was also inspired by libs of tik tok
The tattoo artist and they are to be held culpable also. WHY on earth would you not be suspicious of a person coming in to get those kinds of tattoos???!!
I smell something fishy looks more like a kamikaze thing to me.
Lol, oh yes… Mauricio Garcia is TOTALLY a white supreeemist
Abbott the Butcher is Trump's new name for the Texas governor
Blame on Trumps. Trump had course bad Racism do killed others good humans being.
Any other country on the planet the following day all guns are banned and its over. In the US they make more guns and problem continues and gets worse.
1:19 The fact this sicko posted a picture of the Wolf from Puss In Boots 2, one of the best animated characters is disgusting
This is so devastating. Kyu is my very close friend. He’s one of the kindest most generous people I’ve ever met
Those tattoos look pretty fresh, almost like he got them right before the shooting
So we're supposed to believe this guy fell through the cracks? No way Jose!
HiS LAST NAME IS GARICA.
Since we are monitored by all these social media groups, and most of the time censored, how did this HISPANIC get passed them?
Very sad indeed. ALL of these mass shooters are mentally ill. The gun does not travel & go off itself!
Odd that this guy traveled to a more white area to do a shooting than where he lived with more minorities! The media will always push racism & hate. Why no picture of him, because he's not white! He didn't seem to be aiming at specific people & the security guard looked white. Please don't believe the fake news, do some actual research & find out facts!!
In blue states, deadly weapons of war are banned.
but in red states, Republicans passed permit less guns in public.
Republicans work for NRA and not American people.
And yet states continue to do nothing to help prevent this from continuing in staggering numbers. Trust and believe you’ll hear about another major mass shooting by Friday of this week. I hope I’m wrong, but I know I’m not with how frequent these are.
Was he white, i thought he sounded hispanic. Why would he be a white supremacists? I didnt know that Hispanics identified as white. Sad sad story
It's crazy how the media, FBI, internet police don't know about people like this. They can ban my stupid posts, but people like this go unnoticed? Seems hardly believable. I'm sick of this BS! It's sad how the media uses tragedies like this politically. White people were killed too. Shameful.
So ONCE AGAIN, explicit threats were made, but our all-knowing, all-seeing government FAILED to stop him. Wasn't the point of all this post-9/11 surveillance to "keep us safe"?
Who did the tattoo's and why?
I will never understand how someone who is hispanic can fall into such a disgusting ideology.
So sad that america came to this ,
"Everytime there is a shooting we play this ridiculous theater"
– Ted Cancun Cruz
Isnt it amazing how much news coverage white shooters or white supremacist shooters get, compared to everyone else?
200 mass shootings this year, but only 3 of them got any media hype.
Boy, that 1% of people definitely seem to be the real issue we all need to focus on
If you want to stop gun massacres pass a law limiting civilian firearms to single shot pistols and rifles. And limit the ammunition to 22 short rimfire. Not 22 lr rimfire because thats too lethal to children.
How can he be a white supremacist when he is hispanic? He cant.
Why is media playing up the "wh1te supremacist" angle when he had a Tango Blast tattoo on his hand?
Nice gaslighting job though @ the supposed pic of the guy, from the neck down.
It's like media isn't even trying to make believable lies anymore. 😂
This is 1 reason we have mass shootings. Every news channel has been playing the shooters name, his beliefs, everything about him making him famous. If he wanted ppl to know his hate for others it worked thanks to the media and everyone watching and asking about the shooter. Stop putting their life on display for the world, it's exactly why they do it is for attention. And they get it
Hes Mexican not a white supremacist,they need to stop with the white nationalist theme,the last 6 or seven shootings have been trans or hispanic and one was a black guy that shot up a college that they buried the story when he diddnt fit the profile.
Sounds like an Incel to me. No?
What for a terrible world with horrible people. 😥😥😥
Guns down. Stop the sale. Stop many deaths. Stop.
Stupid gun seller didn't even do a background check!!!
And the gunman really targetted minorities in that mall!!
I mean, is this "approved" by white texans?? Did the seller know?? I really hope not. That's premeditated murder, right??
TEXAS– DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR GOVERNOR, SENATORS & CONGRESS PEOPLE!!! You can change this with your vote!! Good Lord! How many more people need to die or live in fear in texas???
That shld be included in background checks– online history & tattoos. So many red flags. Could've prevented this. Whoever sold that gun to that shooter & blindly looked past all the red flags, didn't checl anything– this is on you, too, a-hole! If no one sold the gun to him, this would not have happened!!! I'm so angry! A little boy lost his family bec you wanted to make money off a gun!!! You..you..you..OHMYGOD!!!
Im glad they aren't showing his face!

And Jesus said unto them:
Those who live by the AR15 shall surely die by the AR15"
– The Satirist Rogue Nemi
Very evil and very sad. That tattoo ink in shirtless pic of suspect 2 weeks before attack seems very fresh as it was just done. And isn’t he Hispanic? Strange
Thoughts and prayers! Just kidding! How about serious gun contrrol? Are your kids worth it? Mine sure are. Wake up, Cultists.
ive got no more tears just anger… because at the end of the day nothing is going to be done. THE PEOPLE are the cause of it. Its NOT THE LEADERSHIP it people.
They sure have all the information and search history of the shooter. But.. when it comes to the trans-crazy.. oh no! Nothing here, we can't release the manifesto. Don't show the search history either.
Stop saying its the firearm and not the person. If its the firearm, then do what 98% of the EU does and limit the access. Strong background checks, registration, limit the calibur, ammo bothe quantity and quality, stop ipen carry…..
Sadly even if TX had its idiotic laws from > 3 years ago, the shooter would still be able to buy the firearms if he had no prior history of crimminal or deranged behaviors.
Of course the shooter was a right wing nut job. Always are.
