Cascade of violence continues. Not a bug but a feature.
DALLAS - The gunman who killed at least eight people and wounded a half-dozen more at a Dallas-area outlet mall was identified Sunday as a 33-year-old suspected neo-Nazi sympathizer named Mauricio Garcia, two senior law enforcement officials told NBC News.
Garcia was killed after the outbreak of deadly violence Saturday by a police officer who happened to be at the Allen Premium Outlets, some 25 miles north of Dallas, police said.
Garcia, who lived in Dallas, was armed with an "AR-15 style assault weapon," President Joe Biden said.
The slain suspect was wearing a tactical vest and was also armed with a handgun, one of the senior law enforcement officials said.

Forbes's study found that Texas has the highest uninsured percentage of adults with mental illness at 21.5 percent among all 50 states. Additionally, among all 50 states, 40 percent of adult Texans with a cognitive disability couldn't see a doctor because of cost, more than any other state. One of the most troubling statistics in the study is the number of youth who endured major depressive episodes in the last year and, because of high cost, couldn't receive care. According to Forbes, over 73 percent of Texas youth are experiencing mental hardships and not getting mental health care.

Allen, TX shooter*
Probably done posting in this thread, but in summary:
The Allen shooter was obviously a white supremacist / neo-Nazi. He was basically announcing that he was going to do a mass shooting for months beforehand, and planned his target weeks in advance.
He also posted his handwritten personal diary. Everything I've seen shows that this is about the most textbook mass shooter you'll ever find, and he tells you about it every step of the way. He'll be a reference point for decades on mass shooters because he shared so much.
(Also, forgot to post this earlier: I found his OK profile by searching for active profiles with the filters of his birthday, those living in the US, and male. About 50 results, and the Hitler smiley face avatar made it an easy pick for my first choice of checking if it was him)
One last thing, noticed by
@JakeGodin: the Allen shooter was a big fan of
@libsoftiktok and signed off on one of his posts with "Heil Hitler"
The most recent post on his OK profile is basically his manifesto/suicide note. He closes it with a quote from South Park.
Flashback to
@IwriteOK's 2019 Bellingcat article on how mass shootings have been "gamified", with the Allen shooter talking about a "decent kill score" in Nashville.

He was trying to be the Zodiac Killer I guess
His personal politics were very hard to figure out
The Allen shooter was apparently a
@Timcast fan
@mentionsWorth noting that the Allen shooter didn't have any friends or groups on his OK profile -- he used it like a personal diary. He may have chosen OK because it has virtually zero content moderation.
Christ, just noticed this -- he was at the mall where he did the attack 3 weeks prior. He was monitoring the peak visiting times on Google.
Receipt for the Kit that the Allen, TX shooter bought back in 2020, posted a few weeks before the shooting. He also posted photos of his weapons.
Boxes upon boxes of ammunition that he apparently received a few weeks before the shooting. These photos were posted at the same time as pictures he took at the Allen Mall.
I guess we'll never know if this guy was a liberal or fascist or anything else, oh well
Calling someone a violent incel has lost a lot of meaning in the last few years with the term being so overused. But yeah it fits here.
This video was pre-uploaded and scheduled to post yesterday. He shared a link to his YT on March 6.
Worth noting that he uploaded this video before the shooting, and scheduled for it to be published onto his YouTube channel after the shooting. In a March post, he linked to the same YouTube channel, so it's definitely his.
Also, it's the same apartment that he posted back in December 2022 on his OK page.
(I haven't checked if this is actually him in the picture, I assume he just posted it because he's a big swastika/SS fan, as he has them all over the rest of his profile)
I wonder if the Allen, TX was a white supremacist? If only there was a post that he made himself where we could find out, in context of him being Latino himself.
His ideology will forever be a mystery
