Agents reviewing Texas gunman’s extremist social media postings

Federal officials are looking into whether the gunman who killed eight people at a Dallas-area mall expressed an interest in white supremacist ideology Sunday as they work to discern a motive for the attack, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official cautioned the investigation is in its early stages.

Federal agents have been reviewing social media accounts they believe were used by Mauricio Garcia, 33, and posts that expressed interest in white supremacist and neo-Nazi views, said the official, who could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Garcia also had a patch on his chest when he was killed by police that read “RWDS,” an acronym for the phrase “Right Wing Death Squad,” which is popular among right-wing extremists and white supremacy groups, the official said.

In addition to reviewing social media posts, federal agents have interviewed family members and associates of Garcia to ask about his ideological beliefs, the official said. Investigators are also reviewing financial records, other online posts they believe Garcia made and other electronic media, according to the official.

Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey declined Sunday evening to answer questions from the AP, saying of the investigation, “we actually don’t have a lot.”

Yep, definitely a "white supremacist"...

The police chief admits “we actually don’t have a lot”, but this doesn't stop the corrupt Associated Press from speculating (inventing) on the shooter's ideology...

They are just putting the finishing touches on this manifesto, but cannot find the homosexuals. Their corruption is almost funny.

Extremist now coined by FJB for the opposition MAGA. Perfect branding for low information readers who actually only read the headlines .

Checked to see if the headline was from the Babylon Bee... so hard to tell the difference between sarcasm and “reality”.

Let’s face it, the FBI, ADL, and SPLC, all needed a “white supremacist” attack, since there weren’t any, they have to make do with what will be labeled a “white Hispanic”. Earlier today I saw an article about the arrest of a Mein Kampf-reading Hispanic woman being arrested for involvement in J6. With an army of natural-born liars dominating the Media-Dem Party you can bet that a “black white-supremacist” won’t be far behind.

The Mexican Nazi Party doesn’t compute if they had been from Paraguay or Argentina you could have connected him to Nazis that fled after World War but Mexico.

That’s where Leon Trotsky hung out before Stalin had him offed in 1940.

Mexico is for Communists Castro launched from there to start the revolution in Cuba.

--- "...who could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity...."

This is among the many favorite authoritative voices which I trust. /SARCASM

Does the ASSociated Press not read their own prose? Can't discuss details, as they "report" on details, and can't say who said it because....

Yeah, there is this vast right-wing conspiracy of converting POCs into white supremacists. /snark

AP is not engaging in gaslighting here, no siree. It's a conspiracy, and it's real I tell you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

They will decide that he did because they are defining it.

And it is really irrelevant. They are just looking for excuses to crack down on others they want to label as such, which is all us white people.

The manifesto will never be permitted to see the light of day.

These same “ federal officials “ are still pigeon-holing the Covenant/Nashville manifesto, but they’ve declared this Latin murderer a “ white supremacist “.

They’re really desperate, aren’t they.
