How long before the Allen, Texas, mall shooting is memory-holed?
American Thinker ^ | 7 May, 2023 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 05/07/2023 3:13:34 PM PDT by MtnClimber

The currently emerging facts indicate that the shooting doesn’t fit the narrative.

Yesterday, something terrible happened in Allen, Texas: An evil man murdered eight people, and injured several others, at an outlet mall. However, based on the currently available facts, this shooting will soon be memory-holed because it does not fit the left’s preferred narrative.

The core facts are simple and tragic: A man dressed in tactical gear opened fire at the Allen Premium Outlet Mall, killing eight and wounding seven, before being killed by a police officer who, fortunately, was on the scene because he’d been called there for something unrelated to the shooting. Whether the shooting becomes fodder for endless demands for the government to use police power to disarm Americans depends very much on the more specific details.

If the shooter was white, we’ll hear about it. If the shooter was a white nationalist, we’ll hear about it even more. And if the shooter was a white nationalist who targeted non-whites, expect the FBI at the doorstep of every conservative in America. However, if the facts don’t match those metrics—if the shooter was non-white or a member of the LGBTQ+++ cohort—expect the entire event to vanish quickly from the media’s consciousness.

Image: Close-up of the shooter’s tattoo. Twitter screen grab.

So far—and I’m writing this at 11 a.m. Eastern Time on a Sunday—the facts refuse to align with the media’s preferred narrative. Instead, it’s looking as if the shooter was Hispanic and, given the tattoo on his hand, possibly an MS-13 gang member.

Maybe he is MS-13, but identifies as a white nationalist.

WaPo has already claimed he is a possible white Supremacist or neo Nazi

And that his tattoo is a right wing insignia

Allen outlet mall shooting in Texas where 8 people were killed and 7 wounded by a non MAGA type? That shooting? Never heard of it.

They are already labeling him a white supremacist.

I thought they were saying the shooter had “Neo-Nazi” beliefs.
I don’t really buy it but I think that was the latest spin

From what I’m seeing he posted a bunch of neo-nazi stuff, but nobody liked any of his comments and he had no friends that they could see on his social media. He was removed from the army very quickly over a mental health issue, and everyone in his neighborhood thought he was weird. He had moved out of his parents house for a few weeks and then he goes and does this!

It was a cartel/gang hit. Almost a daily occurrence in Mexico, and now it has come to th US due to no border security.

Welcome to the new normal thanks to bIden.

Oh, and think about this. No one on ‘the right’ will be holding up ‘10 Fingers’ for the 9 victims and shooter killed yesterday.

The word got out already. He's a white nationalist. It doesn't matter if it is true. The retards the media reach and control will go to their grave believing that, especially if there is something else new that happens tomorrow. Maybe an other shooting sponsored by the FBI and deep state. 2, 3, 4 of these cause confusion to the retard, so when they bring up "all these shootins goin' on..." they can add in "and you know theses white supremusts are behind it".

The point is to plant the seed in the American retard's head: Guns. Violence. Gun violence. White. Male. White supremacist. And Republikkkans REFUSE to do anything about it!

Alex Jones & Pete Santilli are discussing this tonight.
Santilli says his sources say there will be numerous attacks by migrants coming shortly. He says the drug cartels hold migrant’s families hostage, have them attacking US shopping centers, grocery stores in coming days. Cartels don’t want Title 42 lifted because it cuts into their human smuggling profits to allow more lax unrestricted mass migration.

Jones & Santilli speculate based on Michael Yon’s and other info that the Biden admin is fine with this - they will use these mass attacks to pass gun control and then return to prior immigration restrictions to look good to voters while helping the cartels make $$$ again.

That’s their take, anyway.

MS-13 members are very likely to be classified as nationalists, but for what nation? Certainly not the US, and they are not at all what is generally regarded as “white” in any way, shape, form or manner.

MS-13 members are mean to the core and bad to the bone, not for any ideology, or even for profit as in “it’s just business”, as the Mafia types are prone to say. They are just sadistic, brutal gang types that substitute violence for anything remotely related to sexual prowess, and have carved out a place for themselves in a special corner of Hell. They profess not to believe, but still pay great homage to the Prince of evil, and remain unrepentant and intransigent in the face of all reform.

Professional propagandists at the Washington Post seem to be trying to call him a neo-Nazi. I’ve never seen a brown skinned Neo-Nazi that had the facial features of a cartel enforcer.

Remember that Kyle Rittenhaus was a white supremist who killed two black men, and J6 was an armed insurrection that killed five police officers. Facts? The media don’t need no stinkin’ facts!

The local news media said the perp was a 33 year old man, right wing Nazi, and domestic terrorist.
