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

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.

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.

The story has to stay on the radar long enough to maximize the gun confiscation narrative. That’s the emotional price the public has to pay for this government mind-shaping event. Once they grab all our guns, these killings events will dissipate.

MS-13 members are very likely to be classified as nationalists, but for what nation?

Not El Salvador.

The attacker was 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia, several law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
