Police in El Paso, Texas, are responding Saturday to an active shooter in the area of the Cielo Vista Mall, the agency tweeted.

"Scene is still active," police wrote, adding, "avoid the area" around Hawkins and Gateway East boulevards.

At least three businesses in the area are on lockdown. Three Walmart employees took refuge at a Landry's Seafood house, restaurant manager Oscar Collazo told CNN. The women appeared "shook up" but not injured.

Landry's had already gone on lockdown, he said, but opened its doors when the employees ran there.

It is a mess all over twitter. They are pushing the narrative this was a "Christchurch" type guy with a manifesto who hated hispanics.

It is always a wait and see scenario at this point but you want all the rumors because they scrub everything later they do not want you to know. This is the point you can grab the gems of info the come out years later.

"Received a report from a government-connected source in TX indicating it was one shooter, a 21 yr. old male, not multiple...however they are operating on the assumption it is likely ANTIFA-related, but not going to release until further confirmation has been made. * BREAKING "*

“two shooters. One in custody.”

. And once again the handler walks away and disappears down the memory hole. EVERY TIME!

Garlic fest shooter did not die at hands of police. As they approached he shot himself in the head. This per the police Chief.

Briefing has nothing new. Only confirms 1 suspect in custody.

Motel 6 manager reports he found ammo in a room.

If an opus or manifesto reads like a check list of what one group believes about another you should be suspect of who penned it. If it reveals what we are told again and again by those who think all Conservatives parade under the “Right wing extremist” banner we should find it’s timing awfully convenient. If it proves that the talking heads of the MSM and the Democrats are right in hammering again and again at the evils of Trump and his crackdown on illegal immigrants, we must remember this political fight is for the heart and soul of America and it is a take no prisoners stance for the Left.

From what little I could see that was written in advance and the views expressed dovetail too well with “Dangerous right winger with a gun has crazy ideas.” playbook. So I am not right off buying it. It is propaganda meant to fan fears and make destroying the Bill of Rights more palatable.

If that’s his opus he’s definitely a product of the US news media and politicized education complex... Has apparently no experience in debating people with alternative views and no interest in anyone’s views but his own...a narcissist, which is extremely common these days. In his brief life of being bombarded with hyperbolic environmental propaganda he thinks the environment is getting WORSE whereas an older person, or at least a person with contact with the elderly, would know this simply is not true and things are far better than they were in say, 1910..or even 1970.
He thinks in terms of environmental sustainability, is worried about oil drilling and plastic, is nihilistic to the extreme, rails against corporations, is against intermarriage because of fears about losing diversity, is antiwar, agrees with the NZ shooter, and last but not least, there’s no mention of God , at least the parts I skimmed.

“....And once again the handler walks away and disappears down the memory hole. EVERY TIME!....”
It’s the typical MO of a deep state MK ULTRA “wind-up toy” operation. As you state, it happens just about every time. Mentally deranged (drug-prepped) youth that hears “voices” along with the “handler” to ensure that once the zombie “wind-up toy” is “wound up”, it goes after the selected target. Deep state is a dangerous and evil entity.

He did mention supporting the Christchurch shooter but the Christchurch shooter was no conservative either... They always ignore the nihilism and factually distorted environmentalism of these shooters...

The media keeps playing to the shooters’ common denominator, their narcissism.

If the guy is a Mexican American, its unlikely that he would randomly shoot other Hispanics because he hates immigrants. He would know not all Hispanics are immigrants. All the conflicting reports don’t make sense.

The effects of SSRIs and amphetamines in young kids who are still developing is a lot different than an adult taking it. I think it’s disgusting how they give speed to very young children. They are at an age where they are developing permanent aspects of their personalities, and we play around with it just to make them sit still and study. Speed increases the attention span of everyone regardless of whether you've been diagnosed with ADD, or if you’re a child or an adult. It increases attention span at the expense of other parts of your personality, and it often causes people to isolate themselves. You might go back to normal if you’re an adult who’s already developed, but there’s no telling what it does to kids who are on them when they are suppose to be developing, and won’t even no what normal is when they go off of them.

They already know that SSRIs given before puberty will cause the same temporary sexual dysfunction they do in adults, but it causes huge problems when it stops it at a time a kid is suppose to be figuring out their sexuality during puberty. If a boy goes through puberty without any sexual thoughts or biological responses it damages him. They've known all this for years, but they don’t care. That’s why they don't mind filling them with hormones now to push the tranny agenda, and it will end in a lot of suicides or worse. That should be looked at the same as pedophilia for the permanent mental and physical trauma it will cause.

We know there’s a connection between children who are molested by a homosexual before puberty having an increased chance of becoming a homosexual as an adult. I can’t imagine anything being able to make a straight person gay once a young adult has already developed their sexuality, but it’s clear children develop permanent personality traits in those years and we shouldn't be experimenting on them just make them easier to control. The BS about children with ADD reacting differently to speed than others is a lie many doctors use. College kids who don't have ADD use it to study for the same reasons. I didn't mean to rant like this, but it's an issue that bothers me.
