Texas mall shooter Mauricio Garcia planned attack for weeks, timing rampage for maximum carnage
NY Post ^ | 3/8/23 | Ronny Reyes

Posted on 05/08/2023 2:26:35 PM PDT by Callahan

Texas mall gunman Mauricio Garcia appeared to be casing his target for weeks, attacking when it was busiest — after railing online against Jews, women and minorities while noting his own mental-health slide.

Garcia, 33, shared more than two dozen photos of the Allen Premium Outlets on extremist forums in the weeks leading up to his mass shooting, seemingly determining what would be the most packed time at the mall to unleash the greatest carnage, NBC reported.

… In addition to the disturbing snaps, Garcia shared several posts targeting Jewish people, women and racial minorities on the Russian social-networking platform OK.RU and 4chan.

… He posted a video of himself on the day of the massacre removing a Scream mask and asking viewers, “Not quite what you were expecting, huh?” NBC said. It is unclear when the video was taken or what Garcia meant.

… One of his final posts lamented that no psychologist would be able to fix him and his fears of what his family might say about him.

… He said he once admitted his thoughts about his mental health to a commanding military officer.

Yep.

Because this can be manipulated to support the narrativ?.

Notice how the bank shooting, where the mentally ill lefty shot his coworkers, dropped off of the radar, too.?

This is, all, getting very weird and scary, quick.

If Blacks kill other Blacks, are they racist?
IF Black women kill their baby, are they racist?

Racist is a meaningless term in 2023. It means anything the woke want it to mean. But it may not be defined by a racist, as “racist” is can only be defined by the woke.

Judging from the photo I would not be surprised if he had some sort of neurological impairment either at birth or later. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome seems likely.

What Heavy has posted regarding his own writings does not jell at all with the narrative we are supposed to accept. For instance,

“What is missing from the scapegoating arguments is a good look in the mirror by us as a society and a culture. Other developed countries that we consider to be our peers simply do not have the problem with mass shooting incidents that we do. It is my contention that the very roots of our mass shooting epidemic may be found in our core cultural value of fierce individualism, a belief in vengeance, and the ethic that might makes right.”

And,

“Editorials call for new laws to limit access to the tools of mass murder. Gun rights advocates respond that the answer lies in getting more guns into the right hands, not in gun bans that will prove ineffectual in a nation that already boasts approximately 300 million guns, or eighty-eight for every hundred people….A few isolated states may strengthen their gun laws, but at least an equal number will do the opposite.”

“These factors include but are not limited to: financial and healthcare fears, a declining belief in the American dream, distrust of the government, racism, xenophobia, religious and gender biases, hate crime, domestic terrorism,...”

Now why would a right wing neonazi extremist be concerned there was racism,xenophobia and gender biases? Wouldn’t they think that a plus? Anything to disable the so called ZOG would please them.

If memory serves this is not the first killer who showed a motive of proving gun control was needed because it was too easy for a person to obtain guns and commit these crimes. That does not ring like a Right Wing or even White supremacist talking point. Not even an Antifa one. My belief,

Beyond my suspicion that he had a neurological impairment like fetal alcohol syndrome (based on the photo of him) is that he very carefully orchestrated a social media presence to feed a narrative the MSM and officials are now pushing and believing. But his writing and his remarks about interactions with co-workers tell a different story. Which is this. “Kill people and show just how this culture encourages and tolerates large losses life because we just love guns so much.”

despite the fact that Garcia addressed his own Hispanic heritage, which had previously casted doubts on his neo-Nazi leanings.

"Previously"?

His brilliant planning obviously didn’t include a cop putting 124 grains through his noggin.

Not everything adds up, at this early stage.

Meaning, of course...

Is there evidence (or even clear reporting) that he bought his firearms from an FFL holder with real paperwork? Texas is probably awash with guns sold legally peer to peer, and illegally fenced by thieves, gangsters, etc.

The whole narrative is too packed with bent cliches to be credible. Ex-mil thrown out for mental illness. Security guard. Of Mexican descent (born in Mexico or in US?) yet he is a white supremacist, Jew-hater, and misogynist. He posts on Russian social media and 4Chan. “Right wing death squad” can only mean “white supremacy” — if you ignore the fact that the term hails from central/south America’s paramilitary struggles against communists.

No, the stuff he posted over the last week and in April compared to what is supposed to be him writing about Nikolas Cruz in Jan of 2023—nope, something isn’t lining up. Something stinks here.

It stinks to high heaven. I was starting to think I was the only one here seeing the major disconnect.

The online profile that is being described as him... is more than one person.

He was the weak sheep they spotted and zeroed in on and worked.

I don’t know who the *they is but there’s a *they in this story and *they need to be uncovered.

There’s more to this, much more.

FBI? Government of some sort? True white supremist using him like a tool? Antifa sorts using him like a tool?

That undermines his phony “mental disorder defense” as prosecutors have to prove a person planned and set up steps toward the day they killed people. Difficult but not impossible to convict him.
