Texas Gunman Agrees to Pay $5 Million for 2019 Racist Attack

Patrick Crusius killed 23 people at a Walmart in 2019 after ranting about Hispanics

A white Texas gunman who killed 23 people at a Walmart in 2019 after ranting about Hispanics taking over the government and economy has agreed to pay more than $5 million to victims of the racist attack, according to an order signed by a judge Monday.

Patrick Crusius was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences in July after pleading guilty to federal hate crime charges following one of the nation’s worst mass killings. Court records show his attorneys and the Justice Department reached an agreement over the restitution amount, which was then approved by U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama.

There is no indication Crusius, 25, has significant assets. He was 21 years old and had dropped out of community college when police say he drove more than 700 miles from his home near Dallas to target Hispanics with an AK-style rifle inside and outside the store. Moments before the attack began, Crusius posted a racist screed online that warned of a Hispanic “invasion” of Texas.

He once worked at a movie theater, a job that his attorneys have said Crusius was forced to leave because he was having violent thoughts.

If you kill 23 people...regardless of their race or why you did it...you must expect serious repercussions. I don't see why this punk won't be executed.

Just as soon as he gets out of prison, he can start saving.

Not like anyone is going to pay big bucks for his life story.

Wanted to be a cop when he was in high school. Dropped out of junior college. From a largely lower middle class to solidly middle class area, unlikely to have family wealth.

Mr. Crusius can have his say at his state trial and the people of the State of Texas can convict him, send him death row and then strap him down to a table and jam a needle in his arm.

90 consecutive life sentences. Sigh... Such idiocy. Life or death. Let’s get real.

Or maybe the DNC will send him a check with all the help he gave them with their gun confiscation program.

Texas taxpayers will probably SPEND another $5 million on this scum before he expires. How about he kill himself now, and we call it even.

The real absurdity is the ‘Justice Department attorneys’ and the judge wasting everybody’s time and money by even considering this.

The doj crime stats agree with you. Both mexicans and blacks are far more violent than whites. Even black women as a group, murder more people than white men do.
