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.

The Allen mall killer was thrown out of the Army in 2008 because he was mentally ill. If they failed to update the FBI’s NICS database to reflect that, then the Army is liable, because that would have stopped him from buying any guns legally. The Air Force has already settled an almost identical case for $144,500,000.

I’ve read it was a simple admin discharge not specifically addressing mental health. In my experience, trouble-makers were discharged but mental or emotional problems were not highlighted in the paperwork.

He said he once admitted his thoughts about his mental health to a commanding military officer......So, once again DOD is caught slipping and didn’t report this guy to NICS. Shocking.

Interestingly, we seem to be finding out about his motives but have to learn anything about the motives of the she/he in Nashville. Hmmmmm

Clearly a self-hating Mexican. What a POS this scumbag was.

Why is it that we know all of this information about this guy less than 48 hours after the event, but there are things we don’t know about the shooter from Las Vegas years ago, and we know very little about the trans gender shooter at the Nashville Christian School?

“Investigators also have been probing Garcia’s alleged neo-Nazi views, after police found a patch on his chest with the acronym “RWDS,” which stands for “Right Wing Death Squad” — a popular phrase among white supremacy groups, according to a law-enforcement official who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.”

Probably the ADL/SPLC. That sounds like the kind of BS they spread. The FBI and their pals at the ADL and SPLC needed a “white supremacist” attack, but couldn’t find any, so they whipped up this one in a flash. I hear they are also trying to turn the Mexican guy who ran over 7 people in TX the other day into a “white supremacists” as well.

The Allen mall killer was thrown out of the Army in 2008 because he was mentally ill.

He never completed basic training due to a number of issues including his mental capacity, so they separated him out. Yes ... the Army should have put that in the database.

They’re selling the white supremacy story very hard. I wonder if it’s convincing anyone.

Looks like yet anoyther SSRI mass killer. But the media will NEVER disclose what drugs these “mentally ill” shooters were on. We quickly found out what Andrea Yates was on, ebcause there was no anti-gun narrative to prop up.

Another product of psychiatry. The reason we have more crazed nuts is that we have most of the psychiatrists in the entire world.

These violent mental cases are crazy. They don’t necessarily apply a ton of logic to their chosen ideological rabbit hole. They often soak up whatever they see in the news, etc. I’m sure the “bad ass” elements of being a tacti-tard wannabe soldier mattered more to this guy than whatever membership requirements 4chan psychos set up for themselves.
