If only there were more guns in Texas these things would keep happening.

Allen Premium Outlets Shooting: 8 victims killed, 7 injured; shooter 'neutralized'

ALLEN, Texas - Authorities responded to the Allen Premium Outlets to investigate a shooting Saturday afternoon that killed eight victims and sent others to hospitals, with a victim as young as 5 years old.

The Allen Police Department said one of its officers responded to the outlet mall for an unrelated call, when they heard gunshots just after 3:30 p.m.

That officer "engaged the suspect and neutralized the threat," police said.

There were nine people who died, including the shooter. Seven were pronounced dead on scene, while two others died at the hospital.

Damned shame they weren't all armed with AR-15's or AK's.

Mauricio Garcia wore an RWDS or "Right Wing Death Squad" patch, reports say.

The social media accounts of Allen, Texas, shooter Mauricio Garcia, as well as a patch that contained the acronym “RWDS” for “Right Wing Death Squad,” are being scrutinized as law enforcement attempts to find a motive for the mass murder at a local mall.

That’s according to CNN reporter Josh Campbell, who tweeted that Garcia, 33, of Dallas, had an “extensive social media presence” that included “neo-Nazi and white supremacist-related posts and images that authorities believe he shared online.”

Although police officials have not publicly confirmed Garcia’s name or motive, his identity was reported by multiple news outlets based on law enforcement sources. Garcia was a former security guard who was wearing tactical gear and armed with an AR-15 rifle, according to a state database and video showing his body at the scene.

Garcia gunned down eight people and wounded seven more outside the Allen Premium Outlets Mall on May 6, 2023, Allen Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd said in a previous news conference. Garcia, whose license to work as a security guard was expired in Texas, was shot to death by a police officer who was already at the mall on an unrelated call, Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said in that news conference, although neither official gave his name.

Campbell reported that Garcia “had an insignia on his clothing that read ‘RWDS,’ which police believe stands for Right Wing Death Squad.”

The Washington Post also reported that a patch on Garcia’s chest said “RWDS,” which the Post described as “an acronym that stands for Right Wing Death Squad.” According to The Post, “the phrase is popular among right wing extremists, neo-Nazis and white supremacists.”

Here’s what you need to know:

The FBI Surveilled a Facebook Group Called ‘Right Wing Death Squad’ in 2019, But the Phrase Has Other Usages & Has Been Used by the Proud Boys Group

this is not even the first time the "RWDS"/Pinochet meme has appeared in a mass shooter's repertoire. It was never funny, and it was never actually intended to be. just pure terrorism. https://t.co/y36dTVLCLI pic.twitter.com/lxSTA0bT2o

In 2020, a search warrant affidavit filed in federal court in an Arkansas case, discussed a group with the same name: “Right Wing Death Squad.”

The term has other uses, however. For example, it is the name of an online video game and a song.

The term has also been associated with the Proud Boys group. In one case, a man standing alongside a group of Proud Boys and who was wearing a Proud Boys hat had on a t-shirt that “featured the Proud Boys’ black-and-yellow color scheme and a black-and-yellow flag design, as well as the letters ‘RWDS’- which stands for ‘Right Wing Death Squad,'” according to the Anti-Defamation League.

The New Yorker also reported that Proud Boys members have worn RWDS or “Right-Wing Death Squad—hats and patches; others wore balaclavas, kilts, hockey masks, or batting helmets. One man was wearing a T-shirt with an image of South American dissidents being thrown out of a helicopter and the words ‘pinochet did nothing wrong!'”

Authorities have not revealed whether they believe Garcia belonged to any groups.

In the Arkansas case, the FBI agent wrote in that affidavit that three other men exchanged racist and other messages “about the research, procurement, and development of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), illegally manufactured firearms, ammunition, and ballistic body armor.” Garcia is not mentioned in that affidavit, however, and authorities have not explained why they believe he was wearing an RWDS patch.

The affidavit says the men named in the affidavit “were participants in a Facebook Messenger chat group named ‘Right Wing Death Squad.'” One of the men made a reference to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, the affidavit says. According to Fox2Now, one of those members was a military member stationed in Missouri.

Authorities Are Investigating the Mass Shooting as a ‘Possible Hate Crime,’ a Report Says

Roberto Marquez of Dallas constructs a wooden cross memorial at the scene of a mass shooting a day earlier at Allen Premium Outlets on May 7, 2023 in Allen, Texas. According to reports, a shooter opened fire at the outlet mall, killing eight people. The gunman, who has not been identified, was then killed by an Allen Police officer responding to an unrelated call.

Although they haven’t determined the motive for sure, authorities are investigating the mall massacre as a “possible hate crime,” The Washington Post reported.

According to the Post, Garcia, who had “multiple weapons on him and in his nearby car,” was wearing a patch on his chest that “suggested the potential white supremacist leanings” when he randomly gunned down mallgoers, including a small child. NBC News reported that the patch contained “a right-wing acronym.”

A tattoo was also visible on the suspect’s hand in a video showing him lying dead outside the mall.

CBS 11 news reporter J.D. Miles tweeted that Garcia had “no serious criminal record.”

A series of disturbing videos have emerged showing the gunman opening fire, his body lying bloodied on the ground, and victims lying deceased in a pile outside the H&M store.

Lol.
Anyone remember me just mentioning that the Regime is going down the list of popular right-wing podcasts and platforms to purge counter-signals for the Regime's 2024 election propaganda? ("Tucker Carlson out at Fox News" http://utopiaforums.com/boardthread?id=politics&thread=91541 )

SPLC is trying to link the shooter, Mauricio Garcia, to Tim Pool, who has one of the largest remaining right-wing platforms:
"Garcia’s social media history also suggests he consumed more mainstream right-wing content that overlaps with fringe hate movements. He shared screenshots from multiple episodes of Timcast IRL, a far-right YouTube talk show hosted by Tim Pool, who has a history of platforming extremists as guests. Garcia made a positive reference to Libs of TikTok, the pseudonym of Chaya Raichik, who posts anti-LGBTQ+ commentary on mainstream platforms including Substack and Twitter. He also lauded the activities and beliefs of the white nationalist and antisemite Nick Fuentes, and highlighted more than one of his appearances on easily accessible online talk shows."

I thought that Pool was too moderate for them to bother with, but apparently not. It's purely a numbers game. Pool has a lot of subscribers, so they're going to propagandize associations to force YouTube to take him down. The left is already Astro-Turfing Pool's comment section on Twitter to sell this fable ( https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1655684095358251010 ).

The central trick of the sock puppets is vague references to "white supremacy" which fizzle out as one follows the thread to its source. The Regime has already convinced its useful idiots that people such as Enrique Tarrio are "white supremacists", so, with that false premise in place, the left can subsequently be sold on the lie that Pool must similarly be a "white supremacist" since he platformed a "white supremacist". This is how strong the faulty association is in the mind of the left: they merely need be given the thought-terminating cliché (e.g., "racist!", "white supremacist!") and their reaction is programmed and guaranteed.

And the doublethink has no end.
It does not matter that Enrique Tarrio is not white, that this shooter was Mexican, or that Pool his half-Korean. The Regime has also convinced the left's useful idiots that one does not need to be white to be a white supremacist. This is part of their "Mega-Identity" propaganda, which is the formation of large groups into absolute political positions. A left-wing person cannot, for instance, be a "TERF" and remain among the left any longer. The left has closed that Overton Window such that anyone who wishes to be a TERF on the left must be silent so as not to rouse the suspicion of the left's ever-watchful totalitarian eye.

Conversely, anyone willing to publicly contradict the left must be the left's absolute enemy — not even a moderate, like Pool in reality, but a "far-right" "extremist[]", like Pool in the Regime's psychosis/simulation. The Regime accelerated this strategy after 2016 to polarize voters, since an obvious fallacy of association is not a barrier that troubles a totalitarian state.


And why, then, did this shooter don his tattoos?
Disregarding the MK Ultra narratives for the moment (e.g., that the CIA invented this person on a Russian social media site as a false flag), the simple reality is that right-wing groups around the world are being conditioned by this Mega-Identity propaganda into becoming the enemy that the left wants them to be. A trap of the false-naming of groups such as "Antifa" (i.e., a fascist group that tricks low-IQ people into believing that it is against fascism by simply mislabeling itself) is that their presence generates their own opposition. Foolish observers believe that anyone they oppose must be "fascist", and low-IQ people who wish to oppose Antifa believe that they must actually *become* fascist in the most obvious of ways. This circularity creates a nested deception, where low-IQ people looking for evidence are given "evidence" that was merely generated by a group which created its "evidence" by generating reactions.

this is a deranged gusano MAGA

"The lengthy posts discuss mass shootings, including at school. He says he moved toward right-wing ideology, and some of his posts are racist and anti-Semitic, showing idolatry toward Nazis and Adolf Hitler. He described himself as an incel filled with hatred toward women and a loner who was angry at his parents, society, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and more. His profile picture is a yellow smiley face with a Hitler mustache. He also had a YouTube account in the name Dusty Shackleford, but it’s now deleted. His Facebook page is deleted."

Except the Mauricio Garcia who actually committed THIS crime was only 33 years old, he was discharged from the US Army for mental health issues, and had worked as a private security guard, which he had to be licensed for by the state of TX.

The border has shit to do with this.

Because that would be unconstitutional.

"... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

It doesn't say anything about citizens or criminal histories or any such thing.

Musk doubles down on his claims that there's no evidence the Allen, Texas mall shooter had white supremacist beliefs, and that
