The suspected mass shooter who killed at least eight people at an Allen, Texas mall on Saturday frequently posted pro-white supremacist and neo-Nazi materials on social media, according to an FBI bulletin reviewed by Rolling Stone.
The FBI's "review and triage of the subject's social media accounts revealed hundreds of postings and images to include writings with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist rhetoric, including neo-Nazi materials and material espousing the supremacy of the white race," the bulletin reads.
The document also says the alleged shooter was discharged from the military in 2008 amid "mental health concerns." The Defense Department did not immediately return Rolling Stone's request for comment.
Investigators believe the shooter was a neo-Nazi and an "incel," according to an internal email circulated by Texas law enforcement.
On Saturday, a man, identified in law enforcement documents as 33-year-old Dallas resident Mauricio Garcia, opened fire at an Allen Premium Outlets. The suspected shooter was killed by police at the scene, where several of the victims were found deceased. Nine additional victims were later transported to the hospital. Another two victims later died at the hospital.
Garcia had no criminal history but is believed to have been associated with a local neo-Nazi group, according to the email. He previously reported a lost firearm to authorities, which police believe allowed him to then modify that same firearm in an attempt to make it harder to trace, according to the law enforcement documents reviewed by Rolling Stone. The suspect is a U.S. citizen who has never applied for a passport, the law enforcement documents also noted.
Garcia was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun, according to law enforcement emails. He was also wearing a tactical vest with an "RWDS" patch — a reference to "right wing death squad," which is a term used by white supremacists. He had 10 rifle magazines and six pistol magazines on his body. More handguns and rifles were found in his car, according to law enforcement emails.
The investigation into the shooter's motives is ongoing.
I guess Mexicans can be white supremacists after all.
Being a white supremacist is just one of those jobs Americans won’t do. Have to outsource it.
Are you surprised that some Mexicans are white?
Next pointless question gets deleted.

I must wonder about ammosexuals' fantasies. Do they imagine themselves rushing to put down a shooter?
Or do they imagine themselves as the shooter?
Do you ever wonder about ammophobes?
No. What's to wonder about?
Just taking note of America's unbeatable record of 199 or 200 mass shootings in 2023 to date - works out to be 11 mass shootings per week, helping to prove just how "EXCEPTIONAL" America is. Saw a story on Crooks & Liars about a guy just sitting in his car minding his own business getting shot in the neck I don't know how ANYONE can argue that they are safe from being shot in America.
Statistically, individual people are safe.

True. There's only one gun death per thousand Americans each year.
Every year, a resident in America has a 99.9% chance of not dying of a gunshot.
Of course... that translates to a less than 10% chance of reaching the age of 68 (Americans' life expectancy) without dying of a gunshot wound. Probability is a bitch.
There is also the question of what is the worth of being statistically safe when people express fear of being in public places. The American experience is degraded. People "know" it is unlikely they will be killed while shopping for school supplies for the kids, but will still be looking over their shoulder. It is a tragedy for this country.
John... the kicker in my post is that a baby born in America today has a ninety percent chance of dying of a gunshot wound.
That means that it is perfectly rational to fear for one's life.
That may be the dumbest thing i have seen posted here ever, i would ask you to show your work, but you obviously can't
Another outright lie.
Not lets do the math for those who want the actual truth, instead of complete bullshit peddled by people with no integrity.
115 X 365 = 41,975 now 1 in a thousand would be 41975 X 1000 = 41,975,000 Since the population is 332,280,000 the odds are not 1 in a thousand. Some people just cant make a honest comment when it comes to guns.
I used John's number, American population, American life-expectancy. It's simple math.
Ummm... over thirty thousand gun deaths in America every year
Guns are now the most common cause of death for American children.
But hey! Let's party!
The National Safety Council says your chances of being killed in a gun assault is 1 in 208,
Lol. That explains a lot.
Use common sense if the math is too hard. Gun violence used to be higher, so you would expect that the percentage of people who died from gun violence would have been higher in recent years.
Ask yourself, if over 90% of the people you've known in your life who've died have died from gunshots?
3.5 per 100,000 under the age of 18.
Wow! That's even worse. Run the numbers
Oh, and... I have consistently said "deaths by gunshot". I have not said "killed in a gun assault."
You need to learn probability. At no point have I said that.
Run what numbers?
I'm 68 so I must be lucky.
that translates to a less than 10% chance of reaching the age of 68 (Americans' life expectancy) without dying of a gunshot wound
This is crazy on every level.
he’s wrong on the simple fact of life expectancy, let alone basic understanding of numbers.
Respectfully, I have to disagree as demographics play a large part in what you say. The percentage of one dying from a gunshot wound is significantly different in metropolitan/urban areas as opposed to semi isolated rural areas.
So prove it. Show us Bob that you didn't lie, if you can.
Hard to argue with talking points and willful ignorance.
They don't die? Their lives don't matter?
WTF!
Do you imagine that I care what some ignorant fool thinks, or somewhat alternatively what you think?
Do the teeny-tiny bit of googling that is all you need... if knowing the facts is actually important to you.
Yes, I know. Interesting that they included 19 years old.
If you’re trying to assess the risk to your child or a child you know, you have to to dive deeper than national averages. In 2020, child victims by race:
White 11%
Black 32%
Hispanic 8%
Native A 19%
You can get stats focused on their primary location as well.
Please tell me where I said that.
I was just asking...😉
Okay.
So the answer is no, you can't back up the ignorant bullshit comment, thanks for confirming.
Not at all. I could lay out the proof, but since you have no intention of changing your mind, I won't waste my time.
Thanks for sparing us all.
I've decided that feeding pearls to swine is not useful.
How long did you spend on that decision? Have you always lived on a hog farm?
Discretion being the better part of valor perhaps?
