Police say that Patrick Crusius, the suspected shooter in Saturday’s El Paso massacre, confessed that he was targeting “Mexicans” when he opened fire at a Walmart, killing 22 people, according to the Washington Post.
American capital punishment has a lot of practical problems which leave me firmly against its use in nearly every case, but if this herostratic garbage were a rabid dog, it would be destroyed and tossed in an unmarked grave and the world would not be lesser for it.
CBP’s got their Wag-the-Dog scenario to try to deflect heat from the boss:
Of course, guys. Mexican drug cartels just hate CBP so much that they’re going to open fire on it to create a real war at the border that would fuck with their supply lines.
“Police say that Patrick Crusius, the suspected shooter in Saturday’s El Paso massacre, confessed that he was targeting ‘Mexicans’ when he opened fire at a Walmart, killing 22 people…”
Patient Zero in this Epidemic:
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
Patrick Crusius is going, I predict, to waive counsel, represent himself, plead not guilty, and turn the well publicized trial into a forum for his white nationalist thoughts.
Isn’t Texas a Stand-your-Ground place? So if these folks feel threatened by all these armed MAGAts, aren’t they legally authorized to shoot them?
Especially in the wake of El Paso, it’s entirely natural to be worried that the dude with an AR-15 on his back may flip it over any second and start shooting, so best to get the first shot in before he can.
and while “reading” his Teleprompter he had all the inflection and believability of a 6-year-old forced to stand up in front of the class and read an apology for misbehaving.
