Texas Mall Shooter’s Alleged ‘White Supremacist’ Views Surface on Social Media

According to a Pentagon statement, the man suspected of the deadly mass shooting in a Texas outlet mall, Mauricio Garcia, had been “terminated” from the U.S. Army after three months of entry training due to physical or mental conditions. The statement came after a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation claimed that Garcia had been expelled from the military for mental health reasons.

Garcia, who was engaged by a police officer and killed after the attack, had attempted to join the Army in 2008, but he did not make it past the basic entrance period. An Army official confirmed that Garcia was discharged under the 2005 edition of Army Regulation 635-200, paragraph 5-17, which pertains to other designated physical or mental conditions.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Army, Heather J. Hagan, confirmed that Garcia was not awarded any military occupational specialty during his brief stint and had no deployments or awards. However, Hagan declined to disclose whether Garcia was discharged under honorable circumstances.

The issue of the Allen mall shooter’s potential motive has been a contentious topic since there are alleged signs that the Hispanic man was a “white supremacist” with neo-Nazi beliefs.

In the man’s alleged social media posts, he showed off ostensibly fresh tattoos of Nazi symbols and the symbol for the city of Dallas.

Why are the Allen mall shooter's tattoos so damn fresh?

Aric Toler, a researcher for Bellingcat, a think thank that has frequently contracted with U.K. and U.S. intelligence agencies, laid out in a Twitter thread the alleged Texas mall shooter’s Russian OK profile, which had virtually no views before it was discovered.

Took a while, but I found the Odnoklassniki profile of the Allen. TX shooter described in this NYT article:

Flashback to @IwriteOK‘s 2019 Bellingcat article on how mass shootings have been “gamified”, with the Allen shooter talking about a “decent kill score” in Nashville.

He was trying to be the Zodiac Killer I guess

His personal politics were very hard to figure out

The Allen shooter was apparently a @Timcast fan

@mentionsWorth noting that the Allen shooter didn’t have any friends or groups on his OK profile — he used it like a personal diary. He may have chosen OK because it has virtually zero content moderation.

Christ, just noticed this — he was at the mall where he did the attack 3 weeks prior. He was monitoring the peak visiting times on Google.

Receipt for the Kit that the Allen, TX shooter bought back in 2020, posted a few weeks before the shooting. He also posted photos of his weapons.

Boxes upon boxes of ammunition that he apparently received a few weeks before the shooting. These photos were posted at the same time as pictures he took at the Allen Mall.

I guess we’ll never know if this guy was a liberal or fascist or anything else, oh well

Calling someone a violent incel has lost a lot of meaning in the last few years with the term being so overused. But yeah it fits here.

Also, it’s the same apartment that he posted back in December 2022 on his OK page.

I wonder if the Allen, TX was a white supremacist? If only there was a post that he made himself where we could find out, in context of him being Latino himself.

His ideology will forever be a mystery

One last thing, noticed by @JakeGodin: the Allen shooter was a big fan of @libsoftiktok and signed off on one of his posts with “Heil Hitler”

Pretty sure they are actually his tattoos. Here are the Texas, 10/6, and Punisher tattoos that he posted previously. All three are visible in the Nazi tattoo photos.
(The neck tattoo mugshot guy is a different person with the same name)

The Allen mall shooter’s alleged “white supremacist” ideology will undoubtedly fuel more mainstream speculation about the Hispanic man’s ties to “right wing” influencers. When a trans activist commits a heinous murder of Christian children, however, Americans are not allowed to see a “manifesto” that might show us more about the motive.

Everything has become political; and indeed, that may be part of the problem fueling mass shootings.
