Mauricio Garcia, the man who shot and killed eight people and injured seven others in a shooting spree at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, posted neo-Nazi and incel content to a Russian website and to YouTube.

Garcia, 33, whom police shot and killed at the scene of the massacre he perpetrated, posted to the Russian site Odnoklassniki, or ok.ru, handwritten material indicating that he read The Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website. He also made repeated references encouraging violence against women, celebrating rape and murder, and using the vocabulary of the male supremacist incel, or involuntarily celibate, community.

Garcia’s social media history suggests he has a long history with fringe radical-right internet communities, due to the frequency with which he referred to their esoteric symbols and memes. He posted to Odnoklassniki photos of hand-drawn symbols associated with the radical right, including “Deus Vult” crosses, SS lightning bolts, swastikas and references to “right wing death squads,” a meme that celebrates extrajudicial killing on behalf of a fascist state. He also drew and posted photos of helicopters, which reference the killing of dissidents under the 20th-century regime of authoritarian Chilean President Augusto Pinochet. Garcia also shared photos that appear to be selfies on Odnoklassniki showing that he tattooed the logo of the Schutzstaffel, or SS, a Nazi-era paramilitary organization, and a swastika on his body sometime between 2022 and 2023.

Garcia also posted lengthy misogynist tirades to his Odnoklassniki account, often using derogatory terms for women, including “sandwich maker” and “baby factory,” along with more typical slurs. He reposted content from a forum popular among incels using the words “foid” and “Stacy,” terms incels use to dehumanize and stereotype women. One post that appears to be written by Garcia was titled “Nymphet,” a term coined by Vladimir Nabokov in his novel Lolita and favored by his pedophile protagonist to sexualize young girls.

Garcia’s “Nymphet” post begins, “I hate women. Their [sic] I’ve said it.”

In another post, a photo of a handwritten document with the Batman insignia drawn at the top, Garcia detailed the racist intersections of his misogyny, expressing particular animus toward Indian women. One of the victims of his massacre at the Texas mall was a young engineer from India.

1. Mauricio Garcia isn't a common Nazi name

[ck4829]

3. There shouldn't be ANY common Nazi names

[Solomon]

4. What is a common nazi name?

[AZ8theist]

5. Perhaps you mean "not a common white-supremacist" name?

9. The appeal of Nazism for Latinos is completely bonkers

but is way more common than some may realize.

Even the Nazi site Daily Stormer has a Spanish language version.

The rise of white nationalist Hispanics

The famous ones here are Nick Fuentes and Enrique Tarrio. Although Tarrio and his supporters *ALWAYS* use his Afro-Cuban heritage to deflect charges of white supremacy since he clearly isn't white.

16. +1, that's how I've seen it for a while that WS use PoC to deflect not to be involved with their ...

... movement like the GQP does with women and PoC.

18. GOP will pull out a Ben Shapiro or Candace Owens for similar reasons

19. At one time, the Irish weren't considered "white" either

At least, not "English" white---it's one of the reasons some Irish-Americans adopted the prevailing anti-black sentiments, becoming as bigoted as the rest of the country (that, and they were competing for the same low-level work as free blacks--see "How the Irish Became White" by Noel Ignatiev)

Hate who the bosses hate, it's how you get ahead.

14. Check out the names of the leaders of the Proud Boys.

6. "I hate women" I'm sure women did not like him either.

7. A century of Reich wing policies in this country reaps the current rewards.

A nation of poorly educated rubes due to constant Reich wing attacks on public education.
Keep the populace dumb, so the oligarchs can steal the country's wealth without a whimper.

Civics is a lost knowledge on generations of Americans.

Repuke POLITITIONS don't know how our government works. Except how to suppress the vote or gerrymander entire populations out of existence. THAT they are good at.

"Gays, guns, and god" is rammed down our throats. Meanwhile, 99% of the population falls further behind every year since the rubes CONTINUOUSLY vote against their own best interests.

"They're coming for your guns!!!" is the mantra anytime a Democrat wins an election. "They" is never defined, however.

Now it's "defund the police", or "woke ideology", or prayer in schools, or drag shows, or book bans, or CRT.

The Reich wing has taught generations of followers nothing but how to hate, and who you should hate.

Meanwhile the caskets pile up.

Thank you for this! And thank you, SPLC!

13. Credit to the DUers who predicted he was an incel.

17. If he was a voter likely an avid GOP supporter.

Let's find his voter registration, or any campaign donation mentions. I bet he was cool with the GOP at least some of the time, though maybe they were too liberal for him.
