Patrick Crusius drove 10 hours to get to a Walmart located at the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas where he killed 20 people and injured over 40 others before being arrested by the authorities.
Thus far, it is believed that four children and 3 Hispanics have died in the horrific massacre. It has been confirmed that Crusius left several posts along with a lengthy and hateful manifesto on social media where he confessed to being anti-Hispanic and anti-immigrant.
And many have taken to social media to share some of President Donald Trump’s incendiary tweets where he shared anti-Hispanics and anti-Mexican messages.
In the manifesto that has now been shared on multiple media outlets, Crusius spoke about the “invasion of Hispanics…” and asked white Americans to react.
The mass murderer, who used white supremacist language, said Hispanics are invaders who will take over America as the Europeans did with the many natives they massacred for their lands.
The 21-year-old man also said in his hateful manifesto that his goal was to kill as many Mexicans as possible.
In his writings, Crusius, who is from the Dallas/Fort Worth area, said he supported Trump’s Republican Party and appreciated the harsh immigration policies that the administration has put forward in the past months.
Crusius revealed his love for the Christchurch mosque shooter, Brenton Tarrant.
He wrote: “In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion. Some people will think this statement is hypocritical because of the nearly complete ethnic and cultural destruction brought to the Native Americans by our European ancestors, but this just reinforces my point. The natives didn’t take the invasion of Europeans seriously, and now what’s left is just a shadow of what was. My motives for this attack are not at all personal. Actually, the Hispanic community was not my target before I read The Great Replacement. This manifesto will cover the political and economic reasons behind the attack, my gear, my expectations of what response this will generate, and my motivations and thoughts.”
Crusius went on to say: “Due to the death of the baby boomers, the increasingly anti-immigrant rhetoric of the right and the ever-increasing Hispanic population, America will soon become a one party-state. The Democrat party will own America, and they know it.”
The mass murderer claimed: “I just want to say that I love the people of this country, but g*d d*** most of y’all are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.”
Many witnesses of the El Paso Walmart shooting revealed that Crusius walked in and started randomly shooting people walking in the aisles.
President Trump reacted to the shooting with a tweet that read:
Terrible shootings in ElPaso, Texas. Reports are very bad, many killed. Working with State and Local authorities, and Law Enforcement. Spoke to Governor to pledge total support of Federal Government. God be with you all!

Former Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who is one of the 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls from Texas, had this to say about the mass shooting: “I’m thinking of El Paso, and I want you to be thinking about El Paso as well. Keep that sh&t on the battlefield. Do not bring it into our communities.”
There is now a debate on control, the Second Amendment, and mental health in this country.
One person reacted to the news by saying: “If everyone were allowed to have a gun ppl would think twice before shooting. Why you think Russia and America haven’t nuked each other. The evil will always get a gun. Only the defenseless suffers from gun laws.”
.Another commenter stated: “Carry a gun. Fixed. That’s how you stop crazy people from murdering you. We have the second amendment for a reason. Guns exist, and it’s your god-given right to protect yourself. I own three guns, and I have never killed anyone because I’m not a psychopath. But at the same time, if anyone tries to kill me or those around me, I will kill them first.”
This social media user made this point: “This is called Terrorist Attack not mass shooting why u all always shy about terror when it comes to other religion except Islam?????I’m so beyond sick of this. How many more people have to die for change to be made?? This is absolute insanity.”
This voter opted to blast Trump for his anti-immigrant rhetoric: “Trump is personally responsible for every one of those deaths because he refuses to unleash Homeland Security, FBI on White Supremacist in the United States Of America.? Trump has opened the gates of hell to empower these young white male TERRORISTS to radicalize into mass shooters ? And Republicans will only offer thoughts and prayers.??”
Do you think this will change something in the current political landscape?
