The SPLC’s Hatewatch reports:
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.
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 shared screenshots from multiple episodes of Timcast IRL, a far-right YouTube talk show hosted by Tim Pool, who has a history of platforming extremists as guests. Garcia made a positive reference to Libs of TikTok, the pseudonym of Chaya Raichik, who posts anti-LGBTQ+ commentary on mainstream platforms including Substack and Twitter.
Read the full article. There’s much more. No paywall.
New: Mauricio Garcia’s social media trail touched neo-Nazi content and misogynist incel filth.
But he also referenced Tim Pool, VDARE, Libs of Tik Tok and Nick Fuentes. A Trump-era cluster of hate:@hannahgais, me, Rachel Janik and @MeganSquire0:https://t.co/W4hDuXm6Jd

The far-right over the last 24 hours:
1. There’s no evidence the Texas shooter was a neo-Nazi
2. Okay, he had neo-Nazi patches on his tactical vest but that was IRONIC
3. Okay, he might have been a neo-Nazi but it was government mind control that made him that way pic.twitter.com/BSSKOrR96b

Watching @GOP-aligned far right mouthpieces try to explain away the growing pile of neo-Nazi content around the Texas shooter really is a work of art.
Surely the government must have PLANTED all those Timcast episodes on the guy’s computer!

Mauricio Garcia was radicalized by far-right neo-Nazi ideology, and he probably expected he’d be praised as a true blood-and-soil martyr. Instead, the same far-right MAGA extremists Garcia died for are labeling him a false flag Antifa liberal.

Wow. The Allen, Texas mass shooter’s profile on a Russian social media site has been found. He posted a photo of Nazi tattoos and “reconnaissance” photos of the outlet mall weeks prior. He also posted the right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool. (per @AricToler) pic.twitter.com/BnebamBumi
