1. I guess we'll have to wait for more info--this doesn't tell us much.

5. Yesterday some here were saying he was white guy.

Why do some always say something incorrect?

[Kaleva]

6. Yesterday, I saw a pic of him. He looked Latino to me.

But I didn't say anything in response to the people here who said he was white

[milestogo]

8. There was a picture on twitter

but I thought he could have been white, hispanic, or light skinned black.

[Kaleva]

18. I saw his body on Rumble

There was a large pool of blood by his head

[moonscape]

14. Yes, one report mentioned a translator and

I went with the odds it was for Spanish with his parents.

10. Many Latinos identify as white.

Ethnicity is a separate category from race. The choices are usually "Latino/Hispanic White" or Latino/Hispanic African American." Or "Other."

12. Strong Copium Here. -NT-

[yardwork]

13. No idea what you mean.

15. Copium:

A metaphorical opiate inhaled when faced with loss, failure or defeat, especially in sports, politics and other tribal settings.

The effects of copium include, but are not limited to: extreme rationalizations for the defeat, outlandish theories of conspiracy supposedly perpetrated by the opposing side, extreme rage directed at the other side, unconvincing allegations of fraud and abuse in the system, and rejection of the system as a whole.

16. I learn new things daily on DU nt

[treestar]

24. not so

hispanic is not a race.

They can be white, black, indigenous and mixed.

Watch a Spanish soap opera from Mexico some time. You'll see the white ones.

Those with indigenous blood will be depicted as lower class and comic.

Mexico has terrible anti-black racism - makes the US look relatively good.

[Nevilledog]

20. You're wrong.

Many white supremacist orgs consider Hispanics to be white. Learned all about it when dealing with a large scale prison drug case. Aryan Brotherhood & Mexican Mafia partnered up.

During interviews the Aryan Brotherhood members considered then white.

There are many articles about Hispanics espousing white supremacy

17. internet racists had already identified him as nonwhite given police needed translator at parent's

house. They assumed that meant Spanish speaking. Which of course allowed them to imply the usual racist crap.

2. A security guard who likes who shoot customers

[Chainfire]

3. It doesn't matter if he is a third generation American Citizen

the right-wingers will be screaming about "illegals."

[Arazi]

4. Anyone can buy a gun in Texas now, regardless of immigration status

They can scream all they want about that red herring but fact remains this is the Texas that Gov Abbott wanted

[yardwork]

11. Right. Many people in Texas have Hispanic names.

A lot of their ancestors were here long before mine. Some of them by tens of thousands of years.

[milestogo]

7. Did he write a manifesto?

There's always a manifesto.

9. First reports are often shaky. It often takes 2 or 3 days to start getting some real facts.

Conspiracy theories are very quick, though.

19. Kick nt

[JI7]

21. Many Latinos are right wing gun nut racists that identify with Trump

and other racists.

[Nevilledog]

22. The gun are only a part of it. I linked several articles up thread.

Huge part is anti-Blackness.

[JI7]

23. Yes, I would say they tend to be more anti black and racist than most white republicans

and of course the pro gun thing and opposition to gun control is also about anti black racism.

25. Just saw his pic
