Asshole Patrick Crusius’ manifesto was published by Drudge and I got a copy saved before it gets taken down or gets filed away.
He is not fond of Hispanics, that is fo sure. And the rest of the document is a long rant against Democrats and Republicans and by the language he is more an Anarchist in the traditional sense than anything else. He hates Republican support for Corporations than in turn require immigrants to produce and the Democrats are happy to provide.
He rails against pollution, via farming and oil drilling. Denounces urbanism as a killer of millions of acres of land and the “consumer culture” for producing unnecessary plastic. And paper towels kills millions of trees. He ends up condemning all of us because our lifestyles are leading to perdition. Again, he sounds more like an Anarchist than anything else.
He goes on to talk about weaponry: WASR-10 as rifle and 7.62×39 8M3 rounds which he happily comments they “fragment like a pistol hollow point” which makes me think he gets his gun info from video games rather than true sources. I checked a couple of gelatin tests and for a rifle round, it indeed fragments and had just a penetration of 10 inches in ballistic gel.
He goes back railing against Hispanics and Corporations. Suddenly he makes a turn and says that deporting and murdering “all non-Americans” is bad and instead every race should be given a territory. He promises he will not surrender and won’t be captured alive and if he is, he was subdue somehow. From what little is out there, he did surrendered rather quickly at the presence of overwhelming power.
This is interesting and about the only thing I am gonna quote from the manifesto:
My ideology has not changed for several years. My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that.
Damn, even a whacked out job like this can predict with accuracy what the Media will do even before the manifesto was released and we got a peek on this asshole’s mind. Of course, I do not expect anything else but the Media Narrative to continue on the same path.
So at the end of the day, we have another antisocial loner (according to former school mates) who hates people like me and corporations and consumer products and suburbs and God knows what else. A classic Anarchist.
Sounds like it. Classic nutball. I’m just grateful he wasn’t smart, brave and/or resourceful enough to pick a more effective means of killing people.
The trial will be interesting.
Update: looks like we just had another one in Dayton, OH. Outside a bar, perp wore body armor according to initial reports.
FYI
I get a “address is invalid” error from Safari for the link to the manifesto.
My mistake. I know better than trying to link a plain TXT file. Saved and uploaded in PDF.
Thank you. It works now.
It’s very odd how he doesn’t mention Jews. None of these manifestos do.
[…] media has reported that the El Paso shooter was a white supremacist with his manifesto and his activities all over […]
