The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

If this guy really drove from Allen to El Paso to murder people... that's like driving to Albuquerque, or St. Louis, or Nashville, or New Orleans

Little poo poo should have just done the world a favor and driven his car off a loving cliff into the W. Texas desert. gently caress him, and a sort of gently caress you to the cops that arrested him without firing a shot at him.

He probably heard how it was one of the safest major cities in the US and wanted to take care of that. No good deed...

EDIT: Apparently some dude in Ohio just tried to outdo the dude in El Paso - vest, AR-15 and the rest of it.

As soon as I heard that it was a young male that drove all the way from Allen (whitebread suburb of Dallas) down to an El Paso Walmart to committ his mass murder I thought "probably a CHUD who wanted to kill Hispanic people".

Yeah, apparently you were literally exactly correct and that's what he said. I mean yeah, given what part of Texas he was from, not a shock he's really, overtly racist, but Jesus.

Also some Spanish language forums I was googling through mentioned he wrote some sort of supremacist manifesto, but I can't find it. Don't know if the person was confused or I just can't find it. They could be confused, he is from East Texas, a manifesto is a whole lot of words.

Someone is doing the legwork of matching up his statements with Trump's tweets and right wing media. Hard work mostly because nearly every line matches something:

He did indeed write a 4 page manifesto, and to no one's surprise, he was indeed an extremely-online white supremacist chud who wanted to shoot some Hispanics. I’m glad you’re having trouble finding it, these shitheads don’t need their nonsense amplified any more than it already is.

If you were wondering if right wing media types feel the same:

Bellingcat has a good write up on the distribution of the manifesto that goes into how this stuff generally spreads online. That part probably isn’t news to goons, but it’s a good summarization nonetheless.

We have 6 Dems running in this primary. I personally think Kim Olsen will win, she has the right credentials for the area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLtxLWJgHZo

I'm a precinct chair in this district and Candice was out block-walking a couple of weeks ago so she is putting in the groud work. I didn't get to discuss her policies too much though.

Really though none of the candidates I have seen have the presence that Kim has.

Seriously. One of his biggest strengths in his senate race was leaning on his El Paso native status and talking about being from and having love for his border community. He's been more scattered in this presidential race when he has a special position as a former representative of a border community, and so he comes off as just another generic white guy running. If his campaign goes nowhere else, it should be used to elevate that narrative from his senate race. (I know Julian Castro has also already done great work in this area of elevating issues around immigration.)
