Rolling Stone reports:
The suspected mass shooter who killed at least eight people at an Allen, Texas mall on Saturday frequently posted pro-white supremacist and neo-Nazi materials on social media, according to an FBI bulletin reviewed by Rolling Stone.
The FBI’s “review and triage of the subject’s social media accounts revealed hundreds of postings and images to include writings with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist rhetoric, including neo-Nazi materials and material espousing the supremacy of the white race,” the bulletin reads.
The document also says the alleged shooter was discharged from the military in 2008 amid “mental health concerns.” Investigators believe the shooter was a neo-Nazi and an “incel,” according to an internal email circulated by Texas law enforcement.

The suspect – who is a US citizen – also previously reported a lost firearm to authorities, which police believe allowed him to then modify that same firearm in an attempt to make it harder to trace.

Despite this history, the Texas gunman was able to procure an AR-15-style rifle, a handgun, tactical gear, 10 rifle magazines and six pistol magazines. More handguns and rifles were found in his car.

This is Jeremy Bertino, one of the Proud Boys who just pled guilty to seditious conspiracy on January 6. See the patch he’s wearing that says “RWDS” (Right Wing Death Squad)?

Sorry, Marge. The shooter *who your gun fetish policies helped arm* wore a Right-Wing Death Squad patch and visited white supremacist sites. But go ahead and try and use this as a way to smear Hispanics. pic.twitter.com/s71A87GpdB

Also: Seeing a lot of blowback to WaPo and WSJ saying Mauricio Garcia may have had white supremacist ties, given his race. So periodic reminder that there’s a long history of POCs advancing and supporting Nazi/white supremacist goals/ideology. pic.twitter.com/W51RNlIFzQ

The acronym, which stands for “Right Wing Death Squad,” is a popular insignia among white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and paramilitarists. https://t.co/BO1i6vdPTL
