Suspect in El Paso massacre 'didn't hold anything back' in police interrogation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The suspect in the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, “didn’t hold anything back” when he was interviewed by investigators, the city’s police chief said Sunday.

Greg Allen also said “it’s beginning to look more solidly” that the suspected gunman was the author of a manifesto, posted to the website 8chan about an hour and a half before the rampage began, that warns of an “invasion” of Latino immigrants and expresses support for the man who killed worshippers at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March.

Although authorities still have not formally identified the suspect, his name has been widely reported as Patrick Crusius, 21. El Paso jail records show a Patrick Crusius was booked Sunday on state charges of capital murder.

Allen did not elaborate on what the suspect told authorities.

Jaime Esparza, the El Paso district attorney, said he will seek the death penalty for the state murder charges. John F. Bash, the U.S. attorney for the western district of Texas, said he is considering bringing federal hate crime and firearms charges. Bash said he is treating the attack as an act of domestic terrorism.

Sounds like he's proud of what he did.

[malaise]

1. Of course he is

very proud

[procon]

2. Of course he's proud and probably thinks he's a hero.

Like any cult convert he believes he was acting perfectly normal. He can't believe that he's a monster, that he brainwashed himself by spending all his time listening to sociopaths on fringe, rightwing fascist forums who are just as warped and evil as he is.

Everything he read, the TV shows he watched, hate radio hosts and celebrity commentators, made everything seem normal. Even, Trump who he clearly listened to, further normalized his bizzarro thinking that violence and mass killing was the only proper action to save the country.

Now multiply this racist whacko times the thousands of other gun toting, radicalized white supremacists and it's plainly only a matter of hours or days until the next one repeats this mass shooting spree.

4. +1, "Of course he's proud and probably thinks he's a hero"... after his lord and savior Donald Trump

... calls him a coward and a punk and says he'll send him to Gitmo if he could then the rat terrorist will know he's done something stupid.

Oh wait ...

There's no way his lord, savior and Putin Whore Donald Trump will do this ... so yeah, he'll feel like a hero

7. He let himself be taken alive

because he realized that a trial is one more chance to spew his hate.

8. He thinks he's a hero.

He probably thinks Trump will pardon him, and maybe Trump will, or give him a shiny medal so he can show off on all the rightwing TV shows. He's a proud white boy and just as he spoke openly to the cops, he can't wait to talk with reporters and brag about his racist manefesto.

10. Trump can't pardon anyone convicted or charged with a crime under state laws. n/t

3. He'll punk out in solitary confinement, they all do ... they're all cowards to the nth degree.

5. In his manifesto he said he expected to die

I'm glad they took him alive. Maybe we can learn how he became such a monster.

[flamingdem]

6. Like Isis members he's become brainwashed

We can reduce the online white nationalist hate party if we want to - it HAS to happen.

9. That guy is everyone of them. All the right-wing supporters. All of the Nazi-Republicans
