Nothing Changed Since El Paso!

One year ago, a white terrorist opened fire on innocent shoppers in El Paso.

The city of El Paso is planning a virtual tribute to the 23 victims of the 2019 mass shooting. A white terrorist drove from North Texas to massacre innocent shoppers at a Walmart in order to trigger a race war.

The mass shooting was one of three mass shootings that happened in a period of seven days. One was in California at a festival and another in Dayton, Ohio which I will discuss the next day.

August 3, 2019 will be the one of the memorable moments in U.S. history. It was the most deadliest attack on Latinos in modern history.

Two back-to-back mass shootings.

The need for gun reform was ignored by Donald J. Trump, Republicans and the National Rifle Association. They found the need to stop these mass shootings as a distraction.

This attack on people of color was sparked by a white extremist's virtuent hatred of immigrants and Hispanics living in the United States. Sparked by the rhetoric of conservative agitators and white extremist propaganda, this terrorist wrote a manifesto calling for the extinction of those who destroyed the norms of America.

Trump's appearance in El Paso wasn't welcomed.

The lives lost in this attack were American, Mexican and German.

Jordan Anchondo, Andre Pablo Anchondo, Maribel Campos, Arturo Benavidez, Javier Amir Rodriguez, David Alvah Johnson, Sara Ester Regalado Moriel, Angelina Silva Englisbee, Adolfo Cerros Hernandez, Juan de Dios Velaquez Chairez, Gloria Irma Marquez, Maria Flores, Maria Eugencia Legarreta Roth, Raul Flores, Jorge Calvillo Garcia, Alexander Gerhard Hoffman, Elsa Mendoza de la Mora, Luis Alfonzo Juarez, Ivan Filiberto Manzano, Margie Reckard, Leonardo Campos, Jr., Teresa Sanchez and Guillermo "Memo" Garcia.

Their lives were taken by this terrorist.

The August 3rd shooting happened at the Walmart near the Cielo Vista Mall in East El Paso.

The terrorist carried a WASR-10, a smaller version of the AK-47 and opened fire on shoppers shortly after 10:30 am (CST).

The store manager witness the terrorist open fire in the parking lot prior to entering the store. Walmart ordered a "Code Brown," designating that an active shooter is on the property. Store workers and shoppers would immediately scatter from their lanes to evacuate and hide.

Many shoppers abandoned their properties to run towards the fire exits and dressing rooms or shield themselves from the gunfire. Some hid under tables and took cover in the backrooms.

We mourn those loss and continue to demand change.

The law responded to the calls of a shooting within six minutes. The El Paso Police, Texas Rangers and paramedics responded to scene as well as the FBI.

The shooter would immediately flee from the store and drive at least three miles before the law stopped him and detained him without any gunfire.

The casualties were massive. There were 23 deaths and 23 injuries.

Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) and the 37 U.S. Representatives were notified about the tragedy that day. Each of them offered their usual "thoughts and prayers" and "my heart goes out to" nonsense.

Trump ordered the flags to be lowered half-staff to show solidarity.

Meaningless platitudes.

Demands for Walmart to stop selling firearms were heard but ignored. Trump and Congress were pressured to do something on gun violence. To this day, the House of Representatives has pass bills in regards to gun reform. The U.S. Senate refused to pass legislation and we continue to have more mass shootings since.

The terrorist immediately faced state and federal charges for the attack. He noted that in his manifesto, he cited the white nationalist theory of the Great Replacement. The terrorist believed that whites are being snuffed out by racial integration, immigrants, cancel culture, political correctness and an aggressive media towards Trump.

Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's just meaningless platitudes and I am getting sick and tired of folks posting on social media saying they have their condolences for those killed by gun violence.

THERE IS NO GOD.

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

The unrepentant terrorist appears in a state trial.

The El Paso massacre was one of the latest in a string of many other mass shootings where no one is safe. It happens in schools, places of worship, movie theaters, shopping malls, banks, convenience stores, workplaces, government facilities, festivals, clubs and the home.

THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC . 

INSTEAD OF WORKING TOGETHER ON SOLVING THIS MAN-MADE CRISIS, WE RETURN TO SAME SHIT. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF COVERAGE, WE MOVE ON TO ANOTHER CONTROVERSY. THEN LATER ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING AND IT WOULD BE WORSE THAN THE LAST ONE.

The race of the suspect doesn't matter. The nationality doesn't matter. The religion doesn't matter. The motive doesn't matter. The terrorist managed to find a way to outmaneuver the law. He managed to inflict harm over a period of five minutes before the law put an end to the carnage.
