The manifesto written by accused El Paso mass killer Patrick Crusius is the basis for the argument that the shootings were inspired by President Trump. (Snip) Much discussion was spurred by an article in the New York Times with the headline, "El Paso Shooting Suspect's Manifesto Echoes Trump's Language." The story quoted just 28 words of the nearly 2,400-word manifesto. It noted that Crusius specifically wrote that his views "predate Trump." And it warned that "linking political speech, however heated, to the specific acts of ruthless mass killers is a fraught exercise." Nevertheless, the Times declared that even "if Mr. Trump did not originally inspire the gunman,

Yes, I have.
And in my humble opinion, it was not written by a 20 year old 'slacker'. It was written by a more educated, mature person (or persons). The conservative sounding portions could have been written by me or several other commenters on this site. The rest could have been written by Saul Alinsky or Bill Ayers.
Again, in my opinion, it was written in a manner Machiavellian enough to confirm to any reader, right, left or center their prejudicial notions about whoever they hate.
It was written not to explain the murderer's actions, but to rile up the entire nation and bring us one step closer to 'civil war'.
I suspect that it was written by a member or members of "The Deep State" ,

This kid is 21. Read the prose that is quoted here.
I also question the authorship of this manifesto. I hope that others begin to do the same.
There are numerous oddities about the events in El Paso. This is only one of them.

Yes, #2. I have thought so since the Sandy Hook shooting. But, I believe that the end game has always been gun confiscation. Each “mass shooting” we get a little closer. These events are like vote fraud. No one on the right wants to even look at it.

Never heard the media say he was a registered Democrat. It was in his manifesto.

I'm still waiting to hear about the Las Vegas shooter or shooters. No hotel videos. No "Manifesto". Nothing. The FBI closed the book on that one with no explanation mighty quick. And the media just went right along. Move on, nothing to see here.

Yes, #4; confiscation is the short term goal... and when / if they try to do it in one fell swoop, that will bring on the Civil war (Or perhaps Revolutionary War II is more apropos?) quicker than anything I can think of.

Very interesting. And these shooters say things that are true.
FTA:
" "This crisis of mass immigration and sub-replacement fertility is an assault on the European people that, if not combated, will ultimately result in the complete racial and cultural replacement of the European people," Tarrant wrote.
Much of what the El Paso shooter wrote is exactly correct. but much is just envirowhacko propaganda.
As a matter of fact, almost ALL of his concerns about the environment are just pure BS, or 90% BS built on a tiny shred of truth, a fake mountain made of a real real molehill.
The difference is not of opinions, but it is of their chosen 'solutions'. They chose to kill indescriminately, without any authority and without any legitimacy. This is wrong. Very, fundamentally wrong.
Our soldiers should be using deadly force, if necessary, to defend our borders from this LITERAL invasion. There is absolutely no doubt that it IS an invasion.
I don't give a rat's hind end if the invaders are Hispanic, African, from Ireland or France, this is not about ethnicity. These border jumpers, these invaders are NOT Americans and they are coming her illegally, dishonestly and we should STOP them, by whatever means is required.
But it needs to be done under the law, by legal means.

I have no doubt that he wrote it.
He has the intelligence to recognize many problems, real and imagined, and he has been so terribly, horribly propagandized by the econazis that he believed that all sort of things that ARE NOT REAL are happening, and that added to his dispair.
The environmental propagandists are truly evil, scaring the hell out of our young people. We really need to stop this, counter this propaganda.

It is very interesting to finally read what all of the "Trump caused this" BS is about. Today's so-called journalists are all too lazy to read for themselves, or are too dishonest to acknowledge, the actual contents of the shooters manifesto. If they were true reporters or journalists, they would report the actual contents without their liberal Trump Derangement Syndrome slant.

The shooters manifesto sounds more like an AOC speech, BETO, Sanders, Warren, Booker, Harris, (Name your Democrat candidate) speech. Except for the sentence or two which could be twisted to refer to Pres Trump, this sounds like a left wing Democrat campaign ad.

I, along with others on this site, find it hard to believe a 20 year old slacker wrote this manifesto. The words used are not from a 20 yr old, but from someone older with more experience. Now, maybe he did write it, but the prose sounds like someone with a college degree.

#13, and others.... I think that this guy is pretty intelligent, and observant, and a reader. It is unfortunate that a lot of what he has read, especially the enviro stuff is lies, and he bought them. Apparently he traveled to France, too.

A prime example how the media, instead of reporting news, push their narrative

As to whether or not he wrote it, my question would be - what else did he write previously, and how does it compare? And it would be rather curious if there are no other writings.

Like every drive-by media propaganda outlet, they lie and people die.

But, as Byron tells us, the NYT did not link the manifesto, nor did any other publication, preferring to just use snippets. Byron HAS read it and found that there was nothing there to implicate President Trump as his guiding force. On the contrary, his views on the environment and social issues could have come from even the pages of the NYT...
