Investigators are examining a screed believed to have been posted online by the suspect in Saturday's fatal shooting at a Texas shopping mall an hour before the attack, senior law enforcement officials say.

Investigators are “reasonably confident” that the suspect, identified by police as Patrick Wood Crusius, 21, of Texas, posted the diatribe on the extremist online forum 8chan before the shooting.

Terrorism experts warn that nothing should be taken at face value in the propaganda material left behind by hate crime suspects, which aim to provide fodder for social media pickup and mainstream media coverage.

The screed posted to the anonymous extremist message board railed against immigrants in Texas and pushed talking points about preserving European identity in America.

The speculation on these news stories by the news, entertainment and social media instead of waiting for the facts to come out is mostly the propagating of agendas and covers up and hides the truth.

2016 - FBI leaked to MSM and then investigated based on MSM articles

Not too much of a jump to think

FBI planted manifesto on an anonymous site and then say manifesto belonged to perp

Obama’s FBI killed any credibility the FBI had in the first place

there is soemthign that doesn’t smell right about that ‘manifesto’- most sickos rail agaisnt govenrment, or a group of people, or soem system- and that is the sole focus of their rants- they don’t take time out to describe the weapons they are gonna use- or how they work- and lament about not having more powerful weapons- but this fella took time out to describe using an AK instead of an AR and lamenting that the AK wouldn’t work the same way as an AR-

It sounded to me like the freak might have been an anti-gun liberal who was willing to die in order to bring about gun restrictions because his ‘manifesto’ was almost like it was ‘explaining to everyone’ how bad guns are in his opinion- it’s like he wrote it to manipulate those who read it after he was gone if he were to die- looks like he was wanting to be a Marty re for an anti-gun agenda to me-

Maybe it’s just my suspicious nature- but I just found it really odd that he goes from rant to full blown explanations about guns which he seems to be trying to paint as evil-

Absolutely. They have NO credibility whatsoever....zilch!
They should be disenfranchised. They’re corrupt to their very core.
I’d trust a rattlesnake before I trusted those SOBs.

4:02 PM wasn’t before the shooting. At least not anywhere in the US.

The FBI reported one of their handguns "stolen" on the same night NEAR THE SCENE of Seth Rich's murder..

Great way to DESTROY ANY POSSIBILITY OF BALLISTICS EVIDENCE, eh?

We have news that changes by the minute. And now police officers are reasonably confident in something legal like. Beam me up Scotty.
