1. People there look mostly Hispanic

There you go.

Another young man radicalized by right wing racist screeds bout being "replaced."

3. We should probably wait before pronouncing motive...

Just in terms of the larger picture however, Nick Fuentes is a White Nationalist.

Look him up. At least 50% Hispanic on his father's side. Some people within our culture prefer to look down on other Latinos and will often side with "White Culture".

We call them Vendidos where I come from. Just because you have a Latino name doesn't mean you are down with the Raza.

6. Well that really crappy too.

And I mean We call them Vendidos where I come from. I had to look that term up, and I find it pretty disgusting, personally. I like learning new stuff but when its a derogatory name or word I wish I did not learn something new.

8. So you find the term disgusting? How about the looking down on your culture?

How about the selling out of people with the same experiences as your own in favor of a culture that will not accept you?

Sure, terms are much more damaging that actual actions and activities that demean where you come from.

10. Well I am personally never going to cast someone away.

I am accepting of everyone. The pubs are the ones I see trying to be split groups apart. Divide and conquer is normally what they try to do. Do you really think having a term for that will help bring the person back, or alienate them? edit to add there used to be a term used when whites hung around or dated blacks. I put your term right up there with it.

11. It is on them to return. Not me to chase them.

If they stop being a vendido. I will certainly accept them back.

12. see my edit above.

5. Absolutely....

Let us not let the media protect the accomplices...the online racist, white nationalist, tucker Carlson's minions, the NRA and NRA loving governors like Abbott, who have weaponized these people.

Gunman is NOT ALONE>>>>.

4. It's okay to not know.

7. do you want speculation?

It was a soft target for a suicidal/homicidal young male. He wanted to make everyone suffer like he suffered.

But we'll never know because he's dead.

9. I don't think so.

NBC was saying the shooter first killed his grandmother. Very strong Sandy Hook deja vu.
