#Teen responsible for last wk's #SanDiego #Mosque shooting had previously been involuntarily hospitalized, was on radar of local authorities for over a year due to known online radicalization to nihilist #RWNJ , #massshooter idolization & #Nazi views.

The youth was also featured in an article on a conservative opinion outlet detailing his objection as a white student complaining about how he was being forced to take a mandatory class that included exploration of the harm's of #WhitePrivilege . The article has since been deleted but exists here on the #InternetArchive https://web.archive.org/web/20250628072907/https://www.iwfeatures.com/reports/this-california-family-is-fighting-back-against-a-mandatory-white-privilege-curriculum/

#Extremist behavior and complaints from school officials had led #ChulaVista police to seize dozens of his family's guns after a " gun-violence restraining order" was placed re: mentally unstable #CalebVazquez a year before this apparently preventable attack...

Vazquez had told school & psychiatric professionals he idolized Adolf Hitler and was gathering information about him and mass shooters on the “dark web.”

According to the police, a restraining order was placed on his father's weapons stockpile , after officers said Vazquez, spoke of a “day of retribution” and “expressed fascination” with #massshooters who conducted bloodbath incurring gun attacks in Isla Vista; El Paso; Norway and elsewhere. 

His family filed sucessfully to get the guns confiscation rescinded within weeks, and has since issued a statement through #lawyers in which they purport to have empathy for their child's victims, despite self righteously supplying the arms that killed all of them....

“Coming from a diverse family that not only includes immigrants but #Muslims as well, we always taught the importance of acceptance, #compassion, and love for one another. We are proud of the different backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, and religions within our family and community,” his family issued statement said.

National cabinet agrees unanimously to strengthen Australia's strict gun laws in wake of Bondi terror attack

An urgent meeting of national cabinet agrees to strengthen Australia's gun laws in the wake of the Bondi Beach shooting.

ABC News

"It was a tale of two media worlds. In the United Kingdom, the headlines on Monday morning told us that the killer who waged a deadly attack on a Mormon church in Michigan on Sunday was a Trump supporter. …

But back in the United States, not only was that fact not in the headlines--it was either ignored or buried in the article."

U.S. Corporate media ignores that man who waged deadly attack on a Mormon church was a Trump supporter

This fact was covered by international media but not US

The Dean's Report by Dean Obeidallah

"Sarah Posner … explains how this all sheds light on a bigger story that we saw at play after Charlie Kirk’s assassination too. It’s that Trump and MAGA relentlessly inculcate a sense of persecution among their armies of evangelical supporters, to rally them for religious war against the Democratic, liberal, secular enemy within. Thus far, in this case, the facts aren’t cooperating."

"Investigators are still examining the motives driving Thomas Jacob Sanford, who opened fire on a Mormon church in Michigan, killing four people. Yet White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt quickly linked the killing to an alleged rash of anti-Christian violence."

Trump Press Sec’s Vile New Effort to Exploit Mormon Shooting Backfires

As the White House works to take political advantage of the horrific mass shooting in a Michigan church, an expert on the religious right explains how this illuminates MAGA’s broader Christian nationalist project.

The New Republic

"No national conversations about the violent capacity of cisgender men. No discussions about whether white people who fly massive American flags on the backs of their trucks should have their guns taken away. No presidential proclamations casting suspicion on the identity of this mass shooter. Cisgender combat veterans will not spend the days after this tragedy fearing that their rights will be stripped away because of the actions of one man."

"the truck rammed into the church flew two large American flags and bore an Iraq War veteran plate. The shooter was no Muslim, no trans person. He was a Trump-supporting combat veteran—a cisgender white man who fit the profile of so many American mass shooters.

Just like that, the story faded from the political radar. There were no calls in the aftermath to investigate Trump supporters as potential terrorists."
