A 27-year-old man was killed Monday after opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, authorities said.

Federal agents returned fire at the man, who had an assault rifle and was carrying a utility vest, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez told reporters Monday morning.

Rodriguez identified the suspect as Ryan Louis Mosqueda.

Law enforcement said they found another rifle and more ammunition. Rodriguez said the man’s motive is currently unknown.

One officer was injured in the shooting. Rodriguez said it was unclear if the injury was from shrapnel or a bullet.

No he didn't. Unless he robbed an army base, he probably had a regular old AR15

opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility ... motive is currently unknown.

Man shoots nazis, motive unknown 🤔

Great re-use of this comic.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Going by recent history?

Probably for not nazi-ing hard enough.

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I dunno, ICE is giving a lot of motivate for people to target them.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah. It really doesn't have to be political brain rot anymore.

Maybe it's not in this case...we'll see. But we're going to have cases of complete normies going "nothing left to lose" after their loved ones or friends are taken/killed by ICE.

Imagine finding out your partner/kids were taken from their job/school. You can't. I can't. There is no law or order that matters to people when the "law and order" are the ones doing it.

And at some point, hopefully, we all realize that those people are the sane ones. The people standing by and watching it happen well...

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Right? Remember when "because they were fucking Nazis" would have been the presumed motive?

Hopefully his shots caught some nazi skulls and nothing else.

If you're last name is "Rodriguez" and you are still working for Border Patrol, you're a traitor.

Most are surprised that a whole lotta border patrol are Hispanic.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Makes sense they'd want to hire Spanish speakers

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh man, you'd be surprised how many Latino white supremacists Nazis there are out there.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I'm Mexican. I shit you not, I've seen a very brown Nazi sporting a bright red t-shirt with a black swaztika and a shit-eating grin while strutting downtown in Guadalajara. I've never wanted to kick someone in the teeth so bad in my life.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are a few random internet people who just live in my head for no reason. Back in like 2016 there was a guy on reddit who would sign all his posts with: Latinos for Trump. I was like: all right, this is the most blatant russian AstroTurf i have ever seen. And i did for the first time ever look through his comment history. Mainly to feel smart, there was nothing I could do with that information. I went back so far, and it was apparently just an average, seemingly nice latino dude who was super into trump. And i never really figured it out why.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Was he in the "I will vote for Donald Trump" music video?

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

We will need a variant of the Darwin Awards for that sort of person. Minorities collaborating with Nazis is a truly special kind of stupid.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

No I really wouldn't be. But it's still disheartening.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Hopefully one day we can build a statue of him.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I can't wait for the movie adaptation

Where's all the people complaining about the lack of people trying to start stuff with feds?

Almost like fighting the way they want to be fought doesn't accomplish Jack and shit.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This tracks exactly with what I say; one person alone can’t do shit.

I bet the story would’ve been quite different had there been 10-20 heroes instead of one.

Solo running a facility as if life is an FPS game where you can just super soldier and out aim everything wasn't the best of ideas.
