The Gilroy shooter has been identified as Santino William Legan, 19. His instagram was just taken down, but before it was, I saw a post from the festival right before the shooting that said “Read ‘Might Is Right’ by Ragnar Redbeard,” which is a misogynist white power manifesto.
I’m not saying the shooting was racially motivated- I think this guy just hated everyone. But this is a fact worth knowing.
He was able to cross state lines to Nevada to legally purchase an AK-47 to murder those children.
New report: All of the extremist killings in the US in 2018-2019 had links to right-wing white supremacy extremism, according to new report.

Gilroy shooter legally bought the assault-style rifle on July 9 in Nevada, where the Gilroy native was living with family. The shooter also self identified himself as a white supremist.
