White supremacy attacks another form of terrorism

A MASS SHOOTING AT A WALMART STORE IN EL PASO, Texas, in the United States, on Saturday claimed 20 lives and left another 27 injured. Gong Honglie, an associate professor of anti-terrorism studies at Nanjing University, comments:

Within 24 hours of the El Paso shooting, there was another mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, which killed at least nine people and injured at least 16. While loose gun control policies in the US should be blamed for both tragedies, the El Paso case has shown a new trend in the terrorism that is causing headaches for the US.

According to the official news release, the suspect Patrick Crusius is a 21-year-old white male, and he is believed to have previously expressed support for the Christchurch mosque shooting that killed 51 people in a statement on an online forum. In the same statement, the suspect also justified violence against Hispanic immigrants with white supremacy theories.
