Patrick Crusius: Mexican Nationals and Miranda Rights

patrick crusius: Crusius later waived his Miranda rights and agreed to speak with detectives, telling them he entered the store with an AK-47 assault rifle and multiple magazines, and that he was targeting Mexicans, according to CTV. Twenty-two people were killed and about two dozen were injured. Patrick Crusius, 21, emerged with his hands up from a vehicle that was stopped at an intersection shortly after last Saturday's attack and told officers, I'm the shooter, Detective Adrian Garcia said in an arrest warrant affidavit. Most of the dead had Hispanic last names and eight were Mexican nationals. Many El Paso residents, protesters and Democrats have blasted Trump over his incendiary words, blaming Trump for inflaming political and racial tensions throughout the country. Authorities believe that shortly before the attack, Crusius posted a racist screed online that railed against an influx of Hispanics into the U.S. The document parrots some of President Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric about immigration, but the writer said his views predate Trump's rise and that any attempt to blame the president for his actions was fake news.
