to Jack Kirby's iconic 1941 comic where Captain America punches Hitler. Kirby came from a Jewish immigrant family. And in Rodriguez's version, El Peso Hero similarly delivers a punch, or “trumpazo,” to Trump in defense of Americans of Mexican heritage and Mexican immigrants.Now, the recent mass shooting in El Paso has given Rodriguez a heightened sense of urgency to defend his Texas community’s history, stories and values.
“Knowing that the shooter lived one mile away from where I create El Peso Hero, where I plan the Latino comic con, it goes against everything we do as a community,” said Rodriguez, who is a fifth-grade teacher and lives near the suburb of Allen, where the suspect in the El Paso shooting had been living with his grandparents.The 21-year-old suspect drove 10 hours from Allen to the border city of El Paso, where more than eight-in-10 residents are Hispanic.
officials told NBC News they believe he posted an anti-Latino manifesto writing about a"Hispanic invasion." For Rodriguez, the shooter's screed aims to distort Mexican American history and stir anxiety and fear in a community where many families are already affected by immigration detentions and deportations.
“We have a history of different groups being called foreigners and invaders,” Rodriguez said."But we need to remember what we are all part of, what we have done together as a country.”
These poor humans are died by guns from the drug dealers or from the trump racist radical followers. That is the only purpose of guns to kill the innocent and the poor.
Sounds like this Hector guy agrees with Trump. Drug-Traffickers are bad hombres.

House lawmakers demand 8chan owner testify on El Paso manifestoThe fringe website, known as a haven for white nationalists, has faced a wave of scrutiny after the El Paso shooting on Saturday, which left 22 dead. O.k. I agree with the thought that you should not continue to use the word “manifesto” when describing some idiot racist’s rant. It makes it sound elevated & well-crafted. Racist Tweets/spewing crap is not a “manifesto.” It’s just a publicly placed tirade of hate.

Trump, El Paso, and the Gateway to RadicalizationThe El Paso shooter was a right-wing exile—but on the internet, every exile can find a home WTF? The Internet does the exact opposite of all those things.

Alleged El Paso gunman influenced 'by people we do not know': FamilyFamily of man who allegedly killed 22 people at a Walmart in El Paso and reportedly told investigators he intended to kill as many Mexicans as he could says he was 'influenced and informed by people we do not know.' Well why didn’t they say something to the police I mean, they didn't KNOW Donald Trump (like he doesn't have dinner w/ them and regal them w/ racist stories of Central Park) BUT they know who Donald Trump is. I don’t blame one person. Because we all hear the same message and we don’t all immediately reach for our assault rifles. The message that is falling on deaf ears is that no one should have the right to purchase a weapon like that for protection, hunting, or recreation use.
