🚨 A Taco Bell cashier in Palatine, Illinois decided that Indian people were subhumans who needed to be killed. He did not arrive at this conclusion in a vacuum. For months he watched politicians call Indian visa holders “indentured servants.” He watched propaganda spread across social media about Indians running scams, holding fake degrees, stealing jobs. He watched online mobs call them roaches, vermin, demon worshippers, filthy invaders. He watched elected officials stay silent through all of it. He wrote an eight-page manifesto. He loaded an AR-style rifle. He put on tactical body armor bearing white supremacist patches. He put gasoline cans in his car. He drove to the largest Hindu temple in Aurora on Day 1 of Navratri, pulled the trigger, and the gun jammed. He called his coworker from the car. Said the gun jammed. Sent photos of the rifle. Sent a photo of himself in full tactical gear. Sent the manifesto. The coworker called the police. One gun malfunction. One decent human being. That is all that stood between a Hindu congregation and a mass shooting and fire on Navratri. This is what unchallenged hatred produces. His rifle was loaded with the words you chose not to challenge. #Hinduphobia #Palatine #AuroraTemple #WhiteSupremacy #ProtectHinduTemples
