The Austin bar shooter, identified as Ndiaga Diagne, had a history of spreading hateful messages online, including derogatory remarks towards conservative women and praising the Islamic revolution as “eternal.”
The disturbing social media posts linked to Diagne emerged after the Senegalese national, aged 53, was killed by law enforcement following a violent attack that claimed three lives and injured over a dozen individuals at Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in Austin.
Diagne was found wearing a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt over a shirt displaying the Iranian flag during the assault.
The shooter’s online posts, which are believed to be connected to the US and Israeli missile strikes on Iran, included misogynistic, anti-Semitic, and racist content that was repeatedly flagged for “hateful conduct.”
Expressing his support for the Islamic revolution, Diagne wrote in a post last April, “The Islamic revolution is eternal and here to stay until the end of time.”
He also targeted conservative women such as Laura Loomer and Valentina Gomez with vicious insults on social media.
In a post from October, Diagne referred to Loomer as an “Israel first whâe” and told her to “move to Israel.” He also made derogatory comments towards Gomez, urging her to post her address and questioning her heritage.
Furthermore, Diagne criticized Christianity in his online posts, claiming that Islam is the true religion that will save people in this world and the afterlife.
Additionally, he labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “evil” and criticized Ivanka Trump for her support of her father’s Middle East peace efforts.
