‘Liberal’ mom left sobbing amid questions she radicalized shooter son?
A post by conservative activist, Laura Loomer on X stated, ‘She is a Democrat who makes social media posts attacking elected Texas Republican lawmakers who support the Second Amendment.’
Adding, ‘Just another example of FAILED Democrat parenting. Joshua Jahn is a radical Leftist with a Democrat mother who spews her hatred on social media.
‘She has made several posts on Facebook attacking pro-second Amendment Texas Republicans like @tedcruz and @GregAbbott_TX
In one post she posted on Facebook on May 25, 2022, the shooter’s mother following the tragic mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas in 2022, the mother posted a lengthy letter condemning Texas officials for their handling of gun laws.
Joshua Jahn mother previously wrote to Texas officials complaining about gun violence
Read the letter: ‘Governor Abbott, Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz how does it make you feel that your action to open up gun laws is responsible for the killing of 21 more people? Do you secretly sit in front of a tv and smile a demented smile? You must be proud of all the money that sits in your bank accounts from gun lobby support. Was it worth it, Governor Abbott? How about you senators?
When you prioritize money over people this is what you get.
Here is my hope:
‘May you be reminded of the deaths every time you spend that precious blood money you have received from the gun lobby. Hope you think of it 100% when you attend the NRA meeting in a few days. Senator Cornyn, I realize you suddenly had something in DC come up where you won’t be attending. It’s unfortunate you don’t even have the spine to stand up to the NRA and tell them the real reason you aren’t attending. You are a coward, a spineless coward.’
Wrote Loomer, ‘Joshua Jahn is a product of failed Democrat parenting and the Radical Left.’
Joshua Jahn’s brother says shooter wasn’t interested in politics
The above comes following the 29 year old sniper shooting ‘indiscriminately’ early Wednesday morning at a Dallas ICE facility leading to 2 detainees killed, one critically injured along with the gunman killing themselves.
Although the sniper appeared to target migrants in ICE custody, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on X that the shooting represented an attack on ICE and law enforcement.
Addressing reporters, the FBI said that the shooting was ‘an act of targeted violence,’ against the ICE facility with recovered bullet casings having etchings with the words, ‘Anti-ICE’.
Jahn was confronted by The Independent following the shooting, while she was sobbing.
‘I’m sorry, I can’t talk to you right now. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. But I just can’t talk to you now,’ she told the outlet.
Investigators said that they are still establishing a motive, but believe the shooting may have been fueled by anti-law enforcement sentiment.
Authorities continue to investigate.
