Why Would Two Jew-Hating Teenage Incels Shoot Up a Mosque in San Diego?

Posted on | May 24, 2026 | No Comments

Well, what else do we expect of murderous weirdos, huh? If what you’re looking for is logic and rationality, homicidal adolescents probably aren’t the first place you’d look. Monday’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego was perpetrated by Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, who fled the scene in a BMW and were both found dead inside the car, from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. They left behind a “manifesto” that was getting partially quoted in the media which, however, would not provide the actual manifesto itself. Because this is not my first trip to the rodeo, I knew exactly where to find it: KiwiFarms. Never has a more useful online resource had such a bad reputation. If there is some newsworthy information that the media establishment is eager to suppress (e.g., the “dead name” of transgender freakazoid), KiwiFarms is where you look.

Click here to see the “Sons of Tarrant” manifesto, the title of which is a major clue: Clark and Vazquez meant the title as a tribute to Brenton Tarrant, who in 2019 killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand (“Like ‘Call of Duty’ IRL: Aussie Gunman Massacres Muslims at NZ Mosque,” March 15, 2019). Tarrant himself modeled his attack on that committed in Norway by Anders Brevik in 2011, which produced 77 dead and more than 300 injured. In summary, Tarrant was a copycat of Brevik and these two weirdos in San Diego were trying to copycat Tarrant, but they failed miserably in terms of body count.

In terms of graphic design, the “manifesto” authors did a creditable job, but we’re not here for art criticism. The “Sons of Tarrant” wished to justify their murderous rampage, which ended after only three killings, although they may have had further targets planned. And what was their argument? The core of it from Page 4 of their “manifesto”:

The Universal Enemy
Everyone has their own idea of who is to blame for all the wrong in the world, they will say its the government, the elite, the rich, the politicians, the 1%, the left, the right, the capitalists, the communists, the illuminati, the fags and trannies, the immigrants, and many more. All of them can be traced back to be or be caused by one group, the jews.

IT’S THE JEWS
IT’S THE JEWS
IT’S THE JEWS
IT’S THE JEWS

The Jews across all of time have been behind an EXTREMELY disproportionate amount of the world’s problems, whether that be from war, famine, exploitation of children, rise in degeneracy, infighting of peoples, political killings, the separation of family, the departure from the Church, the White race’s replacement, mass immigration, central banking systems, and so on, it has always been and always will be, the Jews. There is no moderate option to this problem, they’ll always rise back to power or do the same again wherever you exile them to, for any sane man seeing all this the only logical solution would be to just kill them all.

Recall the KISS Principle: Keep It Simple Stupid.

This one-factor explanation of “all the wrong in the world” certainly meets that metric of effective messaging, but it violates basic logic — the cause is insufficient to the claimed consequence. Whatever sinister intent you attribute to “THE JEWS,” they are too small a minority to account for “all the wrong in the world.” Furthermore, it could be demonstrated, this simplistic view attributes to Jews many wrongs that they could not possibly have caused, and which prominent Jews have in fact opposed.

It has been noticed, by the way, that once the identity of the San Diego killers was determined, their background examined, and the contents of their “manifesto” widely available for scrutiny, the mainstream media lost interest in this story. The 24/7 coverage on CNN ended abruptly, without explanation. A full understanding of the factors involved simply doesn’t fit the preferred narrative. The demented deadly duo disavowed any ordinary “right-wing” classification, with Caleb Vasquez writing, “I am certainly not left wing, nor am I right wing especially not with Maga or Trump, politically I’d call myself a Third Positionist specifically aligning most with Nationalist Socialism and Eco Fascism.” Irrational nihilism — destruction for the sake of destruction, murder for the sake of murder.

Beyond that, however, is the possibility that mandatory “ethnic studies” courses in high school may have played a role in radicalizing these weirdos. Last year, San Diego journalist Amy Reichert interviewed Cain Clark’s mother who “said her son was mandated to take an Ethnic Studies class to graduate from [high school]”:

According to the mother, the first two weeks focused on “whiteness” and “white privilege.” She said Cain, who is mixed race with Indonesian heritage on his father’s side, felt uncomfortable in the class and believed it was teaching him to view himself and his white family members negatively.

There is no doubt in my mind that the identity-obsessed worldview promoted by this kind of “woke” curriculum is toxic. Although most kids aren’t going to become mass murderers as a consequence, it is certainly not harmless to lecture teenagers about “white privilege,” etc.

There was some “incel” rhetoric about “foids” in the killers’ manifesto, but isn’t that to be expected? If you could get laid, you wouldn’t be engaging in this homicide-suicide spree, would you? And the parents tried to get help for their lunatic kids, but it didn’t work:

Caleb Vazquez, one of two teens responsible for the mass shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, was on the autism spectrum and influenced by hateful rhetoric online, his family explained in a heartfelt apology.
“Over the last several days, our family has been trying to process the horrific actions carried out by our son against the Islamic Center San Diego Community,” the 18-year-old’s family said in a statement released by attorney Colin Rudolph. . . .
Vazquez and 17-year-old Cain Clark stormed the mosque, opening fire and killing the three Monday before fleeing in a white BMW. The teen terrorists livestreamed their entire attack.
At the encouragement of Vazquez, Clark, sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, shot Vazquez in the head twice with a pistol, killing him. Clark then turned the weapon on himself.
The family recognized the attack caused devastating and irreversible pain for the victims, their loved ones and the broader Muslim community, adding that no apology could ever make up for the loss and trauma inflicted by Vazquez.
“We reject hatred, extremism, bigotry, and violence in every form. We stand firmly against the ideology and actions that led to this tragedy. These actions do not reflect the values we raised our family with or the beliefs we hold in our hearts,” Vazquez’s family said. . . .
“Our son was on the autism spectrum, and it is painfully clear to us now that he struggled not only with accepting parts of his own identity but also grew to resent them,” they said. . . .
“We believe this, combined with exposure to hateful rhetoric, extremist content, and propaganda spread across parts of the internet, social media, and other online platforms, contributed to his descent into radicalized ideologies and violent beliefs. While there is no excuse for his actions, we have come to recognize how dangerous online spaces are that normalize hatred,” the statement continued.
The family said they tried many times to help Vazquez through his “mental instability,” though they admitted, “We will forever live with the burden of wondering whether there was more we could have done to help prevent this senseless tragedy.”

Do you know what “5150” means in California?

Fifteen months before Caleb Liam Vazquez gunned down three men at the San Diego Islamic Center, Chula Vista police got a court order to remove his father’s numerous firearms.
Vazquez, 18, was undergoing mental health treatment in the days before Monday’s deadly attack, having been previously involuntarily hospitalized by authorities. . . .
Vazquez came onto authorities’ radar in January 2025, when concerns about his mental health arose. Chula Vista police filed a gun violence emergency protective order against his father, Marco Vazquez, with a police officer writing the teenager “was involved in suspicious behavior idolizing Nazis and mass shooters.”
Police had acted after being alerted to the teenager’s writings on social media . . .
According to the San Diego Superior Court records, the officer noted that Caleb Vazquez “was placed on a 5150 hold” — where a person is deemed a danger to themselves or others and involuntarily detained for 72 hours — and that his father, who had 12 registered guns, refused to “allow officers to confirm if firearms were stored properly.” . . .
According to a law enforcement source, the FBI was alerted to Vazquez’s behavior — something that happens regularly in thousands of such incidents nationwide.

Yet another mass murderer who was on the FBI’s radar ahead of time. It’s almost as if there’s no point bothering to call the cops at all:

The two hours before Monday’s deadly attack at the San Diego Islamic Center were marked by a series of frantic calls by the mother of one of the attackers as short-staffed police struggled to assess the seriousness of the threat and scramble officers to find the gunmen.
The mother of 17-year-old Cain Lee Clark first called police at 9:42 a.m., about two hours before the first reports of an active shooter at the center. Police did not arrive at her home to speak to her until 11:10 a.m., according to sources with access to call logs.
In between that time, the mother had called at least two more times, with greater levels of concern, the sources said. Those calls were enough for police to elevate the incident, more than an hour after the initial call.
It’s unclear exactly what the mother told police during the first call, but police officials have said it came in as a “runaway juvenile,” and was classified as a “Priority 2,” one of the two law enforcement sources said.
Multiple law enforcement officials said the waiting time between the mother’s first call and when an officer was dispatched was on par with similarly classified calls.
According to data recently released by the city in a public records request, the average response time for the department for a Priority 2 was more than two hours as recently as March. The San Diego Police Department had been dealing with staffing shortages, which emerged as an issue earlier this month amid budget talks.
The mother provided more details about her son in the subsequent calls, the sources said, and that prompted police to elevate the case to a Priority 1 call.
A terrorism liaison officer was brought into the case at 10:54 a.m., the sources said, sparking a scramble to find Clark. When the call was upgraded, a patrol car with two officers was sent to the mother’s home. They arrived at 11:10 a.m., the sources said.
By that time, one of the law enforcement sources said, officials at Clark’s school were alerted and data from license plate readers were being scanned for any sign of the stolen car. Police received two hits for the license plate — both prior to the shooting, including one at the Fashion Valley mall about six miles away from Clark’s home. The car was not there by the time an officer arrived, the sources said.
According to recordings of dispatch audio from San Diego police reviewed by The Times, dispatchers told officers in the field at approximately 11:05 a.m. to be on the lookout for a “possible terroristic threat.” The dispatcher reported that a 17-year-old boy named Cain Clark left at 6:30 a.m. from his parents’ house with another teen.
He took a shotgun and additional guns out of his parents’ gun safe, according to dispatch records. “He wrote a note on the computer saying ‘I’m too far gone and this is going to happen anyways,’” the dispatcher said. The teen left in a white BMW X1 and turned his location off on his phone, the recording said.
Clark was described as wearing a camo baseball cap, a camo jacket, black pants and black boots. The second suspect was said to be wearing an army green baseball cap, camo jacket and army green camo cargo pants.
Police officers were interviewing Clark’s mother when the first reports of a shooting at the Islamic center came in at 11:42 a.m.

So the police were short-staffed because of the city budget, and it took more than an hour for the police to understand that this wasn’t just some routine “runaway teenager” call, and while the cops were still interviewing the mom, her son and his autistic buddy were already shooting up the mosque. Just a total clusterfuck.
