The deadly shooting last week at the Islamic Center of San Diego was the latest in a chain of White supremacist attacks that experts say have evolved from organized neo-Nazi groups into sprawling online radicalization.<\/p>\n

As investigators work to understand how the two teens accused in the attack became radicalized, experts say the path increasingly begins in ordinary online spaces that can funnel\u00a0people toward extreme views and violent ideologies.<\/p>\n

What once spread primarily through meetings, flyers and racist pamphlets now moves rapidly through mainstream social media, gaming platforms, encrypted chats and anonymous online forums.<\/p>\n

But the underlying patterns remain familiar: conspiracy theories, coded language, spaces that normalize hate and an ecosystem that encourages copycat violence.<\/p>\n

Addressing this attack begins with recognizing that this kind of White supremacist violence is nothing new in the U.S., experts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a throughline that does not stop,\u201d said Amanda Rogers, who studies extremist groups at the Century Foundation, a progressive think tank. \u201cIt\u2019s not a resurgence, it\u2019s a continuation and evolution of the same design, unbroken.\u201d<\/p>\n

San Diego County\u2019s extremist past<\/h4>\n

Police said Caleb Vazquez, 18, and Cain Lee Clark, 17, arrived at the Islamic Center of San Diego around 11:43 a.m. Monday, armed and wearing camouflage.<\/p>\n

They first encountered security guard Amin Abdullah, 51, and engaged him in a gunbattle. Abdullah has been hailed as a hero for using his radio to alert people inside the Islamic Center\u2019s mosque and school to find safety.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Vazquez and Clark then cornered and killed congregants Mansour Kaziha, 78, and Nadir Awad, 57, in the center\u2019s parking lot. The two men have also been described as heroes for drawing the shooters away from the building.<\/p>\n

The teens drove off and, a few blocks away, shot at a landscaper but missed. They drove a few more blocks before stopping in the middle of the road and killing themselves, police said.<\/p>\n

A 75-page manifesto bearing the teens\u2019 names spews White supremacist and neo-Nazi ideology, as well as feelings of\u00a0resentment and social isolation.<\/p>\n

Their rhetoric echoes themesthat have long circulated through White supremacist movements \u2014 grievances about what they believe is social decline, racial replacement conspiracy theories and calls for violence popularized by figures such as former San Diego County resident Tom Metzger, a neo-Nazi leader and Klansman who founded White Aryan Resistance in 1983.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Metzger lived in Fallbrook for nearly four decades and spent much of that time actively recruiting followers. One of those followers, Chuck Leek \u2014 who has since renounced those beliefs \u2014 said Metzger found fertile ground in San Diego County.<\/p>\n

With its proximity to the border, Metzger cultivated followers by using immigration to polarize people, Leek said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody who thinks that San Diego County, or Southern California as a whole, or California as a whole is a liberal bastion that doesn\u2019t have these problems is sadly, sadly mistaken and isn\u2019t paying attention to the history,\u201d Leek said.<\/p>\n

In many ways, Metzger set the stage for how White supremacists operate today, Rogers said.<\/p>\n

In recruiting, Metzger sought out young people who had no criminal record or tattoos, people who could more easily fly under the radar, including those in the military and law enforcement, Leek said. He instructed followers to avoid formal group names, organizing and a leadership structure to make the movement harder to take down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey pioneered this lone wolf strategy exactly to pretend there is not an organized movement,\u201d Rogers said.<\/p>\n

Today, some organized groups still exist, but extremism generally operates in a more nebulous and anonymous form, where there\u2019s no formal organization but extremists share and spread the same tactics, language and ideas, experts said.<\/p>\n

In their purported manifestos, the Islamic Center shooters cited several previous White supremacist mass killers as influences, including the gunman who murdered 51 people at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019 and the 19-year-old who, a month later, attacked Chabad of Poway synagogue, killing one person and wounding three others.<\/p>\n

Years ago, extremist beliefs were much harder to find online.<\/p>\n

Pete Simi, professor of sociology at Chapman University who studies extremist groups and violence, said hateful ideologies are today increasingly spreading through mainstream online spaces, including gaming platforms and social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s been a kind of pipeline that we\u2019ve seen, where the games are relatively innocuous popular games, and then they\u2019re meeting other people who are already into this particular subculture,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd they get introduced to it, exposed to it that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Simi said the process is often less about someone seeking out extremist material and more about constant online exposure. Radicalization can deepen as people move from mainstream platforms into fringe spaces, like the messaging platform Telegram, where they may encounter propaganda, bomb-making manuals and encouragement to commit violence, he said.<\/p>\n

He described this radicalization as a \u201cfunneling process.\u201d Many people may encounter extremist content, but a much smaller number ultimately commits violence.<\/p>\n

\u2018A hole in their life\u2019<\/h4>\n

Hate spreads easily online for two reasons, said Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate.<\/p>\n

For one, social media platforms have scaled back their content moderation rules and enforcement in recent years.<\/p>\n

Also, their algorithms favor hyper-emotive content, such as conspiracy theories, because they hold people\u2019s attention for longer. That means they are designed to elevate anger and fear over facts and tolerance, Ahmed said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHate actors have found that social media is the perfect way to get both their hate and the lies that underpin their hate to a mass audience,\u201d he said. Those lies then become reality for people who spend their lives on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe drip, drip of misinformation and lies and hateful attitudes slowly re-colors the lens through which people see the world,\u201d Ahmed said. \u201cAnd if you\u2019re a 16-year-old \u2026 who doesn\u2019t get moral advice or instruction from elsewhere, social media can be the main way in which they decide the way the world is.\u201d<\/p>\n

What drives a person to embrace extremism? Leek said many buy into it because they crave a sense of self-worth and belonging.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t have anything that makes them feel worthy, so then they decide the color of their skin is what makes them feel worthy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re looking for a sense of belonging and camaraderie that they\u2019re not getting in a healthy way. There\u2019s a hole in their life that they\u2019re trying to fill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young men tend not to think about consequences, Simi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a very simplistic way to put it, but one of (the manifestos), at one point, it\u2019s quite clear that \u2018You did this to me, you belittled me, you teased me, you tormented me for all these years, and now you\u2019re going to reap what you sowed,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cFrom their perspective, it certainly sounds like they believe they\u2019ve been bullied and ostracized for a number of years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The section of the manifesto that purports to be by Vazquez describes ridicule, rejection and being treated \u201clike I was a subhuman.\u201d<\/p>\n

A section allegedly written by Clark laments the inability to find a girlfriend: \u201cBecause being deprived of love is something that will slowly kill anyone, man or woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the Vazquez family issued a statement mourning the victims and condemning their son\u2019s actions as those of \u201can immensely lost, troubled, and misguided soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 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,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

Terrorism at home<\/h4>\n

White supremacist extremism is the United States\u2019 deadliest form of domestic terrorism, studies have found.<\/p>\n

A 2024 report funded by the U.S. Department of Justice found that White supremacist, far-right violent extremism outpaces all other types of terrorism in the U.S. when it comes to the number of attacks.<\/p>\n

The report found that since 1990, far-right extremists killed more than 520 people in 227 attacks, more than far-left or radical Islamist extremists. Over the same time period, far-left extremists committed 42 attacks that killed 78 people.<\/p>\n

This study was quietly scrubbed from the DOJ\u2019s website last year.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration had made domestic terrorism, particularly violence tied to White supremacist groups, a national security focus. In 2021, the administration released a\u00a0multi-agency strategy aimed at improving intelligence sharing, preventing radicalization and disrupting extremist networks.<\/p>\n

Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union pushed back, warning that expanded surveillance could lead to overreach and bias against minority communities. Some conservative groups argued the administration focused too much on right-wing extremism and minimized threats from the far left.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump, meanwhile, does not acknowledge White supremacists as a major terrorist group in his \u00a0plan. And he has personally used the same language White supremacists use, such as calling immigrants \u201cinvaders\u201d and \u201crapists and murderers.\u201d Critics argue he has emboldened White supremacists and downplayed threats of violence.<\/p>\n

But the lack of recognition of White supremacy as a form of domestic terrorism pre-dates Trump, said Mike German, a former FBI special agent and national security expert.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long-standing issue that White supremacist violence is deprioritized by the FBI and the Justice Department and is treated very differently than other forms of domestic terrorism,\u201d German said. \u201cPart of the way that\u2019s accomplished is in this different use of language.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he sees the mosque shooting often being referenced as a hate crime and less so\u00a0as an act of domestic terrorism.<\/p>\n

That distinction matters because hate crime investigations focus more narrowly on the motive for the crime, versus a terrorism investigation, which looks for a broader movement that is engaging in similar crimes elsewhere, German said. Hate crime investigations are also given less priority than terrorism investigations, which the FBI says are its \u201cnumber one priority,\u201d German said.<\/p>\n

Rogers noted the fact that the Islamic Center shooters not only targeted Muslim people in the attack, but they also fired at the landscaper nearby. She warned against framing the attack in a way that pits religious, racial or political groups against each other because she said that plays into the attackers\u2019 game of trying to incite division.<\/p>\n

Violence can be preventable<\/h4>\n

One unusual aspect about Monday\u2019s shooting, compared to most mass shootings since 2015, was that there were two attackers acting together, experts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have more than one person, you have a greater opportunity to intercept communications, because there is planning occurring between people rather than in the mind of a single individual,\u201d said Brette Steele, a former Department of Homeland Security official who is now president of Eradicate Hate and the senior director for preventing targeted violence at the McCain Institute for International Leadership.<\/p>\n

In January 2025, Chula Vista police sought a court order to take guns from Vazquez\u2019s father, with one officer writing in a court filing that Vazquez had been \u201cinvolved in suspicious behavior idolizing nazis and mass shooters.\u201d Court records indicated the teen had at some point been placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold, and his family said in their statement that they repeatedly urged him to seek help, and that he voluntarily spent time in multiple rehabilitation centers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried to place him in environments and around people who could provide the support and treatment he needed,\u201d the family said. \u201cWe will forever live with the burden of wondering whether there was more we could have done to help prevent this senseless tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steele said that despite the seeming randomness of the attacks, such violence can be preventable. She said the people best situated to intervene early are family members and friends.<\/p>\n

Steele\u2019s group, Eradicate Hate, has adopted a public health approach to prevention, which starts with educating parents and young people about warning signs and ways to intervene.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause we know that in 75% of cases, someone knows something before an attack occurs,\u201d she said. \u201cMore often than not, they don\u2019t say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
