Wiki page<\/a>, Mymy\u2019s \u201cpatriotism for the Netherlands\u201d caused her to \u201cadopt a racist view of Belgium.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\nThe character is originally from Japan, but \u201cdespises her Japanese heritage and does everything she can to appear more Dutch.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Social media accounts that appeared tied to Vazquez had the school girl character as its profile photo. He also seemingly reposted clips from Ongezellig on a since-banned TikTok account.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c[Ongezellig] has a very right wing fanbase for some reason,\u201d Vazquez\u2019s online friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A disturbing 75-page manifesto believed to have been penned by Vazquez and Clark described Mymy as \u201cbased racist nationalist\u201d which \u201caccounts for the Nazis and Chuds who love the show.\u201d <\/p>\n

About two months before the fatal shooting, Vazquez purchased a plush Mymy doll from Etsy, according to its seller. <\/p>\n
Vazquez allegedly left a review for the doll, posting a photo of himself wearing camouflage and a black face covering next to it. <\/p>\n
\u201cI make unofficial fan-made plushies based on characters from the show because people in the community enjoy them,\u201d the Esty seller, who goes by Soy Toys, told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaleb Vazquez appeared to be a very large fan of the character Mymy and purchased one of the plushes from my store.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vazquez\u2019s family released a statement denouncing the fatal attack, saying he was autistic and was influenced by radical ideas circulating online. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur son was on the autism spectrum, and it is painfully clear to us\u00a0now that he struggled not only with accepting parts of\u00a0his own identity but\u00a0also grew to resent them,\u201d the statement reads. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe this, combined with exposure to hateful rhetoric, extremist content, and propaganda spread\u00a0across parts of the internet, social media, and other online platforms, contributed to his descent into radicalized ideologies and violent beliefs.\u201d <\/p>\n

Vazquez was allegedly in a TikTok group chat called \u201cTHOSE WHO ARE SIEGESTS,\u201d according to a screenshot reviewed by The Post and two of his online friends. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an accelerationist and NatSoc [National Socialism] group. The opinions were anti-immigration and antisemitic stuff,\u201d another one of Vazquez\u2019s friends claimed. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe would say [Muslim people] were gaining more power than they should. That they want Sharia law, being violent and uncivilized.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark and Vazquez \u201cdidn\u2019t discriminate on who they hated,\u201d Mark Remily, the FBI special agent in charge in San Diego, told reporters Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The manifesto] covered a wide aspect of races and religions.\u201d<\/p>\n
In January 2025, law enforcement agents conducted a welfare check on Vazquez and wrote he was \u201cinvolved in suspicious behavior idolizing Nazis and mass shooters.\u201d<\/p>\n
They filed a court order to have firearms in the home confiscated, but his parents turned over their guns days prior, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n

On the day of the shooting, Cain\u2019s mother sounded the alarm to authorities that her suicidal son stormed out of their home with her guns. <\/p>\n
Sickening livestream video from the attack shows Cain shooting Vazquez dead before turning the gun on himself after the pair killed three people \u2014 Mansour Kaziha, Amin Abdullah and Nadir Awad.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs parents, we are grieving in ways we never imagined possible. But our pain does not compare to the suffering of the victims and their families,\u201d Vazquez\u2019s family said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis moment is not about us. It is about the innocent people whose lives were taken, the survivors whose lives have been forever changed, and a grieving community trying to heal from unimaginable trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego mosque shooter Caleb Vazquez was obsessed with a \u201cbased racist\u201d Dutch cartoon character, according to his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[117926,28222,54170,74,76,75,15774,3586],"class_list":["post-330111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-mosque","tag-muslims","tag-nazis","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-shootings","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
