The three officers who stopped the Austin shooter must face a grand jury to determine if the state should bring charges against them.
On Sunday, Ndiaga Diagne, a naturalized citizen from Senegal, opened fire in Austin. Three people have died, and two remain in critical condition.
Jorge Pederson, 30, was taken off life support on Monday.
Ryder Harrington, 19, and Savitha Shan, 21, also passed away.
Attorney Doug O’Connell posted on X that the Austin Police Association asked his team to represent the officers:
The Austin Police Association @ATXPOA has asked my team to represent the 3 heroes that took down the terrorist killer who attacked our community. Unfortunately they will face a Grand Jury hearing – as is the process directed to the Travis County DA by the Wren Collective. We will be with them every step of the way.
Apparently, Travis County DA José Garza follows instructions from the Wren Collective, a criminal justice reform group.
The group has pushed Garza to present all officers who use force to face a grand jury.
Garza has claimed that the Wren Collective provides him with advice on messaging, not on prosecution decisions.
KSAT has an excellent report on the Wren Collective.
You probably already guessed that the Wren Collective is a leftist group.
Let’s talk history and finances.
Jessica Brand, an attorney based in Austin, founded the Wren Collective in 2019…the year Garza took office.
The Wren Collective is not an independent organization. It falls under an umbrella like most leftist groups.
The donation link on the Wren Collective’s website leads to an account for the Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE), based in California.
The Wren Collective became a project of SEE in 2022.
SEE started in 1987 as the….American-Soviet Film Initiative. The group wanted to promote “the development of opportunities to view Soviet films in the United States and American films in the Soviet Union through tours and exhibition screenings.”
The American-Soviet Film Initiative became SEE in the mid-1990s, following the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991.
KSAT discovered that SEE took in over $21 million in 2019, but has recently grown to over $73 million.
Brand has refused to disclose who has donated or funded the Wren Collective.
Of course, Brand denies any links to George Soros, even though he donated almost $1 million to Garza’s campaign.
Brand might not have personal connections to Soros, but he has ties to SEE.
According to Influencer Watch, SEE has received funding from Alliance for Global Justice, which receives funds from the Open Society Foundations, Tides Foundation, and Arca Foundation.
Soros created and funded the Open Society Foundations.
I mean, you can basically connect all left groups to the Open Society Foundations in some way.
The FBI has been investigating Diagne:
FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge Alex Doran said the FBI is examining the suspect’s criminal history and background, which will also be addressed in that upcoming update. Doran said federal investigators are examining whether there is any ideological or international link to the attack, including reviewing items associated with the suspect such as clothing referencing Iran.
The agency reportedly found “indicators” on Diagne. His car contained items “pointing to a ‘potential nexus to terrorism.'”
The shooting happened after the U.S. and Israel launched an operation against Iran.
Pictures show Diagne wearing a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt.
One official said Diagne had a t-shirt with the Iranian flag on it underneath the sweatshirt.
The New York Post reported that Diagne spread hateful messages on his social media, attacking conservatives and praising an Islamic revolution:
“The Islamic revolution is eternal and here to stay until the end of time,” he raged in a post last April.“You Zionist and islamophobes can be angry all you want but you can’t do a damn thing about it, no matter what.”He also hurled vicious insults at conservative women, including MAGA podcaster Laura Loomer and influencer Valentina Gomez.“Shut the f–k up you Israel first wh–e, move to Israel you f–king bitch,” he said of Loomer in a post from October.“Free ride is coming to an end, you and your Israel first acolytes fake Jews know it, so melt down all you want you ugly bitch,” he added in a separate post.
The Post also reported that Diagne faced a lawsuit for allegedly running over a pedestrian in the Bronx in 2017.
