BREAKING: SAN DIEGO SHOOTING REVEALS EERIE PARALLEL TO 1913 “LONE STAR” MASSACRE—COINCIDENCE OR PATTERN?

SAN DIEGO, CA — In the aftermath of last night’s mass shooting that left 6 dead at a downtown military recruitment center, historians are sounding a chilling alarm: the events are a virtual carbon copy of a largely forgotten 1913 attack in the same neighborhood.

Dr. Elena Vasquez of UC San Diego’s History Department noted the “uncanny symmetry” between the 2025 tragedy and the so-called “Lone Star Massacre” of January 13, 1913, when a disgruntled former Army clerk named Thomas R. Beckett opened fire on a recruitment office on what is now the same city block.

“Beckett was a loner, a veteran of the Philippine War, who left a manifesto citing ‘alien influences’ and ‘corporate greed’ poisoning the nation,” Vasquez told reporters. “Last night’s shooter, identified as 32-year-old ex-Marine Ethan Mears, left a nearly identical note—same rhetoric, same target type, even the same day of the month.”

The kicker? Both attacks were preceded by letters to local newspapers warning of a “reckoning.” Mears’ letter was sent to the San Diego Union-Tribune three days before the shooting. Beckett’s was published in the San Diego Sun on January 10, 1913.

“History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes,” Vasquez said. “This isn’t just a disturbing coincidence—it suggests a toxic, cyclical undercurrent in American extremism. We’re seeing the same wounds, the same justifications, over a century apart.”

Police have not confirmed the manifesto’s contents, but sources tell CNN that the shooter referenced “parasites at the top” and
