    OK, so the signs were in his family’s yard. This means his parents were supporters and the kid grew up w/ conservative parents. My guess (and this is just a guess) is his actions were in part a rebellious act against his parents.

        He was a young man still finding his way. Even accepting the fact that he had conservative leanings, that doesn’t preclude the possibility of him doing something to lash out at his parents particularly if that something involved causing the death of a prominent “conservative” his parents hold dear. My presumption is that his conservative parents were strict and overbearing, which isn’t a stretch based on my own experiences.

      We really don’t have a lot of facts here. What we have so far:

      • He ranted against paedophiles.
      • He was a registered Republican.
      • There were Trump signs in his (family’s) yard.
      • He was bullied in school.
      • A donation was made in his name for $15 to an Act Blue subsidiary.
      • He was denied being on the rifle team due to his behaviour and his lack of skill with a rifle.

      And that’s about it. Not much room to base your guess.

      It’s just as likely that he bought into the notion that the elites are all a bunch of baby-eating, baby-fucking Satan worshippers, but NOT the notion that that only applied to the Left, and tried to remove a Right-Winger with a history of visiting powerful men and diddling kids on exclusive islands.

        Some classmates said he took conservative positions in a history class and that he was definitely conservative.
