    This guy looks like a dorkier HP Lovecraft

    Also

    there have been pro-Trump signs on display in the yard of his family’s home.

    Is a much different message than “signs in his yard.” Don’t worry though, I’m sure all of the kid’s life is being scrubbed by every agency in America and in sixty years we’ll know why he really did it.

      Coming into this comment thread relatively late, but I briefly wondered after reading the headline if this was a rebellion against the views his family instilled in him.

      Obviously, it’s a heck of a rebellion if that idea holds even an ounce of water, but I could see rebelling against parents, coupled with the existential frustration that most folks feel about the current political situation, paired with the inexperience/poor decision making of youth, or even the beginnings of schizophrenia leading down this path.

      Definitely filing that line of thought into the “complete speculation, and almost certainly not what really happened” bin, though.
