The friend is a liar, imo.
Memo to all:
Dont trust my neighbors. They are jealous of my Mercedes and my beautiful wife. They will slander me and say untruths.
I dont think anyone knows why, but everybody now is a critic. God help us all.
I wouldn't be so sure. Mental illness can certainly lead people to violent, irrational obsessions, and obsessions with world events/world leaders/national leaders/etc are not an uncommon type of obsession for this set. So, it's entirely possible that this guy thought he was saving his family and himself from the prospect of a second Obama term.
