Years before Chad Williams, 24, showed up at the new Twin Falls fast food joint, he expressed horror at the randomness of an armed carjacking in his hometown of Waddell, Arizona.
“He would have killed you or me for walking out of our front door at the wrong time over a truck he would sell for just $8,000.”
Williams, whose X bio said that he was a “former foster care youth” and that he participated in Boys State — a leadership program for top students — in 2019, stopped posting in July 2025.
He mostly commented on news of the day, and often wrote about crime and immigration — supporting tougher enforcement.
Williams expressed concern about random violence in New York City, and blamed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
“Bragg downgraded 60% of felony cases last year, including violent crimes…New Yorkers don’t feel safe in their own city,” reads a message he re-shared on X in November 2024.
“Meanwhile, in Trump’s case, he elevated 34 charges to felonies…It’s time for DAs that prioritize public safety over politics,” it said.
Williams also posted about protecting the First and Second Amendments.
“Thank you to [Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna] for cosponsoring HR 9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act. No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country,” read another post he re-shared.
“Free Speech is the bedrock of Democracy and must be protected at all costs,” another said.

So why would he kill innocent people?
That’s as bad a crime as you can do.
Did he have an SSRI prescription, I wonder?
Something snapped
Yeah being anti crime and then going out doing about as public a crime as possible is a disconnect.
The maniacs on The View, like leftists everywhere, would be happy to give you the answer: because he was a conservative and Trump supporter.
Finally, they think they have their guy. Just wait.
Wasn’t there another mid 20s male that had a similar back story a couple of years ago? Drops off the radar and then does a similar shooting, turns up that he got trooned out. Want to bet the same thing happened to this kid?
AI Overview
"Trooned out" is an offensive internet slang term used to mean "undergone a gender transition"
Might have been the loon that lived about 20 miles from me.
He was anti-gun so what does he do??? Gets a rifle and kills people at his work including a few friends.
They are crazy. His name was Sturgeon, his dad a well respected teacher and local basketball coach.
Opposes crime...and then shoots up 2 Teslas? Make it make sense.
According to the article, he stopped posting about a year ago. He might have undergone a complete change of beliefs between then and now, which might account for the disconnect between his actions and his stated beliefs. Or, drugs?
The guy who tried to assassinate Trump did the same thing. Made a complete U turn in politics after Covid.
Early 20s is also when schizophrenia tends to hit susceptible males.
“I told them NO MUSTARD!!!”
