I don't think it's a conspiracy to make his church look bad. It's pertinent information, along with his lack of police record and prior jobs in the aerospace industry.
All these facts put together would leave the typical reader (like myself) asking how this apparently normal, well-adjusted, church-going man could go off the deep end so violently. And it looks like we're finding our answer in his divorce settlement saddled on top of his job loss and unemployment denial.
Maybe it’s me, but I think you missed the point I was trying to make regarding the slanted coverage of the ROP.
