The moment I saw him posing with his mother, I came to that same conclusion, that he was autistic at the very least.
That alone doesn’t indicate violence, but I could see that he appeared compromised in some overall way.

Back during the campaign season James O’Keefe uncovered Dem shell groups targeting mentally ill folks like this at Trump rallies. The plan was to bait them into responding violently. It worked in Charlottesville, obviously. They have a specific term for that tactic. I can’t recall what it is.

In this case, the guy's vulnerability was known to a lot of liberals back in Ohio.

Was there a mentor in the shadows goading him on, only to slink back into anonymity after the deed was done?

You’re right! I remember that tactic..but not the term.. kind of like the Taliban sending in an animal with expolsives... “Mule” maybe?

I think O’Keefe got a guy named Creamer to admit it. I think he was also found on the Obama White House visitor logs.

Maybe the autists over at 4chan can dive into this.
