What is really strange is that the normal reaction to this would be for the family to avoid the press, stay behind closed doors and refer all inquiries to an attorney. Blabber-mouth Eric is digging a hole for himself. Could he really be that dumb. . or is this a part of the plan? Nothing makes sense here.
I suspect Eric and perhaps others were a part of a plan to teach those redneck Trump supporters a lesson. Everyone chickened out except one.
