The linked story is certainly worth reading as the summary here misses several key points. The bar where the suspect is accused of scaring female employees and patrons is located near the family home in PA.

So much info is being leaked out about this guy that his lawyers are sure to be questioning where he could get a fair trial. And we should be concerned about that too, I’m sure almost anyone could be made to look “creepy” and “dangerous” with the right selected quotes and anecdotes. The only relevant things are direct evidence of the crimes, if he seemed creepy to somebody in 2017 or seemed strung out to his classmates, so what? Anyone could fall into those categories without butchering four individuals.

Two other points that were made in the linked story that hasn’t surfaced in this discussion, he was said to be a libertarian and had apparently made anti-rainbow (gay) comments to classmates, but otherwise there are no obvious ties to current politics in any direction. Statements about anti-capitalist or ANTIFA leanings made in other threads appear to be so far speculation rather than backed up by evidence.

This probably isn’t going to get very far off the neutral center line of political relevance and will just play out as another sad tale of a mentally disturbed individual playing God with the lives of relative strangers. If he did at some point express support for anyone in politics, it would be more or less a “so what” moment, every political figure has their share of crazy supporters, it means very little in the grand scheme of things.
