It’s all about context, and it’s the context that allows you to determine what is simply odd to you and what is relevant. You can’t allow your focus to be distracted by completely irrelevant data.
For instance, the “devil’s horn sign” is an utterly laughable issue to bring up or even consider. You see devil’s horns, I see children. My own daughter does that very thing where she sucks her middle two fingers with her palm outwards. A photo of her with this is totally and completely irrelevant to a mass school shooting. Further, those of us with children know that humans are not born knowing what are considered rude or controversial gestures. I have seen family photos wherein it appears children are flipping the bird at the camera...they don’t know it’s rude. And what’s the implied cause of such signage? That the kids are satanic?
Any investigation must separate the noise from the signal. Do you risk filtering out some signal when you do that? Sure...but there’s nothing in other evidence to indicate that these particular issues are anything other than a typical American family being a typical American family.

He did act weird in his interview but that could be grief.
It’s okay to give him the benefit of the doubt.
And it is also okay for me to wonder why the girl has multiple photos with Satan’s symbol.
Bet you would have never guess this guy was a child molestor.

You never know what is behind the facade of the typical American Family.
But I am a cynic.
