I assume he tried to drug his grandaughters, the girls discovered the pills, and then he had to play dumb and come up with a story "Dairy Queen must have put those in there!!"
No, he definitely wanted to use this to stoke the fire in the minds of the "drug problem" locally. The DQ is probably staffed by some minority or other group that he hates, so if the optics show those "evil people putting drugs into innocent little white girls food" to create more hatred. Just pure evil.
I don't think that's "definite".
It also doesn't really make a ton of sense, as you can easily propagandize and villainize without personally exposing your granddaughters to drugs and risking severe legal troubles, by twisting facts or straight up making shit up "they're eating the dogs" style.
The paragraphs you quoted don't really support one theory over another about his motives
I don't know. If the kids had eaten those pills, they would have been fucked up or dead. Either way, authorities would have gotten involved. I suspect that this was his plan from the beginning.
Edit: Wait, is MDMA a date rape drug? I assumed he was staging this to go after DQ. Was he instead trying to drug them to assault them?
No. Neither is cocaine.
in the same way that alcohol is a date rape drug, any drug that inhibits you can be used to control you
I dunno, cocaine and MDMA are both uppers. I dont know anything about date rape drugs, but having your victim 120% awake doesn't seem like a great plan.
