Hes not smiling because he shot someone. Hes smiling because conservative media is paying him absurd amounts of money to be their golden boy poster child. He was, and still is, just a dumb kid and I gaurantee you someone else has written for him whatever hes going to say at that event.

I kinda feel bad for him. He was led down a wrong path by awful people and now they’re the only ones who will have him.

Yes, this is my sentiment too. An ignorant teen who got into an unfortunate situation, and now his only purpose in life is to be mouthpiece for facist propaganda.

He travelled interstate to get a gun and went to that protest because...?

He put himself in that position, killed two people, maimed another, for his sins, he's now being paid as the right's posterchild for killing you political opponents - you'll have to forgive me for not feeling too bad for him.

His parents are idiots letting him go to such an event unsupervised!

He's fruit from the idiot tree.

I give it 10 years before he's a complete meth head getting his dick out at an Applebee's
