    The new face of violent radicalism in the United States: aggrieved, rural, white “Future Farmers of America” Trump kids raised by white, rural, aggrieved Trump parents that don’t keep their guns secure.

    Edit: yes, he was part of FFA. He was “member of the month” last month.

        I couldn’t believe that they released his name like that. Totally out of line by whatever department decided to do that.

          Yes it’s odd, given how just before this that football player was shot in San Francisco by a 17 year old. There was a big to-do about will he be tried as an adult and they won’t release his name because he’s a minor. In this case they released his name right away and said he would be tried as an adult even though he’s only 14.

            I think that was a rouge “tough guy” who decided to do it. It’s not up to the police to decide how he gets tried.
