"I’d guess gang initiation. MS-13 or Crips - kill a white boy to get in."

I don't think so. This is too organized, well planned and successful so far. Young thugs screw up and talk too much. (just like biker gangs). They are more cowboy than Hannibal Lecter. Word would be on the streets and there would be a lot more clues. Hard to make much of a guess with the skimpy details we have other than there's a good chance it's more than one person. And that's not a given at all.

All signs point to a Wal-Mart connection...

Are you kidding?? All signs point to Movie-Of-The-Week (except it will probably be "based on" and so feature nubile co-eds instead.)

The origin of the smiley face is actually an insurance company. The company failed to copyright the design, so other folks printed it up.

Similarly, the origin of the MTV logo of the modified moon walk, is because MTV needed an inexpensive logo and gubmint film footage isn’t copyrighted.

Each of these drownings is a tragedy, but I don’t think there is any evil smiley face gang. Young men are prone to drinking too much. When there is a river nearby, some end up drowning. Smiley faces are probably among the most common graffiti.

"A Cereal killer is suspected."

Did you know that BTK actually left a few boxes of cereal on one of his victims in a real life version of that gag? True.

...which resulted in his death being changed from “drowning” to “homicide.”

Not meaning to be a wise acre but can't they (the authorities) tell? Won't there be marks on the body? Signs of a struggle? Facial expression of the deceased? Something? Sure the victims might have been drunk but everyone of them so drunk that self-preservation didn't kick in? Surely not all the bodies were only found when it was too late to look for these signs and clues.

Just wondering....

I'd guess you are right.

Still, I wonder why they think more than one is involved, even if it’s not really a gang.

The people who died in the LaCrosse, WI area did not appear to be gay. One of the drowning victims was a popular athlete who disappeared after a night of drinking with friends.

I’m also very skeptical of the MS-13, jihadist, black nationalist ideas, since people like that would be memorable in a small town like LaCrosse.

There has been a lot of speculation about these drownings being the work of a serial killer, but there hasn’t been much to connect the deaths. Most of the victims had BACs above .20 when their bodies were found.
