“Well, that gets the timeline to September 2015, almost three years ago. Still looking for the stressor (watch a few too many Criminal Minds episodes in the past).”

Some nuts are crazier than others and focus on something almost exclusively. Heck, normal people can hold grudges for decades.
But if you’re looking for something of an ongoing nature, I suspect since his actions had been made public by the paper, I suspect people avoided him/rejected him and harassed him on a regular basis - at least as far as anything online goes - Facebook, Twitter, the usual social media.
You know how it goes once the social media mob goes after someone. Also it’s pretty common for people to google up info on potential online contacts/acquaintances/friends to see if they have a bad rep or a record.
Summing up, I’d say a lot of people he ran into online googled him up, especially if he let out his creepiness and then they just blew him off. Finally he just decided that shooting the messenger (literally) rather than stopping himself from being a creepy nutcase, was a way to resolve his social problem.
I saw no evidence of that. On what are you basing your assertion?
I read seven years of his posts. He is a nut who has a problem with the LOCAL judicial system. And the newspaper for supposedly promoting findings of the local judicial system. After reading hundreds of post I could not figure out his political leanings. Local nut who felt the local legal system shafted him. It appears it all started with a conviction for boating under the influence.
“Would hate to have his pic be passed off as the perpetrator.”

Easy thing to overlook, not a big deal.
Someone said the head image might be from anime? I dunno anything about anime other than I don’t like it, but my guess is that it’s either a reference to something/someone evil (Darth Vader-like) or someone whom he has sarcastically marked as being infallible & unaccountable for whatever perceived wrong, an authority figure symbol.

I think it has more to do with a story the paper printed about him stalking some poor woman online. He tried to sue the paper for the story, but it was thrown out - basically because the story was factual.
I’ve already posted this link but, I think it pretty well demonstrates his motivation (and his nuttiness). He appears to be somewhat intelligent, but crazy and creepy.

Yeah, I saw that pic. I was trying to figure who he reminded me of. Maybe George Harrison circa 1970? I dunno.
Drudge posted the shooter’s picture.
Looks like a typical Antifa Democrat.
Very creepy.
What’s up with drudge’s photo of some man and it looks like it’s connected to the shooter??? It’s not this person who says he will do it.

More like Frank Zappa
The pic on the profile is one of the people he had a vendetta against
so Drudge’s photo of Jesus look-a-like is the shooter?

Maybe if he had a ‘stach instead of just a hipster-neckbeard.
“He appears to be somewhat intelligent, but crazy and creepy.”
Oh, come on! Each of us as an Ex like that in our past, LOL!
Maybe a few more gun laws would help? ;)
No such thing
