Big Assumption he was targeting a smalltown newspaper because he disagreed with an editorial and wanted to shut down fake news aka free speech

Or the first "Kristallnacht" like event by our Socialist Fascist Democrat subversives to use the First Amendment against the Second Amendment.
Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels ordered German storm troopers to carry out violent riots disguised as spontaneous demonstrations against Jewish citizens. Local police and fire departments were told not to interfere. In the face of all the devastation, some Jews, including entire families, committed suicide.In the aftermath of Kristallnacht, the Nazis blamed the Jews and fined them 1 billion marks (or $400 million in 1938 dollars) for vom Raths death. As repayment, the government seized Jewish property and kept insurance money owed to Jewish people. In its quest to create a master Aryan race, the Nazi government enacted further discriminatory policies that essentially excluded Jews from all aspects of public life.
