Weird
Not really. The hogg kid is always seen with the shaved head bull dyke who probably swings “both ways”. That tells me that hogg is in good with the lgbtxyz agitator group at school. So swine boy and baldy teamed up to manipulate cruz. I guess you can say that life imitates art since this is almost the plot line of the movie “Cruel Intentions” from 1999.
We know that swine boy’s dad was FBI and a big time killery supporter. My guess is that baldy’s parents are tied to some group like la raza, or maybe even ms-13.
I agree that there are a lot of things that stink in this. Under normal circumstances the actions of these kids would raise major red flags. It’s amazing how fast everything was scripted and organized.
