He sounds like MAGA, but he also seems not to have been properly treated by the military or Veterans Affairs. He clearly needed mental health treatment that was not provided.
A decorated Marine veteran charged with firing an assault rifle from a boat at a waterfront bar in North Carolina, killing three people and wounding five, appeared subdued in court Monday as prosecutors said they may seek the death penalty.

Could swear I read that was among DOGE's schemes, at least
There's a very clear line showing MAGA rhetoric drives violence from the less-stable types. Look at the dude who shot up the LDS church, who posed in a Trump 2020 shirt. Also former military. And the evidence shows the LDS shooter is just one in a VERY long list of violent, murderous reich-wing nutjobs driven to act by it. And some of the people acting on it don't even the excuse of "diagnosed mental health issues".
