LDS Shooter had Trump Sign on his house

In a 2016 google earth picture, there is a Trump sign on his house.

From the article:

“ Police did not discuss why they believe Sanford targeted the Mormon church. Several others in the area are closer to his home, according to Google maps.

Sanford has been registered to vote at the Atherton Road address since 2017, records show.

An online image of Sanford’s home shows a 2016 “Trump” political sign on the fence, above a sign.

(Snip)

Sanford did sign two recent petitions, Grebner said, one for the so-called Unlock Michigan efforts to repeal the governor’s pandemic emergency powers and another supporting Right to Life Michigan’s efforts to restrict abortion in the state.

The “unlock” efforts were a reaction to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive orders which called for lockdowns, school closures and mask mandates in 2020 and 2021.

Nothing that challenges the official narratives. It'll just be a lone wolf thing, and swept under the carpet.

He waited until the googul car was going by and put out that TRump sine so they would take a piture of it. Aslo that piture is too blurry to tell if it was a real Trump sine.

He's also probably a trans drag book reader.

I get annoyed by their self-branding as 'pro-life' when they're really forced birth. I think if we started referring to them as forced birthers we could change the discussion on abortion.

here's more evidence of being liberal:

The “unlock” efforts were a reaction to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive orders which called for lockdowns, school closures and mask mandates in 2020 and 2021.




Any engraved shell casings? That's the real evidence these days.

Well, so it's a wild thought, but then, let's be realistic. This is a far right wing extremist MAGA Trumper anti-American, anti-Patriot gun nut who was getting revenge for Charlie Kirk.
