Not even sure if he had any genuine affiliation, other than social media interaction, with any of the groups. Turns out he told his Mom that he was going to some rally. I seriously doubt that his action was any orchestrated part of any of the groups involved, but rather a voluntary action by an isolated individual. That is the danger of these "groups". This young, semi-orphaned young man, had no direction in his life, and clung to the first bunch of losers that accepted him.
I saw this before and forgot to comment, but just saw it again and remembered. These groups take their logos seriously, it's like a street gang (because in many ways, it is). There are images of him holding a shield with the logo of one of the hate groups earlier in the day on Saturday, in among other members. He has a genuine affiliation.
