Why he targeted them as opposed to more liberal Churches.Yes I'm aware that Kirk's shooter was raised by right wing parents. I would speculate despite being on obvious extreme maga as evident by his facebook page and the Trump yard signs and Trump gear he probably knew some liberals. I don't think mormonism is as big in Michigan as it in is in Utah. Probably didn't know any which made it easier for him desensitize himself to commit such an awful act of violence.
