(43,265 posts)I actually take credit for introducing him to his future wife (also a friend of mine) in high school.
Hardcore, hardcore libertarian. He seems equally angry at both Democrats and Republicans in his long, sometimes disjointed Facebook rants. After Sandy Hook, he seemed obsessed about threats to gun ownership and bordered on the edge of government paranoia and the necessity to arm oneself in the light of a tyrannical government, etc. He also goes deep into some of the conspiracy theories--9-11 Truthers and such.
He also would post angry rants about how he hates his job (a mechanic at a car dealership), how he wants to quit his job but they won't let him (which I just don't even begin to understand) and sometimes he talks about unspecified plans at how he'll "get back" at his employer or some of his co-workers.
But before too many red flags go up, the thing about him--even back in high school--is that he would often say some outrageous things just to get a rise, without actually meaning it. So the question is, how serious is he being when he's making these rants and odd statements?
I do worry though. His wife is very smart, and they have two kids together. But I do worry about his mental sanity, and if he actually does have guns....well, I don't know what to do.
