Until then, it's guesswork and rumormongering, as all sides feverishly speculate on who they hope it is, and isn't. FR hopes it's BLM. DU hopes it's some antigovernment loon. My guess is it's a disturbed individual or individuals who happened to latch on to this cause but could easily have latched on to something else.
