(58,785 posts)81. Excellent. A baby-face 18/19-year-old from Ohio, another
whose poor family won't be surprised.

Many media, including Heavy, had held off on naming Borden until he was identified as a person of interest by police because web sleuths have identified the wrong people before in national tragedies. ...
Borden Is From Mason, Ohio & Has a Troubled Past. ... According to WLWT-TV, there were signs of trouble in his past. ... Borden, 18, was previously accused of pulling a knife on a classmate years ago, WLWT reported. The mother of that classmate told the television station, I wasnt surprised, I was disgusted and just sick about everything I was seeing. The mother alleged that Borden called her son Jew Boy and made fun of the size of his nose, according to WLWT.
Borden attended Mason High School in Mason, Ohio, but he didnt graduate, according to Cincinnati.com. ... There were earlier signs that Borden aligned with white supremacist ideology, WLWT reported. According to a report from 2012, Borden brought a knife to school, took it out and put it 5 inches from another boys face, That boy also told police that Borden allegedly drew swastikas on paperwork, according to WLWT.
According to Cincinnati.com, Borden allegedly belonged to a gang called the Brothers of Confederacy, drew swastikas on his school papers and performed Nazi salutes.
His deleted Facebook name used the middle name Boc, according to reports.
