8. For a while he was the right-wing gun-nut darling

Gun stores were having him out for autograph sessions; he was selling paintings on eBay for large amounts... well, one, I think. And then there was the issue on whether or not he copied another painting... Anyway, he was expecting this to blow up so he would be on the gravy train for life. Even without all the other shit he's done that made him too radioactive, his star was going to fade. You can only ride the coattails of shooting an unarmed Black kid for so long.

He's tasted what he thinks is la dolce vita though so he doesn't want to return to being an everyday Joe.
