The lawyer says her client was only exercising his 1A rights when he praised mass shooters. But, if you delve a bit deeper, it becomes clear there was more to the matter:

His dad owned a revolver. He had experience in a shooting range. He resented being the target of bullies in school. And, police said, he made violent comments online and craved the adrenaline rush of carrying out a mass shooting.
