"The Iron Cross is much too cliche I'm afraid, and the Cthulhu and Baphomet choices are what a school shooter would buy at a Hot Topics in the Potential Mass Murderer section..."
Tom and Lorenzo are getting the attention for their coverage of the royal wedding fashions, but everyone seems to be ignoring their review of the Texas shooter's sartorial choices.
Excerpt:
"...the choice of a trenchcoat was so very 90s, and not in a retro-ironic way. It practically shouts "I'm going to shoot up the high school", where perhaps a 70s denim jacket might've added more intrigue...
...his T-shirt with the slogan 'Born to Kill' was too obvious, obviously. The clothing choices should speak, but not actually spell it out. If text was absolutely required, then a 'Don't Mess With Texas' shirt could've brought an oblique sensibility to his presentation...
"...the display of pins on the trench coat could've been a savvy touch, but he did not not quite stick the landing here, either. The Iron Cross is much too cliche I'm afraid, and the Cthulhu and Baphomet choices are what a school shooter would buy at a Hot Topics in the Potential Mass Murderer section..."
"...of course, we do not expect these shooters to be wearing the latest couture from a runway in Milan, but these people should realize that preparation is more than buying guns and making bombs: clothes matter, and selfies showing a sharper sartorial flair would've given his new fame more appeal. Killers: think Che, not Wal-Mart shopper..."
I don't know: maybe they have a point, but it might not be the right time just yet...

I think his opposing/somewhat contradictory pins expressed the duality of man quite well. The shout-out to Columbine keeps the dream alive.
