Just for posterity (once again), here’s **Steophan** ’s “thug” post. An unarmed black kid was shot dead in an SUV, and here’s **Steophan** ’s response:

> [@Can we please not do this again (Zimmerman media circus)?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-we-please-not-do-this-again-zimmerman-media-circus/681289/81):
>
> Yeah, I’m quite happy when sterling moral lawful gun owners get to shoot people that threaten them and get away with it.
> 
> I’m also happy when nutjobs who shoot at a truck that’s driving away from them get locked up for decades.
> 
> I can’t really be upset about what’s happened here. Thug got killed, nutjob got locked up, self defence laws are affirmed and Florida is slightly safer for everyone who lives there.

“Thug got killed”. For playing loud music (if he even did that). And **Steophan** ’s absolutely fine with it. That really tells you what you need to know about **Steophan**. All his other lies since then are just icing on the cake.

What could his motivation possibly be?
