I won’t be surprised if the Q stuff is an excuse and the real issues were marital or financial, just because that seems more likely to me than this
(I guess I would expect to see more Q followers killing people if that was a common occurrence of those who drink that particular flavor of Kool-Aid). The quotes below are from people who knew the murderer. I also suspect that he told authorities he used a spear gun because – – hard to believe though it is – – that seems like a much faster and more “humane” to kill than stabbing them (!) with a wooden stake. If this is the case, I’d think an insanity defense would be off the table (if that type of defense is even used in the Mexican legal system).
Surf School Owner Killed Kids After Being ‘Enlightened’ by QAnon: Feds
“Patrick Woods, a local surfer who works at the Surf Country surf shop in Goleta, California, said he was shocked by the news.
“He surfed out at one of the local breaks near UC Santa Barbara,” Woods told The Daily Beast. “I’ve surfed with him a couple of times and I’ve never had any problems with him, he seemed pretty cool. He seemed like he had it together, seemed all there mentally—definitely not someone to, like, travel somewhere and then murder his kids. It’s a total mindbender.”
Another member of the local surf scene told The Daily Beast he trusted Coleman enough that he “would have handed him my own kids in a second, to take them surfing. I’ve never heard of one parent complain about his program. So...it just doesn’t make any sense.”
