Sounds an awful lot like Glenn Beck (and Sean Hannity).

From the Post Gazette:

Richard Andrew Poplawski was a young man convinced the nation was secretly controlled by a cabal that would eradicate freedom of speech, take away his guns and use the military to enslave the citizenry.

His online profile suggests someone at once lonely and seething. He wrote of burning the backs of both of his hands, the first time with a cigarette, the second time for symmetry. He subscribed to conspiracy theories and, by January 2007, was posting photographs of his tattoos on white supremacist Web site Stormfront. Among his ambitions: "to accumulate enough 'I punched that so hard' stories to match my old man."

5. "I punched that so hard" stories?
The only thing I can think of is idiots who get tanked up and turn their hand into a maraca punching a wall or a window or a door or something else that's harder than their fist. The smarter idiots are the ones who figure it out after the first time. And in this case, it appears to be hereditary.

7. Sounds like Bushie
"to accumulate enough 'I punched that so hard' stories to match my old man."

The same kind of psychopath mentality that had to match the old man and even do one better?

Did he have a mother like Barb?

8. He didn't even know his "old man"
According to some other articles he lived with his mom and grandmom and never even knew his father.
