The timeline in the article doesn't line up with that picture.
Sounds like there was a nasty divorce in 2015 between the parents, including a restraining order.
We've got an article, I'm sure there will be more coming out. It's his mom and stepdad:
Social media accounts for his parents show that his dad, a U.S. Army veteran, and his mom, a pet groomer, have each divorced and remarried. Each has made Facebook posts in support of President Donald Trump and right-wing politics, but there is no indication their son shares their views.

Per the CNN story, its certainly possible he had a mental break after failing to get a job in the forestry service and just decided to take it out on a couple of firefighters before offing himself.
Did his parents holding extremist political views and a fetish for firearms play a role in his actions? Would be more unbelievable if they didn't. But I don't think he'd have been better off with a couple of parents who were firmly in the Ted Cruz camp or disaffected Liz Cheney die-hards, either.
If I was to take a wild guess, I'd say this was the direct result of a kid who was out of high school, unemployed, with no real future on the horizon, who was terminally online in a community of (likely a large number of bot-accounts and trolls) telling him he's worthless and should just off himself.
A classic problem of "surplus males" that plague every militant reactionary society.
Those MAGA Republicans look like DEMOCRATS!
Don't believe you lying eyes!
Don't you think the guy looks like MAGA Paul Hollywood?
He reminded me of Jon Favreau. Or David Zayas
I was getting country Tom Hanks vibe.
Remember: misinformation comes from both sides. Just because you like it doesn't mean you can skip fact checking.
Simply using the term “both sides” is problematic, and not just because it’s a binary fallacy. There aren’t just two sides. It’s misrepresents a system in which there is one single, unified group that engages in violent, oppressive, lawless fascism… and then there is everyone else, covering a nearly infinite variety of ideologies and goals, and many of whom have no representation.
The phrase “both sides” as it is, itself, misinformation and propaganda.
Let me clarify. I'm an imbecile who normally comments on porn and trash memes. I didn't put much thought into it besides "PSA: we're inclined to believe things that align with us! Make sure to check!" Because I gotta remind myself often because I believe most things I like. and think people also might appreciate being reminded. I just think too often in binary terms because (see above) I'm an idiot and it's all easier that way. But I'm always trying to grow and do better so I'll take your critique of my comment to heart.
I guess I'll try to phrase things less binarily in the future. Or keep it short. But thanks for keeping me on it.
Damn. 👊🏼
I don't need to give MAGA the benefit of the doubt anymore.
They lost that privilege years and years ago.
The side that is doing actually good stuff doesn't need to use misinformation, but there'll be unaffiliated people spreading whatever kind they want on a platform that will have them
It's people like those two that need their faces eaten by a leopard.
too bad this happened in the home of the Aryan Nation, it'll amount to thoughts and prayers
I truly hope firefighters nationwide make some noise against this shit with guns and mental health and press politicians to make changes via inaction during emergencies. this is absolutely fucking unacceptable and they should not ever fear additional life threatening forces while risking their lives and addressing crises
so fucking tired of psychos parading around their love of guns alongside their hatred. your god isn't fuckin real, your guns are not a "god given right"
your god isn’t fuckin real, your guns are not a “god given right”
Jesus would be going temple pharisee rampage and shoving their guns up their asses
Jesus would be going temple pharisee rampage and shoving their guns up their asses
Bible v2.0, now with 100% more guns in poopers
Another one? I'm still reeling from the preacher murders.
MAGA = American Taliban
In case anyone was still unsure.
They'll find out that he donated a dollar to a charity at the grocery store checkout when he was 12, so he's a Democrat.
We need your particular set of skills to kidnap and possibly deflate a giant orange balloon that people keep pretending is human.
What’s the rest of the sign say that is cut off above “hitler”?
Do we really need to spread fake info about this? His parents had an aggressively hostile divorce 10 years ago.
So neither exist? No one raised him?... My money is on at least one of them is his parent...the other probably played a part in raising him.
Strange. Usually when we find only thing we call it an anecdote. Unless it fits with our prejudice then it's cold, hard, scientific data.
Now I'm really curious what were you thinking writing that, because's I can't for the life of me figure out the correlation
Why are you doxxing people? I get it, they like trump, fuck them. But ultimately putting blame on the parents and showing their faces is fucked.
His own parents had no contact orders against him after he made numerous threats on their lives. He was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. He posted radicalized ideas and conspiracy theories on his X account.
Trumpism is both a disease and a mental disorder, and ignoring your deranged kid because he's too difficult to handle and who obviously has some F***ed up ideas about the world is pretty messed up on their behalf.
Okay, so?
Does that mean they shouldn't have protective orders out? What should they be doing, forcefully trying to insert themselves into a situation where they are in danger and the kid has shown multiple times he isn't interested / is actually threatening?
This to me makes it even more fucked up that their faces are being shown like this online.
In phycology it's usually the parents that fuck their kids up. I see it all the time. If they had turbulent marriage then the kid had a turbulent life.
From CNN
“Court documents show that Roley had a tumultuous family life growing up. His mother filed for divorce in September 2015, when her son was 10 years old, and wrote in court documents that her husband had threatened her, pushed her to the ground, and “punched several holes in the walls.”
“He threatened to sit outside my house with a sniper rifle or burn my house down,” she wrote.
A judge granted a protective order preventing Roley’s father from having contact with his wife or son, but later amended the order to remove the son after his father wrote in a court filing that “I am not a danger to my son or anyone else” and that his wife “did not tell the truth in her statement.”
The divorce was granted in November 2015, and Roley’s mother was designated as his “primary residential parent.”
Sometimes the kids are just dicks though.
...is this even doxxing? There's nothing personally identifying that isn't already public.
No surprise they wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads.
