The cynical part of me expects that since NPR did this story, they know something I don't. Being NPR, that something would be that the nut job's politics aren't "tea party." We'll see. (again, I personally think politics has squat to do with this crime, which is why even talking about "civility" was in fact a political attack.)
People don't live in a cultural vacuum. They are living in a cultural atmosphere that may be encouraging or containing to their already existing inherent motivation. Your living environment feeds back on you. If it is moderate, your drive to turn hot is slowed down. If it is hot, your kettle explodes even earlier.
