All I can say is WTF? Who hits a kid in the head with a shovel?
- “Prior to this attack, the man arrested had been receiving support of the mental health services,” Patel added.
  
  Sounds like a lone-wolf with some complex stuff going on. Still horrible.
I'm confused which side hit the kid with the spade?
- I'm pretty sure the boy was part of the protest march.
  
  But it sounds like the attacker may have mental health issues and may not necessarily be on a "side".
