re: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri | *SPOILERS* Discussion

Loved the movie. Frances and Sam are two of my favorite actors.

I agree that the Idaho soldier's behavior does seem without adequate motivation. Unless you make the argument that he is the kind of sadist who would taunt the mother of a raped and desecrated girl? Which might fit if he heard about the murder/rape and wanted to torment a victim's mother.

There are people who write and say nasty things to family members of a murder victim like this.
