When I lived in Key West I became somewhat familiar with Santeria practices because it is common in the Cuban culture there. Lots of weird things would happen there concerning blood and animal sacrifices. Various animals, blood and other Santeria ceremonial objects often would be found in the cemetary, on peoples doorsteps and even in court rooms . Because it was so common and understood to be a part of some peoples beliefs, it was treated as no big deal, simply because it was not unusual. I'm not, of course, suggesting that this type of thing is going on in the OP story , but, perhaps it should be considered, instead of assuming that a future mass murder is learning his/her chops.
