I thought he was from someplace in South Carolina? (before I knew who he was I read one of his books, course he wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in the ass).
I know a lot of guys like that at the backwater redneck high school I attended. Most couldn’t spell chess club let alone us have one. Hell I was 6’4” 270lbs at graduation myself (course everybody wanted me on their football team and I wanted to play basketball).
Not one of these guys turned into the warped,mass of hatred he has become (okay a couple have done prison time). He may be all the things you say he is, but there’s more happening than just a shitty childhood.
I think you hit it right on the mark. At least I got into the drama club, band ,choir, av, girls, gymnastics, girls, science club, girls....
I think everyone had someone like this in high school.
The one we had committed suicide in his 20’s.

Anybody have any idea?
You know, there’s a forum that the Flint newspaper keeps. You might wish to post a link there…
