Also, that's Calgary. They're known to have strong conservative values, and it's not the first time they've overgeneralized teenage behavior as malignant.
the issue isn't about those 5 things obviously, the issue that it's less than half of the article. also yes it's obviously overgeneralization, but labeling it as "strong conservative values" is a fluke. the religious right is not really a thing anymore (and if it existed, god forbid it'd be anywhere in canada), no person who is truly right-wing can miss the mark this badly when it comes to identifying someone who is more extreme than them

normalizing political violence will only stimulate more and more unrest. extremity breeds extremity, racism breeds racism. if this normalization of political violence spreads, then that is only more reason for the nazi movement to grow. if you're expecting nazis to shrivel up and die once everyone starts punching them on sight, then with the same logic, black people should still be sitting on the back of the bus.
