RICHMOND, Calif. — To co-workers who knew David DePape a few years ago, he was a gentle, quiet carpenter who liked to watch the “Game of Thrones” and “Stranger Things” series and brought sunflower seeds to his worksite to feed birds and squirrels.
“Everybody liked him,” said Frank Ciccarelli, 76, a carpenter who employed DePape in the Bay Area.
But when DePape began talking about politics, his outlook grew darker, they said.
