He has on the tiniest of ideas of what he's doing; he might be breaking the law; he's audacious and realized he could just do it; he wants to be in California because that's where dreams come true; he's probably from an upper middle class white family with parents who didn't pay him enough attention.
And he's doing it all because he wants a status symbol of wealth and prosperity, and someone told him he couldn't.
Personally, I feel that there is a little boy/girl in everyone of us and quite many tech-immigrants to SFBA went there to chase their own Lambo type dreams. This isn't something reprehensible but in fact part of the american fabric (liberty and the pursuit of happiness).
But of course the metaphor ends at the absolute danger of the situation the boy is causing. A startup is comparatively safe to what the little guy did.

Definitely looks more “Hispanic” than “white” to me. Googling his surname also shows (mostly) Hispanics. The photos also don’t scream “upper middle class” to me, but that’s harder to judge.
I'm actually from Ogden, and I love it so much. The population is probably about 33% hispanic.

Honestly, as far as children doing stupid shit like this goes, that describes pretty much all children.
It’s not like the thought he might hurt someone ever even entered his mind.
