I think there's also a reference to Martin Luther King Jr. in the "and there on the screen, a man with a dream". I think it's a sort of illustration of the killer of Martin Luther King Jr. coming home from his 9 to 5 job to King talking about a utopian dream, and thinking it to be the idea of a fool. It may be just from the killer's perspective of any killer who killed a man who had a dream of peace.
