"Illinois police are looking for a White male suspect with black hair and a slim build after a gunman attacked an Independence Day parade in Highland Park (https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/midwest/illinois), a wealthy suburb of Chicago, according to authorities. Investigators believe he is around 19 years old.
He killed at least six people and wounded about two dozen more from a rooftop perch before fleeing...
Covelli said the suspect used "a high-powered rifle" but declined to give a detailed description of the weapon."
Here we go again...
What will is be this time?
White supremacy?
Evil assault weapon?
Background checks and red flag laws?
Ease of acquiring ammunition?
I am getting fed up with these assholes.

Interesting...
- Targeting the 4th of July parade in an affluent, 90% white community.
- Evidence seems to suggest pre-planning.
- Suspect described at petite while male with longer black hair.
Highland Park has signs downtown bragging about their anti-gun policies. I wonder if that is related?
Interesting in all of the reports that they seem to know how old he is as if they actually have an idea of who it might be..

Didn’t see the age mentioned? Highland Park has lead the full stupid charge for decades when it comes to guns, when it is a what local news calls a “wealthy suburb’. It would be like Greenwood Village or Centennial having a shooting. An actual downtown of a former rail/farm town that got captured as a suburb- like downtown Littleton.

Authorities identified a person of interest as 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III, who is believed to be armed and dangerous. He is 22 years old and was driving a 2010 Honda Fit with a license plate DM80653.

Yup. Kinda what we expected.
Face and neck tattoos. Odd colored hair.
Likely a self described "incel". A loner, probably no father around. A scared, sad, lonely boy. And raised on the internet.
Pure speculation on my part. But that sure seems to be a common theme for these idiots.
Although, I gotta admit, the Doc Brown shades are sweet.

He's an aspiring drill rapper!
"One of his music videos, for the song ?Toy Soldier,? features crude, stick-figure-like animation of a man firing a long gun at people and later lying face-down in a pool of blood after apparently being shot by police.
In one (video), he is rapping on a set made to resemble a small classroom. He is seated at a desk and reaches into his backpack; the screen goes dark, and a gunshot-like sound is heard. When the video returns, he is on his knees and falls to the floor. Maniacal laughter is heard, he drops shell casings from his hands and rubs against an American flag."
Red flag material?
Illinois has had a "red flag" law in effect since 2019.
What a creep and obvious mental case. It will be interesting to watch how this whole thing plays out and who/what the media/left blames for it happening.
Very sad, not sure what the answer is but this type of thing is happening WAY too much.
Any suggestions??
My personal opinion is that people are being disenfranchised from living happy and productive lives, due to the excesses of government.
We live in a world where if you say the wrong thing, you may be ostracised. If you do the wrong thing, you may be ostracised. You may even do the right thing, and be ostracised.
You can't own a home. Your prospects are horrendous.
The Government is not a safety net, but rather a liability.
Where, exactly, do I fit in this world?
My suggestion is that we return to a simpler time. Less government spending, Less taxes. More communities, self governed, self sufficient. Self ruling. Self involving. Self seeing problematic kids. etc.

Rapper. Many rappers do mass shootings. Will the liberals dare try and ban rap music? If Trump is responsible for the insurrection then rap music is responsible for a lot of crimes including shootings, killings, rape...

In actuality, this guy looks like exactly the sort of perp than ANY impacting counter-battery fire would cause a cessation of hostile action, including a nice .25 Auto FMJ to the gut.

And there it is. Always finding a way to blame right wingers. They found a picture of him at a Trump rally....so...he's clearly a crazy right winger.
Because a patriotic right winger would target a 4th of July celebration. That makes perfect sense.
But, the media found what they needed. Trump bad. Guns bad.

You're right.
Chicago itself only had 71 shot with 8 killed this weekend.

Those affluent white dems are not immune. Instead of calling for enforcement of laws AND asking why this guy. Who was on their radar was able to do this. Instead they'll cry for tougher gun laws.

So...he dressed as a woman before the shooting to conceal his identity...not buying the conservative slant they are trying to promote.

LE visited him 2019 and confiscated a bunch of knives because he was threatening to kill people. Then in 2020 daddy sponsored his FOID card due to him being underage at the time.
Daddy is going to be in some major legal trouble...

Any news on the gun used?
All I see is "high powered rifle" and similar to an AR-15.
When I think of a high power rifle, first thing that pops into my head is .375 H&H. I doubt this clown would buy something that brutal.
He is a dainty 125 pounds. A .30-30 may be too much for him to handle.
From the audio, it sounds like a semi-auto. If it was an evil AR, I am sure it would be broadcast far and wide. Maybe a mini-14?

I'll go out on a limb and guess that when the dad ran for mayor as a democrat in that town, he had a very anti gun stance on that issue.

They already had the bullshit gun control laws they say they want everywhere because they will protect people from 'gun crime'.
Well, guess what? Words from politicians are nothing but air. Words on paper do exactly jack shit to prevent crime.

I had to scroll long and deep to find any information on this event today. It might be just my news feed algorithm or maybe this event doesn't follow the narrative in that it exposes the fact that red flag laws aren't effective. I'll even go out on a limb and mention that the more we hear about Uvalde, the more we find that the responders can't be counted on. Again, doesn't follow the narrative. I'm wondering if the public is seeing this too? Of course, Lightfoot, Newsome, Hochul, as well as Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer still call for more gun control. I'm wondering how much of the public, outside the anti die hards, take much stock in what those politicians say?
