They said it could be some 22 year old named Robert Crimo. Or could be someone else.

You know whats going to happen next year? Some copycat (or even better, the same shooter) will start shooting at the July 4th firework crowds.

Its a natural next step of shooting at the July 4th parade.

Spotify today put entry of the gladiators after the obligatory stars and stripes. I had a good chuckle at that.

Also, why does everyone seem surprised we don't know the shooter's life story? He opened fire from a rooftop and then legged it. It's not like a school shooting where the gunman is committing suicide and you have a body immediately after pd enters the building several hours after the shooting starts

It'd be a shame to have tear gas and not use it. So when are protestors going to stop showing up naked and start having gas masks?

Well there are tons of video with that name and that's a lot of videos to do for that kind of prank, but yeah it's possible. It's just a late minute rename.

Officials identify the suspect in the July Fourth mass shooting in Illinois

Officials have identified the alleged gunman behind the July Fourth parade attack in Highland Park, Ill., as Robert E. Crimo III.

The 22-year-old, who goes by Bobby, is said to be driving a 2010 silver Honda Fit with Illinois plates. He is from the area and is considered armed and dangerous, said Sgt. Christopher Covelli of the Lake County Major Crime Task Force.

Yeah, I was kinda hesitant to post it, but once I saw the cops announced his name and age, I figured that dude and some random rapper (of the same name, age and from IL) couldn't just be a coincidence. I try to be very careful of that kinda thing, as I know it's legit ruined lives before.

His raps sucked so bad, more like "Put Me to Sleep the Rapper!" :haw:

No really, it wasn't even rapping. Just bad singing. For some reason I assumed it would be Chicago drill, ha. Think more Lil Peep than Chief Keef.

His YouTube account is already terminated but if you search his name in quotes, the YouTube automated copyright system still has all his songs that were uploaded by a 3rd party. For now anyways.

I'm not trying to :ohdear: but I'm genuinely scared he's going to kill more. You can't just shoot hella people at a parade, then blend in and go in hiding with some prominent face tattoo. Even the most faceblind goon person can look at someone and go "Yo that dude's eyebrow says "AWAKE"

One of them was a lovely animated thing (think a Newgrounds MS Paint deal from like 2004) music video featuring the dude's OC getting shot and killed by cops....uploaded a year or two ago.

The other one was a VERY HD (4K? I'm dumb and don't know video tech words, the video quality was very high) music video of him in an empty classroom, but nothing :stare: really happened other than some awkward dancing.

The third video wasn't a music video, it was just him POV walking around some long empty hallways, like that whole "backrooms" creepy Internet thing.
