Shooting at Highland Park, IL 4th of July Parade?
- Thread starter afmiller
- Start date
There's photos of this loser wrapping himself in a Trump flag and hanging out at MAGA rallies and WDDT is still trying to pretend he's a socialist. Lol
That's my co-workers theory
I just don’t understand why kill random
Innocent people? Just senseless
Oh good, it's time for the experts to chime in on needing to address mental health when 1) they don't have a known diagnosis to address, 2) don't want to pay to remediate aforementioned non-diagnosis, and 3) have no training in diagnosing mental health issues.
They reported he was tracked down due to the gun serial number/registration. So sounds like on the up and up.
Well, that’s not entirely true. At least for point #3. @Whiskeydeltadeltatango
So a young kid bought the gun on his own.
We really need to increase the age to buy firearms to 21.
I need to see the receipts on this. Who is personally telling him this or is he one of those people who just go along with the crowd non thinking for themselves type person? People have freedom of thought, no?
Haven’t read through this whole thread but has anyone brought up how big of an influence the internet must have been on this kid and other young shooters? There has been mention of his YouTube vids and what he “liked” on the internet. The ease to the gun was not hard but what about all the years of getting fed BS that he thought was truth through the most formative years of his brain development?
The talks are just in the beginning stages about this stuff with how evil the algorithm is on social media but the ease of access to some of these websites (4chan types)for young people is easier then getting a gun. These kids are the first to grow up with high speed internet for their whole life. I’ve mentioned this a couple times from the last young male shooters but when will we be able to charge these websites? Can’t we use the data from his web history to make them an accomplice to this type of shit? It is getting pretty damn obvious why we are seeing more young male shooters at the moment.

How about you've lost your virginity. Virgins aren't allowed to have a gun.
Social media has amplified their complete ineptness in life.
Absolutely. I somehow bumped onto a Twitter account that posted videos and news articles of black-on-other race crimes (without saying what it was). That was the timeline with daily new videos.
Kind of like watching youtube video after video of cops being a-holes. I can easily see how someone can become indoctrinated with hate vs. an entity in a very short span.
You can believe whatever you want, his politics are not what killed people, his lack of regard for life is what did. I'm familiar with the the trump flag photo of him standing on a chair like Washington crossing the Delaware. I'm also familiar with him waving at the Trump motorcade as well as in the Trump Rally. What I have read was he did this shit to incite people and get reactions.
None of that actually matters. What matters is a 22 year old reject, gave plenty of warning signs, if anyone would have actually paid attention and had the balls to do something.
Yes. Blame "the internets".
NOT the people who post the content, who are the darlings of certain mainstream media conglomerates. Typically, the rightwing ones that thrive off NRA money.
“I’ve mentioned this a couple times from the last young male shooters but when will we be able to charge these websites? Can’t we use the data from his web history to make them an accomplice to this type of shit?”
Charge the website and the people that were basically grooming him
You are such a shill, you go from "blame the internets" to "blame the media" because "blame the ****ing loser and the people who should have been his support structure" actually has a face.
I'm not a shill.
I oppose the rhetoric the NRA and other rightwingers post that criminals like this kid were attracted to.
But we should "blame the internets".
I guess we should disregard social media which is on “the internets” and the huge uptick in young adolescent girls suicide rates? Or is that different?
Agreed. Social media and access to high powered fire arms. Not a great combo
This is the silliest thing I’ve ever seen someone get this triggered over.
But I concur. There’s nothing more American than a mass shooting. The French have their cuisine and generally being snobbish pricks. The Germans have their engineering. Americans have mass shootings.
The more I look at this dude. He appears more to be a fame whore. Trump is an easy target for him to latch onto because he takes up so much bandwidth. Similar to the Shaman who stormed the Capitol. He was shooting at Randos. If this had been a Jewish, minority, etc target. Then the domestic terrorist label would fit.
We need another Vietnam to send these kids off to. That will straighten them out.
Nah, it's just weird, man. Incels are hard right wing nut jobs, I wonder why that is.
You do know that there are many of them on here right? And I'm not joking or making fun of anyone I'm talking about people who have openly stated they no.longer pursue sexual activity due to rejection or effort.
We call that marriage.
^ isn't reading the vibe of the room and continues to spew unverified social media hate.
I say this with 100% sincerity, I know a shit ton of gun people, of everyone I interact with that I low key might think would shoot up a "rally" or go way off the deep end. Chishawk1425 is my most likely acquaintance, and I know many former military that suffer from Ptsd.
Would it actually surprise you or would you feel a certain amount of "the warning signs were there" If we found out "chris" shot up a "magat" rally?
Bit ****ed isn't it.
Looks like we had a mass shooting causing a stampede, a shooting in Philadelphia causing a stampede, and a believed shooting in Orlando causing a stampede. When is enough going to be enough for the gun-access crowd? This is no way to live
