July 4th parade shooting, Highland Park, IL

[Hawkeye]

I mean. These shootings are now happening at a rate that we should just start a "mass shooting thread".

Tru dat.

6 dead, more than two dozen more hospitalized in mass shooting at Highland Park Fourth of July parade; shooter sought

The shooter appeared to have fired from a rooftop, police said. “This doesn’t happen here,” said a witness who ran to safety with his family. “It shouldn’t happen anywhere.”

Miles Zaremski, a Highland Park resident, told the Sun-Times: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”

Well, maybe Miles should hit the range more with pistols and semi-auto shotguns. Well, at least with extended magazines. It was a rifle, though, if the reporting is correct. I haven't read what kind of rifle it was. So no way to know if it's the scary black one or not.

I suspect that the motive may have been about putting fear into people celebrating patriotically.

Hmmm, let’s see, attacking a 4th of July parade. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say probably yet another unhinged libtard with a long history of insane social media posts that spelled out his intentions.

One thing that stood out to me in reporting was he was wearing a "large yellow military style backpack". Uh, what military uses yellow backpacks? Ive seen yellow marine dry bags. But never a yellow military style pack.

Maybe they meant tan?

Maybe Antifa?

First thing that came to my mind when I heard about this!

Lots of reports of cities canceling their 4th of july celebrations. Parades. Fireworks. If this wasn't the goal, it certainly has that effect.

Everything is “military style” to the media, would not surprise me in the least to hear that even the local “journalists” are coached in how to get witnesses to say certain key words.

Naw, this is just a coincidence.

There’s been no shortage this year of insane libtards saying “**** the fourth”.

I don't think it is a coincidence. The Buffalo shooter said himself that he chose the AR purposefully to further drive public sentiment towards gun control. But also, if you want to kill a bunch of people quickly with maximum fear stoked by the communities in which it occurs, the scary black gun is the tool of choice. So in that way it's not coincident. There's a reason.

I joke about it being the FBI, but there's no convincing evidence beyond people's suspicions that this is the case. It's not that it's not believable. I mean, look what happened in Michigan with the kidnapping plot. If they engaged in that sort of thing, it's reasonable to suspect they'd do it elsewhere. But that's not evidence that they did it in any specific instance. It just could be that. And so I joke about it. Not because I believe it actually went down that way.

Could it be an incel simping over RvW for payback? Possibly.

BTW, how many of the fbi operatives in the MI governor kidnapping scam are in prison?

Pile that on top of the mental health degradation that especially this age group has been subject to during the lockdowns of the scamdemic.

And/or local PD. Will check a few more boxes: loner, people from high school will talk about how there was something wrong with this one, tortured animals, history of mental illness, violence towards family members.

I'll be shocked if he hadn't "stated his intentions" more than once.

 

[MrSmitty]

"High Powered" rifle...so, it was a 9mm? that'll blow out a lung.....

Highland Park? They have an AWB and a "high capacity" mag ban. This can't be..

Chicago suburb votes to ban 'assault weapons' and 'high-capacity' magazines (VIDEO) :: Guns.com

The Highland Park city council voted on Monday to ban so-called 'assault' weapons within the city's limits.

In place since 2013. They should've been super-duper uber safe there. Oh wait, criminals don't obey the law, that's why they're criminals.
