A Highland Park resident has shared her experiences with the shooter.

She claims he was a "known agitator" who "joined a group of pro-Trump and militia supporters in the summer of 2020 to intimidate residents..."

She claims there are others who pose a danger as well.

1. 'Thanks'

[AntiFascist]

2. K&R "He's no lone wolf"...

Thanks for posting this! I wish more light could be shed on the "MAGA-inspired" forces that are pushing these people over the edge!

[JanMichael]

3. But but online people don't believe he is a magaterrorist!

He is just crazy and we need mental health care!

Why is he just crazy? Maybe the pink hair? Maybe his dumb rap videos? Because that is all some people can see

[onecaliberal]

4. If these people are not locked up they will try to take the country with armed force.

[H2O Man]

5. Intense.

Recommended.

Thank you for this.

7. Wow, just wow.

[herding cats]

9. Not surprising, but still quite chilling to see her tell the tale.

This was brave. I wish her the best and hope she stays safe. They will be targeting here even more now than before.

[Paladin]

10. Blessings on this woman, for having the guts to distribute this information. (nt)

[scarletlib]

11. She was in with Thom Hartmann reporting same thing to him in 1st hour of his show.

[greenjar_01]

12. Two additional points I haven't seen made at all

This Crimo kid seems to have had no job and no prospects. He did not go to college. He lived in a back apartment at his uncles. Where did he get thousands of dollars for gun parchases?

Does Bobby Crimo strike you as the type of guy who's going to pack up the Honda Fit and drive out the wilderness for a little deer hunting?

[Trust_Reality]

14. Good question. Where did he get the money?

[Kaleva]

28. Someone posted he made quite a bit from his videos

[musette_sf]

30. I think that was bull.

Right after the news broke, IMDB still had his “rapper” info up and inexplicably, there was a line there about his net worth being $100K. I don’t think his YouTube junk was that well monetized. Prolly put that line in there himself to feign legitimacy.

[Kaleva]

38. That could very well be true

One has to have a lot of views to make money on YouTube.

[ARPad95]

15. House was his grandfather's. The grandfather, Crimo, Sr., died in 2018 & Crimo III lived there with

his dipshit father, Crimo Jr., and uncle.

[ARPad95]

19. The Honda FIT was his mother's car so Crimo III didn't even own a car.

[IronLionZion]

13. Many Trump supporters are mentally ill and dangerous

and should not have guns

[YoshidaYui]

16. maybe the FBI

AND THE Justice department should look into this.

[arthritisR_US]

29. She reported this in 2020 and the police and FBI did

nothing… I would like to know what the hell is up with that

[Boomerproud]

17. With so much mounting evidence, is the MSM going to keep the blinkers on

or finally report the truth beyond a few rants on Twitter?

[Captain Zero]

25. At least. These people don't belong on the jury

For Crimo.

Don't forget. This is part of the jury pool for Crimo.

[kcr]

18. I hope everyone here who claimed those pics

weren't evidence he was a Trumper, reads this.

[Trust_Reality]

20. "no one was willing to see the signs."

And even those who do are often unwilling to speak up.

It is difficult for parents.

It is difficult for relatives.

It is difficult for neighbors to "get involved" for rear of angering their neighbor.

It requires entering a different paradigm.

It must be done. If not, there will be continued death and mayhem.

[ARPad95]

21. The paternal aunt married into a highly respected HP Jewish family. I wonder if they were ever the

target of the shooter's threat to "kill everyone." This article states the shooter was made to leave a synagogue earlier this year because he had no reason to be there (i.e., not a member):

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2022/7/5/23195435/highland-park-mass-shooting-fourth-july-parade-robert-crimo-synagogue-chabad-michael-masters

Rabbi Yosef Schanowitz released a statement Tuesday saying an individual he believes was Crimo was wearing a yarmulke when he visited the synagogue. He “seemed out of place,” Schanowitz said.

22. MSM is doing a dis-service by NOT reporting this. It is very pertinent and news-worthy.

[SunSeeker]

23. I remember when those aggressive Trump trains rolled through my neighborhood.

It certainly felt like terrorism to me.

[2 Meow Momma]

24. Good grief! I hope this Rachael stays safe.

She risks much posting this and reporting it.

[SoFloDenny]

26. I have no words...

"In Northbrook, the Stop the Steal rallies were violent. People who I was counter-protesting with were hit in the head with thick flag poles by the future shooter and his associates. The police did little when their side crossed the street to confront us repeatedly.
I did reach out to the police and so have others. We’ve been speaking out about the harassment and behavior of local MAGA fanatics but have been ignored, brushed aside, or even made to feel as if we provoked them."

[SoFloDenny]

27. Actually, Shithole comes to mind!

[Baitball Blogger]

31. Time to round up some guns.

[AntiFascist]

33. Washington Post has quoted Wachstein...

...Before the presidential election in 2020, he became a fixture at local rallies in support of President Donald Trump and gatherings of far-right activists, said Rachael Wachstein, a longtime resident who organizes social justice events in the mostly liberal area.

Wachstein said she first saw Crimo at a September gathering of Trump supporters held near the site of the July 4 shooting. It drew a crowd of local counterprotesters, according to Wachstein and local news accounts. “He was pretty aggressive,” she said. “He was up in my friend’s face, shouting.” In photos of the event, Crimo, wearing bright red pants and a sweatshirt with a smiley face, can be seen standing near a crowd holding pro-Trump flags, as police officers monitor the gathering.

In the weeks that followed, Wachstein said she spotted Crimo at a similar pro-Trump event in Northbrook and with a group of far-right activists that showed up to stage counterprotests at weekly vigils Wachstein organized in nearby Deerfield. He often dressed like Waldo from the “Where’s Waldo?” puzzle book series, according to Wachstein and photos of the events.

Given Crimo’s activism, she said, she now wonders whether Crimo attacked the community because of its liberal views. “I could just see him thinking it would be great fun to ruin everyone’s holiday,” she said.

34. The local DA should question his father, too. Looks like a bit of parental grooming's gone on.

Son threatens to kill himself. Son threatens to kill his family. Son has 16 knives taken away. Father then sponsors son's application to buy guns. Son then murders 7 people at a 4th of July parade. Should the father bear criminal responsibility?

Parents offer "thoughts and prayers" and father says his son was raised with "good morals."

Something is very wrong here.

35. Nevilledog ...

Thank you so much for posting this.

Wow.....

[Nevilledog]

[IngridsLittleAngel]

37. Thank you for posting this. And I hope this gets out

I was looking around on Tuesday, looking into the "his dad ran for mayor and lost" stories. I wanted to not only confirm them, but see if he ran for mayor of Highland Park (yes, and yes). One of the articles was flooded with comments, claiming Waldo was "Antifa" and "This was Antifa terrorizing us some more" and all of that shit, despite evidence already suggesting he was UltraMAGA.

The more that gets out, the better. Because the ratfuckers are already trying to ratfuck people into thinking "The shooter was Antifa. See? His name was 'Awake'!" Just like how they tried to ratfuck us and claim Uvalde was done by a trans person.

39. Massively important. She or her info should be the top news angle of this incident.

As always, thank you for finding the most important news angles, Nevilledog.

41. Police did nothing...Surprise!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

42. Who profits from replacing democracy with fascism?

The 6 corporations that hold most of the media that most citizens access? The party that pushes for more guns, less spending on social programs, fewer eligible voters, less taxation of the 1%, and revoking citizens' rights?
