Arrested shooter alive.

Expand full comment

There is only one possibility as of now, President Donald J. Trump. In what he called his most important speech on December 2, 2020, he said "with the resolve and support of the American people, we will restore honesty and integrity to our elections. We will restore trust in our system of government." What bothers me is how much of Washington doesn't seem concerned about the future of our Country. Are we? Happy Fourth.

My wife heard on local radio just now that the shooter is supposed to be:

Woops! Correction per CBS News:

Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen identified a "person of interest" as 22-year-old Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III. He is believed to be driving a silver 2010 Honda Fit, with Illinois license plate DM80653.

Said to be from that area. Conflict on the year of the FIT. Some accounts say 2019.

Robert Eugene "Bobby" Crimo III (born: September 20, 2000 [age 21]), better known by his stage name Awake (stylized as Awake The Rapper), is an American rapper, singer and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois.

Ok, I’ll bite, what exactly does a “real political revolution in the US” look like? Who is the firebrand that will help right the ship of state and inspire the nation to rise to the occasion and make the necessary changes to meet such an historic challenge? Will we storm the DC Bastille and free the political prisoners from Jan. 6? I just don’t see the will for such an act, let alone the wherewithal.

The historical adage that good times make weak men and weak men make bad times and bad times make strong men must play out. There are some truly bad times heading our way.

It's revolutionary depending on your point of view. If you read further down to what he's referring to when he writes:

"We’ll know at this year’s mid-term elections what the American people really think about these things."

The revolution he seems to have in mind is the American people accepting limited government, living within our means and accepting the limits that places on both foreign and domestic policy. That would, one supposes, entail a cultural transformation, as well.

Can we "effect real political change. We’ll know at this year’s mid-term elections what the American people really think about these things." Vote MAGA and we'll see if President Trump can keep his promise and clear out the swamp.

Watched a video. It sounded to me like 2-20 rd mags were used. There's a gap for changing mags.

If there are six dead and twenty-four wounded as being reported by Breitbart, probably more than just one twenty round magazine. Could have been a single thirty round magazine, or two twenties. Or the shooter could have had just one twenty round magazine and got lucky with several rounds striking more than one victim.

I listened to another video. I can see why one listener said you're hearing an echo for each shot. There is a gap, presumably to change mags.

Another commenter claims the echo makes it sound like 2x the # of shots--I dunno.

Meanwhile, the EU ushers in its economic destruction in worship to the Great Green God. This out of The Netherlands.

Local reports say "rifle recovered." Some say as many as 6 dead.

If the shooter had accomplices in a getaway car, it would be very easy to cut hair short and thereby change appearance entirely. Also ditching rifle after use makes sense, if no connection to ID shooter. This--for now--looks planned.

And it could be a ghost gun.

If there was help in planning, we can only speculate as to how knowledgeable that help was. At this point.
