Despite threatening to kill his family, NO charges were filed. The father signed an authorisation for his son's gun purchase. What does this tell you about accountability and responsibility? The parents will lose EVERYTHING in the ensuing individual and class action law suits.

Stop talking about shooter. He needs no fame

STOP SAYING HIS NAME! Stop giving these guys the notoriety they desire. You are creating the NEXT MASS SHOOTER. ALL OF YOU, STOP. Please, for the love of humanity. Stop

Is domestic terrorism one of them?

Now look what he did 3 years later. Black people are not to blame for any mass shooting across America. Oh I forgot the white people don’t have problems in life but continue to do mass shooting. So sad

This sort of thing will happen in a country that's rotten to the core.

The US is a sick country.

AND YOU WANTED TO DEFUND THE POLICE

Lots of red flags yet still able to get a permit to acquire firearms. Good work Illinois voters.

Report REAL news. Hunters laptop ! 💻 Get to the bottom of that please!!!!

But because no police report was filed he could purchase a gun. Police need to be able to flag a persons name when they are called to this type of incident then it would pop up when a background check is run.

Police…..damn do your jobs😡🤬

TRUMPSAMERICA TRUMPneveragain

The armed vigilantes were nowhere to be found.

White guy shoots up a crowd of people. Police manage to not shoot him 60 times. Funny how that always happens.

As if that will stop the gun nuts

. HOW are you at CNN doing with Hunters Laptop? Joe Biden with Hunters Business Partners? The O P E N Southern Border? 200,000 Plus coming in Monthly! 1,000 of 's of Fentanyl killing people! 800,000 ‘Got-Aways’! 750 DEAD coming here since Joey took office Joey! WELL? .

. Yet no one documented this anywhere for Law Enforcement to find before allowing him to buy 5 guns? That needs to change, we need to have a place for Police to document this and for Law Enforcement to find it when people like him seek to buy a gun. .

Legal age to purchase a weapon should be 30,our young generation do the shooting in our cities

Don't just love the Republican Party. Americans being murdered whilst they support the NRA genocide. Then there's the theft of real wages to a reported 30% of workers whilst the billionaires continue to take it all. Some things never change. VOTE THEM OUT if you want democracy!

Chicago: - 51 people shot over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, the most violent in five years - 54 people shot over Independence Day weekend, 7 dead. Democrats didn't say a word.

Will this charge bring back the dead? Prevent it by banning assault riffles!

But he was still allowed to legally buy a gun.

The state’s red flag law wasn’t used to take weapons away from Crimo. Current laws did nothing to head off his purchase of weapons. The family should be arrested/charged with abating. The red flags were there! They police failed like they failed in Uvalde.

Yet still walking free with access to a gun. What a country we live in.

The Wray FBI did NOTHING But they did send a SWAT team to arrest Peter Navarro.

But none of the blacks that murdered and shot BLACKS at the weekend in Chicago have been identified. That is the real story and it has gone on for decades. BLACKS control everything in Chicago

Disband, ban NRA.

Stand against Mongol Wave Two (MWII)

So sad. I appreciate not mentioning the shooters name, or showing their picture. What if we started using them/they/their pronouns to increase the anonymity? Might further show their irrelevance. Thanks for what you do.

Illinois should bring back the death penalty. Anyone murders anyone that may stop a lot of nonsense in that state

And the GOP NRA’s Republican Death Cult still put an AR15 in his hands.

HE ACTUALLY WAS KEPT ALIVE LONG ENOUGH TO FACE CHARGES!!! WHAAAAT? N ACTUALLY LIVED TO GO B4 A JUDGE? WHATTTT HE DIDNT GET SHOT AT 90 TIMES WITH 60 BULLETS LANDING WHAAAT AMERICA AT ITS BEST!!😏

Charge his father too after he sponsored a FOID card AFTER his own family called the cops on him for making previous threats.

How did the jerk get his weapons!?!

The problem is too many evil hearts ♥️ with access to weapons suitable for war! He who believes that more guns is the solution is an ignorant idiot who’s mind won’t change unless their own loved one is a victim 😢

And no ongoing watchlist?

For those who want to know, if mental illness is reported on application to obtain guns/permits legally, the gun shops are supposed to require a permission statement from a licensed psychiatrist and clean mental health record for atleast 1 year (?).

Awesome job

DeathPenalty for that Murder and GunControlNow

They should get him the DeathPenalty that way any other shoiters Murders can learn

Breaking news: The charges have now been escalated… “instead of facing a life sentence, the suspect will now be treated like an unarmed black man at a traffic stop” 🙏🏾 prayers up… 😞

When buying weapons there should b a mental health chk.

And then he legally bought a gun.

schfinkes His dad had to sponsor him to buy the gun. If that doesn't make the dad legally responsible for what he did, what is the point of requiring a sponsor?

Well then that's on the Highland Park Police, isn't it? How did this young man buy GUNS?

I think a lot of blame falls on the relatives who are complicit!

A reason we need to bring back institutions where mentally unstable violent people can be housed and treated.

Good fry that fucker

Every liberal and democrat again blows the ‘angry’ and ‘outraged’ horn with not an original idea on the table to move NRA-committed Republican congressmen. So, let’s get creative. Every public servant - teacher, policeman, fireman, etc.- must exercise MLK disobedience and strike.

Insane asylum's needed again...

This Community can only heal if Congress passes Legislation addressing these weapons! These particular weapons !!!

Nothing to see here!

I think because crimo Illinois parade shooter planned this week's in advance then why should the American Tax payer keep this lump of evil , I think they should give him the death penalty and I'm sure the families of these poor victim's will agree to . 🙏 for the families . 💔

Why can’t Congress do something that’s for the common good of Americans?

every single politician say repeatedly oh we must put an end to this is not doing ANYTHING!!! We must protest outside of EVERY politician's home that is stopping a ban on assault weapons and a background check. davidhogg111 I'm talking about millions of people. Let's do it!!

How does someone like Him get a High Powered Gun that can Whiz out Bullets like in a WAR ZONE HOW !!!

So clearly we need to protest outside of every Republican's home that is voting against background checks and and assault weapons.

Waiting for the next one....

Why wasn’t he gunned down with 60 bullet wounds? His body should be in pieces in a morgue somewhere after the piggies do what they do. Oh wait, he’s white. My bad.

And what does Dad do in Jan 2020? Sponsor pos FOID application ffs

And yet legally bought an AR.

End stage disease. Complacent complicit to white euro fascist violent might and white is right capitalist consumerist immoral imperialism..YOUR LIFESTYLE MAKES IT POSSIBLE CORPORATE SHEEPLE FOR SLAUGHTER...defunct congress for irresponsible greedy pig sheeple.

Mass shooting in American is like a cancer thst just won’t go away

Why they didn't take him to treat his mental condition?

They are being inspired by the right wing propaganda.

Strange all these domestic terrorists have a history of threatening to kill, not put on watch, just free to plan and act out their intentions Now the crutch of 'mental illness' claim will potentially spare them prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Throw away the key.

Charges are irrelevant. Fry him!!!

Too bad Illinois did away with the death penalty.

Didn't his uncle who lived in the house say, and I quote, 'There we're no warning signs'? 🤔

& HE WAS TAKEN IN ALIVE .....

…and yet he was still able to buy a gun?! UN-fucking-believable! Shooter

All of these kind of crimes should have an automatic death sentence. Why should these no good SOB have a right to a life sentence and live off of the tax payers? Hell no they don't deserve to breath any more.

Anyone know how the police knew he was a person of interest when the chief of police said he blended in and escaped unnoticed?

THE MEANING OF LIFE

The fact this was reported to Illinois State Police, but never reported to the NICS system tells us the system is broken!

I heard he identified as a 'rapper' will his record label get charged with a RICO for his lyrical content? 🤔 AskingForACommunity

GOPLeader LeaderMcConnell GOP GOPHouseOfRep SenateGOP HighlandPark GunViolence See the difference in the number of victims between a knife and a weapon of mass destruction? Same crazy guy, different weapons, less people dead.

62 shot in Chicago with 10 dead. CNN ignores that.

A person under age 30 should not be able to purchase a weapon all the killing is coming from our your generation,a law need made for our young generation.

Parents and family members, save your young male and everyone they will shoot! I'm going out on a limb, but I think the uncle and family knew there was something wrong. They didn't help the shooter, instead enabled him! Who signed for his first gun?

Argentina officially declared that it wants to join the BRICS countries, the world policeman is left alone, everyone is leaving him..

SMH

Excellent now how about we work on PREVENTION!!!

Yet another crackpot with a gun. There are thousands of them.

Wasn’t that a sign 😡

Why are you not including he was Antifa? There is more than enough actual proof! Doesn’t fit your agenda?

ESugarloaf The mother in law crawling into a store shielding her grandchild brings tears to my eyes that there are still good people out there abd is just crazy we can't come together to end these daily scenes. My 💔 for these people.

Why don’t they make a mandatory death sentence for these people, maybe they’ll think twice!

He should have at the least been on probation for that. And made to see a parole officer every so often? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

If we just focus on the guns & not the mental illness problem in this country with young people, we are never going to overcome this 😕

Can we have these terrorist on some kinda of watch list? Oh they’re white, so you can’t do that.

Come on you had your chance to take this lowlife out but you let him carry on. This is the consequence.

We can find osama bin laden, stop potential terrorist threats, but we cannot defend our homeland from domestic terror

a red flag law would of stopped him from buying a assault rifle. We need our legislators to act now!

Charge the parents. I saw pics of dad with his son with a MAGA hat. Another relative reported him in 2019 making threats and had weapons taken by cops then. Charge the parents.

The fact that he was allowed to purchase a gun after 2019 is unbelievable. Might be time to build a wall around you Mf

Yeah, sounds like someone didn't report him being crazy to the NICS database. What's the point of having more gun laws if we don't execute the ones that are on the books? This was 100% preventable if in 2019 people reported him to NICS - suicide is 'danger to self'.

Well I guess this is population control right. Round you up like cattle could keep giving sick people guns and now you’re saying that you even knew about it.

So family did report.

Would love to see what would've happened if he was Black and threatened to 'kill everyone' and had knives and a sword.

So if they already took weapons from his home. How did he get more without anyone knowing👹

The only thing about gun massacres that is surprising anymore is that normal people haven’t gotten together to use their vote against any politician who kowtows to the NRA or their irresponsible 2nd Amendment extremist followers.

There is saying bad publicity is better then no publicity. I believe this was a case of someone who wanted to be somebody. Who wanted everyone to know his name. A fantasy he decided to live. No other real motive.

Sounds like the red flag law that Illinois has didn't work but yet the democrats keep pushing it

Why should anybody feel sad anymore when Americans refuse to vote to stop these things?

He said he was going “Conan” on everyone.

And yet they still let him roam free. Top policing 🤦‍♀️

…. but they let him have a gun after that? sounds like america

The cops just waited in the hallway, again. 👍🏻

Ban guns now .!!!!

Gun violence is preventable

But he was cleared for a gun? Go 'Merica!

Nice background check.

So…better background checks?😐
