Too bad he didn't get the death penalty. I don't know, but wouldhink IL does not have a death penalty.

"Highland Park parade mass shooter Robert Crimo sentenced to life without parole"

https://www.yahoo.com/news/highland-par ... 38170.html

Unsurprisingly he was too much of a coward to even show up for the sentencing hearing.

Guessing he changed his plea to guilty to get some sort of prison consideration.

May he rot in hell.

And we never have to mention his name again.

I wonder if they made him watch on CCTV. Asshole skipped his chance to apologize.

... Dana Rudder Ring attended the parade with her husband and three young children and described the scene of “utter chaos” that broke out when the gunfire erupted.

She and her family fled to an underground garage over broken glass and amid the terrified screams of the parade crowd. They encountered a young boy who was “covered in blood," Ring said through tears. After attempting to find his parents, Ring brought him to her in-laws' home, where they cleaned him and waited for police.

That night, officers picked up the boy to reunite him with his family. Ring eventually discovered that the young boy was 2-year-old Aiden McCarthy, whose parents, Kevin and Irina, were both killed in the attack.

2-years-old and he knew to find cover and a caring family. Let's hope his memories fade.

What happened in the Highland Park shooting?

... Crimo had a history of erratic behavior and had been visited twice by police in the years before the attack, including in 2019 when authorities confiscated several knives because Crimo had threatened to "kill everyone" in his house. The rifle he used in the shooting was legally purchased.

His father, Robert Crimo Jr., pleaded guilty in November 2023 to seven counts of reckless conduct and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 100 hours of community service for agreeing to sponsor his son’s gun license application.

This is a failure of our gun laws.

Ugh, different article:

... Survivors and relatives of those killed read statements addressed to Crimo, even though authorities said he refused to appear in court or watch from jail.

Ammosexual coward.

Yeah. I guess we should pass laws to outlaw deranged guns.

[GoCubsGo]

The gun certainly couldn't be a problem.

[O Really]

Yeah. I guess we should pass laws to outlaw deranged guns.

I've got four easy questions for you. No tricks involved:
1. Why do we have any laws?
2. If a law can't be 100% enforced, is it worth having?
3. Are there any examples of laws with 100% compliance?
4. Should fentanyl be legally and readily available for all since it's the person, not the drug, that causes damage?

[Supsalemgr]

Yeah. I guess we should pass laws to outlaw deranged guns.

I've got four easy questions for you. No tricks involved:
1. Why do we have any laws? Irrelevant to the point.
2. If a law can't be 100% enforced, is it worth having? Depends on how it might be enforced.
3. Are there any examples of laws with 100% compliance? Not that I am aware of.
4. Should fentanyl be legally and readily available for all since it's the person, not the drug, that causes damage? Absolutely not.

I would be impossible to have a society with twice as many guns as people and expect to have laws controlling only the actions of people. There are several reasons for this, not the least of which is that a large number of shootings aren't by criminals or mentally "deranged", but by pissed off people who have easy access to dangerous weapons. So a guy with no former criminal record but a legal gun in his car goes off to work with no expectation whatsoever of committing murder finds himself in a road rage incident and chooses to shoot instead of driving away. No, you're not going to prevent that by having laws against shooting people. Further, in the case of the perpetually pissed off violent person, you can't do much to prevent him from shooting somebody until he has shot them. Thus the conundrum of the pro-gun people - "Oh, we don't want to limit access to guns; 2nd Amendment and all that." "Oh more laws wouldn't have prevented that guy in the school...' So the result is doing nothing past the occasional "harummph" and thoughts and prayers and throwing up red herrings and "whuddabouts" at every suggestion.

It's a complex problem, but the path to solutions is clear and irrefutable: you can control the people or you can control the weapons. There are no other solutions, but there are worldwide examples of how to get there.

And BTW, I don't think fentanyl should be legally and readily available to all either, but if one actually believes "guns don't kill, people do" then one can't avoid the equal truth that "fentanyl doesn't kill, users do"

Supersales, you should ask him why he lives in a gated community. Betcha he owns a gun too.

[Vrede too]

Anyone convicted, like the Highland Park shooter, is deemed legally NOT "deranged". MAGA ignorance of the fundamentals of Civics and our justice system is astounding.

The question remains - Why does MAGA want to heavily arm the deranged and people it thinks are "deranged"? And, if "deranged" is such a serious problem, why does MAGA consistently slash mental health funding?

Finally, why does MAGA always act so weak and helpless when we know that EVERY non-war zone developed nation achieves a much lower murder and injury rate with sensible gun control measures?

Extreme ammosexuality:

A mom is accused of buying ammunition and tactical gear for her son, who authorities say was planning ‘mass targeted violence’ at a Texas school

Otoh, Nana is a hero:

... The affidavit says on Monday, the student’s grandmother reported to San Antonio police that she found troubling items in her home in her grandson’s bedroom. According to the affidavit, the grandmother learned the previous day that Pardo gave him ammunition. She told authorities Pardo had taken him to a local surplus store and bought him tactical gear including magazines, a tactical vest capable of concealing ballistic plates, a tactical helmet and army clothing.

She also found magazines loaded with live ammunition, along with a homemade explosive device made from a mortar-style firework, according to the affidavit. Written on the device was “For Brenton Tarrant,” a white supremacist who shot and killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019. Authorities said it also included the phrase “14 words” and multiple “SS” symbols, all linked to white supremacist ideology.

The boy’s grandmother also found a handwritten note with what appeared to be the names of mass shooters and the number of victims from each shooting, the affidavit said. On Monday morning, before going to school, he told her he was “going to be famous” and referenced “14 words,” the affidavit said....

Fourteen Words RW White supremacist, of course. Islamophobe, too:

About a month ago, the boy was suspended for using a school-issued computer to research the New Zealand mosque shootings, according to the affidavit....

Thanks, NRA.

Thanks, NRA.

Despite being contacted by local law enforcement, child protective services and school personnel - and knowing about her son’s desire to “commit acts of mass violence” - Pardo told the school she was not concerned about his behavior, the affidavit says. Authorities say she purchased tactical gear, ammunition and supplies for her son in exchange for babysitting his younger siblings. She “intentionally and knowingly aided” her son, the affidavit states.

I'm gonna guess she's not well.

But I guess she's well enough to buy guns, ammo and tactical gear.

'Hero' Teen Gamer Thwarts Mass Casualty Attack on California School

A "hero" teen gamer seemingly thwarted a plan to carry out a school attack intended to kill more than 100 people.

The Tennessee resident called the Tehama County Sheriff's Office on May 9 to report that a teenager he had been playing online games with was speaking about school violence.

When officers investigated, they found that a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old had built and tested two improvised explosive devices as part of their plans to attack Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood, California, Tehama County Sheriff Dave Kain said at a press conference on Tuesday.

"The suspects were hopeful to amass a casualty count in excess of 100 individuals," Kain said.

Both teenagers were arrested for criminal threats, possession of a destructive device, manufacturing a destructive device and conspiracy to commit a felony. They were booked into Tehama County Juvenile Justice Center....

Phew.

The article doesn't say where in TN the "'Hero' Teen Gamer" lives. Wherever,

To save you the confusion I had for a few minutes:
Cottonwood, California straddles the Tehama and Shasta County line.
Wiki lists it as being in Shasta County.
The school, with a Cottonwood address, is in Tehama County.
