A 22 year-old rapper has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing six people at a July 4 parade in an affluent Chicago suburb.
Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III was intercepted by cops in North Lake Forest, Chicago, after 7pm local time Monday evening when cops saw the silver Honda Fit he was last seen driving.
Dramatic photographs from the scene show the suspected mass-murderer - who posted creepy clips about shooting massacres online - being pinned to the ground face-down by police.
Cops say Crimo opened fire from a rooftop, into a crowd who at first confused the sound of gunshots with Independence Day fireworks.
A total of 26 victims aged between eight and 85 were injured, with six still receiving hospital treatment. The area has a large Jewish community, although police have yet to share a possible motive for Monday's slaughter.
Crimo is from of the Highland Park area and posted rap videos online using the name Awake. In one song, the suspect wrote: 'My actions will be valiant and my thought is unnecessary, I know what I have to do, I know what's in it, not only for me, but for everyone else.'
The doom-laden words were set to drawings of a figure who looked like Crimo pointing a rifle while a person lies prone on the ground, and another holds their hands up in the air.
At one point, a grab of a newspaper clipping about JFK's murderer Lee Harvey Oswald is visible.
An IMDb page about the suspect describes him as a 'rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and director from Chicago.'
The most viewed video on the rapper's YouTube channel is the music video for his song: 'On My Mind.' The video, showing a the suspect in a classroom.

I’ve assumed they’re doing maintenance.
Is that Jacksonville?
Please see 71. Is that Jacksonville?
I doubt his actions have anything to do with politics.
I think I read in a recent comment that you were located in the Sunshine State. If so, I will pose the question: isn’t the map in the right third of the photo (in comment #71) of Jacksonville, FL?

The lower left of the map says so.
Worse example: The Parkland school shooting. That kid was kicked out for bad behavior. The local LEO had him in twice for interrogation. Everyone associated with new he was a bad seed.
I have been saying for some time that anonymous Social Media is a breeding ground for the mentally ill and the born bad. Yes, some try to monitor their sites for violent postings, but apparently not all. What is Spotify where he posted his lame rap songs and pics of him in military gear, and what amounts to a manifesto over various remarks?
Oh I doubt he’s politically motivated, at least not in any organized way. Rather, I subscribe to the “liberalism is a mental disorder” school of thought.
