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.

The left needs chaos to justify bigger government, so...
The FBI is taunting us with that.
We want to know , how did he acquire that rifle? Was it a family mambers?
A friend’s? Did he buy it? If so, where did he get the money?
So many questions. We’ll see how many answers we get…
I happen to be in St. Louis and I decided tonight to go to Chesterfield and watch the fireworks and not into the city. It’s just too dangerous anymore to be in the city of St. Louis with a number one in crime rate in the country. It’s a sad situation. The fireworks were 10 times better I’m sure at the St. Louis Riverfront. It’s just unsafe to be in the city anymore.
One vid I listened to had the boom-klackety-boom AK cadence. With sound bouncing off of buildings, who. An say?
“Rip him limb from limb in a public place, NOW. This will stop.”
Give him the William Wallace.
“Following the trial, on 23 August 1305, Wallace was taken from the hall to the Tower of London, then stripped naked and dragged through the city at the heels of a horse to the Elms at Smithfield. He was strangled by hanging, but released while he was still alive, emasculated, eviscerated and his bowels burned before him, beheaded, then cut into four parts. His preserved head (dipped in tar) was placed on a pike atop London Bridge.”
What a contradiction on so many levels
Pencil neck
Trying to look tough
Wearing skinny jeans
A size smedium shirt
Man spreading
While fig-leafing.
Gumby was a bad @$$ compared to you.
Yer soft son.
Walk away before you hurt yourself punk

That is true...the covid panic squashed a lot of aspiring artists.
I thought I read somewhere he has a net worth of $100k. He might have had his own money. Highland Park isn’t exactly the cheap seats.
I kinda think that telling adolescent boys that they can be girls causes some mental health issues. It’s child abuse.
Funny how he chose to murder people that were out celebrating the 4th of July. Sort of how another killer chose to murder people at a Country Western concert shortly after Trump won the election...
[[They had this ideological concept of - The Deed!]]
Exactly- Good post- you hit it right on the head-
they feel they are ‘sacrificing their lives’ for the ‘sake of the cause’ (ie, the cause being gun control apparently- they seem to really ramp up when liberals control the country- knowing that the libs will immediately scream for gun control, instead of calling for measures that will actually make a difference, like issuing SHALL ISSUE CC licensees- and arming guards in schools, and other current gun free zones so that the sick mentally ill criminals will think twice knowing that they won’t get very far, and they won’t get their desired 15 minutes of fame)
both suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome perhaps- hogg’s facial features seem to indicate it
[[Funny how he chose to murder people that were out celebrating the 4th of July.]]
yup=- it is possible that he mighta been encouraged to act by the “F#%%^ The Fourth” event that the left recently promoted-
saw post malone on the show ridiculousness-
He was part of a Hip Hop concert at 3356 N Karlov Ave., Chicago, with some 80 bands/singers that played Sept 20, 2019. The website associated with that had an annoying popup that madelooking at the linked advertisement poster difficult.
