Police flagged Highland Park shooter ‘clear and present danger’ in 2019; he later cleared 4 background checks
Fox News ^ | July 6, 2022 | Lawrence Richard

The suspect in the Highland Park, Illinois, Fourth of July mass shooting was flagged by police as a "clear and present danger" in 2019, authorities said Tuesday.

Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III, 21, the suspect in the mass shooting that killed seven people and wounded dozens of others at a Fourth of July parade, was still able to clear state-required background checks to purchase firearms on at least four separate occasions between 2020 and 2021, the Illinois State Police said.

"In September 2019, ISP received a Clear and Present Danger report on the subject from the Highland Park Police Department. The report was related to threats the subject made against his family," Illinois State Police said in a statement posted to Twitter by a staff member for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

Biden should be flagged a clear and present danger also.

Kinda strange how all these known dangers keep falling through the cracks.

It seems like most of the mass shooters can be looked up in some database as mentally ill but not committed so they can buy a gun. This leads many to wonder if they are being deliberately triggered somehow.

....almost like a conspiracy!

...in the meantime, the real agenda is being realized....

Gee, I wonder.

See my above.

Oh for crying out loud!
Can the MSM try ANY harder to give this freak more respect?
“Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III”, but normal people routinely have their names abbreviated by the same press.
This murderer should only be addressed by initials or a number like 622, sixth punk shooter of 2022.
How many more copy-cat killers will they inspire?

That’s the tricky part. How do you tag the dangerous ones vs the ones that need help and won’t get it because they’ll lose rights for just trying?

The left would probably love to ban anyone that’s been on SSRIs for instance.

Copy-cat killers is my worry, too.

The media and their political cohorts thrive on it.

Even FOX. ALL day on Sunday, FOX was fixated on this story non-stop, with ALL day coverage.

There was even a telephone interview with some guy who was an ex-FBI not so special agent, who called the shooter a “wingnut.’

Isn’t that word what the left calls conservatives?

Ticked me off.

What’s the point in law enforcement flagging something when the flagging system is obviously flawed or is a straight failure? Just asking for a friend.

Fox is lobbying for something when they do that.

They did Ukraine screaming 24 hrs until Gobs of money were sent to Ukraine and the Caymans.

I’ve seen it over and over. They did it with Mueller, until he was appointed.

This won't end until we lose the right to the 2nd amendment.
