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.

Robert Crimo III? There are two more of them?

I swear, this state is so screwed up. I hate living here, and I can’t afford to leave...

As in all the cases we have seen so far law enforcement and the FBI knew these perps and did nothing. No problem though with a pre dawn raid guns drawn and chains and shackles on roger stone, peter Navarro and one of trumps lawyers. What is this telling us folks

Almost seems like they are being used in a program like MK ULTRA and since they are mentally disturbed already, they are easily manipulated into doing whatever the powers that be decide.

It is done on purpose to let a hitman pass thru for advancing the gun control agenda. Check this guy`s bank s accounts, cash flow and large expensive purchases for the govt payoff, maybe to his parents accounts also. Follow the money trail. He did not fall thru the racks. Somebody in govt access to the system datasets actually opened all the doors for him. I ain`t stupoid. Even my cat can figure this one out when I let a mouse come in the room on purpose. She aint stupioid neither.

My gut tells me background checks are being flubbed on purpose in order to put the public in danger and to turn us against the 2A. Yes, that sounds paranoid but it makes sense.

BIG government doesn’t work. All the signs were there, they had all the laws, yet this obviously mental case kid was never provided the mental help he desperately needed. He was a train wreck ad the adults, including his teachers and parents turned a blind eye.

If the police spent as much time and effort on tracking sick violence puppies on social media as they do pretending to be 12-year-olds on-line, this guy should have popped up as a problem.

And shouldn't Facebook and Twitter have some kind of algorithm to notice violent fantasies being posted?

“Summary. During 2015–2018, 13.2% of Americans aged 18 and over reported taking antidepressant medication in the past 30 days. Antidepressant use was higher among women than men in every age group.”

So you’d just ban 13.2% just for that? That’s some serious gun grabbing.

I think it's a case of big government incompetence. Our agencies seemingly ALWAYS have the info, yet flub it up. take 9-11 as an example.
