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.

So much for, “If you hear something say something”...
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.
Must not have spoke up at any school board meetings.
His FATHER is responsible for this also, since he SPONSORED hium in being able to buy all these guns when he was 20.....and the POLICE are incompetent too!
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.
I would BET that the cops did NOT get his COMPUTER to see WHO he was talking with about this!!!
I thought it was on Monday
Yes.....WHO paid him or URGED him???
The laws worked perfectly, so every state should have them. /s
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.
Pretty sure that the MILITARY WON’T TAKE ANY people that have been on SSRIs!! Why do you think that is??? HELLO!! MIND ALTERING DRUGS!
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.
And shouldn't Facebook and Twitter have some kind of algorithm to notice violent fantasies being posted?
YEP! He’s the #2 of the 1-2 punch!
“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.
Ask the MILITARY, RINO!
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.
and STILL, no confirmation/pix of said rifle!
if it really was an AR/AK they’d have held it up like a bloody shirt by now...
this stinks
