Police flagged Highland Park shooter ‘clear and present danger’ in 2019; he later cleared 4 background checks

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.

How long should a red flag violation last? Should you be stripped of your existing weapons for six months? A year? Lifetime? And if red flagged should you be forever banned from owning a weapon? All based on a administrative hearing before a judge?

Another “Red Flag Law” success story.

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.

My gut tells me this is on purpose. Is this, could this, be a more subtle "Fast and Furious"?

So anyone not eligible for the military shouldn’t be allowed to have guns? The disabled, older, and so on as well?

WASHINGTON – People with a history of “self-mutilation,” bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse can now seek waivers to join the Army under an unannounced policy enacted in August, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

And you’re wrong anyway.. You might want to check facts before making wrong statements and then insulting others.

”So you’d just ban 13.2% just for that? “

You’ve touched on the problem. Such a high percentage of Americans demonstrate dysfunction that it makes it impossible to use such dysfunction as a predictor of danger. Probably over 99.999 % of these nutcases never go on to hurt anybody.

Spend an hour or two watching “Karen” videos on Youtube. Would you really want any of them armed? But then is it practical or desirable to disarm them all?

Democrats were behind the Buffalo, Uvalde and Highland Park shootings.

Buffalo - not Red Flagged
Uvalde - Democrat left door unlocked, Democrat Police gave killer over an hour to murder children
Highland Park - not Red Flagged

Yet somewhere in WV, off I-79, near Jerry Dove Drive sits a "supervisor" who gets his yearly raise and/or bonus because he made sure all the NICS inquiries got from the "IN" basket to the "OUT" basket every month.

From what I've read, the dad sponsored the underage son to get a FOID card. This was around the time the dad was running for mayor. I wonder if this had any impact by authorities to ignore Illinois red flag laws. Articles suggest the kid was a train wreck around that time..

If it were only "one supervisor" and not ALL of them we'd be good.

So even when he fell through police cracks the Father knew he was dangerous on many times, especially when he had knives and threatened to kill him and the entire family. Yet the Father sponsors and signs for him to get guns.

The family knew, the Father knew he was dangerous. He should be charged as an accessory.

Purposeful negligence at the very least. Can’t convince me otherwise.

How many times can they wave these coincidences under the nose of Americans before they get a whiff of what the government is cooking.

Every inch an incel.

I'm confused about his capture, he was firing from a concealed roof top position disguised as a female. He exited the roof top and drove away yet the police ID him and capture him in less than 8 hours.

I must have missed the news items about the police discovering his shooting position, weapons and printed confession or the Good Samaritan who recognized Crimo during his escape and informed the police, right?

Democrat?

It is hard to tell these days for municipal elections in some Illinois jurisdictions. It is sort of weird where I live. County wide and state wide offices have political party affiliation listed on the ballot, while people running for municipal offices often don't. Articles I've read suggest the dad is pro 2nd amendment, but that does prove his party affiliation.
