It was unclear if he was living with his mom or dad or in the separate house out back of his dad’s in early 2019 when he threatened suicide and psychologists treated him. Still don’t know when they divorced. Or did they? Was there a custody battle for the kids? We’re they even married? If he was living with his mom that may have been kept quiet between her and the psychologist/s? Or Dad did know and maybe didn’t believe the kid was seriously suicidal, or thought the kid was in more danger driving around by himself to work and such from Chicago area crime than he was to himself. Were there riots in that small town in 2019? I think the guy was still employed in 2019. The second call to the police was in Sept 2019, late in the year. Dad might have already signed for him by then. Evidently no more issues after that with law enforcement , so the kid was able to renew it by himself when he turned 21. Maybe they should require a drug test.

From the Epoch Times article :


Greenberg on Wednesday said the police then renewed the card when Crimo III turned 21 “without any involvement from his father.”

The cops let that card get renewed, in spite of being notified of the threats in 2019 ???

They’re at fault also.

The only thing they need to sort out is why they didn't get their son the mental counseling he obviously needed, for years.

I agree with you. That said, I also think we should stop giving our disintegrating culture a pass. Disaffected people are, I believe, more impressionable by the crud that inundates our airwaves and online 'culture'. It's ugly and it's sick and it's destructive.

well, sure the parents think that twink is A-Okay, but the gun store employee who sold him a gun,when the kid looks like a mental case, should be questioned about HIS mental state.
That’s what i meant.

I honestly don’t do broadcast TV in my home. There’s movies to watch and some news, and no Facebook for our children who are little either.

“Now the taxpayers of Illinois have to bear the cost of this miserable larvae’s incarceration. Maybe he’ll get the Jeffrey Dahmer execution while in prison: a broken broomstick in the back door ala vlad the impaler.”

We can only hope...

There is a lot more coverage for this event than the Christmas Parade driving massacre in Wisconsin.

The father made statements about “I thought my son was collecting guns, that’s all. When I was a boy I collected coins and baseball cards.” But no dresses, I take it...

The father may be committed of a crime by filing a fraudulent background check for his son’s gun.

OTOH, the two are certainly going to be sued thru civil court. What insurance they have is another issue, and even then the insurance company won’t cover it.

Leaving the victims with nothing.
