During a July 4th celebration in Highland Park, a suburb north of Chicago, a gunman has opened fire shooting at least 16 people and reported killing 6 people. A press conference is pending. The shooting took place during a parade to celebrate the Fourth of July. {Press Conference Livestream} The shooter is NOT in custody.
Suspect description: White Male, 18 to 20 years of age, long black hair, small build, white or light blue t-shirt. A manhunt is underway to capture the suspect. According to local officials the shooter was positioned on a rooftop when he opened fire.
Illinois (via NBC) – […] Sixteen people were shot and at least five people were killed Monday morning in a shooting at Highland Park’s Independence Day parade, officials confirmed, urging residents to continue to “shelter in place” as the gunman remains at large.
The shooting happened just after 10 a.m. in downtown Highland Park, according to reports. A large police presence from the state and neighboring suburban Chicago departments was seen along the parade route.
“Highland Park Police are responding to an active shooter incident that occurred in downtown Highland Park during the 4th of July parade,” the city of Highland Park wrote in a statement. “This is an active incident. All individuals are advised to shelter in place. Law enforcement agencies are searching for the suspect; evidence of a firearm has been recovered. Numerous law enforcement officers are responding and have secured a perimeter around downtown Highland Park. 16 people have been transferred to the hospital; 5 individuals are confirmed deceased.” (more)
Suspect described as 18-20 yr. old white male, long black hair.
wig..and he could be any age. Have to wait and see,
Peoplke saw him
I hope some businesses’ security camera views include rooftops across the street.
Could be a girl? We don’t know these days, right? How can they guarantee it’s a guy?
Lia Thomas, maybe?
Probably got into a van covered with MAGA/Trump decals….
Doesn’t sound MAGA to me.
where’s the shooters wrecked newly purchased f250 truck?
AntiFa.
That was sarcasm…
Small frame male
– petite slighted?
trans candidate.
I’m offended by the description. Following the liberal rules it should have have been: suspect not young or old, pigmentation level & gender unknown with hair.
That suspect description could have just as easily been used to describe the Boston Marathon bombers.
Or my favorite, “Cousin It”.
Denmark, Chicago, our own small town in British Columbia where two bank robbers shot and wounded six Police Officers before the shooters were shot and killed.
Gun control…NO!
More guns in the hands of law abiding folks.
Amen to that!
Wow, that post was prescient.
I’ll abide by the 48 hour rule before assigning motive. But this one sure does smell like a Fibbie FF op. Again.
Yep
Oh please, I don’t even wait 48 min before calling FF!! “They” really think we are idiots!
A small annual hometown parade. Children in the parade–perhaps riding their decorated bicycles, all full of pride and excitement and joy. I remember how it was for me like this when I was a girl in the 1960s. The local high school band(s) marching by folks lining the street, playing familiar patriotic tunes–oh the smiles and applause and fun. America.
BAM! Terror rips it all apart. Innocent people senselessly hurt by the score(s). Fear.
I am highly suspicious about this tragedy.
I continue to be highly suspicious about the Waukesha Christmas Parade tragedy.
Pray for the hurting families of today!
Continue in prayer for the hurting families of last Christmastime.
wonder if the shooter is yet another known wolf that plays Call of Duty with FBLie agents…
Probably just another Red Flag on the FBI list to be monitored but essentially ignored until an event such as this occurs.
A lone wolf that likes to keep in touch with other lone wolves.
With a shiny recently purchased high-end AR15 priced well beyond his means.
Without Rush, it’s a huge responsibility being the Last Shaman Of Common Sense, bro.
There are others. Tucker Carlson has been on fire lately.
that roll call of dissidents attacked by the doj was stellar.
Yeah the guy who had Hunter write a letter of recommendation for his kid to get into some swank school.
So?
Nevermind.
Jesse Kelly
They and their Intel community partners manufacture overthrows of entire countries overseas.
Why does it surprise anyone they would stoop to anything to maintain power here?
Currently in the process of trying one of their programs in Myanmar. The U.S. Backed regime was booted out so now they are pulling the same stuff they always do to get their puppets back in.
This is pure, classic domestic terrorism, i.e. acts of violence to achieve a political result. Oh, and I forgot, carried out under the knowing and willing acceptance of the US government’s clandestine agencies.
My thoughts as well. Every single independence day celebration in the area is canceled
Highland park is a very nice place. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I used to service swimming pools there back in the day.
Yep
– very
North shore
All of those small towns north of Chicago to the border were small family friendly patriotic people. Now they are over run with tons of foreigners and non English speaking people. I see messages from my own small town and they are all in Spanish. The church festival was flying the Mexican flag. Don’t get me started on the southern invasion. I used to own an avocado grove. Now I’m still on the same property but the 135 trees are dead because of theft and destruction of the irrigation system. People who steal into our country don’t care about how they get things. They neither love or respect America. Not like those of our grandparents who came here through the proper channels because they wanted to become Americans. They didn’t look for hand outs. They were basically honest hardworking American loving people. Some how all of these illegal invaders need to be removed. Eisenhower did it once. Can’t we do it again and then
Highland Park is extremely wealthy and Jewish – the only Spanish speaking in town are maids and maintenance workers. Highland Park is also far left liberal – front lawns covered with BLM and Hate has no Place here signs.
Good to know those demographics. We’ve known for a longtime that Dems don’t mind sacrificing their own strong voting blocs (so confident are they that their traumas will keep them in the fold!) if it will reinforce the message before elections that to vote Republican is ALWAYS to vote for white supremacists.
The Dem constituencies are mostly segregated into smaller ethnic or religious groups who are highly distrustful of all but Dems, so intense has been the propaganda drilled into them, either by word or by acts of political savagery which target members of their own community, as does today’s domestic terrorist act.
My remembrance of highland park is from a long time ago. My home town is a little further north from there. Among the lake towns. I have a brother who used to work in construction up there and now can’t even get on job site to seek work. Where once the towns had strict rules about housing parking etc they conveniently get over looked. My bro told me that the two bedroom house next to his has 8 adults and 5 kids living there and cars parked all over the lawn and road. We must reclaim our country
There are no coincidences in this.
Yes, Highland Park is a calm, leafy, older town with lovely homes. An outdoor concert venue in a sprawling park setting has been there for years: Ravinia.
You would never expect such a violent act in that place.
We did not ever expect such a violent act at a parade in relatively calm Waukesha, WI.
Very good point
Thank you, Sundance. Been watching for these kinds of things. They are becoming more and more desperate to take away our guns, so more mass murders must happen to “justify” taking legal weapons from legal and law abiding people.
Robin Bullock gave a prophecy that the RINO’s have been making back room deals with the Loony Left that if they can get Roe v Wade, they’ll give up our guns. The Democrats and Left Wing nut jobs will just find another way to push the abortion agenda even if it is illegal.
They are lawless.
If they were, they would probably go the “militia” route.
spray paint them white and you’ve got the star wars storm troopers.
The EzraACohen Telegram account posted a 4th of July False Flag warning, on the 3rd.
Coincidence, happened to get it correct, or something else?
BTW, who is the police chief of Highland Park?. Any recent photos of him hanging with Hillary, like that scumbag in Florida?
That was the first thought that came to my head, wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Is it another FBI-backed attack?
The question has to be asked, now that we know the FBI was behind the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot and that the FBI was placed throughout the crowd on January 6th.
Their motive? To get anti-2nd amendment stories into the press?
And what about Kennedy and Martin Luther King?
Operation Northwoods.
Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against American citizens that originated within the US Department of Defense of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for CIA operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets, blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba.
Is there another Operation Northwoods happening?
The FBI seems to repeat the same two plays over and over: False flags and intimidating the innocent.
Plays are repeated because they’re effective.
Did the original operation ever end?
“We have always been at war with [Insert Enemy Here]”.
I’m sure the perpetrator was “on the radar” of the Fan Belt Inspectors. They just can’t seem to do anything about it for some reason. sarc/

the first, jack, was killed by a pro castro, soviet sympathetic individual
the second, bobby, was killed by a palestinian.
convenient.

COINTELPRO
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
I like the guy who’s still sitting on the curb and clapping … evidently believing the marching band suddenly running was part of their presentation. Dude … run, hide, and fight.
“Oh! Fireworks, how LOVELY!”
The safest place to be, anytime someone is firing a gun, is right behind them.
Therefore, yes RUN! but key qurstion is “In WHICH direction?”
To keep it simple, draw an imaginary line between you and the shooter, call it “line A”, and a second line right where you are, perpendicular to line A, so as the form an “x”.
If you do what MOST people do, you run directly AWAY from the shooter.
You might as well just stand still, as you are as easy a target, as if you were standing still.
On the other hand, running along line B, in either direction makes you a “moving target” VERY difficult to hit.
Amongst all shooters (hunters, target practice, etc.) only “trick shot artists” will even attempt such a shot, as its unlikely you will hit a moving target, moving in that direction.
Even running straight AT the shooter, is ‘safer’ than running straight away.
There is a large “blind spot” directly below the gun and arms/hands of the shooter, caused BY the gun and arms/hands, and he can’t shoot what he can’t see.
The “gangsta” shootinh style attempts to addresd this, but all it does is change the blindspot from under, to the side.
Great advice, Dutchman. Thanks
Chances are he’s not targeting, but shooting at random into the crowd. FWIW.
No surprise or shock here. Law and order doesn’t seem to exist in Illinois.
Sanctuary states don’t have law and order.
Standing down police.
MY Question
WHAT WAS the Police Presence ? Any Surveillance of the Area prior to the Start of the Parade ?
WHY, HOW did the PERP ALLEGEDLY Get the Oversight of the Route by being up on the
Uncle Dan’s Sporting Goods Store ?
( DO NOT ALLOW People on ROOFS – UNLESS THEY ARE CLEARED By OWNERS / POLICE )
and
The Metra is within A BLOCK of the Shooting Area…
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Dan%27s+Sporting+Goods+Store+Highland+Park+IL&ia=web&iaxm=places
Used to be roofs were great places to watch parades.
Used to be. . .
To terrorize the populace until it gives in to the ruling regime’s wishes: a tried- and- true method of gaining and holding absolute power. Therefore, if there is resistance, you apply more pain, if there is yet again more resistance, you apply yet again more pain.
Such malign regimes can end only by imploding on their own, or in the event they, over time, lose their resolve to apply the harsh, cruel formula just outlined.
I find it chilling that the young man is more concerned about recording the gunshots than reacting to them.
It’s so horrid to be living at the end of a civilizational cycle.
Highland Park is a wealthy north side Chicago suburb that votes overwhelmingly democrat. As such, they are important enablers of all of society’s present ills.
Prayers for the innocents.
Yep, we are watching our country burn down around us. I weep for the former United States of America.
AND our loss of our Real President Trump! Just rewatched his 4th of July speech @ Mt Rushmore n weeped. 2 years n all has changed drastically. Biden has unleashed hell on earth God Help Us All 🙏
Not Biden specifically, but certainly the puppet string pullers who are calling the shots. Obama, Valerie Jarrett, et al.
Imagine how President Trump must feel watching all of his good works undone and the country being destroyed by liberals. I’d love to have him back for a 2nd term but the Dhimmies will cheat even harder in 2024, no question about it.
YES, Specifically Biden! He is okay with what they are doing. Remember Afghanistan? He has blood on his evil hands. Accept it. He is to blame. No quarter for him, no way nohow!
Dementia Joe was tight with these people when he was just merely Stupid Joe and remembered who they were.
He’s as responsible as the rest of them.
Don’t blame the rich liberals … they want AR-15’s banned. Oh … and 9mm handguns banned. Those too. Because confused-Joe said they are designed to blow lungs out of the body …
Might have been best to just stick with the last paragraph.
Why? They’ve inflicted this on the rest of us….We are all suffering bc of Leftists that’s how we got here.
How can this be with all of the gun control laws active in Chicago? I just don’t get it… /s off
Highland Park isn’t part of Chicago. And Chicago hasn’t had strict gun laws since like 2010.
Every civilisation that has ever existed, has eventually collapsed.
Archeologists, who study civilisations are in concensus, that civilisations will inevitably collapse, as they are inherently unstable.
Onecan dread to be “living thru such times”, ….
I, personally thank God every day, for granting me the Grace of allowing me to live thru such historic times, and am curious to see how this latest chapter of history “plays out”.
I don’t know what happened to Highland Park, it used to be affluent but isn’t so much these days. They’ve got a gang problem now and the properties aren’t nearly as valuable as the ones in neighboring areas like Glencoe.
Same with St. Charles, Batavia and Geneva…although crime is kept quiet in the Fox Valley region.
We have fewer foreigners in the Fox Valley region.
Anyone who voted Democrat, is ok with this. It’s really that simple. They support no bail, no prison time, disarming people so they can’t defend themselves, the FBI and other feds that instigate these events, and clap and cheer the murder of babies but expect people to respect their lives.
Another false flag event…..
signs pointing that way. suspicious looking artifacts and “running parade watchers” who arent actually running.
This will be from a non registered gun. All those gun laws in Chicago, one can wipe their @$$ with! Expect more flack from the anti gunners! Hey Lorrie Lightfoot, how come all those laws you pass don’t do a damn thing for the citizens? When do you start connecting dots? Or is that above your pay grade?
She’d be out of a job if she connected the dots. Hopefully, she’ll be out of a job anyway.
Chicago is granted Billions per year to “fight crime” in the city. If they become successful, what do you think would happen to those grant checks? They would stop! I know Illinois politicians and feel confident saying that they would find it very difficult going without their federal welfare checks. How about yours? This is the same game world-wide, so long as we accept the debts of their folly.
Take your premise a step farther; pretty much EVERY govt dept is created to address some problem.
The Forestry service was created to stop forest fires.
The FDA was created to stop “snake oil salesman”.
The Military was created to prevent foriegn aggression.
The Food Stamps, welfare and other “Great Society social safety net programs” were created to end poverty.
And yet, if a Dept were actually succesful, it would eliminate the need for its existence, and how stupid would THAT be?
So, the LAST thing any Dept wants to do, is accomplish the goal it was ostensibly created to accomplish, and instead they fund reports, showing the problem is getting worse (requiring MORE funding) or expanding their mandate, to justify their continued existence.
Didn’t 60 some odd folks get shot over the weekend?
In Chicago. But Highland Park isn’t in Chicago.
Those were poor black people so the media and Democrats don’t care.
This is another summer of love to lightfoot.
The innocent are collateral damage to the demonic dems.
So very sad for innocent people trying to remember independence, just a distant memory.
Highland Park isn’t part of Chicago. And Chicago hasn’t had strict gun laws since like 2010.
Hard to believe, if it’s a democrat area it likely has gun control.
Is it part of “Chicagoland”?
A suburb of Chicago
There is no gun registration anywhere in Illinois.
I agree with your sentiment, but I like to point this out, because many characters on tv cop shows say “The victim was shot with a gun that’s registered to you”, and this is propaganda to make people think that gun registration is a common thing.
Wonder if they’ll add this to already 54 shot over the weekend.
Set up, drugged by the Obiden regime
Disgruntled Democrat, just watch.
Yeah…. My best guesstimate at this point is an Antifa wannabe type / Heavy metal loser / Daddy wasn’t there / dysfunctional family.
Psych Dope, hallucinogens and black market stimulants to boot.
My guess is that the shooter will be found and cornered. He will obligingly shoot himself or commit suicide by cop.
If a manifesto is discovered, bet on the FBI,
I’ll have to read the op report to determine. So I’ll wait to see who this was and motive w/training and how it went down. Lot of factors to look at.
Serious enough for other locales to cancel their activities…Northbrook, Glencoe, Glenview to name a few.
So what’s their other hand doing while we focus on this massacre?
Just call the FIB and ask them who today’s shooter was. 99.9% probability the FIB (active and ‘retired’) was in regular contact with the shooter, likely dropped the shooter off at the parade and gave him the weapon.
Thanks FIB.
God bless the injured, the dead & bring solace & peace to their families.
If only the CONgressional 🚩 law & mental health 💵💰💵💰had been distributed faster and if only restrictive gun control laws had been in place… this never would have happened.
Oh wait… Illinois already has those and yet, here we are.
Looks to me like Gun Laws are much like Russian Sanctions. The more you pile on the more damage they do to we Deplorables. Instead of describing the profile of the weapon being used, a gun law that describing the SSRI psychotropic drugs being used and the technique of psychotherapy being used, would have a better chance of yielding results. But that’s no good because the AMA strictly forbids trespassing onto their “turf”.
Big pharma isn’t going to allow word of the psychotropic drugs or the mental health “treatment” to see the light of day.
They’re more than willing to let the carnage continue… after all, these are the same people that performed lobotomies, electric shock therapy & drugged both inconvenient innocents & the truly ill in asylums.
Covid proved that nothing has changed in more than 4 decades since their asylum camps were closed except that the target population got larger.
First two questions, as always, are: 1) Who was his therapist? and 2) What psychotropics was he on?
3) How long has the FBI and local law enforcement known about him?
Yes, forgive me for leaving that one out.
Skinny white guy with long black hair? Sounds like an antifa idiot. Maybe he didn’t like people celebrating 4th of July.
I swear, this crap is getting to be way too much. The young people in this country have been indoctrinated, brainwashed and encouraged to do these terrible things.
Just so very sad.
People kept sending their kids to public schools and allowing television in their homes.
Maybe he’s one of the new replacements who came over the border. Where do you think some of them are going? Places like Chicago.
The cult is really cutting them loose on us now, aren’t they.
They are reporting on Fox News that a rifle was recovered from a rooftop.
If he was on a rooftop who I D him?
Dirty Harry? Sorry to sound flip but so much that goes on these days is surreal. This sounds more like a movie than reality.
Let me guess… DDM4V7?
Saw a comment on another site that said:
” If this is “gun violence” they can stop searching since they have already arrested the rifle.”
Did the FBI put MAGA stickers on it?
Like clockwork – will have a connection to the FBI or CIA, mind-controlled with pharma, was known to law enforcement, and a manifesto that is a cut and paste from some other FBI cut-out and will have a comical social media presence that was created within the last month.
If he is not a white male this will be memory hole quick.
Add together the psychological trauma that was Covid, complete with lockdown isolation, AND the generation of division the Globalists have been fomenting, and I am not sure the FBI NEEDS to cultivate and nurture these nutjobs, just “let nature take its coarse”, and ignore any “see something, say something” reports from concerned citisens.
I am NOT saying they aren’t triggering these nutjobs, I am absolutely convinced they sought out and ‘set up’ muslims, using coerced and compromised “C.I.’s”, ALL to insure the Patriot act would continue to be renewed, without amendment.
Everything all over Chicago now being cancelled because they haven’t caught him yet. Parades, fireworks, music concerts, all screwed because of this asshole. As near as I can make out he was on a roof shooting people in the back in the parade.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer town than chit-Congo
Pinochet’s Planner, I have started a new joke at work about Shitcago. And even a black guy that moved here (Jacksonville, Florida) from Shitcago agrees. He came down here to get his freedom back, and because he wants to live his life in peace. Good, quiet, hard working guy.
In Spanish, the English word ‘shit’ means ‘Mierda’, the Spanish word ‘cago’ means ‘I shit’ in English. So, my joke translation of Shitcago, ‘Mierda yo cago’, means ‘Shit I shit’.
IT happened to real human beings. Some have died. You comment is harsh.
It looks like July 4 events in the neighboring areas have been cancelled, but not in Chicago. Keep in mind that Highland Park and other suburbs are not Chicago.
Seems the goal may be to discourage people from celebrating the 4th of July with parades etc. Making people afraid to attend. The hate displayed against America and our Flag by our own government is fueling a lot of hate by the crazies.
Exactly. I see this as the democrats’ war on America. People will start to think twice about taking their children to parades after this and Waukesha. All they have to do is crank up the hate and division, while blaming it on their opposition, and watch their crazies do the rest. End white culture. That’s what they’ve said they want and that’s what we seeing.
COVID worked for a while but now since things are “opening up” again, a new strategy is required to isolate people, to make them fearful, to keep them home–stressed and easier to manipulate. In short, to destroy all their hope and happiness.
Trapper, welcome to the People’s Republic of IL. where Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are challenged every day.
Yes, scare the people with a legitimate cause to make them stay home. Who wants to take the risk?
Lets be honest..this is an act of terrorism endorsed and encouraged by the left.
Schumer, AOC,Waters are all complicit.
And we can count on them to foment more acts such as this with their upcoming usual statements.
Let me guess he will be found in a movie theater, even though he has money for a ticket, he does not buy one…
4th of jUly parade shooting. Christmas parade massacre.
Antifa. Democrat. Crazy. FBI knew about him but did nothing.
My prediction.
The FBI has to pass on doing anything until after an event occurs.
The guy has rights ya know!
//////sssss
I don’t care how many people there who vote D, liberal/leftist don’t march in 4th of July Parades.
Liberals also don’t fly the U.S. flag – they are not exactly patriots. That’s one way you can distinguish a patriot from a PINO (patriot in name only).
The only people on my street who do not have a flag out today are Democrats. In 20 years of living here, I have never seen the Democrats put the flag out.
Oh yes they do. All over the inner DC suburbs there are block parties held by affluent, 40-60 year old lefties (late-in life breeders) who do little parades with their kids and flags are everywhere. And I can assure you they hate the US and the flag etc. They are your DOJ, HHS, DoS, etc. white collar workers and your lobbyists and lawyers, capital hill staffers. No joke.
Then there’s the outside the DC beltway suburbanites that work for tech companies, contractors, are retired military officers and they are socially liberal as can be and vote left unless there’s a pro-choice, anti-America, wishy-washy Republican on the ticket and they feel like a tax cut.
Someone, possible a realative, knows exactly who this sick asshole is and is not coming forward.
Highland Park – Trump got 18% of the vote in 2020
https://www.zipdatamaps.com/election-atlas/city/il/highland-park/map-of-2020-presidential-election-results-by-voting-precinct
So target rich environment and thus a breeding ground of the brain dead
My best guess is the dominion got the other 82 percent. Illinois is mostly red.
Yup. If you’re unfortunate enough to live in a city or blue state. Get out if you can. They are magnets for criminals.
Wait! In the highly anti-gun city of Chicago? So, all those regressive anti-gun laws didn’t stop this?
Highland Park is 25 miles north of Chicago. A wealthy, white, liberal North Shore suburb.
So a gun free zone, heh?
Try this
Chapter 136 – ASSAULT WEAPONS | Code of Ordinances | Highland Park, IL | Municode Library
Assault weapon and large capacity magazine ban (more than 10 rounds.)
First reports are not 100% correct. This sounds like the Fear and Control Campaign all over again.
The perp want i5 minutes of fame? To hell with him!
Lets see if the authorities drag their feet on this. CCTV cameras all over the place so it SHOULD be an easy discovery……but then the J6 pipebomber is still shrouded in mystery. Not hard to figure that one out.
Pro abortion terrorism.
Extreme Postnatal Abortion.
As for young males: absent or ineffectual fathers and self-absorbed mothers, anti-depression pills
spoiled brats without a participation trophy wanting to be know for something
If they find the guy he will probably be a loner, a keyboard warrior of some ilk, possible ties to Antifa, hates America, hates himself and his family. Probably apolitical and most likely an anarchist (ref Antifa).
The gun will most likely be stolen and / or the SN filed off. From the sound of the gunfire it was a semi-auto. Most probably a single 30 round mag.
Some intel was needed as he obviously had a plan to get elevated and also an escape plan. He’s not a dummy but definitely has a lot of rage going on within.
His kind probably always need money and will commit mayhem/murder when the price is right. Why do you think he chose to stay alive and ran away. He’s got money now to spend on drugs and whatever. If he’s found dead then we may propose that he didn’t get to spend it.
I see the same falsehoods repeated in multiple comments here.
1) Highland Park is not Chicago. Highland Park is a city north of Chicago. It has its own city government and it’s in a different county than Chicago. HIghland Park is in Lake County, Chicago is in Cook County.
2) The strict Chicago gun laws everyone loves to mention were tossed out in 2010. To own a handgun in Chicago you only need a state FOID.
Concealed and carry?
You can carry concealed in Chicago. You need training and a license for it though.
Can you open carry? Can you have any type of firearm you want? Do you have to register your guns? Do they limit ammunition purchases or magazine capacity? Can you purchase firearms as a gift? Can you give or sell a firearm privately?
Any of those are strict gun control laws.
The strict gun laws most people still think exist in Chicago had to do with not even being able to own a gun at all if you lived within the city. Chicago was pretty famous for that tamp down. But it was destroyed years ago, I think it was 2010.
And there are other restrictions, see my posted link below.
https://concealedcarryandme.com/concealed-carry/who-can-carry/
This is Illinois but I am not sure of Hiland Park.
I think individual cities cannot prohibit it. That’s why the strict Chicago gun laws were struck down in 2010.
1- Most who live in Highland Park work in chit-Congo and are liberals to boot. 2 – Gun control frequently comes down to enforcement, but I’m also intrigued by what source you’re telling us gun control laws were relaxed in that dump in 2010 when o douche hole was playing president. I would find that shocking to say the least. And even if they’re not the same laws, they’re renowned for having some of the most strict. All uber liberal areas do. Not trying to offend you personally, but you’re a bit hung up on this little tidbit, as though either of your points lessen the irony that this is happening in a blue metro area of a blue state where anti-gun sentiment is at its apex in this country, meanwhile we’re told white right-wing domestic extremists are the greatest threat to our country. I lived in that hellhole for three years in my late 20s and early 30s. I’ve never even been back to visit since I left, nor will I ever set foot there again. It and other liberal areas like it are known for their soft bigotry and never ending tolerance for all manner of wrongdoing as long as the perpetrators are a protected class. No thanks. No white guilt and no apologies.
“A large police presence from the state and neighboring suburban Chicago departments was seen along the parade route.“
And yet they were unable to prevent or stop it.
I wonder if ordinary law abiding citizens were allowed to carry concealed firearms in that area? Perhaps that might have stopped it as soon as it started.
The shooter was on a rooftop. Yes you can concealed carry in Highland Park and throughout Illinois, even Chicago.
One CAN conceal carry there, but I wonder how many actually do?
Even being allowed to carry concealed liberals are unlikely to do it.
So is it time for another Boston marathon style manhunt?
This stuff is just far to transparent now.
They don’t even try to hide it. In fact I sense they’re increasingly frustrated that we haven’t begun to fight back yet.
They taunt us…..
Has Leana Wen been geared up in advance to commentate again?
why TODAY ?
Another site was saying this an affluent Democrat suburb of Chicago – so not a lot of gun owners.
I wonder if he’s another loony the feds riled up or a white Arab or Hispanic.
It’s not as affluent as some other north shore suburbs but definitely upper middle class. Very low crime there, people probably don’t worry too much about their houses being broken into, or carjackings.
Slight build? Sounds small in stature and maybe foreign, young or both? Black hair can be dyed, but small stature can’t be hidden that well.
It’s Las Vegas all over again.
Rinse, repeat.
Sad state of affairs when you hear of a tragedy, you immediately think of the FBI hosting the event.
Sadly, for good reason these days.
Highland Park has a growing hispanic population, I think it’s 20%+ now. Unfortunately there are gangs there despite overall low crime rate and relative prosperity. I see that description of the shooter and I think it’s *possible* the person is hispanic, but shooting into a parade doesn’t really fit hispanics if you know what I’m saying. My money is on yet another disenfranchised white kid who probably lives in or grew up in an upper middle class home but for some reason can’t fit in. I doubt he’s associated with Antifa. I won’t be surprised if we find out he’s on medications. Just my hunches.
I’m assuming their European Caucasian, but I will never forget the muslim shooting into a military recruiting office in TN – the witnesses were absolutely sure it was a white guy. Turns out the witnesses were two black women and when shown pictures they called Mexicans, Arabs and white like Irish white guys all white to them.
Makes since as most Arabs are Caucasian and Hispanics are mostly Caucasian or Mestizo in the US.
I remember another shooting. It was in Little Rock , Arkansas. 2 soldiers were shot outside a recruiting office.One PFC soldier died. The shooter was a black man (Muslim) who had become radicalized and returned from Yemen. The FBI said they had been “watching” him. Same old story. The guy told police he wanted to kill more soldiers but only found the two.
My hunch is he is a white leftist radical and a member of Antifa who wanted to kill conservatives. It is known that typically only conservatives celebrate July 4th and wave the America flag, so he could be fairly certain he would not kill other leftists. Many of them are especially angry right now because of Roe v. Wade being overturned and have vowed a summer of rage.
Who wants to bet the suspect description will be completely wrong? It amazes me how often this is screwed up. It’ll probably be a large black guy in a red shirt, a fat blonde woman, or a weaselly white guy with a black shirt and short pink hair.
I doubt any true MAGA would be within 50 miles of Sh!tcago.
This^^^^^^
Even in Chicago Trump got almost 20% of the vote in 2020. And outside of Chicago some suburbs were higher. Not exactly “MAGA country” though as Juicy said.
Wouldn`t it be nice to have a news media that would just give the facts ..and not add their opinions….
Talk to the FIB, they know.

You’re spot-on. Check the bio on the perp, one Robert Crimo, a “white rapper” with gangsta tatts on his knuckles.
Ohh no! Highland Park is an affluent suburb of Chicago. I’m from a suburb of Chicago, spent much time there with friends. It’s always been considered extremely safe.
My deepest thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of those murdered. And, prayers and thoughts to those injured by gunshots.
I was just thinking the other day there wouldn’t be any more “mass shootings” since Congress passed their b.s. gun bill. They still don’t get it, criminals don’t obey laws.
As we all know Chicago and IL have some of the strictest gun laws, except for now NY outlawing carry in almost every place–Times Square, parks, mass transit, places of worship, and so on–quickly passed their legislature last week since SCOTUS smacked them effectively preventing carry…) So law abiding citizens still won’t be able to protect themselves!!!
FF occurrences, have become way too common, with this illegitimate administration, when it doesn’t get its way.
“Over 19,000 of those 31,000 annual US gun deaths are suicides. The website worldlifeexpectancy ranks the U.S as 62nd world wide in suicides. 61 countries with a higher suicide rate have strict gun controls; people simply find other ways to kill themselves. Of the remaining 12,000 gun deaths, 80% are gang bangers in gun restricted states. The FBI reports Aggravated Assaults divided into 4 regions – involving a firearm is 25%, other weapons involved is 75%.”
On the “assault weapons” hysteria:
“The most recent FBI crime stats show that more people were killed in 2017 with hammers and clubs than were killed with rifles of any kind. The most recent numbers–those for 2017–on September 26, 2018 showed that 467 people were killed with ‘blunt objects (hammers, clubs, etc.),’ while 403 were killed with rifles.”
FBI: More People Killed by Hammers, Clubs than with Rifles of Any Kind

On defensive use:
“Obama’s CDC conducted a gun control study in 2013, finding that ‘Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million…'”
“A 1994 survey conducted by Bill Clinton’s CDC found that Americans use guns to frighten away intruders who are breaking into their homes about 500,000 times per year.”
There is also a deterrent effect which is impossible to accurately know. However, there was a joke effort where some people went around in a very politically liberal neighborhood (the sort of people who often believe in unrealistic utopias, ignoring human nature) posing as anti-gun activists and asked people if they would display in their yard a sign in support like the one shown below. NONE did.
What stupid idiot would announce this to criminals. Answer: democrats, social justice idiots, people who don’t understand evolution
For accurate and objective reporting on the incident…. be sure to watch CNN for updates/S
Hmm… (watch the bicycle cops reactions t/o- they’re not particularly worried about finding cover from the gunfire. Weird)

Exactly my thoughts when I saw those videos, except I didn’t realize they’re cops.
