Didn’t say it was…and let’s not act like this behavior doesn’t spread.

Sad. Daily mail says a white young man with long hair did the shooting. My bet is a young liberal who hates the 4th and is upset over Roe. Another shooting in a “tough on guns” state and area. I hope the shooter is found soon.

The gunman, who has not yet been identified, was described by Highland Park police as a white man between 18 and 20 years old with a small build and longer black hair. He is wearing a white or blue T-shirt...

the gunman shot into the parade with a rifle from a rooftop.....

"Investigators are very, very quickly working to try to identify who this person is, and try to figure out where he's at," Covelli said

Another excuse to blame the "mentally ill" on this horror.

Apparently there's a substantial Jewish population in Highland Park. I wonder if the shooter is a anti sematic wannabe killer who decided to go random.

Normal mentally healthy people don’t commit mass shootings.

That's outrageous and sad.
It's really 12 in Chicago, but news doesn't count homicides that happened before 5 or 6 pm Friday for weekend tally.

More baseless speculation without any basis in fact yet. I'm not sure how many males of that age even care about the abortion issue.

I never said shooters were normal or even "mentally healthy." But most mentally ill folks such as myself are actual the victims of a crime, not the perpetrators. Most of the mass shooters in the past have had serious anger issues that they cannot control. Anger is not a mental illness

Mental illness. Nothing we can do. Thoughts and prayers.
