I have to agree. A radical leftist Antifa upset over 4th of July in light of Roe V Wade.

Sadly, this summer is going to get very ugly.

Yes they are. It’s called psychopathy disorder, aka lacking empathy so they can kill a bunch of people.

Countless people are depressed, isolated, angry, mad, bored, upset, abused, bullied, and they don’t kill anyone because the empathy in their brain is functioning properly.

Psychopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder marked by deficient emotional responses, lack of empathy, and poor behavioral controls, commonly resulting in persistent antisocial deviance and criminal behavior.

Perfect example, and it continues to get worse

To me what you just defined as the suspect also defines a mentally ill person. Anyone that kills people just for any cause can't be all there mentally. There is a screw loose and the person needs help.

Just because you oppose a cause politically or for any other reason, you should not go out and kill people.

Are you saying they can go to those states and not be under the scrutiny of Illinois gun laws?

Highland Park isn’t the city of Chicago.

Very few people there need a ‘strategy to survive’’.

The poverty rate is 2.3%.
