HIghland Park also has a large Jewish population. Not sure if that has any bearing. We will find out.

Robert Crimo III has been taken in custody. Not shocking there were signs on social media - he talked about schools and guns and was a high school dropout. All this on social media just in October.

I'm grateful for our Governor. Tammy Duckworth was with him at the press conference in Highland Park and she spoke. Dick Durbin as usual MIA.

He had a bunch of pro-Trump stuff on social media and his father is apparently a big gun nut too. It's too early to say anything along those lines (not that it is stopping those on the right from claiming he is "antifa"), but this is someone who could easily win a Presidential primary for the GOP today.

Highland Park isn't too far away from where I live, but I'm glad that the fire and police department responded as promptly as they did. It's still disheartening that there were casualties. I swear social media is becoming the root of all evil. After the Facebook whistleblower's testimony, I haven't been on Facebook once unless my mom sends me an instant message. But, I don't pay attention to what's going on with people and their egocentrism. Twitter is concerning too. I have nothing against social media per se, but it's just that when I'm hearing of these mass shootings, social media seems to be the underlining theme along with having access to guns.

Jury awards Sandy Hook families almost 1 billion dollars ($965 million) in compensation from Alex Jones!

https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-news-verdict-alex-jones-sandy-hook-connecticut-defamation-trial-20221011-20221012-4kofka5dtvc4ddxsj5xofocy64-story.html

$965 million compensatory damages verdict, after 3 ½ weeks of gripping accounts of harassment from Jones and his followers, could increase in the coming days with the addition of punitive damages, which are awarded for particularly outrageous and willful conduct.

Coming on the heels of Transgender Day of Remembrance, the Respect for Marriage Act vote in the Senate, and the general climate of hate against lgbt people amplified by the GOP and the press, it's hard to not just see this as a first for another wave of attempts at shoving back into the closet - or into a coffin.

    • I thought today was still good. Leo is always awful, but the characters treating him like he's a plague feeds my soul. Rafe in particular had been very passive about him, but today was wonderful seeing him put Leo on notice. I really think it's being written that Javi is going to have to eventually take the blinders off and see Leo for who he really is. Them having sex on Gabi's desk made me want to explode. Roman taking in stray Doug was nice to see. And the mention of Frankie and Max was unexpected, but good to know they're at least being thought of. Tate being petty and a bit vindictive by going back to Sophia's as soon as he saw Doug with Holly was entertaining for me. I think I actually like Tate the most out of all of them because he's so damn messy.  Is Holly about to be kidnapped? Her first time?
    • That would have saved the Anita singing segment -- having her by herself, singing quietly and reflectively. Belting it out like she was in church did not work. The black screens fade at the end was a mistake. BTG insists on being different with these fades for the sake of being different, and it's not working.   I thought all of that was just fine. Worked for me.   I'm going to disagree with this. Martin hasn't had many scenes with his parents, but he's been around family A LOT -- and that's what matters. We also know Martin is someone with a hair trigger response. He can be very emotional when discussing an issue before getting to the logic and reason of it all.  
    • My view of Evan is that he's smart but not as smart as he thinks he is, not a good guy but not an entirely bad guy - he's a lot of things, the show never quite knowing what to do with them. I never saw him as Iris' follower because Iris always seemed a bit in over her head from the start. 
    • She was the Town Historian, who knew a bit too much about Brandon and the infamous cottage.  SF was still a pretty normal place at that time, with Nola and Reva being the most outrageous citizens....seems that Carrie Pipper would have stood out a bit more for people.

    • Yes, I need to dot hat. Also on my list talking to the person I got these files from since they clearly have a mess, in terms of dates being wrong. And, unfortunately finding one date wrong, automatically means more are wrong, too. 
    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83.
