Members JaneAusten Posted July 5, 2022 Members Share Posted July 5, 2022 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 5, 2022 Members Share Posted July 5, 2022 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted July 5, 2022 Members Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) 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.

Members DRW50 Posted November 20, 2022 Members Share Posted November 20, 2022 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted November 20, 2022 Members Share Posted November 20, 2022 OMG. This happened today? This is not on the news or I don't even see this trending on Twitter. Actually, yes it is under #ColoradoSprings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 22, 2022 Members Share Posted November 22, 2022 This guy is, the shooter, the killer, is going to be made into a martyr and a hero. You can already see the wheels turning. Oh and JK Rowling is also happy to enable accounts that set this in motion: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
