The fact that the killer's parents almost immediately retained attorneys after this, speaks volumes. As well as the information revealed that Crimo had two incidents prior. One of being suicidal, and the other of threatening to kill "everyone" and the police taking a dozen or so knives, swords out of the house. Why his father would then co-sign a license to help his very deeply troubled son to be able to legally obtain firearms is MIND NUMBING! Or, criminally negligent, which is why I am sure they have attorneys now. Of course, Robert Crimo is the one responsible for heinously killing those people in Highland Park that day. But yes, warning signs were not taken seriously. His father then helping his son to obtain guns is on a whole other level of negligence and irresponsibility. I am sure there are going to be a s**t of lawsuits coming down the pike for them, if not criminal charges as well.

The toxic irresponsibility of EVERYONE in this case stands out to me. The father appears as though he was simply determined to pretend none of the red flags ever happened. Even the gun dealer who provided the pickup spot for Crimo's rifles, when tracked down, blew my mind by calling Crimo stupid for not filing the serial numbers off the firearms-- essentially providing instructions for the next criminal for how to not get caught.

I was thinking more about this analysis, and I believe it’s brilliant. The news reports create in the reader, feelings of fear and horror of mass shooters. What other emotion could one have? But this villainous portrayal is, in part - and very unfortunately - why they keep happening. “It is better to be feared than loved.” Or, maybe in this case, better to be feared than ignored. Dr. Grande gives a perfect takedown of this coward, painting a picture of the man as he really is. His should be a model for how to report on such crimes. Great research too. Kudos to you, Dr.

Add to that, Redge, that his dad co-signed on his FOID (Firearm Owner's Identification) application so he could get a gun. "Anything to make Bobby happy; he doesn't seem interested in anything so let's support his interests wherever we can." The kid had (and has) problems the parents could not easily solve. However, turning a blind eye to this kid, giving him all the trappings of an adult life based simply on his age of 21, that's not supportive. They ENABLED him by giving him an apartment, giving him vehicles, giving him guns. He had total freedom and NO RESPONSIBILITY. Didn't pay for himself or even contribute towards his support. At 21, yes, they enabled him and also turned a blind eye to his problems. They have some responsibility towards this, even if they are not legally responsible.

No caring parent on earth would enable their child who has demonstrated suicidal ideation to get a gun. Doesn't matter if the kid is 16 or 40. No question in my mind they wanted him to just go away and no question he realized that and it probably was a factor in this outcome. From the fathers statements he seems incapable of even a shred of empathy. I don't think this kid was raised with any consideration to his future compatibility with society in mind. It seems more like the parents did very little and were living with the consequences of that.

I see a dark side that became a dynamic when president #45 declared that he takes "no responsibility", a general way of avoiding being accountable for his actions no matter how socially cruel or disrupting. I sense this has been tantamount to approval to "do your worst" and deny everything. That's the characteristic of a mob leader who has no respect for his fellow man and will seek power in a pathological pursuit. Disenfranchised and marginalized feeling persons can feel supported with that attitude and become very "brave" in appearance but on their inner character are pushing aside their very poor opinions of their true selves.

I am appalled by the lack of attention and treatment for people who even express words indicating they have suicidal or homicidal thoughts. I retired from work including the mental health field almost 30 years ago. During my professional education and 20 years of employment in the field, it was established practice to take even hints of suicidal or homicidal ideas seriously and act immediately. This often meant a 72 hour commitment for in patient psychiatric evaluation and treatment with out patient follow up. To fail to take the person seriously was regarded as the equivalent of saying “better luck next time!” and a signal to try harder to make their thoughts/gestures to harm themselves or others more apparent. A tiny “red flag” did not go unnoticed or untreated much in the same way people are not allow to even joke about having a gun at an airport or yell FIRE in a crowded place. Back then it seemed like teachers, police, other professionals and even some of the general public operated with these principles in mind. The few individuals who did hint at suicide/homicide “just for attention” quickly regretted it and didn’t repeat it. What changed these highly effective practices? Why are we now encouraging tiny red flags to grow into mass tragedy before we help people?

@@bthomson Congress is supposed to represent us, the people. We need to consult with our representatives to see what they suggest. They understand how the bureaucracy works.

These are systemic problems, and changing the system is hard. Look how the gun rights people pushed back and changed things. We outnumber them yet we have to be willing to dedicate time to a cause we feel the strongest about and focus on that one. Here in SF where I live, we finally after 75 years , got the GGBridge Board to change it’s mind and decide that we needed to protect people who were vulnerable, from jumping to their deaths from the iconic bridge here. It is under construction and will hopefully be completed in Jan 2023. There were many roadblocks along the way, and it took way too long. So many have been able to jump to their deaths while we debated, testified, petitioned for funds, had laws changed, got signatures, spoke to the media, were berated and insulted by members of the public, and were pushed back etc., etc. We can never give up, that’s the point. And although it may be too late for a member of our own family, for our child, or partner, or neighbor, we will be saving people in the future from this life altering experience. Get in touch with anyone you can get some time or information from, who was able to make a difference, and find out how they did it.

Parents should not be able to side step laws. His father belongs in prison. Do not make guns accessible to ‘troubled’ ‘kids’. How many times do we have to learn this lesson?

It does seem like that would help but this is America the country of gun worship. You'll have to deal with the NRA and their lobbyists and the gun nutters. At this point it seems like will have to wait for critical mass to kick in. A certain number of people being affected by guns in a negative way to make a change. It doesn't and shouldn't have to come to that but this is America. Fun fact: Some guy that use to sell a lot of guns said after every mass shooting he would see a spike in gun sales and especially for that specific gun.

How in the world did this father think it was a good idea to sponsor his son for firearm ownership? He's obviously extremely troubled. Why would anyone introduce a firearm into that kind of dynamic. I'm very pro second amendment, but to me this is criminally negligent. It would be like giving a loaded gun to a child except worse, because the child isn't actively homicidal. The power was with him to stop this from happening, and instead, he facilitated it. I feel like he should be brought up on criminal charges.

@Mark Keogh, while I agree with everything you commented as pertains to the mindset of family members in cases like this, I do think they bear some responsibility. Not for Robert’s actions, but certainly for providing him access to weapons when he had previously, on multiple occasions, threatened violence against himself and others. The police had to be involved at one point due to Robert’s unstable behaviour and were reassured by *his parents* that he was receiving mental health treatment and that the confiscated collection of knives should be returned, as they supposedly belonged to Sr. To subsequently sign forms allowing your mentally unstable and potentially violent child to legally purchase firearms is incredibly negligent! No parent wants to believe that their child is capable of murder, but to knowingly facilitate a mentally disturbed person’s access to weapons definitely should raise questions of legal culpability.

Many shooters have been seen as losers while this guy had money. I think how we parent, don't support child development is causing issues, and are a commercial comsumer society (fame and material).

If they admitted his issues, they might have to look at their parenting and take responsibility for handing him everything, and never getting appropriate help, and they don't want to do that.

It's harder when they don't want it, but you don't just give them everything. Our kids had to buy their own iPads from their own money they earned.

it gets tough legally. I work in the mental health field.

For example statements like "I'd love to end the world" wouldn't be enough to do anything. he would have to directly say "I intend to do a shooting, I have my gun with me and I am going there now" then they can intervene. We go through it all the time trying to get people who can't care for themselves pushed into treatment . I saw one case where a guy was homeless in the middle of winter, walking around in 10 below zero weather with no shoes and no jacket and that still wasn't enough to show he couldnt care for himself----frustrating. he ended up getting frost bite and lost some toes but the courts simply said it's not illegal

To Robert, being infamous and being famous is the same thing. His family was either in fear of him or in deep denial. His father's lawyer made a statement ( paraphrasing) that Robert's family is effected just as much as family of the victims. Unless they have to bury Robert... I doubt that.

Yes, I thought there were laws that would hold parents responsible for underage criminal behavior just like this one of sponsoring him to purchase assault weapons. (IMO there is zero need for civilians of any age to own such weapons as AK 47 (that number again) and AR 15. I gather that those sane people who do purchase them do so because they have delusions of government take over.)

In almost every one of these situations the parents say after the fact that they never would have imagined their child would have been capable of such acts. The reality usually is however that there were always signs and they were ignored. The father assisting him with paperwork that would eventually allow him to purchase firearms and then denying any responsibility is ridiculous. Maybe he would have found another way to do harm to others but the father made it just a little bit easier for him to cause harm to others.

Unfortunately, mineral imbalances are being passed down generation after generation. I can see hair patterns in hair mineral analysis that influence people's emotions. Copper/zinc imbalance contributes to things like bipolar disorder. Stress depletes zinc and copper is antagonistic to zinc. Copper is related to the emotional animal brain. Women actually tend to be copper toxic due to its relation to estrogen. Think of PMS which is when a woman is higher in estrogen or copper during her cycle. A mother will pass down her mineral imbalances. Our younger generation is very depleted of minerals and has a higher toxic load because of this. Top it off with social media, the news, broken homes, and the division in our country it's no wonder our youth are struggling. It's quite sad. We all on an individual level need to make our bodies and mental wellbeing a priority.

If your child is a male, lonely, no friends, no girlfriend, no real interest in having a social life, and no job you need to get him help. Just look at him. He looks like he has no joy . Why do these parents believe that if you are quiet, you are a nice young man? Parents please ask your children questions. Why no girlfriend? Why no friends? Why no job. This is a recipe for disaster.

If the parents said he was being treated by mental health, and Robert lived in the Chicago region, and he refused treatment, mental health could have placed Robert in a restrictive environment. If the parents gave false information about his treatment, then they should be held accountable. I'm sure Robert was under the parent's health insurance, and documents could verify this. Dr.Grande I saw Robert's KZfaq channels before they were taken down. He had two. Robert uploaded a video, Toy Solder on Awake one of his channels. He uploaded this in 2019. Red flags everywhere. He had subsequent videos on his other channel that were more recently, and some just a few months old. More Red Flags, tons of them. He painted a mural of himself depicting his intentions recently, and his father said it meant nothing and he was just expressing his art. These aren't just cries that slipped through a crack, they are screams echoing in The Grand Canon. I wonder if his parents paid for the guns he purchased since Robert wasn't working.

Nice analysis Todd. From your statements about the family sweeping Robert's mental and emotional issues under the rug with the police, it's too bad his parents did not have the knowledge and wisdom to recognize that Robert had a problem and to seek help for him. Counselling and therapy could have mitigated the tragedy in Highland Park and Robert would be a more stable and happy person with skills developed from therapy to understand his shortcomings and disabilities and how to cope and navigate society... and perhaps 7 people would still be alive today. Footnote: Surely his parents knew there was a problem, and yet allowed Robert to buy some wicked firearms... they have culpability for what happened on July 4th in Highland Park... I'm done.
