The parents of Highland Park shooter Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo III, 21, have finally spoken out about their son’s heinous actions – and branded them a ‘tragedy’ – after it emerged the shooter’s dad helped him buy a gun despite cops earlier removing a weapon from him.

Bob Crimo and his wife, Denise, said in a brief statement: ‘We are all mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, and this is a terrible tragedy for many families, the victims, the paradegoers, the community, and our own. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to everybody.’

But it emerged on Tuesday that Bob Crimo had sponsored his killer son’s application for a gun permit in 2020, even after the murderer had threatened to kill himself and his family.

Not all mass shooters are inspired by Trump or Antifa

Every time an evil man steps out onto American streets (or into schools, churches, et cetera) and sprays enough bullets to earn his status among mass rather than normal shooters, there is a plainly undignified rush to determine his political beliefs.

Mass shooters can be political animals. Dylann Roof, for example, was a seething white supremacist. Micah Xavier Johnson was a black nationalist. Omar Mateen represented militant Islam.

The rush is necessary in light of the media’s desire to memory hole incidents that run counter to the preferred Liberal-Left narrative.

The example of Omar Mateen cited by the author is a case in point, the preferred media deflection is to classify the attack as “homophobia” and not as an act of “Islamist” terror. The media exploit whichever “victimhood” advances the narrative and ideally hurts the “Right.”
