So what door was unlocked to cause this to happen?

Weird that Illinois state gun laws caused this to happen as well..

I would be curious to hear your professional opinion on whether YOU could be impacted by Selective Perception on this topic, meaning you have a political bent on this topic so you see "if this is the worst thing that happens today?" from a poster as totally rationale. See, I think rationalizers are one of the things damaging our country on both sides. Pick a team and make everything fit at all costs.

---

Of course I could be affected by bias. And of course I am affected by bias.

I think a lot of things said here are inappropriate.

I just don't see people as bad people, which is what your first post, that was removed, inferred-"soulless" is what you said.

I see factions viewing the opposition as inherently bad and evil as one of the things damaging our country. We have seen this rhetoric increase in twitter posts calling for the assassination of Supreme Court Justices no less. Violent thoughts precede violent words precede violent actions.

Fake news...shooting couldn't happen...Chicago has strict gun control.

If this gun ends up being 3d printed ... then lol at the timing of all this.

There's a video of a binary trigger (can anyone tell if its a binary or "machine gun") with a 3D print he made.
Also, he says he lives in Georgia, not IL.

I have doubts he is the shooter.

There's no political bent about it.

We've seen the narrative get set. They've primed the pump.

Now we all got up this morning and by 10am we appear to have seen exactly what they told us we would see ... and exactly what some of us thought we were likely to see.

It's a tragic situation. It's an ongoing situation.

60 people have already been shot in Chicago this weekend before all this happened.

If 6 dead 24 injured is the worst thing we see today ... then thats the least worst case scenario.

It's harsh and insensitive, but thats the reality of the situation.

Agreed. I'm leaning towards a scrape and troll type situation.

If you knew this mfer and had a beef with him, what bigger troll is there than this.

It's the equivalent of swatting with out getting LE involved.

As usual, Twitter is in their usual meltdown blaming guns, Trump, the NRA, white supremacy, the Patriot Front, etc. etc. etc.

This country is coming apart and while it started under Trump with the response to the WuFlu, we probably would have recovered from that, mostly, but now FJB put a rock on the accelerator and opened the nitrous to maximum.

There are also reports of an active shooter in the Detroit area, but appears to be a barricade situation and someone popping off rounds rather than an active shooter.

---

Great post,.

Why does this stuff happen now, it was never like this before. Must be Trump's fault./s

Crazy is always gonna crazy whether legal or illegal.

Let's end this on a positive note. If my choice of soulless was that out of bounds, I apologize. I still call it hypocrisy but soulless judges the whole person and probably not very Christian from my perspective.

I do sincerely respect your service. Mental health is the elephant in the room in these shootings nobody really tries to address until a little bit, recently

God comfort the souls in the shootings, and sadly, the ones to come.

They were actually celebrating 4th of July?

Police:
🔸Shelter in place still urged
🔸Gunman remains at large
🔸5 died on scene, 1 at hospital
🔸All who died at parade were adults
🔸Unlcear if the person who died at hospital was an adult or child
🔸At least 1 victim sent to hospital was a child#HighlandPark #4thOfJuly

Access to the roof via an alleyway ladder that the Highland Park shooter fired from was unsecured, deputy says.

This place is the exact same as it was in 1999.

True. Entertainment board is different, but not here.

Shooter climbed a ladder in an ally that wasn't guarded. That's a new protocol for future parades.

Check your geography, 25 miles North of Chicago on Lake Michigan, you couldn't afford to live in this **** hole of a town man

could be so BLM type that has been sent into rage because of the lying media about the Akron shooting.
if so, add this to all the people dead because of the media's love of making school shooters as famous as movie stars. Some people don't want to go out with a whimper, but go out with a bang. The media is more than happy to be their accomplices in mass murder, to make these shooter leave the world FAMOUS and well known. These shooters know the media will carry their water and get out their message to the world and their gripes. I am sure that is all the motivation some of these sickos need. The media knows they play a part and they don't care. . Also, indirectly they know all these shooting weaken the 2nd Amendment which they also love to do.
Even if I am wrong the BLM part, I am not wrong about the media part. F the media !!!

People that have been locked into certain field of expertise for a long period of time suffer from selective perception the most.

And that's just my opinion based on observation and life experience.

Anybody that has been doing a certain thing for 20-30 years can get wrapped up in it.

Anybody that considers themselves an expert in a specific field should ask themselves if this could potentially apply to me.

I'm not an expert in anything. But thats the general sense that I get from all this.

That. It would be nice to abolish for-profit media covering crimes. Make it a loss leader like it used to be in the evening news days.

Thats exactly where the technocracy is taking us.

Every large public gathering will be closely monitored by a bunch of tacticooled out goons.

We spent a trillion dollars after 9-11 to militarize the local police force. Now those seeds are about to bear fruit.

Heck, at least 10 black men die each week in Chicago being shot by other black men and it's a collective national yawn. Now some upper crust white liberal area near Chi town is affected and the world is ending per the media.

I also remember another parade where whites were killed and the media didn't care.

A thumbs up is too simple a response.

I just wanted to also say thank you for the kind words.

How is it possible that there was a sniper mass shooting today?

RINO Republicans and Democrats just signed a gun control bill, signed by the basement dummy - so this problem should’ve been solved.

Oh yeah, criminals don’t give AF about laws and worthless virtue signaling bills.

A white male suspect (who is STILL at large) aged between 18-20, shot from a roof during the Highland Park 4th of July Parade, and killed 6 ppl, injuring dozens.

If police would focus on THESE potential shooters instead of ambushing innocent Black ppl, this wouldn’t happen pic.twitter.com/2QhNURdIrU

Active shooting and some kid is upset he lost his phone. Lots of kids and then this old couple moving as fast as they can hit me

This happens every single day and every single night on the south side of Chicago but no one cares. Now in the rich white hood, here we go!

The only guy with any amount of sense is the old man taking hard cover behind that brick pillar.

Then you see his wife nag him enough that he breaks from cover.

The old man is probably a vet that took cover out of muscle memory and instinct.

Godspeed to that dude.

And no one will be able to connect a decaying culture and morality and the incessant promotion of intergroup resentment and strife incited by selfish, arrogant, godless, immoral socialists.

Stopped reading the thread right here.

Strong storms moving into the area.

Injuries up to 31. One pediatric patient take via helicopter to University of Chicago Medical Center which is a Level 1 trauma center for both adults and children.

25 of the injured were from gunshots.

Based on newer videos, it sounds like the shooter mag dumps two 30 round magazines. You can here about 25-30 shots, a pause, and then 25-30 more.

Alleged firearm recovered from on scene. Not sure of accuracy.

Great now I can't post anymore ATF hat jokes.
EDIT: REUPLOAD BECAUSE IMGUR KEEPS YEETING GUN PHOTOS.
Edit 2: Tinyeye and other reverse image searches return no matches. Either this is legit or someone posted this randomly as a troll.

If this is the right rifle, then this is the shooter's twitter?

Should I also mention that gun on top (the mac) seems to be an NFA violation?

I looked that that twitter account. No way is this a 18-20 years old. Too versed in politics (US and international) that 99% of his peers would not know. Writes like an adult.
