Send us a text

 On July 4, 2022, 21-year-old Robert Eugen Crimo III opened fire into an unsuspecting crowd attending a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois killing seven adults and injuring dozens more ranging in ages from eight to eighty-eighty. A manhunt quickly ensued with authorities looking for the suspected shooter throughout the Chicago area and would end eight hours later when a member of the community spotted Robert in his mother’s car leading to his arrest. Robert had a history of being mentally unstable and had left a trial of what seemed to be racist violent posts on social media. So, was this a sinister mind that was truly mentally unstable or were there other forces at play that caused such a sinister act.
