IL - July 4 Parade, Highland Park, at least 6 fatally shot, 4 July 2022 *son charged, dad guilty*

[Laughing]

Regarding this shooter, Crimo, I have a specific question. If there were reports of alcohol-fueled domestic quarrels when the boy was two years of age, might prenatal exposure to this toxin also be the factor?

I wondered about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I don't see the characteristics in facial structure, but social/emotional & developmentally, quite a few indicators just from reading the newspaper coverage.

"His family said they are sharing the stark depths of Cooper's struggle to show the world what really happens to shooting victims like him.

'There are layers upon layers of cruelty with being shot by a sniper. Most people don't witness the grueling aftermath of surviving these devastating wounds, physical and emotional,' they wrote."

I don't think he has FAS, but definitely there seems to be a problem. Most kids with FAS have executive functioning issues. They can't manage to plan their lunch, let alone the complexity of the steps to plan and execute a massacre. JMO.

What Happens When Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Become Adults?

The range of structural abnormalities and functional deficits caused by prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) are referred to as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). The disabilities associated with FASDs are said to be lifelong, but we know relatively ...

However, maybe he has FAD? Something on the spectrum? That seems to fit.

I feel sorry for the eight year old who has multiple health issues. The life of his family has changed. Even more difficult is that he has a twin brother who did not get shot.

The issues with dealing with a child who is medically fragile...so enormous.

I haven‘t been able to get this little boy off of my mind. I’m praying that emerging technologies may allow him to possibly walk again one day.

Poor little man. I often looked at newspapers when I taught school, and knew that eventually, I would be meeting with the child and parents in an assessment, or IEP meeting for placement in Special Education. Especially hard for this family, as his twin brother did not get injured. And the mom has her own gunshot wounds to deal with as well.

Their entire life is going to change. Is their house accessible for a wheelchair? Their automobile? So much goes into this, once he leaves the hospital. Their journey is just beginning.

Victims of a mass shooting that claimed the lives of seven people and injured dozens at a July 4 parade in Illinois have filed lawsuits against a gun manufacturer, the accused shooter and the shooter’s father, court documents show.

The civil lawsuits, filed Tuesday in Illinois’ Lake County Circuit Court, include the families of those killed as well as those who suffered physical or mental health complications because of the mass shooting in Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago, a news release from law firm Romanucci and Blandin states.

The plaintiffs claim that gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson marketed assault rifles through unfair and deceptive strategies to “appeal to the impulsive, risk-taking tendencies of civilian adolescent and post-adolescent males,” the lawsuits state.

Highland Park parade shooter flashes peace symbol in court; attorneys say they are reviewing thousands of documents

Accused Highland Park parade shooter Robert Crimo III flashed a peace sign as he left his court hearing Tuesday where attorneys said they are reviewing thousands of documents in the case.

www.lakemchenryscanner.com

"Flashes 'Peace Sign'."? This is such a waste of tax payer time, money...there is absolutely zero doubt in this case. I wish that Congress would spend time on reviewing the judicial system, and make sweeping reform. What may have worked over 200 years ago, needs to be reviewed.

After all, we don't stay with the same medical system we had 200 years ago...why hasn't the judicial system been reformed as well? It shouldn't be "sacrosanct". Things have changed.

I would suggest that if a criminal meets 3 criteria for "terrorism", the criminal be treated like a war crimes criminal. With a separate set of rules. JMO.

"He pled not guilty".
What does it even mean?
Wasn't he caught with proverbial "smoking gun"?
These trials of shooters are carbon copies of one another

Right. This will be another long, drawn out drama, with the shooter as the "star". I almost think that is their goal. Look at the recent trial for the "Waukesha Parade Massacre". He acted like he was a Rockstar. It made a mockery of the rule of law and respect for authority.

(Edit: I included the Waukesha parade as a mass shooting...it was actually mass carnage using a vehicle. But same outcome and same media attention.).

Mass shooters/mass killers seem to want this type of attention. Time to take it away from them. Turn it into a quick, quiet, military trial, no cameras, and trip to Supermax. Done.

I suspect that date relates to when the Firearms Card was procured. His father had to sign the application because he was under 21.
