Paul Crimo, the uncle of Robert Crimo III, spoke to FOX 32's Dane Placko after his nephew was named as the person of interest in a shooting that killed at least six people, wounded at least 30 and sent hundreds of people fleeing from an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday.

Said that his nephew was a youtube rapper and had worked at a Panera Bread.
worked at Panera Bread.....
Interesting. One “reliable” news source said he had scads of “followers” as a rapper and a net worth of over $100,000.
With his old small Fit car and tawdry looking clothes why would he need to work to add to $100,000? Unless that report is bunk.
Just reporting what the uncle said.
Yep, it’s pretty bad, when all those crazy things are considered normal.
RE: “he saw no signs of trouble”
Because in today’s rapping, gender-fluid, tattooed, pink-haired, pagan world, the kid didn’t stand out as anything unusual.

Really sad commentary, you’re right.
Like the urban black teens in trouble and story that mother raised him and he slashed someone once, stole a car as a kid, broke into neighbor’s house and beat up a snitch-—all before age 18, but mother claims he was like other kids in the neighborhood.
I watched the interview. Killer lived in the basement of a house with his dad and his uncle. Uncle basically said that they said ‘hi’ to each other but he claims he saw nothing wrong with the kid.
I guess face and neck tattoos, blue, pink and green hair are no longer signs of anything being wrong, but hey, I’m a boomer, what do I know? Claimed the lad was an ‘artist’ and rapper. Hasn’t really had a job for the last couple of years.
We are now living in a world where the word ‘woman’ is considered controversial and where a guy who sometimes sports pink hair with pigtails is no longer allowed to be considered ‘odd’. But of course, the real problem is guns. /s
I was not in any way criticizing you for posting that.
According to the uncle that job was quite a while ago. Apparently associated with some music organization called Sleepy Squad, had his songs on the misnamed genius.com, and one title that got him some attention, a song called “By the Pond” which seems like a tame title. His lesser known songs were more angry.
Popular culture has become pagan and nihilistic. It is especially disorienting to people who have mental issues to begin with. Add in CRT, drugs (even high-potency MJ), and anti-Americanism, and we will continue to see these tragedies. I think that the left actually WANTS these things to happen.
Thanks.
You know a lot more than I do from the snippet stories I’ve seen.
I somehow missed his entire illustrious rapping career. That happens to me a lot.
Had a thing Breaking Bad as he mentioned some characters from that in a song. Had a song about selling crack and smashing skulls, brags about making money on the internet and realizing there “ain’t a tomorrow.”
The shooter looks mildly autistic or compromised in some manner. Usually, a person begins to mark themselves up with Bic-Pen Tattoos because they are insecure and feeling needy for quick acceptance by peers.
I’m still not seeing any strong motive or ‘creed’ that might have supported what he did. He already has a morbid fascination about death and dying.
Maybe he talked himself into believing some horrible toxic word salad of his own making. Maybe he discussed his obssessions with no one vis a vi, but only online, where you can always wear a Mask, where you don’t have to explain and defend your bluster.
His one known concert I found seems to be part of a festival in Chicago with 80 participating entertainers or groups. He and one rapper named Nodfather apparently had an appearance. That rapper is distancing himself but his music also is graphic, at least some of it. I know nothing of the rap scene.
Only three or so tatoos on the front of his face and looks something like Manson.
He has an interest in history, not many kids know about JFK any more.
He looks like antifa
All antifa and blm look nuts.
One thing for certain, Crimo was a self-indulgent, unproductive waste of life.
Guns, MAGA hats, bleach, and garage door loops.
