Another Shooting

[Kendra]

This is Bobby Crimo, the “person of interest” in the Highland Park shooting, in Trump flags.

Meanwhile I am seeing people screaming that he is a raging Biden supporter.

Possibly bots and people who believe bots.

Yeah, in the same thread I am arguing with a guy who, as far as I can tell, has not bothered to actually look up any of his own arguments. He tried to go down the 'cars kill more people!' route, at which point I noted that cars, are heavily regulated... so his retort was asserting that deaths by car have only gone up, proving regulation does not work.. a quick stats search showed they are less than half the rate they were in the mid 60s when a lot of these safety regulations were kicking in.

It is like they have some cheat sheet someone distributed with dumb arguments.

Per police, suspected Highland Park, IL shooter wore women’s clothing to help mask identity

Oof.. now there is someone who has gone far enough down the right wing rabbit hole that they believe that meme would actually work.

Well, unless he was wearing a high neck Victorian gown and a truck load of concealer, it wasn’t going to work.

Also too, that's going to trigger the same "transgender mass murderer" bullshit we got about the Uvalde shooter.

I'm getting a Ted Cruz vibe.

It's the mutual lack of a chin between them.

Hard to say for sure this is the same kid. He lacks the tattoo under the right eye. But, looks very similar.

That photo's lacking all the tattoos. He has a word tattoo over the other eyebrow and flowers in color around his neck.

His uncle seems genuinely surprised but the weird facial tattoos to me seem to me to be not normal.

Does anyone know when the photo was taken?
The word over his left eyebrow is whatever his rapper name is. I don't remember and can't be bothered to look it up, but it starts with an "A" I think.

You are right on target with that comment! Not surprising, you're pretty darn smart. In the photo that someone posted on Twitter he was wearing a scarf around his neck, hiding all those colorful tattoos. It looks like he may have used something on his face to hide that tattoo as well. It must have been some kind of thick pancake theatrical makeup to cover it up because you can't see the tat on his face at all.

[Slim Cognito]

Thanks for the nice compliment, RV. It made my day. I've worked in theater, and done some make-up work. For example, Charlie Sheen was covered in tattoos, which is why, on 2-1/2 men, he was never shirtless, but they covered his arms in theatrical concealer. We've all made jokes about foundation applied with a trowel, but, hey, it gets the job done. Still, it's very obvious up close. You should see how they do the wigs and toupees.

(there's netting at the front of the wig, where the hair meets the forehead, which they trowel foundation over so there's no wig line. )

Lovely looking fella.

Didja notice the dumbass shot out his own drivers window to deliver his justice?

You'd think by 61 he would have learned a little self control.

Why?

Why would he learn self control - he had a gun - in the USofA doesn't that absolves him from being a sane responsible adult?

Nearly a decade before Monday's deadly mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, that left seven dead and dozens injured, the Chicago suburb banned "assault weapons," including AR‐15- and AK‐47-style firearms.

That 2013 ban was swiftly challenged, and the case made it all the way to the US Supreme Court, which rejected to hear it and instead let a lower court's ruling in favor of the ordinance stand.

At the time, Justice Clarence Thomas, a conservative who joined the nation's highest court in 1991, opposed Highland Park's prohibition on military-style rifles and large-capacity magazines, writing in a dissent that the "overwhelming majority" who used such weapons used them lawfully.

In Thomas' dissent, which was filed in December 2015 and joined by Justice Antonin Scalia, he made references to the Second Amendment.

Well that was a series of bad decisions.
