Kathleen Parker writing in the Washington Post about the man who killed seven and wounded more than two dozen in Highland Park, Illinois:
"Crimo attempted suicide in April 2019. Then, in September of the same year, he announced to his family that he wanted “to kill everyone.” Police visited the Highland Park home where Crimo lived with his father and uncle, and confiscated 16 knives, a dagger and a sword. Because no complaints were filed, there was no further investigation. Still, if these incidents didn’t raise red flags, then the world must be color blind. Three months later, Robert Crimo began buying guns with his father’s signed approval. The real quiet kid passed four federal background checks, purchasing five guns — including the one used at the parade."
