Mass Shooter Details Emerge & Reveal Some Very Unsettling Details Behind What May Have Motivated Him [VIDEOS]
HIGHLAND PARK, IL – As the investigation into the mass shooting that occurred during a July 4th parade in Highland Park continues, additional details are coming in regarding the 22-year-old suspect believed to have been behind the shooting – namely, bizarre videos that were posted online by the suspected shooter.
A motive in the July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park that left six dead and at least 30 injured is still unclear, yet there are numerous outlets and personalities trying to piece together what may have been 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo’s political leanings.

Figures from both the political left and right are engaged in a debate on whether he was “Antifa” or a “Trump supporter,” although social media activity from Crimo’s Twitter account shows him liking posts leaning toward leftist ideals.
On the flipside of that coin, there are other social media posts and photos of him having draped a Trump flag over his back and also attending a Trump rally while dressed as “Where’s Waldo.” While these could be instances where he was trolling Trump supporters, there’s little context on these pictures available.

Thus far, Crimo’s political leanings are simply too difficult to decipher at the moment to attribute with any degree of certainty. However, journalist Ian Miles Chong presented his own theory on the matter, suggesting that Crimo’s bizarre social media activity regarding potential political leanings may have been planned out to sow discord.
“I think Robert Crimo is a psycho. Planned it all out to look like he’s both a Trump supporter and a Biden supporter. Perhaps a true accelerationist. He’s got everyone squabbling over his politics but at the end of the day he killed innocents and represents no one but himself.”

Said theory presented by Ian Miles Chong may in fact be the case, as someone who was reportedly friends with Crimo in the past took to Twitter with a thread claiming that Crimo wasn’t in either political camp firmly.
“Hi I knew awake the rapper/ Robert / Bobby Crimo. We used to make music together around 2015-18. He’s not antifa, he’s not some maga overlord. I know that shit sounds really interesting. But it’s not the truth. He was an isolated stoner who completely lost touch with reality.
‘He coopted aesthetics from the left and right but I don’t think he was any of those things, I think he was lost. Gravitated towards aesthetics he found interesting. Maybe things can change in a couple of years, but he was never a white nationalist. And was never a leftist.”

The Twitter user, who in later posts presented evidence showing he’d had online chat with Crimo in February of 2021 and had taken photos alongside him in 2017/2018, claimed that Crimo was a fan of “ARGs.”
For those unfamiliar with ARGs, which stands for Alternate Reality Games, they’re basically games set up in the real world that follows a fictional narrative where players often try to solve puzzles or mysteries. Essentially, a type of game akin to “Clue” – except instead of playing on a board to solve the fictional murder mystery, a player’s “board” is the real world.
“Not to excuse him or anything. What he did was awful and I hope he rots. But to say he was an antifa shooter, or a qanon supporter or whatever. It’s bullshit. He was not mkultra’d. he liked ARGs and thought it was cool. I know leftist twitter and trump stan twitter want to make him into whatever type of person they want to vilify but he isn’t that. Anybody that knew him could attest to that. In his last years he was making some weird ass videos. But like, yeah, no sane person does what he does. There’s nothing deeper to it. Crazy being crazy.”

Whatever the suspected shooter’s motives were will likely remain unclear until investigators are able to uncover more evidence in the case.
Other videos uploaded online by Crimo do suggest he had a fascination with the macabre, as one of his videos posted to a since-deleted YouTube channel showcased him having what appears to be a fascination with school shootings.
The video in question seems to be linked with Crimo’s musical aspirations, where he’s seen seated in a classroom while reaching into a bookbag, with the scene suddenly becoming a gruesome array of imagery with Crimo adorning tactical gear and suggesting a massacre played out.
Another video bearing a similar unsettling aura is overlaid with a poem where Crimo vaguely speaks of something he needs to “do” and that “everything has led up to this,” which was uploaded in November of 2021.
“It is more abstract than I could ever have imagined. I can feel the atmosphere pushing me in. It’s unstoppable. Like a wave pulling me under, I can’t breathe without it. I can’t see or hear what I don’t want. I need to leave now, I need to just do it.
“It is my destiny. Everything has led up to this. Nothing can stop me, not even myself. Is there such a thing as free will? Or has this been planned out, like a cosmic recipe, it is what I’ve been waiting for in the back of my head, ready to be awakened. It’s what I was sent here to do, like a sleep walker, walking steady with my head held high, like a sleep walker, walking blindly into the night.”
While nowhere near in the realm of as troubling as the above featured videos, one video Crimo recorded of himself depicts himself boating while tipping an FBI hat toward the camera.
Aside from the bizarre online activity of the suspect, authorities say the rifle reportedly used in the mass shooting was legally obtained, with authorities saying Crimo bore zero criminal history or even a record of any sort of police contact in his past.
The investigation into the Highland Park mass shooting is still ongoing.
