    Fuck.

    Highland park is a very affluent suburb. It’s about 20 to 30 miles north of Chicago.

      I wish they’d figure out the race of the shooter already so we’d know if we’re going to talk about this for the next 10 days or of we’ll move on to something else by Wednesday.

          Iowahawk comments on Twitter:

          And please save you stupid "typical Chicago" hot takes, Highland Park isn't even in Cook County. It's a wealthy, very Jewish North Shore suburb. Please engage the 48 hour rule if you don't want to sound like an idiot.

          You know Ferris Bueller, and Home Alone, and Risky Business, and all the 80s John Hughes teen comedies? That's the Highland Park we're talking about here.

                  I did some googling - and there are a couple of people with that name. I always feel sorry for people with an identical name who are in no way related - but who now are forever linked.

                    Alleged shooter lived in Highwood, the suburb directly north of Highland Park. His parents' residence is in Highland Park.

                    I really hope this guy is captured alive.

                                        Seems to me there's there's a million reasons this can happen. We've blamed it on Muslims, white supremacists, computer gamers, gun owners, and now apparently it's trans folk.

                                        Maybe pointing the finger at some group every time there's a tragedy like this isn't the best response?

                                        At the very least, blaming a group we don't like doesn't seem to have improved things much as far as I can tell.

                                          He's fucked up.

                                          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
