Mass shooting at Highland Park 4th parade

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.

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.

Ok, that helps me plan my week. Thanks.

Sorry, in a society that is celebrating the fucked-up as desirable, this is what you get.

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.

Look at the kid. Look at his videos.
He's fucked up.

Everybody who kills lots of people in a mass shooting is fucked up in one way or another - it's a prerequisite. The last school shooting was initially blamed on the guy being trans, except of course it turns out he wasn't. Somebody else immediately assumed the guy in Denmark was a Muslim, except of course he wasn't.
