I grew up around highland park. It's white, safe and lots of money there. I cannot believe this. Shootings really can happen anywhere, so scary. |
Of course they can. That’s why a significant portion of the country wants to get rid of them. No one is safe. It’s insane that we continue on this way. |
| I grew up in the town next door. Horrifying. |
|
Just watched the press conference. 6 dead, 24 seriously injured. Shooter is a white man, age 18-21. He has not been caught yet but rumors about him being barricaded with hostages are not true.
I have several friends in that area. Fortunately the one who was at the parade is safe. This is horrific. |

Highland Park, IL is a very wealthy north shore suburb. This is so horrible. Americans watching a parade celebrating America and they’re mowed down.
You do not have freedom if you can’t watch a parade on the 4th without fear of being shot! |
| Happy 2nd Amendment Day y’all! |
| HP and North Shore native PPs, could the motive be anti-semitism? |
| Why is this in the politics forum? |
Sure. Lake Forest native here but it’s most likely another hateful white kid. |
Because gun control (and lack of it) is political. |
Because it raises the question of America's rampant unregulated gun crisis. |
Don’t be daft. Where the f else should it be?! |
Off Topic? It's NEWS. People should know what's going on and discuss it. |
| Way to celebrate our “freedom” in the USA. Too bad we don’t have the freedom to stand outside and watch a damn parade without the possibility of a teenager blowing you away. |
It’s very much on topic - a political topic - and people are discussing it. |
