Officials identified the person-of-interest is 22-year-old Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, and previously reported that he was driving a 2010 silver Honda Fit.

Crimo was taken into custody on Monday evening after a brief chase.

Chief Lou Jogmen of the Highland Park Police said that Crimo was caught after a North Chicago police unit noticed him in his car. When the police attempted to apprehend him, Crimo fled, leading officers on a brief chase, before they were able to stop him and place him under arrest, Jogmen said.

Crimo was being transported to the Highland Park Police Department following his arrest.

Crimo III, also known as Awake The Rapper, has the number 7 tattooed near his right eye. The number 47 is controversial, as it has been used in the past by groups to symbalize the Nazi swastika.

A little over 8 months ago Crimo III uploaded a video to YouTube, in which he describes some impending event he feels himself drawn to, and questions whether or not he has free will. In the background, there are flashing images, including a cartoon drawing of a shooter and shooting victim.

The YouTube channel has since been terminated.

So sad… young man at the age of 22 taking innocent lives and ruining his for just no good reason. A decision he wont be able to reverse even after being genuine regretful behind bars. Mentally retarded. Sad!

This individual was surrounded by police officers, but in just a few seconds he killed 6 people, wounded 24 and traumatized a community. We need to come to terms with the fact that semi-automatic weapons are powerful and nothing can stop them, even a good guy with a gun.

There have been photos of the accused shooter at a Trump rally and one of him wrapped in a Trump flag. Clearly he was a troubled young man who shouldn’t have been allowed to own a gun.

BeAware: this video is using techniques for inducing hypnotic suggestion.
May be NOT such a great idea to post it for viewing by possibly susceptible-to-hypnosis readers.

In previous generations, someone his age (even with low income) would either be married with children, or on his way to this. “The American Dream” once included a wife and children (not just a house and car) for everyone. “When you ain’t got nothin’ you got nothin’ to lose.” (There is also, of course, the violence they see and hear on TV shows, movies, and music videos, as well as the “spirit of impurity” generated by “alternative lifestyles.”)
