Crimo has somewhat of a large internet footprint – performing online as “Awake the Rapper,” while IMDB describes Crimo as a “six foot Hip hop phenom” born on Sept. 20, 2000. “He’s the middle child of three and of Italian descent,” Fox News reports.
Crimo began uploading his music to the internet at age 11, but first gained traction with his 2016 track “By The Pond” featuring Atlas, according to IMDB. His estimated net worth is “$100 thousand.”
Crimo is the son of Bob Crimo, president at Bob’s Pantry & Deli in Highland Park. According to his Facebook account, the father ran for Highland Park mayor in 2020.
The rapper released a cryptic track called “Are You Awake” on Oct. 15, 2021. The track appears to suggest that Crimo was planning a life-defining act beyond his ability to stop. The video includes drawings of a man aiming a rifle at another person. -Fox News

He also “liked” several tweets endorsing the arrest of “every Congressmember who helped organize January 6th,” suggesting he’s a leftist.

Update (1605ET): The death toll has increased to 6, with 24 injured.
Update (1341ET): Five people were dead and 16 others wounded when a gunman opened fire on a Fourth of July parade that kicked off Monday afternoon in Highland Park, a city in the southeastern part of Lake County, Illinois, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The Highland Park Police Department said the shooter is still on the loose. They urged people to seek shelter.
Highland Park resident, Miles Zaremski, said: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”
Zaremski said he saw “people in that area that got shot,” including “a woman covered with blood . . . She did not survive.”
Debbie Glickman, another resident, told Associated Press she was on a parade float when she turned around and saw people running away from the area.
“People started saying, ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter, there a shooter,'” Glickman said. “So we just ran. We just ran. It’s like mass chaos down there.”

A Chicago suburb canceled what was left of its 4th of July celebration after gunfire erupted during a parade in the affluent neighborhood of Highland Park, according to NBC5 Chicago.
The Chicago Sun Times reports that multiple people were shot.
A Sun-Times reporter saw blankets placed over three bloodied bodies. Other people, running, were visibly bloodied. Police told people: “Everybody disburse, please. It is not safe to be here.”
“STAY OUT OF THE AREA – allow law-enforcement and first responders to do their work,” posted the sheriff on social media, while Illinois state police called the situation “active.”
More via the Sun Times:
Several witnesses said they heard multiple shots fired. One witness said he counted more than 20 shots.
Miles Zaremski, a Highland Park resident, told the Sun-Times: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”
Zaremski said that after the shots at Central Avenue around Second Avenue in downtown Highland Park, he saw “people in that area that got shot,” including “a woman covered with blood . . . She did not survive.”
…
Police were patrolling the area with rifles, apparently looking for whoever fired the shots.
Adrienne Drell, a former Sun-Times reporter, said she was sitting on a curb along Central Avenue watching the parade when she saw members of the Highland Park High School marching band start to run.
“Go to Sunset,” Drell said she heard the students shout, directing people to nearby Sunset Food.
A man picked her up off the curb and urged her to get out, Drell said.
“The Illinois State Police is currently assisting Highland Park PD with an active shoot situation that occurred at the Highland Park Parade,” tweeted the police. “The public is advised to avoid the area of Central Ave and 2nd St. in Highland Park.”
The city of Highland Park also cautioned people to avoid the area, writing on Facebook: “Fourth Fest has been canceled. Please avoid downtown Highland Park. More information will be shared as it becomes available.”

I like the Nike shoe photoshop into the fake pooled blood photo. All it takes is to watch the crisis actor interviews to determine that this is a staged event. The witnesses accounts defy all reason and logic as well as a complete lack of tears. The technology exists to create the ridiculous backstory to this made up shooter. These are most likely drills in my opinion that are conducted to provide the footage needed.
Bingo!

Lets listen to the Doctor ” Brigham Temple ” 19 out of the 25 gun shot actors were able to go home, LMFAO.
I already knew the whole thing was fake, because they’re all fake — but thanks for pointing that detail out… it only confirms it.
For those questioning the fakeness, why would someone (not a LEO) be standing next to a pool of blood for a picture? Also, is the left leg of the nike-wearer kneeling on the metal bench there, or is this person only half-wide? Why would you be kneeling over a pool of blood? Watch the twotter videos — no one jumps up or starts running when the “shots” start, and then the video is mostly pointed at the ground… Why is that?
The lunatic “perp” is a planted planned fail, riddled with numerology:

There is undoubtedly a disproportionate number of times a Nike symbol is included in “crime scene” photos for some strange reason in almost every “mass shooting “
It’s called product placement — you see it in TV and movies, too … the company actually pays for it …
Another sick psycho & product of a godless dystopian society where anything goes now.
See above, look closer
Crimo wearing a FBI hat, have we reached peak FF territory yet? This guy doesn’t pass the sniff test.
We are told that there are people (The fucking Post Office for one, SMH) who monitor the net and there are algos that look for things. Here we have an asshat Stoner shithead, minor rap star with thousands of followers and in one case over TWO MILLION downloads with a framed newspaper about Lee Harvey Oswald and bizarre musings. Yet they didn’t flag this guy and of course the FBI/NICS approved a gun purchase. The Illinois State Police also granted him a FOID (Firearms Owner Identification) card.
I feel so fucking protected by these “rough men” guarding the walls.
Yes it is beyond ridiculous at this point.
Here is what I know – Another recruit by the FBI. They love finding the wack job freaks slung out on psychiatric drugs, mainly raised in an upper middle class family, and of course white. They give him a couple ARs, shit ton of ammo, and probably even train him. Then he goes and shoots at families out enjoying themselves. The media and politicians ignore all of the blatant problems with the dude and focus on the firearm (which is ALWAYS an AR).
Bans will be coming. The liberals know they only need to sway a handful of Republican Senators and use it as a campaign point come November. They want the guns and will plan as many “mass shootings” as it takes to keep pressuring the American people to demand gun bans. Then once they get their assault weapons ban, these will continue, until they can push it to the point of confiscation.
A prosecutor told me this guy has what they call heroin face. There is also a Meth face that they can instantly spot on a defendant. The Physiogony(sic) thing HSF pointed out to us. It is mind blowing how many little rich fuques in this suburb and surrounding suburbs are dropping like flies from heroin and fentanyl. There is no one there who doesn’t know someone with an OD’d kid, but “the guns, the guns!” Easier to blame something besides your being a shitty money grubbing social climbing asshole parent.
If you have never heard this, one of the nearby burbs, Kenilworth, is the highest income zip code in the US. Not Beverly Hills or some other place that gets all the publicity for extravagance.
Bans can come all they want. Bans will not deter the criminal who will find a way to get guns. Please prove me wrong
“And the band played on…”
When I was young, we used to watch parades from the rooftop of a family friend. It was way cool.
…and what was the murder rate in Chicago this weekend????
15 before 10am yesterday. Those pictures look like the Pride parade the shitheads staged here last week. Never done knew them thar sissy boys was all Klan fellers.
More than likely another fake shooting. There are so many of these days I don’t even bother to study them anymore.
Yawn………………another mentally ill democrat faggot……….yawn !
Ten seconds after he was ID’d they were saying he’s a Trump supporter. It would be a first but somebody has to be the first in 40 years of this shit. Reminds me I personally know the lawyer in Cali for McDonalds who handled the first mass shooting by that Huberty nutjob. Big brother of a grade school buddy. Any other old IPSC shooters here who shot the “McDonalds Lobby” course of fire in the 80’s?
He’s gonna need several cases of Ass Lube in prison ….. assuming he doesn’t suicide himself.
Whether at an old age, or soon, he will die someday. A far more severe justice awaits this demented piece of shit in eternity. I hope, I hope, I HOPE!!!!
Bubba don’t need no grease.
Things are clearly ramping up. Thought the Federal Bureau of Insurrection was only occasionally ‘caught’ Red handed, like when their acronym was on a PA megaphone. Their myriad ‘Terrorists!’ groups ‘uncovered’ involvement not withstanding, of course.
Now, it’s on the hat of that drug addled, mind controlled Psycho.
EVERY word entered on the net is IMMEDIATELY analyzed in real time by some Carnivore program or another, compliments of ‘mittens’ server farm, and others, Most likely bozo’s ‘warehouses’.
Might ‘sign up’ for some some ‘social media’ site and post:
Howdy! New here. Just getting ready to plant a garden in my yard, ( Don’t want to say FRONT yard…might be taken out by a drone strike before i hit ‘Post Comment’)..and wondered if anyone would be so gracious as to provide some insight as it relates to beginner No-No’s based on experience. Any helpful links to gardening sites/videos much appreciated.
No red rush, just helping the Neighborhood Kids set up a lemonade stand…Teach them about the ‘Free Market’, and Capitalism.
Sincerely,….🚀
Folks shooting up people they do not know/driving into crowds of people they do not know,I just do not understand it…..,and for that I am grateful!
You can tell by the pink hair and FBI hat that he definitely MAGA.
And he’s not white.
