It’s time to repeal the second amendment. No more little boys with big guns too scared to deal with the world like an adult.
Biden voters need to open their eyes. If there were no guns he could’ve easily ran over parade goers in that pos car of his. We need more guns than ever before
Heartbreaking. Love and prayers for those lost, the injured, the orphaned toddler and all the families who have lost loved ones. So very sorry. 💕🙏🏼
There’s also video showing cars driving by shooting
Where?
BS.
If I could, I would try to be a surrogate mom to that 22 year old young woman. I am holding her in my heart.
As long as it’s not in their neighborhood all is fine, so sad. We that are living in areas and cities that have all this everyday knows how you feel and you that are living in ‘ never thought is would happened here’ neighborhoods now are understanding how we felt all these years. Lets try to have compassion for all people, and take time to care because the ‘ I did not think it would happen here’ it’s happening. Rest In Peace to all who were injured or killed and may God have mercy on us all. No place is safe, except in the arms of Jesus. Trust him today, allow him to restore our hearts and makes us his.
The shooter here is nothing more than a Calculated Terrorist. This attack was meticulously planned weeks in advance. 7 counts of 1st degree murder is not enough. This Terrorist and all others that perpetrate this kind of act should be prosecuted for what they are TERRORISTS attacking America and American Citizens.
My prayers and thoughts are with you, Republicans!
I mean I know this is America land of the mass shootings but this year seems to especially bad….guess people are making up for lost time spent in quarantine…
Years ago I reported a young man due to his comments online. The police told me then that unless he wrote out a specific time + place there was nothing they could do until something happened. Hopefully that changed but based on the police being called on this man before and him still getting a weapon I don’t think so.
Dude left his wife behind and didn’t know it. What a Guy.
Those were my thoughts. When she said “my husband and friend took off…” he immediately jumped in with “out of nowhere separated” He left her. Didn’t try to protect her at all. Indeed… what a guy.😒
THAT’S THE VERY PROBLEM WITH THIS NATIONS- IDEA OF “PRIVILEGE”….. YOU NEVER THINK IT WILL HAPPEN IN YOUR TOWN REALLY⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
NEWFLASH MONSTERS ARE IN EVERY TOWN ACROSS AMERICA & MANY OF THEM LIVE, BREED & LOOK JUST LIKE YOU
LIVE RIGHT NEXT
D😭😭R
I FEEL SO BAD FOR AMERICA FOR ALL OF US I FEEL SO 💔🆘️🆘️🆘️🫂🫂🫂!
ENOUGH OF THIS “WHITE PRIVILEGE” IDEA 🧠THAT IT’S ALWAYS US & NEVER THEM! IF YOU ALL KNEW HOW MANY MONSTERS LIVE AMONGST YOU IN YOUR COMMUNITIES & THEY ALL LOOK JUST LIKE YOU! THE DELUSION OF IT ALL 💔!
THIS IS WHAT SO CALLED SUPREMACIST PATRIOTS- IT’S NOT ONLY ABOUT RACISM IT’S ABOUT OVER ALL EVIL & THEY CALL IT “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” 🏛⛓️👁🇺🇲🛐💔🕊
A true pillar of the community, 😝😝😝He should be given a medal of honor! He took out the trash with precision! He needs to be free to express his God given rights!!! Stupid colonizers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone shouldn’t go to events til there is better gun laws making it impossible to get these weapons. So then I guess there will never be events and there will be more money to fix the roads, sidewalks and buildings.
Instead of feeling sorry for the people dead let do something about it people !!! Don’t just say sorry do something
The pain and terror these families are going through for someone’s senseless “bandwagon” shooting. I’m starting to feel like these shooters are trying to one up each other and innocent people are getting caught in their game
All I can do is advise people NOT to go to these public outings enjoy private time with your family at home or in a park out of the way of many people. I can see shootings happening at Six Flags or even Disney land so be warned.
Such a tragedy
Feeling sad. We cannot enjoy America any more. America is ruined by lunatics
Thanks to kind lady sheltering strangers child.
thoughts and prayers AGAIN..YET NO ACTION..SMH
When is it going to be enough? 35% of the country is holding us hostage. We need to stop this. I don’t want to hear that you vote Republican because your daddy did. This nonsense has TO STOP. Vote Democrat and get these lunatics out of office.
THIS REPORTER IS SICK ASKING THESE QUESTIONS?
The 89 year old man was shot on Monday morning and he is at home, recovering? And he is ready to be interviewed while walking down a sidewalk?
This is ridiculous 😩 all the innocent people suffering and we can’t have safety anywhere anymore
To give your child to a complete stranger in the midst of chaos to run back and to find your wife and to help others bless you….. And to the people that still heard gunshots and stayed to render aid to those that were hurt your heroes
Good white people of America this have to stop,they say it takes a village to raise a child..
That gun man needs to be executed now to trial nothing…
Why don’t you speak with the 75 victims of the Black on Black shootings this past weekend in Chicago
Oh my God, this sucks!
That is awful. I’m tired of these mass shootings
And the N.R.A. and G.O.P. “CASSION” keeps rolling along!
Actually, they’re quite rare until the .gov traitors get involved!!!
Bring out the crisis actors on cue.
Gun Control didn’t work, as usual. Mind control worked as intended. They don’t want us to have weapons to fight back with.
I went to school with Cassie. We were next door neighbors my freshman year, and even after that, Cassie always greeted me with a warm smile and a kind hello. She is such a kind and loving person and it breaks my heart that she has to go through this now.
Did you play a role in the drill too?
Can’t we all agree that we are not at war in America, so we can get the weapons of war off the streets?
gun access and news coverage is why this is happening. news coverage is immortalizing them. news coverage is what motivates them more than anything else. any attention is better than no attention. sick as it is.
Just can’t believe that a civilized society thinks it’s ok to sell weapons of war to any citizen who wants one. I do not believe that this is what the founding fathers had in mind.
My prayers and thoughts are with the victims. Revelation 21: 3, 4
I’m so so sorry you lost your mom sweet girl, neither of you deserved that. May you find peace in this horrible time and also, rest in paradise to your beautiful mother❤️ along with the other victims of this senseless crime
Why is everyone surprised at mass killing? They been happening here in Amerikkka since 1492 when they arrived…. it’s who they are
🌹
CRI-MO is a PSY-OPS,
The govt has a pipeline underground,they are fuming Non Lethal Chemical weapons or Gaseous drugs on certain Americans,and using Voice Dialogue hypnosis,and a civilian Lynch Mob worse then the KKK to covertly harass Americans in front of Police.
I have been shown Police are also under the govts hypnosis but cant talk about it or they will become victims of this CIA style Lynch Mob.
Could it be a Communist takeover of America using Voice Dialogue hypnosis to blackmail,and chemical weapons to covertly attack,punish?
We were all shocked to learn there was a shooting in my the suburb next to our suburb in Sydney Australia. The Feds will hunt the shooter and the handlers of that one gun as though that gun shot their children! Illegal ownership of guns here will get you and any handler a life term here.
I have NO faith the US can get a downwards trend to mass shootings in 50 years.
Omg she had to leave her mom and keep running. This hurts
omg
Thank you 🙏🏾 to this Couple!! I’m in tears.
This is why we need to remove our money greedy Senators and corrupt supreme court justices who should work for “We the People” not for Party affiliations.
Cassie Goldstein looking down and reading from a script. She looks real broken up, right? Wake up!! Pay attention to detail!! This was an active shooter DRILL!!
As a morally superior progressive genius liberal Democrat I say that all law abiding citizens guns need to be confiscated immediately in order to ensure only criminals have them 😉
One thing I don’t understand is me as a dad I would never left my kid behind to search for my wife,where was the wife at? Second another I would never left my mother behind either knowing she’s been shot I just don’t get it.
🕊
OUT OF THOUSAND COMMENTS. NO ONE TALKING ABOUT BANING THE GUN!! WTF!!
I’m so sorry sweetheart on the loss of your mom. That is the biggest coward move on every level. Trust me, he will to reap the destruction he has sown.
i would have never imagined a shooting in highland😭
I AM TIRED OF HEARING OF THIS STUFF HAPPENING. LITERALLY WTF.
NRA + GOP + Republicans = “We still don’t care about proper gun regulation, or tightening gun background checks, or you or your loved ones randomly getting killed by a mass shooter every week in America”
SICKENING
take the POS out back and dispose of him
Man these trump supporters are getting weirder every day
@Bag of Bones Nah. My body my choice.
My God to have your mom shot right next to you and to have to keep running.This was so painful to watch. I am not American and I just don’t understand why you keep doing this to yourselves instead of really fighting for reasonable gun laws. It is not normal what is happening in your country!
Wait until the public finds out it’s their own Government that makes these shootings happen!
To all the people that lost loved ones in the shooting ,or had loved ones get hurt my heart goes out to all of you . May God bless all of you and know they are in heaven. C.M.
Omg 😢
I lived in the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff/Highland Park area for nearly a decade. I am sorry to see the community hurt like this.
Dean Zelinsky is a legend. I am sorry to see him and his family involved in this ugly mess.
There is a war in our streets. This is what happened in a war zone.
#1 BE NICE TO EVERYONE #2 JOIN THE N.R.A #3 NEVER SUPPORT POLICE “ONLY SUPPORT LAW & ORDER” #4 VOTE REPUBLICAN #5 SMILE BECAUSE LOVE IS ALL & I LOVE YOU #love #freedom #nra
not okay
Heartbreaking!!
Nobody deserve this
Doesnt Chicago have the tightest gun laws? More gun laws will probably fix the issue
Tell NRA this could have been prevented.
NRA has blood on their hands
Ban Assault Weapons—YES, but since Republicans won’t act, please try to secure obvious targets. If the parade route had been surveilled by police camera drones, this might have been prevented. POLICE FAIL
I stop going crowded gathering. go to grocery store get out of there fast.no where is safe no more. just pray for country and families. God is coming soon clean up the world. all the signs are here what Bible says is coming true. we need to weaken repent.
This could have been prevented
Public executions ASAP
many more will come nothing will change.
Absolutely terrible so sad😩😪🙏💕
Soo sorry for the losses
Its Al JOWLson!!!!!
My heart and prayers goes out to the victims families , I believe it’s really very important to be guided by the word of god and be aware how satan works to destroy humanity. Peace, blessings and miracles to all.. ✌️❤️🇵🇭🇺🇸🌍🌎🌏
That judge let Kyle Rittenhouse go free for killing Americans,now see the copycat
Im so disgusted with what America has become
First of all, why does a 22year old need a military gun. Secondly, aren’t the people who sell murder weapons to 22year olds ever think of questions related to murder weapons only to be used in a War situation
Run Karen run
Never run I’m a crowd lay down rip
In a crowd. Sorry for your loss
I’m crying for her and all the families! 22 years and to be killed in front of her is traumatizing! Sending hugs 🤗
Your average violent weekend in Chicago surpasses this entire event. Not a peep from mainstream media. Hundreds of black on black shootings per year in just one city. But they overwhelmingly focus on one singular event because they have an agenda. Wake up people.
Look at all the bots in the comment section.
Ban semi auto rifles and high capacity magazines. Same reason you can’t have grenade launchers, rpg’s or even sawed off shotguns. They are too good at iINDISCRIMINATE killing.
I just want this to stop!!!! How is this world putting a stop to abortions but doing nothing to stop violence?
Yall need to quit it with the fake actresses its getting worse.
Lester Holt tell the American people the truth. The shooter is a proud member of ANTIFA. That’s a FACT!!!
Who after a parent is shot and killed next to them then take the time to interview with msn ? Seems abit staged to me ?
The geek who did this was just another loser who blamed everyone else for his bad rapping.
