Democratic Highland Park mayor calls shooting terrorism, police dispute her.

[RandySF]

Why am I not surprised?

[mucifer]

1. Mayor more liberal than the cops. Big surprise !

[The Magistrate]

2. In Other Words, Sir

The man's political views don't seem far out of line with those of the police....

[BlackSkimmer]

9. Do you know the man?

Familiar with his political views, are you?

[The Magistrate]

14. Celebrating Indepence Day, Dear?

"Silence is the perfect expression of scorn."

[underpants]

3. What the hell else could it be?

This so pisses me off. So….ugh!

[Bluethroughu]

4. She's a Democrat...

We need the military and police have a thurough comb through, and eject these sympathizers of magaland.

[delisen]

5. Terrorism to keep unarmed people out of the public space

Ongoing coup.

[tblue37]

8. This. I would not attend a parade now, or any similar public gathering. If my kids were

still young, I wouldn't take them to such gatherings, either.

[Cha]

6. But Facts are Facts.. What would

the police call it?

Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

[RockRaven]

7. Police: "No it's not terrorism. We just told you: the suspect is white. WHITE. Do you

understand now?"

[crickets]

23. *ding* We have a winner. nt

10. Highland Park is quite a liberal city.

I can see citizens here demanding real change.

[RandySF]

12. I saw PRIDE flags along the street.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. Change Of What? nt

[kacekwl]

16. Gun laws, assault weapons ban.

You know that kind of things

[SoCalDavidS]

19. You're Kidding, Right?

Newtown, Vegas, Parkland, Boston, Uvalde.......among others.

Change of gun laws, assault weapons?

You're kidding, right?

[kacekwl]

24. I'm not kidding at one time

Highland Park banned assault weapons in their city. If the federal government won't they might.

21. See my post, #20, below.

They already have such laws, and a local doctor who lives and works there sued the town over this. Went all the way to the Supreme Court, who did not take the case.

The current court probably would take it.

11. I call it another glorious day in GunMurka!

I am sure all of us are going to be educated on the values of law abiding gunners over the next few days, right here on Democratic Underground. Notice the Democratic in the name haha.

[calimary]

15. But that's what it IS.

Domestic Terrorism.

Another young white male DOMESTIC TERRORIST.

[dchill]

17. You are not surprised because it's not surprising.

Many of our police forces have skinheads as members. What could go wrong? One of these days the perp is going to turn out to BE a cop.

[Paladin]

18. Police can get busy, fucking themselves.

Terrorism is exactly what it is. Same goes for the next 100 times it happens---will that even get us to the end of the year?

20. A pediatrician and father of 5 from Highland Park

...sued the city over it's ban on military style weapons. It went all the way to the Supreme Court. The court declined to take the case.

I wonder if any of the victims are patients of his.

The mayor of Highland Park ran in the June 28th Democratic primary, for IL Supreme Court. She had several high level endorsements, including Jill Wine-Banks and House representative Jan Schakowsky, but did not win the primary.

25. It i may be right wing terrorism

We'll see.

[Rebl2]

26. Don't care

what the police say. If this isn’t terrorism, I don’t know what is.

[malaise]

27. The son of a Trumpie gun not who ran for Mayor

climbs on a roof and opens fire on a parade and watchers in a mostly Democratic suburb?
What the fuck is it if not terrorism?
