I hope they run Crimo's father out of Illinois.

I don't know how that would be possible, but it would send one hell of a message.

16. ugh, sickening

still, he has a lot of company

[Ocelot II]

2. How was the dad involved?

[SoCalDavidS]

5. So He Has NO Responsibility For What His 22 Year Old Son Has Become?

Dad is also a TFG Loving POS.

[Ocelot II]

13. We don't know much about the father, but are we going to criminalize entire families

just on the basis of their political affiliation? Isn't what TFG and other GOPers tried to do to Hunter Biden? The father might have some moral responsibility depending on what he actually taught him - which we don't know - but his son is an adult and is responsible for his own crimes.

17. The concept of "family shame" is very strong in Asia but, not in the USA.

We are more concerned with "individualism"...some theorize this is one factor as to why mass shooting do not occur as often in countries like the Philippines even though guns are prevalent there.

18. Let's wait to find out more about the perp and his family before assuming facts

that are not currently in evidence.

[Progressive Lawyer]

19. I did not assume any facts about this shooting.

I said the concept of "family shame" is strong in Asia and that in the US there is a stronger emphasis on the individual.

[Ocelot II]

20. There are several why we have so many shootings,

and the widespread availability of all kinds of guns is obviously the big one but it's not the only one. Family shame or the lack of it might be a factor but in this particular case we don't know anything yet.

[Progressive Lawyer]

21. That's why is said the family shame could be ONE factor. I did not say it is the only factor.

7. That's His Grandfather

His Father ran as a repub for Mayor of that city his son shot up.

[ProfessorGAC]

10. That's The Grandfather

His dad recently ran for mayor in HP. Lost to the current mayor.
That obit is grandpa.
This kid is a "the third" not a junior. Dad is junior.

[BlackSkimmer]

6. Do we want to do that to all criminals' families?

Or just the Republican ones?

[Baitball Blogger]

9. The ones that raise kids to use guns to solve their problems.

11. Seems To Be More A Pattern With repub Families

These shooters tend to come from right wing families. Not exclusively, but much more prevalent.

14. They're armed and smiling in their Christmas cards.

I call that Exhibit A.

[BlackSkimmer]

15. The young men killing other young men every single bloody day in this country probably

don’t even have political affiliations. There’s a pattern with those killings too, but I don’t think it’s necessarily political.

[RockRaven]

12. Oh hell no. Bankrupt him, and make him stay in the same community he's always lived in,

every day having to encounter people who know exactly who he is and what he stood for and what his son did. Every damned minute of every day everyone he interacts with knows all his shit.

Running someone out of town let's them start over in a new place, and spin a yarn. No restart button for this turd.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

22. Unless his dad provided the gun

knowing what he was going to do with it, I'm not into punishing groups, including famiies, for what one person does.
