1. Will Trump's super pac pay for his legal defense?

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Nah..... He hardly knew the guy (so he'll say)..........

More likely Rudy will step up and offer to help........

[tclambert]

30. No, they'll save their money and just call him Antifa.

Just ignore all those Trump posters and red hats and white supremacist paraphernalia. Just keep repeating, "Antifa!" and when his RW connections can't be denied any longer, say, "We shouldn't politicize this."

And you can tell he has mental health problems by the color of his skin.

[BigmanPigman]

2. CNN doesn't even have this news yet.

[mucifer]

4. It's a press conference from Police

[malaise]

10. On M$NBComcast now n/t

[BigmanPigman]

16. That's what I am watching now too.

[RockRaven]

3. This is my shocked face when cops arrest a white mass murderer alive the same week they

put 60 bullets into an unarmed black man's back:

7. ...

[LuckyCharms]

11. Oh shit, well done!!

[RockRaven]

14. LOL... But I feel bad, she doesn't deserve to be associated with this crap. nt

[Treefrog]

20. Ugh.

Betty White shouldn’t be associated with this horror.

Not funny.

[Rebl2]

27. Agreed

[uponit7771]

25. right ?!

[calimary]

35. Just looking at that photo, I wonder if anybody really appreciated how pretty she was.

[MyOwnPeace]

8. Yeah, ain't THAT the truth..........

A Honda riddled with bullets like Bonnie & Clyde's car doesn't help the 'Police Benevolent Society' collection campaign......

[tclambert]

32. Hey now, if he shoots a white guy, the cop would get in trouble.

A black guy? Not so much. You know, it's almost like black lives don't matter.

[usonian]

6. Did he call Kyle? nt

[Rebl2]

28. No but

his parents will be calling K’s lawyer probably.

[LuckyCharms]

9. Wait...they didn't put 60 bullets into him?

[John1956PA]

12. Thank you for all of your posts updating us DUers. n/t

[iemanja]

13. I can't find this anywhere in the print media

Or on CNN. Who is Chris Tye?

[Nevilledog]

17. ...

Link to tweet

[iemanja]

18. I've since seen it on WaPo

Thank you for the link. I don't consider twitter to be reliable or print media, unless it is from a news publication. What it does is feed rumors. But thank you for the tweet. I know you were trying to help. I'm just frustrated at the rumors flying around and how easily people take every random photo or tweet as evidence. He may turn out to be a MAGAT, but a photo that looks sort of like him doesn't convince me.

[Mr.Bill]

26. Shit, they don't even

have their knee on his neck.

[Rebl2]

29. Wonder why

[calimary]

36. Indeed.

[Justice matters.]

38. I guess, contrary to the orange menace, they were able to "learn" their lesson?

Oh, and he did not shoot, nor attempted to shoot at them?

[yardwork]

15. They didn't fire 90 rounds at his back?

[Treefrog]

19. Did he run?

Pretty sure he’d be dead if he had.

[LeftInTX]

21. His car ran!

[MontanaMama]

22. Running should not be a death sentence

for a traffic stop.

[spudspud]

39. Wow. /nt

[dchill]

24. He's white, so that is not a valid question!

[ancianita]

23. Thing is, it took them at least five hours from the shooting. Crimo could have easily made it

over the state line by then, since Kenosha, WI, is only one hour from Highland Park.

So seriously, what the hell is this all about. Did he just drive around, waiting for the cops? Did the cops just hang out with him and later report that they found him? Was his apprehension really nothing except that slow? That incompetent? I find any of this hard to believe. Who's going to tell the actual story of his apprehension. Probably no one. That part I don't find hard to believe.

Reporters -- supposedly having learned from the Uvalde coverup, and other mass shooting arrests -- ought to dig into this better than they did re Uvalde's law enforcement.

Mass shootings do a lot of death, community harm, and national psychological harm, and slow police response to them are even more alarming when we think about how fast they move to protect "important" people.

[Justice matters.]

31. They didn't know who the mass-murderer was for hours.

They asked for tips and they got some pointing at this weirdo's "Awaken"-some-sh!t "productions" online.

Edit: Then they searched for his "past" criminal-record history and found his mug shot.

[ancianita]

40. I'm not buying it. I found the google images shit online within a minute of learning his name.

That was around 4 pm EST.

The shooting took place before 10:40 AM, the first report of it was 1 PM.

First reports of a name showed up on Chris Hayes around 5 pm, by which time we here already knew the name. The alleged shooter apprehended at a distance just 30 minutes north of Highland Park, then brought back by Highland Park Police, but as of 7 PM EST no charges were filed.

AND what police did with him after they apprehended him is also weird.

Not buying into the "good policing" line yet. I'm not buying that Crimo was seriously trying to get away in a car, either.

[DET]

37. Seriously?

The guy was taken in about five hours after the shooting. It takes at least several hours to put out a description and get reliable tips. That’s pretty damn fast. I haven’t seen any reason to fault the cops in this case.

[ancianita]

41. Yeah. Seriously. Crimo could have been half way up through Wisconsin by the time

they got the name. So go ahead and explain the likelihood that he just thought he could hang around a major interstate all that time.

[DET]

43. What's Your Solution

Exactly what do you think that law enforcement should have done differently to catch him sooner? Stop every car looking for a skinny white guy with dark hair?

[ancianita]

44. I don't have to have a solution. You go first if you want solutions.

[DET]

45. I Don't Think So

I’m not the one complaining about the lack of response.

[ancianita]

46. I didn't think you would. Try looking around DU. That's where solutions have come

up each and every time there's a mass shooting. A LOT of solutions.

But then along with them is a lot of complaining, though, so look out.

[calimary]

33. As of this writing (7:20pm Pacific) he was still described as a "person of interest."

Not yet a full-on "suspect."

[Justice matters.]

34. Innocent until proven guilty, yes.

That's the "due process" thingie.

[calimary]

42. At times like this, I want to get all the terminology correct.

Not a lawyer so I try to be careful.
