Under the law, Crimo III was not eligible to purchase the gun when he applied for it because he was not yet 21. The law allowed for consent of a parent, so Crimo Jr. signed consent for his son to buy the gun.

It was legal and occurred more than a year ago, but it showed incredibly bad judgment by the father because he knew since his son was in middle school that the kid had problems. The parents never addressed the problem. Then the father helped him get a gun.

think. They are giving him a free place to live, so even if he came up with the money himself somehow, they would still be responsible in my book.

as the school suggested, he chose to home-school him instead.

I can tell you right now, the kid didn't get much of an education. His father was always too busy in his business to pick his sons up after school, so who was doing the supposed "home-schooling" after he quit school? It wasn't his uncle, because he said he hardly ever talked to the kid.

This father let Fox Noise raise his kid, then he bought him guns when he was still a minor, and 7 people paid with their lives for this man's mistakes and his son's murderous racist proclivities.

"popular" Bob's Deli and Pantry was going to be NOW?

Bob Crimo ran for mayor in 2019..

Highland Park provides a safe, clean and supportive environment for family-oriented businesses to operate,” Crimo responded at the time.

In 2019, Crimo ran for mayor, calling himself “a person for the people.” He was defeated by the city’s current mayor, Nancy Rotering, a Democrat, whose campaign touted the importance of gun control, reported the Independent.

I'm not linking bc of the source.. looks legit though.

If anyone wants the link please PM me.

2018 at 88 so I doubt he was running things in 2016. Crimo, Jr. can't properly care for his finances let alone a very troubled son. Yeah, sure he's mayoral material.

his gawd-given consitutional right to possess firearms took precedent over everything else. Now seven people are dead and countless others are forever mentally scarred because of this fucked-up reTrumplican family's "values".
