Crimo has somewhat of a large internet footprint – performing online as “Awake the Rapper,” while IMDB describes Crimo as a “six foot Hip hop phenom” born on Sept. 20, 2000. “He’s the middle child of three and of Italian descent,” Fox News reports.
Crimo began uploading his music to the internet at age 11, but first gained traction with his 2016 track “By The Pond” featuring Atlas, according to IMDB. His estimated net worth is “$100 thousand.”
Crimo is the son of Bob Crimo, president at Bob’s Pantry & Deli in Highland Park. According to his Facebook account, the father ran for Highland Park mayor in 2020.
The rapper released a cryptic track called “Are You Awake” on Oct. 15, 2021. The track appears to suggest that Crimo was planning a life-defining act beyond his ability to stop. The video includes drawings of a man aiming a rifle at another person. -Fox News

I think Robert Crimo is a psycho. Planned it all out to look like he’s both a Trump supporter and a Biden supporter. Perhaps a true accelerationist. He’s got everyone squabbling over his politics but at the end of the day he killed innocents and represents no one but himself.

Crimo’s Instagram, Discord, Twitter, YouTube and other social media platforms have taken down his material.

Highland Park resident, Miles Zaremski, said: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”
Zaremski said he saw “people in that area that got shot,” including “a woman covered with blood . . . She did not survive.”

“People started saying, ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter, there a shooter,'” Glickman said. “So we just ran. We just ran. It’s like mass chaos down there.”

“STAY OUT OF THE AREA – allow law-enforcement and first responders to do their work,” posted the sheriff on social media, while Illinois state police called the situation “active.”
Witnesses say the shooter was on the roof of Uncle Dan’s and fired into parade. 5 or 6 shots, then a pause, then 5 or 6 more shots. The shooter is still at large and North Shore residents are being asked to stay inside. #highlandpark @WGNNews

More via the Sun Times:
Several witnesses said they heard multiple shots fired. One witness said he counted more than 20 shots.
Miles Zaremski, a Highland Park resident, told the Sun-Times: “I heard 20 to 25 shots, which were in rapid succession. So it couldn’t have been just a handgun or a shotgun.”
Zaremski said that after the shots at Central Avenue around Second Avenue in downtown Highland Park, he saw “people in that area that got shot,” including “a woman covered with blood . . . She did not survive.”
…
Police were patrolling the area with rifles, apparently looking for whoever fired the shots.
Adrienne Drell, a former Sun-Times reporter, said she was sitting on a curb along Central Avenue watching the parade when she saw members of the Highland Park High School marching band start to run.
“Go to Sunset,” Drell said she heard the students shout, directing people to nearby Sunset Food.
A man picked her up off the curb and urged her to get out, Drell said.
“The Illinois State Police is currently assisting Highland Park PD with an active shoot situation that occurred at the Highland Park Parade,” tweeted the police. “The public is advised to avoid the area of Central Ave and 2nd St. in Highland Park.”

Why Russia should bother planning to defeat America ?? She is so good in defeating herself !
You are right, Americans are total dehumanised savages. Now our Zionist government has given them bases and they will destroy Poland too,
Unlikely to be Trump supporter! He looks totally libtard, 120%. He is for sure democrat, antifa and blm supporter.
in a more enlightened America if that freak stepped out in public, he would have the shit knocked out of him
If he was a black man he would have been shot 60 times by fat racist pigs…SLAVA ROSSIYA
Dumbass!
Yes you are. Dumb, obese asshole like all you Murican Mutants.
In Russia he would have the shit knocked out of him. And hey, russians don’t condone dressing like a monster with red hair and an astronaut-ish suit. So they are right, there are no multiple genders, no justification for pedophilia, no support for other freaky states of mind.
These freaks must go into a mental hospital, not be left free to roam the streets.
These MK ultra subjects are the patsies of the real killers. They dont even do it, they are the scape goats victims patsies they are set up.
His conduct is considered a huge call for help, his pink hair and austronautic suit, his behaviour, his tattoes…In a true Democratic and Liberal society from begining of the XX before WWI they will help him I’m consided myself a PRE WWI liberal when Liberalism were all about to get rid of chains and blames of religions so Humans can develop their full potential and help their societies to grown and evolve… During and after WWI everything changed… democracy were not democracy anymore and liberalism were not liberalism anymore. I could not live in a country where BIG BROTHER or BIG COMRADE is controlling me all time, I could not live in that country, and all countries today are controlling their population.
America is land of the fat freaks. The obese and mentally retarded. The Zionist whores with sugary cones.
These MK ultra are just the patsies.
Looks like a typical unhinged, overmasturbating, basement dwelling generation X with mental health problems
Yeah, degenerates like Yamil Perez…. this freak was probably his ex-boyfriend 🤢
The patsies are MK ultra victims while the killers who pull the trigger are FBI or part of the ‘deep states’ ‘security’ services.
For world peace other Crimo are needed: Crimo IV, Crimo V, so on.
The only good Yankee is the dead Yankee
It is SO F*CKING OBVIOUS. FBI False Flag leftist patsy targeting Yankistani heritage activated by the handlers of Coup Pres. Pdeo Joe due to his massive internal and external policy failures. Also, to divert Yankistani peasants from coming elections disasters which will be stolen. Notice how quickly the full back story of the patsy is available. Also, notice how NO FALSE FLAGS EVER affects jewish areas. Maybe, some mass casualty events should happen in jewish areas (a good destination for all those western arms in Ukraine).
Here is an article in the Jerusalem Post about more culturally destructive Talmudic Subversion by Plaga Judea. Abortion is a jewish value and should be safeguarded – National Council of Jewish Women.

Follow the teachings of Prophet Borat AKA Sacha Baron Cohen – Jew, “Throw the jew down the well and your country will be free”.
The creatures on these lists would seem to be reasonable targets. What say you Yankistanis? Chop. Chop. Chop. The Dutch have more balls than you.
>>>>https://www.goyimtv.tv/v/1645498584/FLYERS-ARE-GETTING-BIGGER—
Just remember when apprehending jews to kneel on their necks before beating them as they have taught Yankistani police.
America vs Judaism: America in the Middle of a Revolution.
>>>https://www.bitchute.com/video/2K8Zn8yMaI5I/
Jews DESPISE truths, facts and criticism.
I must be over the truth targets. Jew bots are giving me negative marks.
Don’t worry fellow Goyim. I will continue to drop truth bombs.
Did you ever wonder why jews dry hump the wailing wall?
>>>https://www.goyimtv.tv/v/1106866678/WHY-DO-JEWS-DRY-HUMP-THE-AIR-WHILE–PRAYING–AT-THE-ROMAN-WALL-
Im giving you negative marks… not all Jews are equals! Grown up! Sometimes is funny to make fun of groups but you must do privately not in public… Are you jealouos because Jesus means just Kosher to the Hebrews? Christians thinks their God is the sheep who takes the sins away… instead its just Kosher (learn how DIALECTs works)… Christian Religion just mean Kosher into the eyes of Wise Enlighted Man, its a tool to achieve society control and appeasement, subdued people but in their mind.
Success!!! Truth depth charges forced a jew bot to the surface.
Hava Nagila Poobah, Kabbalah Foofah, its all just shite!!!
Jews love collective punishment, so talk to the hand. Treat ALL jews as they are treating the Palestinians.
Hey Edgar,
Why don’t you perform the Pagan Rain Dance of Many Shekels for us Goyim? Watch the Yiddish Monkey Goblins with their girly curls dance. Ha Ha Ha!!!!

Highland Park, IL is a Jewish area. But, is there any evidence that anyone died? I have seen not one body on the street, not one body being covered with a sheet, not one body being loaded into the ambulances just standing around (like to police). It’s strange that the blood next to fountain not only looks fake but isn’t even roped off as a crime scene!
Yes Sherlock, go back to watch your favorite series ” S.C.I Holywood “
Hasbara… FBI Hasbara… You know it!
Just another patsy.
Vladimirovitch Putine must give a weapon at each US people this will be fast they auto destruct themselves for free ! lol
Long range missiles and anti-air defense 😃
FOAB. Problem solved
Just wait for MSM to blame Putin for this
Soon as I saw his tatooes I knew he was no good.
Another Jewish fed psyop shooting, followed by immediate Jewish congressman asking for more gun control and Joe Biden saying he will push for more unconstitutional gun laws.
They say he is a white supremacist, if so why did he shoot fellow whites and not Jews at a synagogue?
Part of peak Clowne world
New Syrian passports found near the bodies in the highland park?
The latest horrific mass shooting must be taken as a warning. Fascistic violence is dripping from every pore of capitalist society, and democratic forms of government are crumbling under the weight of America’s massive social inequality. The fight against fascist violence and the defense of basic democratic rights require the building of a socialist movement of the working class.

Isn’t this like the 10th school / public shooting in 2 month’s time?
There is no way on Earth that this retard did all this media stuff on his own. The pedo’s in gov’t and its secret agencies have grooming down pat.
