Robert Crimo III was already a creepy fucker. Just based on his Youtube videos and social media posts. But now it’s been mentioned that Crimo wore women’s clothing during the rooftop shooting that lead to the death of six people at a Fourth of July Parade in Highland Park, Illinois yesterday. The media is using the excuse that Crimo wore women’s clothes to “hide his identity” and escape. I have more questions.
The shooter who allegedly opened fire on the Highland Park Fourth of July parade was dressed in women’s clothing to disguise himself and aid his escape, police said Tuesday.
Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, 21, is accused of killing 6 innocent parade-goers and injuring at least 30 others after he allegedly climbed onto the roof of a business in the wealthy Chicago suburb on Monday and fired off 70 rounds from a high-powered rifle.
He then ditched the legally purchased weapon on the roof so he could blend in with the crowd as he fled during the chaos, Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli told a news briefing.
“Crimo was dressed in women’s clothing and investigators do believe he did this to conceal his facial tattoos and his identity,” Covelli said. “He was seen on video camera in women’s clothing.”
He may have even donned a hairpiece to complete his disguise, authorities said.
