As he seemed to be having concerns over shootings, his videos suggest a lot of thought. It looked as if he might have been thinking about this possibility for some time. Whatever his political views, it was obvious that he has many ongoing problems.
A few pictures have been floating that lead some to conclude that the Highland Park shooting victim is Trump. He is seen in two photos, one at a Trump rally, and the other at an actual Trump rally. Wearing a Trump flag You can also see him sporting an FBI hat.

However, the one with him in the flag seems to be acting out a suicide attempt with the flag, and the picture of him wearing a “Where’s Waldo?” outfit appears to be mocking the Trump rally. That’s actually a play on a joke that Jimmy Kimmel made about Donald Trump. So, it’s not something a Trump supporter would be doing. Leftists are also known to protest at Trump rallies.
While anything is possible and we’ll have to see what comes out as the facts unspool, we’ll note all the evidence trends away from Crimo being a Trump supporter — from the multi-colored hair to being a rapper.
His neck has a rose, along with his account. It is a popular socialist symbol. However, roses may also be used by those without this symbolism.
The likes to his Awake.rip twitter account might tell the whole story.

Now, we’ll doubtless hear more as the story unfolds, but the likes are a good indication of where he lands on the spectrum.
But, it’s pretty sad when you have folks on the left more concerned with trying to somehow attack President Donald Trump than about the people who were killed and hurt. Every mass shooting now becomes “who did it” and a call to get rid of guns–rather than condemning what was done and dealing with a lot of the mental health issues that are almost always involved in these cases. That’s sick, and it’s not productive to solving the real issues behind such cases.
