Highland Park shooting suspect posted anti-Asian rant

Online postings reveal Highland Park shooting suspect Robert “Bobby” Crimo III targeted Asians, Blacks and Jews alike in his racist and anti-semitic social media posts.

The New York Post reports Crimo posted under the moniker Awake47.

Among his rants “(Asian people) should be gassed then washed” on July 2, two days before authorities say he fired on a crowd during a July 4th parade in the suburban city outside of Chicago, Highland Park.

Another read “i say we just get rid of the blacks all together” on June 28 and “the math is all scewed (sic). The logistics of 6m jews doesn’t make sense but i’m just retarded,” he wrote on June 25,

He faces seven counts of first-degree murder.

The Institute of Strategic Dialogue, a group that monitors online content from extremists, told ABC Crimo has an extensive online presence associating himself with hatred and far-right and neo-fascist ideology.

“He was not just crying out for help, he was screaming out for it,” said John Cohen, an ABC News contributor.

Classmates are not surprised at what Crimo is accused of doing.

“There were a lot of red flags,” said one classmate to NBC News who asked not to be identified.

“He was in his own world,” said 22-year-old Nick Pacileo.
