YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The father of the man accused of gunning down seven people during a July 4 parade last year in Illinois pleaded guilty to helping his son get a gun license despite glaring warning signs.

Robert Crimo Jr. pleaded guilty to seven misdemeanors Monday in Lake County court in Illinois and was quickly sentenced to 60 days behind bars beginning next week.

He was initially charged with seven reckless endangerment felonies after Robert Crimo III allegedly opened fire during the 2022 Independence Day parade in Highland Park.

Crimo Jr. helped his son obtain a gun license in 2019 even after a relative told police months before that the then 19-year-old had a cache of knives and threatened to “kill everyone” in the home, authorities previously said.

As a result, a sword, dagger and 15 knives were temporarily confiscated from the suspected mass shooter’s home.
