Inside the Sick Posts of July 4 Massacre ‘Person of Interest’
"The 22-year-old Illinois man identified as a person of interest in Monday’s parade massacre is an amateur rapper who posted disturbing videos on his YouTube channel, including a crude animation depicting a gunman being killed by police.
In addition to videos filled with violent imagery and mass-shooting fantasy, Robert “Bobby” Crimo last year posted a video on his personal blog of Central Avenue in Highland Park—the main street of the parade route.
Another one showed a headline referring to Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of President John F. Kennedy. He reportedly posted video of a beheading to a message board.
Crimo, who was taken into custody about seven hours after a sniper attack left six dead and dozens more injured, went by the name of Awake the Rapper on social media."
