Radio GAG is back after a short break with our Summer Shame episode. The show is all about the very big news in our national conversation about gun violence. We've had a Supreme Court ruling on New York State's hand gun permit process. Our legislature has passed a number of new laws designed to keep us safer. Our federal government has passed bi-partisan gun reform legislation for the first time in more than 20 years to address the crisis of gun violence. This week our country was shocked as gunfire rang out amid the floats and brass marching bands at the Highland Park Fourth of July Parade. Hearts are heavy and protestors have hit the streets, pushing back on the killing of young Jayland Walker in Akron, Ohio by police. Here at home, Azsia Johnson was killed while pushing her young child in a stroller. And seven people gathered to watch that Fourth of July Parade were killed. Our focus this week is on the intersection of these killings and Domestic Violence. Domestic and Family violence play into the heavy toll gun violence takes on our families and communities. Our special guest is Stephanie McGraw from W.A.R.M., We All Really Matter, a domestic violence rescue organization. Hosts: Sarah Germain Lilly and Virginia Vitzhum Contributor: Libby Edwards
After discussing the recent bird news and the foiled marriage of Shinzo Abe at the Georgia Guidestones, Dimes and Judas deeply unpack a recent controversy kicked up by Scott Adams on broken children and how he would deal with hopeless teenagers, framed around the recent Highland Park Fourth of July massacre. Dimes then heaps on the data and discusses the book "The Information" by James Gleick, which breaks down the multidisciplinary field of information theory and the ultimate merging of thought, engineering, and biology. It is here we learn the full breadth of what information is and how it influences our physical reality. In the last segment, The Copepranos Society features Canada's own Dr. Ricardo Duchesne where they discuss the unique Faustian spirit of the Western man, global multipolarity, fighting for the identity of European Canadians, and how the discussion of the Great Replacement is being handled by academia.

Bobby Crimo active shooter Highland Park #BobbyCrimo #HighlandPolice #FBI #ATF #ActiveShooterThe 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. “A wig is not oThe twisted cover was designed to make it appear “almost as if he was an innocent spectator himself,'' Covelli said. “He wore that in an attempt to conceal himself.'' Crimo, an amateur rapper, immediately went to his mother's house nearby and used her car to flee the area, authorities said. He remained on the loose for hours after the mass shooting but was nabbed by police Monday night when a bystanders spotted his vehicle and alerted 911. Cops found another rifle in the suspect's car and more firearms in his apartment in nearby Highwood after he was eventually taken into custody, authorities said. out of the question,” Covelli said. Authorities said Crimo had purchased the weapons locally — and legally. Charges were expected to be filed against Crimo in connection to the massacre on Tuesday afternoon, police said. “We do believe Crimo pre-planned this attack for several weeks,” Covelli said, adding that investigators were still trying to determine a motive. “Investigators … have been in discussions with him. I don't have anything to say about motivation thus far because it hasn't been provided.” “We have no indication to suggest at this point that it was racially motivated, motivated by religion,” Covelli added.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times: Six people were killed and more than two dozen others wounded when a gunman started firing a high-powered rifle from a rooftop 10 minutes after the Highland Park Fourth of July parade kicked off Monday morning, authorities said.Authorities continued to hunt Monday afternoon for the shooter, and “the offender still has not been apprehended so far,” Christopher Covelli of the Lake County sheriff's office and the Lake County major crimes task force said at a news conference around 2:15 p.m., four hours after the shooting.The gunman used “a high-powered rifle,” Covelli said and fired from a rooftop “He was very discreet and very difficult to see.”He called the crime “very random, very intentional,” and he called it “a very sad day.”The FBI asked that anyone who had video of the shooting or possible information about the shooter call their toll-free tip line at (800) CALL-FBI.We also hear the speeches given at the ribbon cutting and official opening of the Thumb Open Space Project.
