[@scarpfish]

Do you gun nuts have to make every crime story about your penile little hobby?

[@rubenbustamante1828]

In illinois its illegal to defend yourself .

@@rubenbustamante1828 What planet are you on???? I live in Illinois and am a gun owner....You absolutely can use a gun to stop this maniac to save your neighbors or your own life!!!!!!! Get a clue!!!!!!

[@tmzebra]

@@darlagay2731read your state gun laws and stay safe. Don’t use force unless you’re under attack. Or your at fault.

[@barbaranymiel3089]

So he remembers everything he did but blames it on pot so why didn't he stop himself from killing all those people?

[@lenarae3845]

Twenty-minute report with no information about Christian Soto's background. This is what most, in all the reports on this, are asking about.

[@chyr1955]

Cause he’s illegal. They think we are stupid

[@eyesthatsmile-heartthatlov8050]

[@williamkirby8092]

@@eyesthatsmile-heartthatlov8050 How do you know this?

[@emmas1082]

They don’t know anything about him because he is unvetted, no history, and undocumented.

[@detwalker7874]

tell us soto's background!!!

[@emmas1082]

Probably doesn’t have one…probably illegal.

[@JoeGator23]

Skip to 6:00, it starts there...

[@davidmotyka2708]

He is guilty so when will he be released?

[@nimuzdo3114]

What time did they arrive. They took a long time to arrive. There response time sucks. They could have stoping him if they would have responded to the 1st call.

[@sandiecox8760]

So will that charge be a Federal crme??

[@iamthatmom7456]

This is so sad! Praying for those victims and families. Sincerely. Where's the NKA (National Knife Association)? These knives commit more crimes... Ban assault knives.

[@mattemmerson5877]

He has lived in the area for at least 2 years according to some reports, but no info about him before 2022.

First the teen stab in Walmart during his shift was pronounced dead Sunday in Rockford now this

[@user-kl5pt4qn4y]

Illegal?

[@extraordinaryiam6265]

He is a US citizen born in Rockford IL from US citizen parents

[@Partymarty0088]

Terribly sad. What kind of drugs would make someone do this? Someone else asked does no one own guns around that neighborhood. Good question.

[@mrlaw711]

here is another official (state's attorney J. Hanley) no one would know any better than the killer were it not for the killer.

[@user-ot6dx7fc8z]

I think federal charges should be made for the murder of jay larson a federal employee

[@Glenna10]

This does not even sound like a American crime. American criminals don’t go after mailmen etc…? These crimes sound foreign imo.

[@scarpfish]

Except mail carriers are attacked all the time, often for the master keys to the collection boxes.

[@antihero5203]

Tell us where he was on 1/6/21. It’s a big part of the puzzle.

[@barbaranymiel3089]

You mean the blm riots?

[@scarpfish]

No, it isn't.

[@boojieveteran8445]

Ban assault knifes 😀
