Think about it, how quickly this family was able to get on the local news and being to control the narrative. The shooters father ran for mayor in their city, owned a chain of grocery stores and more so, this kid an his family had everything in life but because little white boi is bored the rest of us have to live in fear. This family had everything to provide this kid with world class mental health, most of these shooters come from well to do suburban families but become bored at their insulated safe lives and then go out and ruin it for the rest of us hard working average folks. These people were having a day off but it was ruined by a suburban kid that doesn’t know about real suffering and hard work.
The poor family didn't do this. Brave of the Uncle to be the family rep. You can tell he is terrified and devastated at the same time. I pray for everyone hurt today.
@@mattheww797 you and sunshine are disgusting excusing indifference to mentor youth. Its no wonder there's so many young criminals with your lackadaisical passive attitudes
There is ZERO Actual grief, on this guys face .. it's not that he's malice, it just didn't happen as it's being presented.. These are all actors/ puppets ...
His nephew did have a history and even his own family called the cops on him about a suicide attempt and another time for murder threats using his collection of knives. Several red flags that caught my attention in this interview: 1) the uncle lives with him, 2) the uncle says “everyone loves us”, 3) “if I did see signs, I would have said something”, 4) The uncle claims he never watched his work or saw his music videos, but says he’s a good artist. I mean come on, someone in your family as colorful and odd as this kid is and you live in proximity, but you don’t know anything about that person? It looks like the uncle is covering and maybe speaking for the dad too.
I absolutely hate when people give the family problems after one of their family members do something crazy. It wasn't them. Every single person is responsible for their own actions.
Interesting most people well white people in Amerikkka don’t believe that it goes like this: Muslim Shooter: Entire Religion Guilty Black Shooter: Entire Race Guilty White Shooter: Mentally Challenged Lone Wolf
No interaction with your nephew, that you shared a house with. I believe this guy is remorseful but this just shows how adults ignore children and young adults and have no idea what’s going on in their lives.
The cops had to confiscate his knives and a sword because he threatened his family with murder months before his dad signed off on his foid. The parents and family need to be deeply investigated
Yes, they are guilty and responsible for their son's actions. Unfortunately, there is no help for situations like this. At least they could limit his drug use unless they use them too?
His apology was very genuine, this man has nothing to do with it. I hope everyone is nice to the uncle, my condolences and prayers go to the families affected by that monster.
They may be family but you cannot control or know with certainty what other family members are thinking. I feel very sorry for this man and the rest of the family. Prayers for the injured as well as this family.
i think they need to raid the uncles home immediately, i wouldnt be surprised if he had someone trapped in a large pit in his living room with empty bottle of lotion all over the place
The uncle is in a state of shock over what his nephew did. I would be too if I were a close relative of the young man. Prayers for all the victims involved. 💗🙏
Unfortunately some of the things his uncle described about him were actually signs of a teen who needed help. The kid was known to the local police for problems.
I agree. A 22 year old who doesn't interact with his family and isolates at all even while living in the same house should be signs of at least depression. But we don't know the dynamics, just speculating. He seems at a loss for words.
@@gogogadget9126 you must be really twisted to think that just because they live in the same house he should know his nephew was going to kill people. people are good at keeping shit to themselves when it's normal to them, which tells me that if his nephew did this he's probably done it before or he's a sociopath. It's not this guys fault.
Listen & Listen Again I pray's to God to Stop The Killings, For Rain and it's Severe drought more than ever if I had 1,000 dollars for every prayers for The American Mass Shooter's Victims Families Police Shootings including several of my own heritage. I would be richer than Step and Russell Hell🩸
@@RR-zy5qm now you're a family counselor in addition to a Constitutional scholar and radical revolutionary! My my so much has happened with you in the past blink of an eye. Where were you before? Asleep? Don't bother the uncle. He didn't pull the trigger.
@@RR-zy5qm Um, no -- if you listened carefully, it was the UNCLE's father who passed away (i.e., the shooter's grandfather). The uncle's brother (the shooter's dad) lived with both the shooter (his son) and his brother (the man speaking) after the shooter's grandfather passed away.
Nephew threatened to kill his family and himself, police had been called out to their house a few times and uncle is now saying that he had NO IDEA? Bull!
This seems like a nice man. It sounds like his interaction with his nephew was minimal. Anyone would be shocked to learn a relative might be a mass murderer.
Minimal is a giant leap. The 22 year old didn't have a job. WTF would have been off my lips last year. There would have been interaction you can bet on that.
@@lawrenceleverton7426 thank u for the truth. Clearly u heard the type of questions the reporter asked. And u heard the responses the uncle gave. Clearly the males in their household held this young male to no account. I'm glad u said it.
Can see he's sincere. Very sad that he's having to deal with this. This is something that will haunt him in community for while. Especially since he's known in the community too. Cant repair the pain of the uncle.
I feel bad for the guy. It's no one else's fault but the shooter.... especially not the uncle's. It's not the uncle's responsibility over a grown 22yr old man. So many families never really know each other. Example: most bullies parents don't know their own kid and always swear up and down they are great kids who would do no harm...smh...this is not uncle's fault and I see his genuine hurt...just such a sad sad situation.
My kid is a "cool, quiet kid who sticks to himself." He's shy. I don't think that's always a red flag. My kid also talks to me all of the time about his problems he has. People are just different in a lot of ways. Now had you said something about this kid's social media or videos he was posting, I'd say yes, definitely a red flag. This is what parents miss the most. That is what people are too afraid to speak up about. This is also why I don't let my kid have social media and I regularly go through his gaming accounts. Had anyone spoke up sooner about those items, this may have been prevented
That was gut wrenching. Poor dude has to stand in front of the world and try to apologize for his nephew's dreadful deed. It's not your fault dude, no one blames you.
46 people wre shot and 9 died over memorial day weekend on the near south west side of Chicago, just 9 miles from highland Park, a wealthy white suburb,, why no media , why no family member interviews, why no breaking news ticker, .. more shot and more dead yet not a single national news report, .. Black on black crime is ignored by the media because it has no political value for the democrat party .. that's the tragedy
If my son (or nephew) had tattoo's all over his face, no job, and claimed he was a rapper (he averages 3k views, and who knows how many of those were people searching him after the shooting), I would be having a long talk to him about the direction his life is headed in. Sounds like he had zero guidance from any male role models in his life. Many people underestimate the value these days of young men (and women) having positive male role models in their life to help guide them. No it's not the uncle's fault exactly, but I'll bet him and the boy's father could have done more to take a more active role in his life. I only say this about the uncle because they lived at the same residence.
Nephew was basically a roommate. It's not this guy's fault. Hell with technology so prevalent in our lives, a lot of people don't even truly know their children in the room next to them.
@@mrarivv0007 That's not necessarily true. In some families parents can try to raise good kids and do so, but not every one of their kids follows the path of law-abiding citizenship.
The shooter has a history of emotional problems and an online presence indicating violent intentions. He was also known to law enforcement. This uncle is not being quite honest here.
Considering that the UNCLE lived with him and the guys own BROTHER, ( the shooters dad) let him use his GUN and GUN permit I doubt he's really " feeling " much of ANYTHING...HES A SLIMEBAG TO....
IDK. My nephew lived with me for a short spell , while he was going to school. He's a pretty good kid , he was quiet And stand offish, but whenever any issues came up , I addressed them with him. I kept an eye on what he was up to. But , having the face all tattooed up is in my mind a sign of something not right.
Agreed. I watch my nieces and especially my nephew like a hawk. I’m the cool aunt they can talk to about anything and if I see any odd behavior, I make sure to talk to them and help them however I can. And you better believe I will see red flags if my nephew got his face tattooed and didn’t work or go to school.
I feel bad for him but one thing that must be highlighted is “WE DONT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP”. As parents or older figures you MUST be involved in your kids
Exactly. This malady of "mass shooters" is one of the byproduct of a lonely post industrial alienating society with the additional dysfunction of easy access to high capacity firearms.
I think the family needs to be investigated but this guy is his uncle, you don't need to be involved with kids that aren't yours. This is a fucking stupid comment to make
@@rypaulie1475 Efforts MAY have been made (perhaps several times) and perhaps the nephew didn't WANT to hear anything about changing his behaviour...no talks about reforming, healing, facing/sitting with his pain/anger, therefore NO RELATING with him was allowed/possible.
the kid being completely withdrawn and barely having a relationship with an uncle he lives with is kind of a warning sign in itself. not that I blame the guy, it's hard to expect people to recognize signs of mental illness/unwellness when mental health is swept under the rug.
@@Statestreetradio another snowflake white boy pissed that he didn't get handed generational wealth so he takes it out on minorities. Is that gonna be you next?
My thoughts and prayers to all those effected! I just lost my dad to a long illness. I know what there going threw. This uncle is a stand up guy! My heart goes out to him!

The uncle is so shock and devastated. Probably heartbroken as well. His nephew is an adult and only his nephew is responsible for what he did. Not him (the uncle) nor anyone else.
The uncle shouldn't be blamed. But I think the family needs to take a share of the blame. Making kids is easiest thing, but raising them is hard. Family aren't doing a good enough job at raising kids nowadays. I personally blame a degradation of social norms and standards. It's not a government problem, it's a community problem.
@@gregtennessee8249 Exactly. His dad said he wasn't "grooming" him. His son told him everything except his belief in accelerationism and they're both so crazy there's no point in further analysis. His uncle sounds reasonable but I bet I'm wrong.
I feel bad for this uncle! I really do! Unfortunately, even if there were signs, nobody takes it seriously! It’s either the family that ignores ‘signs’ or law enforcement that ignores it. Such a tragedy
I agree. Unfortunately these days in particular many are still deciding to for whatever reason (being personally overwhelmed by life circumstances etc.) to not seek some kind of mental health counseling or just talking to someone. Doesn’t help that it’s easier to purchase a gun (or two in his nephews case) than to get psychological assistance when you are under duress.
This is a Deep State terrorist attack. 🤫 Anyone can be framed using social media. This man seems credible. Do you notice how some shootings they don't interview family members?
Many young men (read up on it) who are mass killers of this age - do NOT speak about their feelings. It's epidemic. I'm in no way defending the kid. But I find it highly unlikely that they "ignored signs." He was 22 - not 12.
@@t4t359 He also had rap videos with mass shootings in it. And the uncle knew about his rap music! I think this uncle is lying about not knowing about the clues, and he's going on these interviews to save face.
No warning signs? The fact that he had to be home schooled so he wouldnt have to participate in therapy isn’t a warning sign? Could it be that there were plenty of warning signs but family rationalized and explained everything away to protect the kid, or because they didnt want to see the signs?
Anyone who noticed the BLM terrorist who ran over women and little girls in Wisconsin with an SUV would know that parades are dangerous That was a warning sign that was ignored too
By speaking up, Mr. Crimo gives some comfort to the Highland Park community and the families of the lost and injured. It was brave of him to share his condolences. 😔🙏😔
How can you say that when he hardly knew his own nephew, who was not living very far? If he took the kid on a trip, a ballgame, fishing, ANYTHING...he could've prevented this tragedy.
Wow... that's just idiotic. Seems like a good man? He just said his nephew seemed like a good person (face and neck tattoos and all) and he ACTUALLY KNEW his nephew. Your'e making requests to you god for special favors? Didn't know it took requests. Hmmm. Were was you god when the innocent people were being mowed down? What's your regurgitated answer to that? "Mysterious ways"?? Grow up.
i want you to understand that the most important takeaway from this interview ...is that even with family members in his own house his ONLY exchange with them is "...hi" and "bye..."
Wait wait wait... I heard on another report he had a history of trying to harm his family and later himself and was taken to a hospital for treatment and at some point police had confiscated weapons from his home.. how could the uncle not know any of this?
I feel that this man is on the spectrum. He is trying to process this horrible situation the best he can. Let’s all give him Grace . Props to him for stepping up and doing this interview. Says a lot about his character.
That's how nasty the news is, they won't let people have peace in a time of horror and mental processing. The media is the devil, and I'm sure you all are filled with devil types in Chicago, it's one of the main satanic hubs within our country.
*Why is that your feeling; simply because he's **_stuttering?_* 🙄 *He seems like a very normal guy who is still very much in shock about the devastating news that his nephew-- with whom he lived, to boot-- is responsible for such a tragedy. Your comment reads as a bizarre assumption.* 🤨 *Every comment I've read is gracious, gives him respect, and honors what he has said and done in this video. Ironically (given your intent), your comment is the sole one I see that questions anything about him.*

@@rainonme3770 I'm terribly sorry but you really need to do some soul searching if you think there is something wrong with the comment. Until you learn to have compassion and not be so judgmental you will not be a good human being.
i was crossing my fingers that he wasnt going to say "No comment, please get off my lawn" or "Hey, we don't know the whole story, he might be innocent". But he is apologizing and reaching out, good for him... But the uncle seems curiously detached 1:39, and knows little about Robert.. umm hmm
Leave this poor man alone. They know they shouldn't have invaded his home for a story. He's obviously distraught, and can barely speak. 100% not his fault.
@Candice Elizabeth ? Lol, failed? How did they fail. He was just living with them. The kid has a mother, and father. Sounds like you're trying to use the old fashioned bad parenting excuse, but pinning it on the uncle and brother because he currently lives with them.
Being suicidal isn't a warning sign? His family knew about that. Why would any parent in that state sign for their child in order to get a Firearms Owners Identification card when they knew he had problems?
A very human heart felt reaction, response. Any time, anything such as this occurs it is tragic for the people involved if they have a heart to feel something. May any of those impacted, find inner strength and peace through GOD's love.
I can tell he is in shock and upset. How else would someone react? Three guys in a house could very easily be much like he said. Everyone just goes about their business in that sort of arrangement. You say hi and bye and occasionally do some house chores together. Sometimes guys don't communicate much.
A loved one was involved in a fatal car accident and I found myself in this man's shoes. I can feel his pain. It's shocking to have to stand before the public on television and try to make sense of what happened. He's deeply sorry for what happened
Sir, I don't know if you will read this, but if you do, I hope it brings you some comfort. It was not your fault, not your crime. If your nephew was responsible for this, it was not your doing. It seems he either took pains not to let anyone know his plans, or he acted on a dark impulse. You are not to blame, nor is anyone else in the family. My brother killed himself in 2000. We found in his belongings a plan to climb to the highest tower in town and kill as many people as possible. It is our belief that he found some sanity at the last moment and killed himself rather than kill a bunch of people. It was a very hard fight, it appears. We were aware of neither his desire to kill others, nor his plans to kill himself, even though we talked to him daily. He was very adept at hiding things, it seems. Mental health care is tricky, and when someone doesn't want to admit they need help, it is impossible. Please don't blame yourself, unless you personally knew of his plans and ignored them.
I am so very sorry for your loss! Sadly mental health issues can be hidden for years from the people so close to the troubled individual. My prayers are with you, and also with the victims of this latest tragedy, and also with the family of the shooter....and yes. Even with the shooter himself! Only God knows what drove him to such horrific extremes! Our earthly legal system will do it's work for earthly justice, but in the end only God will have the final say!
This is the problem the disconnect and lack of communication in families, you lived with your nephew and clearly were not all that close. These kids are isolated and believe what they read on internet
Yea, I mean its not like his nephew has been posting videos online depicting mass shootings and literally say he needs to carry one out for years or anything....who knew?!
@@michaelbell75 he did say he never saw any of his nephew's videos. I will say tho, there has to be some sort of negligence by the police to not investigate this kid further when they had been informed of these videos. I know there's no possible way to charge someone for a crime before the act is committed, but there should've been restrictions to not allow someone like that to purchase a firearm legally.
Atleast he had the guts and the courtesy to apologize, even though he probably had no hand in anything. That takes stones, my friends! My condolences to those who lost their lives, in this tragic event!
Exactly! I wonder if his Trump mega republican supporting and big gun advocate father Will speak out. Oh wait actually they called him for a comment and he just hung up.
@@princessdoodlebugs that has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's character. Guns don't pull their own triggers and commit mass murderers. Evil, sick and mentally ill pull them. At least Trump loves this country and did everything he said he would do unlike the unfit dummy that can't put a sentence together without screwing it up. He and his worthless sidekick have the country in shambles. But hey, blame Trump and blame the gun 🤦
The house where the shooter, his father, and his uncle currently live was actively going under mortgage foreclosure about a week ago. It makes me wonder if that was a tipping point, e.g. the three of them were about to lose the home that they lived in and that originally belonged to the father's/uncle's father.
The shooter's father ran on a platform that was anti-regulation saying they were hamperkng small businesses. The father lost that political race but hearing you father say that the government is ghe cause of your business failing (while ignoring all the businesses that *aren't failing*) may have olayed a role.
@Chris Three grown couldn't pay for a home that was inherited? Yes bums is correct. The kid looks odd, something is off with his facial features. His eyes are to far apart.
"Everybody loves us" Who says that? That's the 1st red flag of a cover up. This man knew in 2019 his nephew tried to commit suicide, even threaten to kill his entire family. The cops were called and confiscated a bunch of knives. He could see no signs? Who's he fooling? Who believes that? All that stuttering - he is s trying really hard to cover his family reputation. Family knew what son was capable of doing, they are complicit! Question is, did he CARE ENOUGH to notice the kid was a nutcase and seek responsible action? Where does responsibility begin and end is the question. The family, long term, ignored what was obvious. They failed their community, big time!
This child looked disturb from his picture.We have to become sensitive what is going on with our love ones. Family members that live in the same house with us who are distant and with drawn from social interaction with families are the first sign. RIP to those who lost their lives. Sending love and peace to the family members who lost love ones.
Thats true to an extent but boys that age are almost all distant and withdrawn at least in the family environment. Im worried for all the kids after all the corruption and unaccountability that became apparent through the pandemic and the use of it to push their great reset shit show. The harm caused by disrupting their educations with a fear based attack on our cicil rights has left so many in bad mental states with nothing to look forward to. All they see is negativity at every angle and political blame wars using the kids gor their politics.
How long ago did the police reports that were found about this kid threatening his family, and saying he wanted to commit suicide? If that isn't a huge Fxxking warning I don't know what the hell is. Instead they help him purchase weapons that kill in mass, go figure!
Kittens Henderson. Another case of using a kid as a scapegoat. There's a Witness here that said there were shooters on the ground and the reporter badgered her for saying it: ruclips.net/video/x62AtAbo0fE/видео.html
@@happyface9000 By age 12 you have reached the age of accountability. As stated this little demon is going to riot in jail. He is a danger to himself, his family and the general populace. They reported he threatened to kill himself and all of his family. They knew he was a demon because he came from them. They were concerned about their safety but not everyone else's. Long as he weren't threatening to kill them they just tip-toe around him. Allowing him to be distant and anti-social. Sound like they were scared of this boy.
That's the problem you living in the same house and don't even know what's up and how would you see signs of trouble if you ain't really involved in kids day to day life. That's why this shit keeps happening it starts at home not the gun store
I feel for all involved, this is devastating my condolences to all the families and to the shooter’s family we don’t hold you accountable for this your nephew is his own person
The shooter's father helped get him a FOID card after he threatened to kill his family. This family is messed up. I don't buy what this uncle is selling. Threatening to kill your family is a big sign.
@Dr Suldaan Al-Amudi you got some anger dude. You can raise a kid to be the best person possible, but they can still turn out bad. It happens. I've seen it.
In a strange way, this reminds me of a friend of mine who took his own life several years ago. None of us saw it coming. One day his mom went out to the garage to do some laundry and there he was, hanging in the corner. No warning. No indication. Nothing. I still get goosebumps whenever I recall that day...
I had a buddy that did the same. His mother found him in the garage in the morning I believe. He lived a block or so away from me. Happened several years ago as well. He seamed to be always happy as ever out in public. Was a shock to everyone
This poor man needs to be left to process his grief and be among his family, who are all undoubtedly hurting just as much. I realize people are curious and journalists can be opportunistic, but interviewing people on live television while they're in shock is exploitation, and deeply unethical. My heart goes out to this family as well as the families of the victims, they were all hurt by this young man's despicable actions.
He needs to be prosecuted too he just acts this way so he stays safe bet this guy introduced that kids to gun violence thru games and paint ball fights
This is so sad.....I feel for his uncle..The shock the family must be going through..Nobody really wants to believe someone they know yet a family member is capable of such an evil act..You can know someone your whole life but not really know them..SMH
My condolences to the family members who lost their loved ones and to the victims injured… Love from India 🇮🇳 …. Hope the higher authorities caught the right person and justice be served
Well do to the fact there is enough guns to give everyone on India and America a gun currently in the United States....we can only pray 🙏 for safety every night before bed.
Well that's the problem. As an uncle, especially if the kid doesn't have a father that is there, should be involved with the nephew. He knew he was a rapper but never heard or saw his music? What an a hole. You need to be involved with family members that come of as the loner quiet type. How many damn stories have we heard of someone snapping and hearing interviews of neighbors or family members saying, "he was quiet, kept to himself, never imagined" etc. It's become predictable as af.

That family has been entrenched in that community well over 100 years.. Abd everything shattered in a single moment.. I feel just terrible for this gentleman and his family..
Someone mentioned the house was in foreclosure. This looks like a response to gentrification. Has an outside element TAKEN OVER the town? Are the townies being disposed of in the town their ancestors built? Who were the parade-goers? Were they mostly new arrivals, taking over the town's tradition? Somebody knows why, someone always knows.
This poor man. Leave him alone. Their family will have to carry the burden that his nephew brought upon them for the rest of their lives. Give them some time to process. His nephew's deplorable actions affect his family as well as the families of the victims. My heart is with this whole community. Something has got to change.
Who cares about that family, there are 6 dead and countless injured their lives are ruin forever these are the folks we gave to worry about, because that dam savage decide to murder them

Most of the time the family had no idea their family member is unhinged.
There is ZERO Actual grief, on this guys face .. it's not that he's malice, it just didn't happen as it's being presented.. These are all actors/ puppets ...
His nephew did have a history and even his own family called the cops on him about a suicide attempt and another time for murder threats using his collection of knives. Several red flags that caught my attention in this interview: 1) the uncle lives with him, 2) the uncle says “everyone loves us”, 3) “if I did see signs, I would have said something”, 4) The uncle claims he never watched his work or saw his music videos, but says he’s a good artist.
I mean come on, someone in your family as colorful and odd as this kid is and you live in proximity, but you don’t know anything about that person? It looks like the uncle is covering and maybe speaking for the dad too.
Agree. I found this interview to be a bit off. Maybe the uncle is mentally disabled. Or he is the designated family clean up man.
Anyone who attempts suicide should be tracked and never allowed to own a firearm period.

I feel bad for the guy. It's no one else's fault but the shooter.... especially not the uncle's. It's not the uncle's responsibility over a grown 22yr old man. So many families never really know each other. Example: most bullies parents don't know their own kid and always swear up and down they are great kids who would do no harm...smh...this is not uncle's fault and I see his genuine hurt...just such a sad sad situation.
@@LaFlacs in a way it kinda is his responsibility if he is letting him stay at his place no matter what age
Everything he said is a red flag to me
"He's a cool, quiet kid, sticks to himself" Big Red flag
He only says hi and bye. That's cold and selfish 🥺
All he needed to do was to talk to the nut's parents. He needed professional help. And if that didn't work, killin'.
The bigger red flag was not seeing the kids music videos.
Or, the person has social phobia or something similar…
My kid is a "cool, quiet kid who sticks to himself." He's shy. I don't think that's always a red flag. My kid also talks to me all of the time about his problems he has. People are just different in a lot of ways. Now had you said something about this kid's social media or videos he was posting, I'd say yes, definitely a red flag. This is what parents miss the most. That is what people are too afraid to speak up about. This is also why I don't let my kid have social media and I regularly go through his gaming accounts. Had anyone spoke up sooner about those items, this may have been prevented
That was gut wrenching. Poor dude has to stand in front of the world and try to apologize for his nephew's dreadful deed.
It's not your fault dude, no one blames you.
46 people wre shot and 9 died over memorial day weekend on the near south west side of Chicago, just 9 miles from highland Park, a wealthy white suburb,, why no media , why no family member interviews, why no breaking news ticker, .. more shot and more dead yet not a single national news report, ..
Black on black crime is ignored by the media because it has no political value for the democrat party .. that's the tragedy
If my son (or nephew) had tattoo's all over his face, no job, and claimed he was a rapper (he averages 3k views, and who knows how many of those were people searching him after the shooting), I would be having a long talk to him about the direction his life is headed in. Sounds like he had zero guidance from any male role models in his life. Many people underestimate the value these days of young men (and women) having positive male role models in their life to help guide them. No it's not the uncle's fault exactly, but I'll bet him and the boy's father could have done more to take a more active role in his life. I only say this about the uncle because they lived at the same residence.
I blame the government for allowing people to carry guns
This excuse never works if it is an Islamist terrorist.

They are well known in that community. Once the name and photo of the shooter was released, there really was no hiding.
Uncle knew about his rap videos where there are mass shootings and he now says he had no clue. He's saving face.
I feel bad for him but one thing that must be highlighted is “WE DONT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP”. As parents or older figures you MUST be involved in your kids

@@rypaulie1475 Efforts MAY have been made (perhaps several times) and perhaps the nephew didn't WANT to hear anything about changing his behaviour...no talks about reforming, healing, facing/sitting with his pain/anger, therefore NO RELATING with him was allowed/possible.
the kid being completely withdrawn and barely having a relationship with an uncle he lives with is kind of a warning sign in itself. not that I blame the guy, it's hard to expect people to recognize signs of mental illness/unwellness when mental health is swept under the rug.

I agree. Unfortunately these days in particular many are still deciding to for whatever reason (being personally overwhelmed by life circumstances etc.) to not seek some kind of mental health counseling or just talking to someone. Doesn’t help that it’s easier to purchase a gun (or two in his nephews case) than to get psychological assistance when you are under duress.

Many young men (read up on it) who are mass killers of this age - do NOT speak about their feelings. It's epidemic. I'm in no way defending the kid. But I find it highly unlikely that they "ignored signs." He was 22 - not 12.

@V. P. N Fair enough.
I can tell he is in shock and upset. How else would someone react? Three guys in a house could very easily be much like he said. Everyone just goes about their business in that sort of arrangement. You say hi and bye and occasionally do some house chores together. Sometimes guys don't communicate much.
Now we know the uncle is lying. Crimo had a suicide attempt and he threatened to kill family members.
A loved one was involved in a fatal car accident and I found myself in this man's shoes. I can feel his pain. It's shocking to have to stand before the public on television and try to make sense of what happened. He's deeply sorry for what happened
Sir, I don't know if you will read this, but if you do, I hope it brings you some comfort. It was not your fault, not your crime. If your nephew was responsible for this, it was not your doing. It seems he either took pains not to let anyone know his plans, or he acted on a dark impulse. You are not to blame, nor is anyone else in the family. My brother killed himself in 2000. We found in his belongings a plan to climb to the highest tower in town and kill as many people as possible. It is our belief that he found some sanity at the last moment and killed himself rather than kill a bunch of people. It was a very hard fight, it appears. We were aware of neither his desire to kill others, nor his plans to kill himself, even though we talked to him daily. He was very adept at hiding things, it seems. Mental health care is tricky, and when someone doesn't want to admit they need help, it is impossible. Please don't blame yourself, unless you personally knew of his plans and ignored them.
I am so very sorry for your loss! Sadly mental health issues can be hidden for years from the people so close to the troubled individual. My prayers are with you, and also with the victims of this latest tragedy, and also with the family of the shooter....and yes. Even with the shooter himself! Only God knows what drove him to such horrific extremes! Our earthly legal system will do it's work for earthly justice, but in the end only God will have the final say!
Well said.
Amen! ✝
This is the problem the disconnect and lack of communication in families, you lived with your nephew and clearly were not all that close. These kids are isolated and believe what they read on internet
Praying for the uncle and everyone who was hurt this is heart breaking. He seems to be in shock
He’s in shock. He seems as surprised as the rest of us. I feel bad for the family. Sending my deepest condolences to the victims families.
Yea, I mean its not like his nephew has been posting videos online depicting mass shootings and literally say he needs to carry one out for years or anything....who knew?!
@@michaelbell75 he did say he never saw any of his nephew's videos.
I will say tho, there has to be some sort of negligence by the police to not investigate this kid further when they had been informed of these videos.
I know there's no possible way to charge someone for a crime before the act is committed, but there should've been restrictions to not allow someone like that to purchase a firearm legally.
Don’t they are all extremist MAGAts
@@ReadIcculus93 kid was a MAGAt so is his whole family
@@ReadIcculus93 fucking bull 🐂💩 the BLM ghettos rap he practiced and no one heard the shit lyrics ?
Atleast he had the guts and the courtesy to apologize, even though he probably had no hand in anything. That takes stones, my friends! My condolences to those who lost their lives, in this tragic event!
Exactly! I wonder if his Trump mega republican supporting and big gun advocate father Will speak out. Oh wait actually they called him for a comment and he just hung up.
I agree; at least he apologized. We are still waiting on the Buffalo shooters family to make a statement and apologize for their son's actions!
He was trying to get ahead of the story before the community discovers just how much of a negligent piece of shit he is
@@princessdoodlebugs that has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's character. Guns don't pull their own triggers and commit mass murderers. Evil, sick and mentally ill pull them. At least Trump loves this country and did everything he said he would do unlike the unfit dummy that can't put a sentence together without screwing it up. He and his worthless sidekick have the country in shambles. But hey, blame Trump and blame the gun 🤦
Yes, that apology helped so so much??? WTF is wrong with you people.
The house where the shooter, his father, and his uncle currently live was actively going under mortgage foreclosure about a week ago. It makes me wonder if that was a tipping point, e.g. the three of them were about to lose the home that they lived in and that originally belonged to the father's/uncle's father.
U should help pay their mortgage
The shooter's father ran on a platform that was anti-regulation saying they were hamperkng small businesses. The father lost that political race but hearing you father say that the government is ghe cause of your business failing (while ignoring all the businesses that *aren't failing*) may have olayed a role.
Which means what??? ...
@Chris that's not the correct definition of a bum, Chris
@Chris Three grown couldn't pay for a home that was inherited?
Yes bums is correct.
The kid looks odd, something is off with his facial features.
His eyes are to far apart.
"Everybody loves us" Who says that? That's the 1st red flag of a cover up. This man knew in 2019 his nephew tried to commit suicide, even threaten to kill his entire family. The cops were called and confiscated a bunch of knives. He could see no signs? Who's he fooling? Who believes that? All that stuttering - he is s trying really hard to cover his family reputation. Family knew what son was capable of doing, they are complicit! Question is, did he CARE ENOUGH to notice the kid was a nutcase and seek responsible action? Where does responsibility begin and end is the question. The family, long term, ignored what was obvious. They failed their community, big time!
This child looked disturb from his picture.We have to become sensitive what is going on with our love ones. Family members that live in the same house with us who are distant and with drawn from social interaction with families are the first sign. RIP to those who lost their lives. Sending love and peace to the family members who lost love ones.
Thats true to an extent but boys that age are almost all distant and withdrawn at least in the family environment. Im worried for all the kids after all the corruption and unaccountability that became apparent through the pandemic and the use of it to push their great reset shit show. The harm caused by disrupting their educations with a fear based attack on our cicil rights has left so many in bad mental states with nothing to look forward to. All they see is negativity at every angle and political blame wars using the kids gor their politics.
How long ago did the police reports that were found about this kid threatening his family, and saying he wanted to commit suicide? If that isn't a huge Fxxking warning I don't know what the hell is. Instead they help him purchase weapons that kill in mass, go figure!
Being sensitive was the problem
Kittens Henderson. Another case of using a kid as a scapegoat. There's a Witness here that said there were shooters on the ground and the reporter badgered her for saying it:

@@happyface9000 By age 12 you have reached the age of accountability. As stated this little demon is going to riot in jail. He is a danger to himself, his family and the general populace. They reported he threatened to kill himself and all of his family. They knew he was a demon because he came from them. They were concerned about their safety but not everyone else's. Long as he weren't threatening to kill them they just tip-toe around him. Allowing him to be distant and anti-social. Sound like they were scared of this boy.
I know his heavy heart, my dad was a serial killer, it weights on my heart like nothing else.
Wow, but it still is something you couldn't control.
omg im so sorry ! I couldnt imagine going through something like this. You must be a very strong person! Try to keep your head up
🙏🏿
Oh wow 🖖l
Who was ur dad?
LOOKS LIKE HE'S STILL TRYING TO PROCESS EVERYTHING. PEACE AND PRAYERS TO ALL THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS HORRIBLE ACT. 🙏❤️🙏
Amen 🙏
That's the problem you living in the same house and don't even know what's up and how would you see signs of trouble if you ain't really involved in kids day to day life. That's why this shit keeps happening it starts at home not the gun store
You can look at Bobby and tell he had problems. so TO not know he was not troubled, is unbelievable.
VERY! No teeth, face tats??????!!!!!! WtF!
@@tw4943 I had a boss with a full neck tattoo finishing his second PhD. You’re a m0r0n.
That's an outside the box perspective. If you had seen weird every day for years, it wouldn't seem weird.
Pure speculation
No teeth? Judge him for real reasons. Do you know how expensive dental care is? I have teeth broken apart and can’t afford to fix them. Mercia.
I feel for all involved, this is devastating my condolences to all the families and to the shooter’s family we don’t hold you accountable for this your nephew is his own person
The shooter's father helped get him a FOID card after he threatened to kill his family. This family is messed up. I don't buy what this uncle is selling. Threatening to kill your family is a big sign.
Thank god, Bobby III was a Trump fan, or else this poor boy and his uncle would have been lynched.
I agree with you. It's not fair to label the whole family as evil or responsible. We cannot always predict what someone will do
@Dr Suldaan Al-Amudi you got some anger dude. You can raise a kid to be the best person possible, but they can still turn out bad. It happens. I've seen it.
@@uhavetobekiddingme8932 Yeah, thoughts and prayers will do.
In a strange way, this reminds me of a friend of mine who took his own life several years ago. None of us saw it coming. One day his mom went out to the garage to do some laundry and there he was, hanging in the corner. No warning. No indication. Nothing. I still get goosebumps whenever I recall that day...
Most people suffer in silence to not be a burden. I'm very sorry for your loss.
I had a buddy that did the same. His mother found him in the garage in the morning I believe. He lived a block or so away from me. Happened several years ago as well. He seamed to be always happy as ever out in public. Was a shock to everyone
How can you live with someone and never communicate with them? I find this to be very strange.
He was probably told that his uncle was an evil man, just for being a man.
@@mikemiller551 I don’t know but I do find it very strange.
This poor man needs to be left to process his grief and be among his family, who are all undoubtedly hurting just as much. I realize people are curious and journalists can be opportunistic, but interviewing people on live television while they're in shock is exploitation, and deeply unethical. My heart goes out to this family as well as the families of the victims, they were all hurt by this young man's despicable actions.
Journalists are heartless.
"It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry..."
@Blood on the tracks Dylan - I have alerted the Federal Bureau of Investigation of your statement and provided them with a link directing them here.
He needs to be prosecuted too he just acts this way so he stays safe bet this guy introduced that kids to gun violence thru games and paint ball fights
This is so sad.....I feel for his uncle..The shock the family must be going through..Nobody really wants to believe someone they know yet a family member is capable of such an evil act..You can know someone your whole life but not really know them..SMH
I agree
Crisis actor.
That's you in your profile picture
Poor guy is shattered, at a loss for the right words but trying to be as helpful as possible.
Poor dude he doesn’t need to apologise for someone else’s mistakes
Sad for his relatives also. A tragedy all the way around. Condolences to all family members of the ones left behind. So heartbreaking
So brave and generous of his uncle to want to share so much personal information. Bless this man. 🐾
My condolences to the family members who lost their loved ones and to the victims injured… Love from India 🇮🇳 …. Hope the higher authorities caught the right person and justice be served
Well do to the fact there is enough guns to give everyone on India and America a gun currently in the United States....we can only pray 🙏 for safety every night before bed.
Thank you, from Illinois, to India 🇮🇳
Well that's the problem. As an uncle, especially if the kid doesn't have a father that is there, should be involved with the nephew. He knew he was a rapper but never heard or saw his music? What an a hole. You need to be involved with family members that come of as the loner quiet type. How many damn stories have we heard of someone snapping and hearing interviews of neighbors or family members saying, "he was quiet, kept to himself, never imagined" etc. It's become predictable as af.
I would be trying to distance myself from my nephew too if I was in his situation
Yea thats for sure.. didnt sound to good when he mentioned they live together but dont know each other like that..
He's probably trying to protect his brother.
@@needdemdogz3 The uncle said the kid had his own studio apartment in the back. I've had roommates, and shared a house, but we had separate lives. Nothing to see here.
he lived with him, was a family member, and his career was rap - but he never watched one of his videos?
i find that suspicious. either he hated the kid, or is covering his ass.
@@alicewright4322 I agree I have had to sit and watch this stuff myself. Even as just a sign of saying I care. Someone who posts videos would want more views. And would seek some form of acknowledgement from their family and friends. SUSPICIOUS.
Right when the name was shared I googled the name.. This guy’s grandfather was born in Highland Park in 1929, to parents that lived their whole lives there.. That family has been entrenched in that community well over 100 years.. Abd everything shattered in a single moment..
I feel just terrible for this gentleman and his family..
This is sad…. I truly hope and pray that the community doesn’t try to abandon him and his family….
Someone mentioned the house was in foreclosure. This looks like a response to gentrification. Has an outside element TAKEN OVER the town? Are the townies being disposed of in the town their ancestors built? Who were the parade-goers? Were they mostly new arrivals, taking over the town's tradition? Somebody knows why, someone always knows.
My prayers go out to this genuine kind hearted man! And of course the families. 🙏🏽
hes lying hes guilty as sin
I am sorry you are going through this as well it’s not your fault
How could anyone look at that young guy and not see he had a problem. 😮
OMG, poor guy, he's gotta be in shock. Sick world we live in today 😪
This poor man. Leave him alone. Their family will have to carry the burden that his nephew brought upon them for the rest of their lives. Give them some time to process. His nephew's deplorable actions affect his family as well as the families of the victims. My heart is with this whole community. Something has got to change.
Brilliant words. Totally. Respect to you.
Who cares about that family, there are 6 dead and countless injured their lives are ruin forever these are the folks we gave to worry about, because that dam savage decide to murder them
Uncle, "I see at times..."
Wtf?
Notice how disconnected from his nephew's life he is. Imagine, your own uncle and you live in the same house and the depth of your relationship is as anonymous as neighbors.
American culture
@@Silvinhalv Not upper middle class and professional families. In my family we are very involved in each other's life . I promise none of us aspired to be rappers on RUclips w cheesy face tattoos. Traditional Americans , my family and friends, are very supportive of each other. That kids entire vibe was a red flag! But don't call this American culture.....
@@Silvinhalv crappy family, not American culture
@@richmrstonestone lol "proffessional families"? 🤔
Oh, rly. The uncle has nothing to do with it. The father indeed has.
