The 21-year-old suspected of killing six people and injuring dozens more at the Fourth of July parade seems to have warned of the serious event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He posted a video showing the location of the attack before the mass shooting, according to Sky News.<\/p>\n

Robert E Crimo III, 21, was arrested by police hours after he fired into the crowd during the festivities in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.<\/p>\n

Accounts appearing to belong to Crimo had violent and bizarre online videos, including violently drawn animations.<\/p>\n

The video showing Central Avenue, where the shooting took place, was filmed almost a year before the attack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The street where the shooting took place was filmed and uploaded by Crimo before the attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It appears to have been filmed early in the morning and shows the street empty except for American flags fluttering in the wind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This drawing appears in one of Crimo’s music videos. It shows him in a pool of blood after being shot by the police<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Crimo edited it into a longer video that shows him smoking while looking at an American flag at half-staff over a memorial.<\/p>\n

In the video, he is carrying a backpack. These bags have been installed in some US schools in an effort to combat serious school incidents, as they make it more difficult to conceal a gun.<\/p>\n

The song Spirit in the Sky accompanies the video and begins with the lyrics \u201cWhen I die and they lay me to push\/ Gonna go to the place that’s the best.”\/ “When I die and they lay me to rest I will go to the best place.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“My actions will be bold”<\/strong><\/p>\n

A second video, uploaded in October of last year, combines a number of videos into one.<\/p>\n

In a booming voice he says: I am breaking through\u2026 my actions will be bold and my thinking is unnecessary. I know what I have to do.”<\/p>\n

In the background is a newspaper clipping on the wall marking the death of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot US President John F Kennedy in 1963.<\/p>\n

Oswald fired on the presidential parade while hiding on the sixth floor of a building.<\/p>\n

Crimo’s reference to the assassin of the former president appears to be part of a broader interest in presidents and patriotism.<\/p>\n

He uploaded a video of himself in 2020 waiting for Donald Trump to leave Air Force One and captured the moment the then-president drove by.<\/p>\n

There is also a photo of him attending a rally for former President Trump. American flags appear in many of his videos.<\/p>\n

Crimo is a rapper and in one of his music videos he holds an American flag behind him after commenting on school shootings.<\/p>\n

Another video uploaded in 2020 contains a comment about “enemies in the US”.<\/p>\n

In it, Crimo films himself looking up and close to the camera during a remix of people talking and music.<\/p>\n

At the end, he suddenly blinks repeatedly as the recording asks “who do you see as the enemies of freedom in the US?”<\/p>\n

“The rich archive of Robert Crimos”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This content uploaded by Crimo was easily found despite social media platforms taking swift action to take down his accounts.<\/p>\n

He seems to have deliberately created an archive of content that would be simple to find with basic internet search skills.<\/p>\n

Crimo used the stage name “Wake Up”. He made many accounts under his various names and created at least two blogs that indexed his content.<\/p>\n

A specific YouTube account was also created under a third name.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the end of an 18-minute long video, in which he builds a cabin near his family home, he says “Goodbye, Mr. FBI Agent.”<\/p>\n

Krimo’s motive for building his archive is still unknown.<\/p>\n

The parade started at 10:00 a.m. local time and was interrupted 10 minutes after shots were fired. Hours after the Chicago shooting, two police officers were injured in Philadelphia during July 4th celebrations.<\/p>\n

Many of the witnesses said that they initially thought the shots were fireworks. But only when they saw some bloodied people did they realize that there was a person shooting from a distance.<\/p>\n
