I'm seeing people try and say Highland Park is typical "Chicago".
Highland Park Illinois is where Michael Jordan lived.
It's where 16 Candles, Home Alone, Risky Business, and Ferris Bueller were filmed.
This is not "Chicago".
It's one of the wealthiest towns in America
A friend took his kids to July 4th Parade in Highland Park today. His son has special needs.
When shots rang out, they ran for their lives, the dad pushing his grown son's wheelchair--which at one point tumbled over.
On America's day, what has become a sickeningly American story.
BREAKING NEWS: At least 5 dead, at least 16 injured in a mass shooting at a 4th of July parade in Illinois. Many injured have been rushed to the ICU. RT IF YOU THINK THAT IT’S TIME FOR AMERICA TO ADDRESS ITS GUN CRISIS!

Rep. Adam Kinzinger tells CNN new witnesses have come forward to the Jan. 6 Committee since Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony: "She's been inspiring for a lot of people — this happens every day. Every day, we get new people that come forward."
Rep. Liz Cheney on ABC: "It's a much graver constitutional threat if a president can engage in these kinds of activities, and the majority of the president's party looks away; or we as a country decide we're not actually going to take our constitutional obligations seriously."
This 4th of July you won’t find me in a Biden “boat parade”.
I won’t be flying a Biden flag, draping myself in Biden merch, using a Biden beer koozie or getting a tattoo of Biden on my boobs…
I won’t be doing any of that shit, because I’m not an asshole and I’m not in a cult.
A pastor came flying out of his church and almost hit me. Then flip’s me off. Dude drives a nicer car than me. And pays zero taxes — Why do churches get tax breaks again?
@MalcolmNance I’m sorry that my fellow white people are like this person. I don’t understand why we can’t just love and appreciate and benefit from each other on this earth. All we need is love ☮️
