Highland Park Shooting / Mass Murder

Abject insanity.
   I can't wrap my head around such things.
   He seems to have purchased the gun legally.
   Some progressives are already arguing that he's a wingnut/Trumpista. Seems odd for such a person to attack a 4th of July parade...though the very far right hates the USA about as much as the left does. Apparently the town has a large Jewish population. That could be relevant.
   Not to compare tragedies, nor to politicize it, but: this seems awfully comparable to the Waukesha Christmas parade mass murder. Six people killed in each--though more than twice as many injuries in the Waukesha case. I doubt this one will be quietly stuffed down the memory hole, however, as Waukesha was.
   Almost a sidebar: there's suddenly some chatter about a possible link between murder and antidepressants. I don't know anything about that.
