Murder chat rooms on the internet
draw one in to crazies not yet met.
Videos of bloodbaths filmed for fun.
Cartoons of a shooter with long gun.
Bobby’s last post was of a beheading.
He’ll get revenge for years of bed-wetting.
With auto rifle he climbed on a roof,
shot random paraders as a goof.
Dead were folks from eight to eighty-five.
Thirty more he wounded might survive.
Captured after uneventful chase,
his mug shot shows sad young sicko’s face.
Reed thin and quite tattoo decorated,
he finally took aim at what he hated.
Called himself a rapper named “Awake,”
strove to cure America’s ‘mistake.’
Though he was a Cub Scout as a kid,
it seems there was an evil side he hid.
When message boards and 4chan brought him out,
he flipped to a much darker side, no doubt.
And so, in Highland Park, he met his fate,
deciding July fourth was the right date.
He put a murder show on for the news.
Too late now were social media clues.
And when the police tracked him down,
he meekly laid out on the ground.
Bobby Crimo had his say.
Seven people dead today.
