Tucker Carlson pins Highland Park shooting on 'lectures from women on male privilege' while furious Bill O'Reilly attributes atrocity to 'Minority Gangs which, like Drug Gangs and Drug Crime, you'll never stop'
Fox News hosts past and present weighed in on Monday's mass shooting in Highland Park, Ill., attributing women lecturing men on 'privilege' and government officials not prosecuting crimes because they're committed by 'minority gangs' as reason these atrocities keep happening.
On Tuesday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said women going on about male 'privilege' is contributing to men 'going nuts' and behaving like Highland Park shooter, Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III, 22, who killed 7 people and injured 47.
'Authorities in their lives, mostly women, never stop lecturing them about their so-called privilege. "You are male, you are privileged." Imagine that, try and imagine an unhealthier, unhappier life than that. So a lot of young men in America are going nuts,' Carlson said.
Carlson questioned why Crimo didn't 'raise an alarm' or 'stand out' to authorities, despite the fact police had visited Crimo's home on at least two other occasions -- first, after he threatened to kill himself and, again, after he threatened to kill family members.
'Look at Robert ‘Bobby’ Crimo. Would you sell a gun to that guy? Does he seem like a nutcase? Of course he does," Carlson said, asking why no one raised an alarm before suggesting an answer.
'Maybe it is because there are a lot of young men in America who suddenly look and act like this guy,' he said. 'That is not an attack, it is just true.'
The Fox News host explained that men are becoming inured to drugs -- and then committing heinous acts.
'They are numbed by the endless psychotropic drugs that are handed out in every school in the country by crackpots posing as counselors,' he said.
