BREAKING...Suspect at large after 2 active shooter incidents in area of Lewiston, Maine[updated]

Signer's 'act' should have been screen-in-screen small block taking 15% of the screen...not "live" standing right next to him.

Sick of everyone from Joe Schmoe urban witness to government spokesmen calling thugs like this “gentleman”.  Most of my life the only time the term “gentleman” is used is when it’s a murderous criminal.  Stop it!  (Signer having to repeat this only made it more aggravating!)

Not quite a manifesto, but then this didn't appear to be an ideology-driven attack (unlike the woman who shot up the Nashville Christian school, and whose manifesto will never see the light of day).

Public safety commissioner reveals details of note left by Lewiston, Maine, gunman

LEWISTON, Maine - While authorities say Robert Card didn't leave an "explicit suicide note," he did leave a "a paper-style note."

The 40-year-old gunman in the mass shootings that killed 18 people and injured 13 others in Lewiston, Maine, was found in a trailer near a recycling plant in Lisbon on Friday night. Authorities said Card died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police searched for Card for two days before he was found.

Earlier that day, authorities found a note in Card's Bowdoin home, I-Team sources reported. The note, said Maine Department of Public Safety Commissioner Mike Sauschuck, was to a loved one and left bank account numbers and the password to his phone.

"I wouldn't describe it as an explicit suicide note, but the tone and tenor was that the individual was not going to be around and wanted to make sure that this loved one had access to his phone and whatever was in his phone."

Sauschuck said authorities were working on getting into Card's phone as part of the investigation. Police said 820 tips have come in, and police have completed a dozen search warrants.

Report: Police Alerted in Mid-September that Alleged Maine Shooter Could ‘Snap’

AWR Hawkins 30 Oct 2023

A report from CNN indicates the Maine National Guard asked police to check on Robert Card in mid-September out of concerns that he could “snap and commit a mass shooting.”

Personnel from “the Sagadahoc County and Kennebec County Sheriff’s Offices” responded to the Maine National Guard request by trying to make contact with Card on September 16, 2023.

A sergeant from the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office was alerted, “When [he] answers the door at his trailer, in the past he usually does so with a handgun in hand out of view from the person outside.”

The personnel from the sheriff’s offices were not successful in making contact. CNN notes that a document filed with the welfare check paperwork makes clear that at least one of Card’s fellow guardsman was “concerned that [the reservist] is going to snap and commit a mass shooting.”

Breitbart News noted on October 26, 2023, that police in New York took Card to a West Point hospital for an evaluation in mid-July 2023.

Card had caught the attention of military officials after “acting erratically in mid-July” while taking part in training at West Point, the Associated Press reported. Police in New York were called and Card was taken to West Point’s Keller Army Community Hospital.

The involvement of police in the West Point incident raised questions as to why Maine’s yellow flag law did not come into play.

Breitbart News noted that Maine has a yellow flag law that allows police to petition for temporary confiscation of a person’s firearms. And Maine Public Radio (MPR) explained that the state’s yellow flag law had been used 22 times to take away guns during the time frame of 2020 thru June of 2022. MPR suggested the yellow flag law “could be a model for gun control.”

The news of sheriffs’ offices being alerted that Card could “snap and commit a mass shooting” in mid-September only brings up the question again: How is it that Maine’s yellow flag law was not triggered?

Card is suspected of shooting a total of 18 people to death on October 25, 2023, in Lewiston, Maine. He was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound two days later.

Wait, I thought we were blaming this event on a recent break-up with a woman who frequented the bowling alley.

After he was involuntarily committed (per his own admission on his 4473) his repeated threats were known. None of the laws the gun control lobby insists upon worked. None.

The Feebs didn't to jack $hit about this guy for the same reason they as the other mass shooters they were aware of, the committing of mass shootings is acceptable to them because it helps to push the socialist aim of disarming Americans.

Especially when the "mass shooter" is of pale skin tone. Then it's really acceptable.

Right. The more mainstream they can make the guy appear in the press, the more they can build the PSYOP case that ordinary people should not have "assault weapons".

This guy was far from ordinary (considering that ordinary (as in "normal") folks don't go on homicidal rampages), and had tripped a bunch of flags that they let go, but that won't stop them from building a false narrative, partly to continue the anti-gun PSYOP, and partly to cover their asses.
The only thing that can stop that is the persistent revelation of the truth, through whatever means available.

Here's What Local Police Were Told Weeks Before Maine Massacre

The Maine National Guard reportedly asked local police to check on Robert Card, the suspect in the Lewiston mass shooting that left 18 people dead, after a soldier became concerned that he would “snap and commit a mass shooting,” according to a report from CNN.

Reportedly, officers from the Sagadahoc County and Kennebec County Sheriff’s Offices tried to contact Card on September 16, just weeks before the shooting occurred. The outlet noted that a Sagadahoc County sergeant called for backup, tried without success to contact Card, and received “disturbing” details from the Maine National Guard and the shooter’s family.

The responding sergeant from the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office was reportedly told “when [he] answers the door at his trailer, in the past he usually does so with a handgun in hand out of view from the person outside.” ... https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2023/10/30/maine-national-guard-visited-the-mass-shooter-n2630532

How come nobody is ever held accountable for these things? That's what I want to know. Someone should lose their job for this.
