Active Shooter Situation in Lewiston Maine

That's my feeling right now: he already killed himself.
If he was looking to get away/run from this, wouldn't he have worn a mask or something? That would have delayed identification for a few hours at least, giving him time to get on the road somewhere.
But then again, he's not in his right mind, so who knows.

I've been under a shelter in place "order" for a while now, so my brain wanders.

Yeah, I wonder if he's at the bottom of the river. If he had come in with hat/mask/bulky clothes, no cell phone on him, tape over his license plate and had a replacement car ~30m away from the attack he could have been in the wind with very little hope of tracking him down.
 
I’ll add…rumor on Twitter is Card (shooter) used a gun from the National Guard arsenal (he is confirmed as Guard member and firearms instructor).

If true, no gun law would have stopped him (duh).

Laws can't prevent things from happening.

Laws can only punish someone AFTER they've done something bad.

NO law will ever keep anyone safe, anywhere, no matter what the circumstances.

And we already have laws against killing people for no good reason. We don't need more.
 
A) Reservist, close enough

Lol. Spoken like a man who's never been in the Guard nor the Reserves.

Different kinds of units and skillsets. Different mindset. Different oath. Different chain of command. Different ethos.

I have been leaning that way as well, just for the fact he hasn't been found yet and it seems like there is no trail.

I was actually wondering how he was identified so quickly? The image we see of him sucks, looks like 50% of the male population in maine with that pic.
 
If he was going to off himself, he'd have done it right after the shootings. It appears he had at least some getaway plan. It's more likely he picks another target of opportunity as his desperation rises.
I think he either ran off into the woods and killed himself(best case) or is hiding out somewhere planning his next move.
 
There is an update coming. Would not be surprised if they found his body in the water somewhere near the boat launch. I expect it would be in the water to eliminate a heat signature (I assume the police helicopter was using IR).

Edit: Nope, didn't find him yet.

A bunch of armed motherf***as in the woods would probably flush him out.
All the hunters stay safe up there, he's not some tourist that got lost in the woods.


...
It’s his stomping ground. I mean, he grew up here. He knows the area really well. He’s capable of hiding for a long time if he doesn’t want to be caught. There’s a lot of places you can be in the woods and never be seen
...
It’s really dense, thick woods. If you know the area, there’s a lot of places you can hide … you could never see something like that from an airplane or helicopter.

Card was using a new $2,000 thermal scope
 
IMO, he doesn’t necessarily have to worry about concealing his identity during the crime. He could potentially dawn an N95 at any time and it would be looked at as very ordinary. Change gait slightly, shave head and pop on a baseball hat. Even get creative and spray on a little bronzer and pop on a keffiyah. He pulled off the hardest part which is getaway immediately after, and I cannot recollect a shooting of this magnitude in which the perpetrator was able to escape this efficiently in recent times; as the guy in Dallas was barracaded in a parking lot and was subsequently blown to smithereens by an EOD bot.
 

The suspect in a Maine mass shooting, Robert Card, seems to have held extremist right-wing views, particularly against the transgender community, according to social media accounts appearing to be from him.

,,,

Card’s digital activity on X showcases possible support for damaging narratives propagated by right-wing personalities Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. Following a separate mass shooting incident in Nashville in March, Carlson posted inflammatory remarks on X, formerly known as Twitter.

...

Trump Jr. also posted on X, writing, “Given the incredible rise of trans/non-binary mass shooters in the last few years… by far the largest group committing as a percentage of population… maybe, rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullshit on our kids?” Card liked both posts, indicating his endorsement of these harmful ideologies.

GOAL came out and said this shooting is a direct result of a mental health crisis... Not surprisingly, they were right.
When will we learn his NES handle? Who haven't we seen posting recently?
