Cypress Sun Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 In June he was in treatment for psychological problems, namely for making threats of shooting up a military base. How do I know this? Because, once again, the media just has to make a "star" out of this a**hole. by publishing anything they can find out about him. I firmly believe that if the media stopped broadcasting the killers info, this kind of stuff would greatly diminish. Erase all evidence that the killer ever lived, sell everything they own or possess and give the proceeds to the victims/families. The entire "I have to be famous anyway I can" is a plague upon society that continues to grow and get worse with each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presidio Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Ohhh, this scumbag needs to be captured alive. Then locked away forever with no press, book offers, or movie rights ever. Stripped of everything and thrown into a dark pit like yesterday's trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory this means his guns would have been seized and he would have been flagged as not allowed to buy a gun on NICS. Yet again the warning signs were there. Did law enforcement take the steps I listed above or did someone kick the bucket down the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the reporting of the evil act I would like to see gone, it's the name/details of the shooter I want to see gone...forever. Once these losers figure out that they won't become famous (in their own sick, twisted way), this kind of crap will become less prevalent in our society. Nothing else works, it's worth a try.

Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Like Rye Miles, I want to be informed of these events and individuals with these problems.We’re the ones (through our level of involvement with electing representatives starting at the local levels and up). Maybe putting more pressure on them will send them running. Taking action against those that have knowledge of a bad situation and do nothing would be a place to start. I’m no genius, but if I knew my neighbor was a drunk/drug addict (hard to miss) and had troubled kids I would try to find a way to interact. The prevailing attitude seems to be, ain’t effecting me so I am out, got my own crap to worry about. Don’t bother me and I won’t bother you sort of thing. Situational awareness is about knowing what’s going on around you, if you ain’t paying attention its a guarantee you will be caught off guard. Thats our current state of affairs in the USA.

bgavin Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 In preparation for the next anti-gun pronouncement from Biden, I asked every single gun in my safe if they had been out on unsupervised jaunts. All of them assured me they don't go anywhere without me. None of them knew if any of their other inanimate objects went on a rampage in Maine, but they were certain they did not. It musta been a nutbag doing those murders, and not the inanimate object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Once again the signs were there that this perp was, allegedly, by his own admission, having mental problems, including hearing voices in his head! Yet, he was released from treatment after two weeks in a treatment facility. Yet, it appears that no effort was made to notify law enforcement, so that they could interview his to see if he had any guns, and, if so, to take them and associated items (ammo, etc.). I don't know if Maine has "red flag" laws, but they ought to. Not that that would guarranty anything, the way such laws are utilized where they exist! The problem is NOT "gun control", but the fact that our mental health situation is practically non-existent in this country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Amazing how the numbers change! NBC new here just said 18 dead and 13 injured. OP post says 22 dead and 30 injured. So which is it? And now they will make him TV hero. Poor Bobby, while they ignored the signs and the mental health treatment he needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I wish I had the answers. Obviously, passing new laws isn't going to help. It's already against the law to murder people. And how did the media find out this guy was in a mental health facility for two weeks back during the Summer? I thought that information was confidential under HIPPA laws. I pray for the safety of the officers hunting this animal down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 This is interesting: https://apnews.com/article/maine-shooting-what-we-know-40e373f7f2f0e0fb012ad4b26f4b78cd LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — Authorities say a U.S. Army reservist fatally shot 18 people at a bowling alley and restaurant in Lewiston, Maine, on Wednesday night. A massive search for 40-year-old Robert Card of Bowdoin was underway. The shooting in the state’s second-largest city is the 36th mass killing in the United States this year, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. The database includes every mass killing since 2006 from all weapons in which four or more people, excluding the offender, were killed within a 24-hour time frame. =================== Well now, the press finally coming close to telling the truth. Most claims I've seen about mass shootings are usually that the number is above 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just noticed CNN is using the mass shooting definition and count. "Four or more people shot not including the shooter," the count is 565. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 All the articles use incorrect language, "gun rights," "loose gun laws," "gun lobby." There is no such thing as "gun rights." Constitutionally protected civil rights is what they mean. "Loose gun laws" means respect for civil rights. "Gun lobby" is civil rights advocacy.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 So the news channels are reporting that the area the scumbag lived in is under “shelter in place”. What happens if people need to go to work, buy food or go to the doctor ? Is this mandatory , will they stop you? Arrest you?

I thought that information was confidential under HIPPA laws. Probably from the police. HIPPA law doesn't apply when when a crime or potential crime is involved and police can get a warrant for medical records. A medical professional is required to notify law enforcement if they feel a person is a danger to themselves or others. The short version is, if you commit a violent crime like this law enforcement is going to have all of your medical records, all of your social media, all of the websites you have read and/or posted on, access to your telephone records, the GPS location of your cell phone and maybe even the GPS location of your car.

Gungadin Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 You can expect some tragic outcomes to have a cause assigned quickly and inaccurately. Never let a crisis go to waste. For example we might say that the mass shooting in the Ukraine was caused by tanks or the recent one in Israel by Ultralight aircraft. Benghazi 2012, remind me again the cause of that one? If I run for President on a platform to outlaw hatred do you think I have a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
