Denied silencer at Maine gun shop after filling out paper work and he was honest about mental health stay.

This was a months before the mass shooting.

I guess we can be thankful for small things.

Re: ME: breaking mass shooting in Maine, 18 dead, multiple locations

NBC broke in for Special Announcement this morning. Carried a live broadcast from Maine, an update on the shooting. Before it started they had bullet points which of course included AR 15 Assault Rifle, and number of dead. Large print graphics on the TV. The broadcast was essentially by Maine govt saying they are skilled, using all resources, and will keep public updated as investigation progresses. Using scuba divers in area where he got on Jetski.

Wish I knew less about mental illness. Everything Chasfm and Carlson above said is correct. Brain is an organ just like the heart or kidneys and it can malfunction. No one faults you if you’re a diabetic, but brain problems, yeah it’s your fault.

One time the subject of payment came up with a psychologist, and problems with reimbursement from insurance. This practitioner said “I really only get cash, not even checks but cash cash. No one wants any record at all.”

I was going to be a witness at a sanity hearing before commitment. The subject desperately wanted to be released.

While I was waiting in the entry area an obviously crazy guy came in the front door. The 3 Police officers immediate put on very heavy rubber gloves, when they saw him, but remained in their office watching. It was clear they knew him.

Eventually they had to bodily throw him out side.

I found the irony amazing.

Most times the deeply psychotic can’t be cured. Voice thing is a pretty sure sign, he shouldn’t be released, despite I’m sure his assurances, the voices were gone and he would take his meds.

They actually like being crazy and dislike taking the meds. The high from the crazy is a lot better and yes they lie to get what they want.

I’m not sure why his release didn’t require him to give up his guns. That only seems logical for his safety as well.

His relatives knew it was him as soon as they learned where it happened. It was in these spots he heard the voices saying bad things about him.

Re: ME: breaking mass shooting in Maine, 18 dead, multiple locations

Yeah I agree. Wish my hair was that thick when I was 50.

Friend thinks it was all an FBI encouraged thing. Finds the ability for the press to quickly get all the facts and interviews out amazing. Do we know anything about the Maui fire yet. Total death toll? Number of children?

I’m not going that far, but timing seems odd.

Supposedly escaped on Jet Ski. Heard voices at the two locations he shot at. People saying bad things about him in his head.

Shame no one put two and two together or connected the dots.

RIP innocent victims.

Re: ME: breaking mass shooting in Maine, 22 dead, multiple locations

“The Lewiston Police Department has identified Robert Card as a person of interest in the two shootings in Lewiston.

Card is 40 years old and should be “considered armed and dangerous,” according a Facebook post from the Lewiston Police Department.

Law enforcement officials in Maine describe Card as a certified firearms instructor and a member of the US Army Reserves.”

Horrible.

“. The document says Card had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks in the summer of 2023. It did not provide specific details about his treatment or condition.”

Just horrible.
