When do we reach the point where we say enough is enough... and implement some common sense gun control laws. I have outlined my proposals in the past. Active shooter situation in Maine, hospital says 'mass casualty, mass shooter' event At least 22 people are dead following a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine https://www.foxnews.com/us/active-s...sidents-told-to-stay-inside-with-doors-locked At least 22 people are dead, and 30 people are injured following a deadly shooting in a Maine city that spanned three locations on Wednesday night, Fox News has confirmed. The Lewiston Police Department confirmed that the active shooting incidents occurred at three locations— Schemengees Bar and Grille Restaurant, Sparetime Recreation and an unidentified third location. The Androscoggin County Sheriffs Office released a photo of the active shooter, with a rifle. (Androscoggin County Sheriffs Office) At 8 p.m., the Maine State Police said, in a Facebook post, that there is an active shooting situation in Lewiston, a city of 36,000, 35 miles north of Portland. A local hospital, the Central Maine Medical Center, said that they are reacting to a "mass casualty, mass shooter event." As of 9 p.m., the hospital said that they cannot share the specifics on the number of casualties. "Central Maine Healthcare is coordinating with area hospitals to take in patients," the hospital said. The Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office shared two photos of the suspect, who was wearing a brown sweatshirt, and holding a rifle. Authorities told residents in Lewiston to "shelter in place" and to "stay inside your home with the doors locked." (Article has more photos and video.)
edit: MAGAtard confirmed Subaru driver and targets don't point to MAGAtardness yet: The shootings spanned three locations: A bowling alley, bar and grille, and a Walmart store, according to Lewiston police and scanner reports. edit: May have spoken too soon: confirmed: why the profession change? Who knows
So far, he's been hitting places where he has an easy exit and there is a report he has changed clothing prior to shooting up the next place. If that's true, his behavior is unusual in comparison to other mass shooters...he has planned this out so that he can survive and continue to another location for a mass shooting there too. A bowling alley (on family night)...fuck...no place to hide there. Everybody there is shooting ducks especially when he's shooting at them from the only known exit (guarding that exit/entry door) with a heavy automatic assault weapon while carrying a backpack full of ammunition. wrbtrader
All the terrorists Biden let into the country will have guns. It isn't the lawful people causing problems. All the cities with strict gun control are infested with criminals. There's a solution, build people up instead of controlling them with fear and threat.
The mass shooter is a home-grown, U.S. military reservist, military weapons instructor, and recently in a mental illness facility for a few weeks... You can not possibly blame Biden for such as much as you can blame his military commander who may have yelled at him when telling him to do extra push-ups at basic training. Lewiston is a small city...about 36k people. If that city was not in the NorthEast and instead like in South Dakota or Kentucky...it would be considered a rural community (2k - 50k). I've been to Lewiston once...drove thru a few years ago just prior to the Pandemic from Canada. You really can not determine their politics other than seeing some pro-Biden signs, NRA signs, pro-Trump signs, and so on. I think Biden won Lewiston because of one heavily populated ward whereas Trump won most of the wards. If you're curious about some recent history about Maine's congressional members in congress... ...Members of Maine's congressional delegation reacted with horror to the school shooting in Texas that left 19 children and two adults dead. But with Congress seemingly locked in partisan gridlock over gun issues, members were unclear whether this latest mass shooting will change any of the political dynamics in Washington. Three of Maine's four members of Congress were serving on Capitol Hill in 2013 after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings spawned a major push for new gun laws. Independent Sen. Angus King, Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree all voted or supported a bipartisan measure that would have required background checks for most gun sales. But the measure failed to get enough Republican support to get around the Senate filibuster... Yet, in 2019, it was both rural Democrats and rural Republicans that blocked red-flag laws citing "due process" concerns. As I specifically outlined to you in another thread with charts, we have a big problem in our military. There's a home-grown threat...increasing with well-trained military soldiers while you're worried about people crossing our southern borders... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/all-wars-are-bankers-wars.376557/#post-5875622 You're ignoring the guy with some mental problems, you may have gone to high school with and grew up with...that's now in the military and becoming more polarized by the bullshit politics in America. People like you continue ignoring these home-grown threats to civilians. I trained with people like that and it's one of the reasons why I left the military. Too many extremists within our ranks that really didn't care about other Americans. Actually, they didn't care too much about immigrants. It's tougher to get them kicked out of the military until they become a danger to their fellow soldiers. P.S. It's not the government responsibility to build you up...teach you right from wrong...teach you to value life. That's the responsibility of your Parents, relatives and friends while you were growing up. wrbtrader
Known to be nuts, housed in a nut case facility, history of making threats, what to do? Perhaps if we had of policy of treating mental illness rather than encouraging it some of this stupid shit wouldn't happen. Half of America under 25 have lost their god damn minds and what passes for leadership supports and facilitates it. Hopefully one or more of the 99.9% of lawful gun owners will draw a bead on the fuck stick and drop his ass.
Shammity asks how long will it be before the shooting becomes politicized... Hannity touted MMA training as 'personal security plan' in wake of Maine mass shooting Fox News host Sean Hannity described his mixed martial arts and second amendment training as part of is "personal security plan" in the event of a threat posed to him. “I can literally probably count the seconds before an incident like this becomes politicized and that part of it I never like,” Hannity said to Haley, suggesting that as the nation moves from the shock of the event of the man going on a rampage. Hannity stressed that the segue to politicizing the shooting is futile. “Because that’s not going to bring back lives,” he said.
