Crime Maine shooting - 18 dead

https://heavy.com/news/robert-card-x-twitter-politics/

Heavy reviewed the page shortly before it was suspended by X. It shows that Card followed and/or liked posts by X’s CEO Elon Musk and Dallas Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban as well as a professor who studies terrorism and a number of prominent conservative politicians and pundits, including Donald Trump Jr. and Tucker Carlson. He also liked and shared posts by CNBC.

Card only followed a few accounts on X. The included a conservative 'MAGA' page called Proud Patriots, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, CNBC, Joe Rogan and '@ ProfAsifNawaz,' whose page says he is an 'Assistant Professor of International Affairs & History @UMaine, Terrorism, International Conflict, Muslim Politics.'

Card liked a post by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which read, 'President Biden has already caused record inflation. Now, his reckless refusal to negotiate could lead to a first-ever default. I am prepared to clear my calendar. Mr. President, what are you afraid of?'

He also liked a video by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. The caption on the post read, 'The trans movement, it turns out, is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy. People who believe they’re God can’t stand to be reminded that they’re not.'

In March, he liked a tweet by Donald Trump Jr. that read, '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 also liked a post by conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza that read, 'An assault weapons? Well, cars kill more people than guns do. But we blame the drivers. We don’t ban large or fast cars. We understand that cars, like guns, don’t act by themselves. The blame lies with the people who operate these mechanical devices. Common sense 101.'

Card also shared a post by a conservative page named Catturd that read, 'Good morning …When you don’t have the will of The People … you cheat, lie, fudge numbers, force lockdowns, illegally change election laws, run out of ink, make sure the voting machines don’t work in Republican areas only, hire 2000 mules, call voter ID racist, shut down counting on election night, do ballot dumps in the middle of the night which miraculously have 99% Democrat votes, have your propaganda communist media lie for you, count for weeks until you get your candidate to pull ahead then immediately shutdown counting, and arrest your political opponents to win.'

So are you trying to say this shooting is politically motivated.
 
So black kids playing on the side of the road in the hood and catching a stray bullet are less valuable than white kids in a library getting shot by some psychopath?


Never said that. But these are completely different phenomenons. We can whataboutism derail this to infinity if you want... "but what about the genocide in Rwanda?"

Also black kids go to schools and libraries too, nice Freudian slip though
 
More stupid shit from you. Most of the deaths were in the bar he targeted first. A bar where you cannot legally carry.

So that law only stopped any "good guy" from having a gun. But that law certainly did not stop him.

Yea the real issue here is not enough people under the influence of judgement altering drugs you can’t even operate a vehicle under aren’t also armed with firearms. If they were we’d all be safer. Give people drinking guns to make us safer

No, that would be adding 2+2 and getting 10 at this point. Hopefully his motive will be revealed as more info comes in.
 
In a perfect world the mass shooter threads would be limited to news only and there would be a separate gun control thread. I'd like to know what is actually happening with this situation. However, it always goes directly to Chicago, race shit, and @My Spot spamming the same three posts ad nauseum.
He ditched the car and they don’t know where he is. I think they are telling people in Mass to shelter in place or stay inside.

not a peep, not a buzz, not a care in the world...

Lol, you do realize you just listed 4 articles from main stream media, including a national one. Sort of defeats your premise.
 
Well that's dumb since a majority of mass shooting suspects in this country aren't white.

Whats your definition of a mass shooting? Thinking about youre probably right. I guess white guys are the most deadly when it comes to mass shootings which garners the most media coverage.
 
I'm sure the powers that be are going to swoop in and ban guns in their various forms in Maine now, despite it being a historically low murdery place. And the most vulnerable will cheer it on.

Or you could have the law as you can't drink and carry but being in a bar or restaurant is fine if you don't drink. You know like the whole drinking and driving thing

Practically everyone leaving a bar is drunk.

This is actually a fantastic idea as unfortunately this type of situation happens enough in America and (although rarely) other places around the world to warrant a dedicated thread.

If the mods @Jackonfire @helax @PurpleStorm etc., have their hands full with other duties to be bothered with having to curate a thread like that each time something like this occurs then I would gladly volunteer to take on such duties with someone else ( @Poon Goon or whomever) where we would only be granted access to post on the thread and we could only post factual information backed by credible neutral news sources and update as necessary with zero personal opinions involved.

If that is something mods/admins would be interested in, I'm available to help in any way possible with that.

every mass shooting thread turns into "what do we do about the guns?", so naturally you'll get data from all sources of gun violence. can't cherry pick, bro.

blip on the radar.

let me know when there's hashtags, social media, condemnation from corporations, celebrities, and mainstream news outlets that last more than a news cycle. inner city crime and how to fix it doesn't fit the mainstream narrative so it's ignored.

All the data says more guns lead to more gun deaths.
