I'm so sorry for the survivors, and for those who lost loved ones.
How sorry are you? Are you willing to do anything or just lie?
@vertical_animations prove it

Why are you sorry? you related to the shooter? sorry never makes sense in this situation.
@@metallica1426 no bitches
To all Maine people, stay safe.
Thank you
Thank you it means a lot to us. ❤
how? how can anyone? This was a bowling alley....
Thank God you were here to comfort the people of Maine.
Thank you
That little girl, wow she's taking this really well and I'm sure it's credit to mom. I hope that she gets the counseling that she needs because I think when she really realizes what happened, it's going to hit hard.
It's always the ones who take something like that well at first who struggle the most when time goes on. I was robbed at gunpoint one time working at a convince store. Had a gun shoved into my ribs, and then point blank at my face, and I've never been so scared in my life.
At the time, the detective and my family told me how well I handled the situation. and I felt like I just escaped death, so I was more relieved than anything. Now, over a year and a half later, I'm still struggling with the way that moment made me feel. It almost hurts more now than it did then.
My mind continues to flash to that moment and I think "what if they shot me?" What sort of life would I have lived with a bullet in my face, or in my ribs? What would my family and friends have thought if I was killed? Was the 17$/hr job really worth losing my life over?
My mind tends to drift to what reality would be like if I was killed that day. and what hurts me the most is, I dont think my death would have meant anything to anyone who didnt know me. I wouldnt have been on the news, I wouldnt have been memorialized by my former high school and college. I would have drifted away like countless others. A memory forgotten to the past, gone in an instant, and for what?
@@ReadIcculus93 I'm so sorry you had to experience that. You should get some counselling as it can really help with things that affect you like that.
@SparklingCiderBar. Rather hug your mom's big @$$. Clown.🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸
@collectibleasmr you're 100% right. I've been through various forms of therapy in my life and have had some great counseling.
The most important things to me right now are having and maintaining a strong support system of family and friends and finding ways to initiate flow states for my thinking. Too easy to allow my mind to get stuck in the muck. It's a delicate balance between understandin and exploring emotions, and allowing them to have negative consequences to other aspects in life.
Photography and music are great outlets for me, along with mindful meditation.
This is beyond sad. My circle lost two beautiful girls in the Orlando massacre back in 2016, We can totally relate to what the people of Maine are going through right now and we are totally feeling your pain and desperation. May God's strength be with you all and pray hard this man us caught soon 🙏
Lost a dear friend at Pulse too, chances are if you’re in Orlando you’ll meet someone who was there or who lost someone there. We all want stricter gun laws
@@metrodroid we don't have a gun problems we have mental health problems. Biden is more concerned about Ukraine/Russia and Israel than our own people getting the help they need on our own soil. Those funds should be kept here to help our own.
Also, Israel has stiff gun laws so they can't protect themselves from radicals. Imagine how many people would still be alive right now if they were allowed to defend themselves. Only criminals and terrorists get to have guns.
And why do these shootings keep happening in blue states with strict gun laws? Probably because coward criminals know there won't be any good bystanders as a threat. Instead they rampage helpless sitting ducks.
You need to change your circle to people around the Truth of the Word of God. The people massacred were into sexual perversion and Judgement from God fell upon them . Find the God of the bible.
And the people killed in Maine? What’s the excuse for their deaths? How about the Black Americans killed by Dylan Roof while they were praying ?
@@misha-elministries5246and what would you call the person who MASSACRED people? Is that not a form of perversion and sin? Poor you, so caught up in words that you dehumanize people you have no power or place to judge. I pray for a lost, empty soul like yours.
The second little girl is so traumatized god my heart literally breaks
Literally huh?
My condolences to all the victims ' family members. RIP to all victims. I hope everyone get therapy.
Absolutely heartbreaking. This horrendous assault has devastated so many people's lives. I use to work with Tricia at a Distribution Center in Lewiston, she was a happy beautiful woman. My sons youth bowling instructor was murdered and his wife shot too. We don't the status of her. I can't comprehend why this could happen. My heart and prayers go out to all.
I'm from Maine. Our hearts are broken. Enough is enough
Tell your rep to ban gun free zones.
@@Ambera3407 in Maine everyone over the age of 21 has the right to carry/conceal carry. I'm not sure what you mean by gun free zones. I think we've seen often enough that a good guy with a fucking handgun does nothing against a weapon of war. Or are you expecting everyone to walk around with AR15s?
@@emilyplatt8172 the bowling alley was a gun free zone. Hurry up and call your rep.
Stop saying, "weapon of war" and handguns do nothing against an AR, you clearly don't know anything about firearms.
Your understanding of guns is its a scary object and little pieces of metal come out of it when you pull the trigger.
He didn't have a weapon of war. It was a modified sport/hunting rifle.
Please tell me you don't think AR means assault rifle.

Nah I ain't together with any Habs fan .
Very naive
@@bobbyantrobus1805 the laugh I needed
For anybody who has ever been a victim or lost somebody to this there is no answers. Millions of questions. And not 1 reasonable answer......😔
Reasonable answer is God wanted you to live a little while longer, so stop thinking about it and continue your life
No, that actually isn't a reasonable answer because that would then mean that God didn't want the other persons that died to live. James 1:13 "When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone." The god of this system of things is Satan the Devil. (2 Corinthian 4,4. That is what the Bible says. We are living in the last days of Satan's wicked system. God's kingdom/ government ruled by Christ Jesus is mankind's only hope and will put an end to all human governments. What is happening in the world are all signs of the times we are living in and that soon Jesus Christ will rule as king over the earth. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes whether people want to believe this or not. The Bible tells us what some of the attitudes/ characteristics of people would be in the last days at 2 Timothy 3:1-5. After Satan the Devil was banished from the heavens and confined to the vicinity of the earth, it's only been "woe" or trouble for the earth. Revelation 12: 9, 12 . World conditions will continue to get worse before it gets better and it will only get better when God's government rules.
@@user-bb9vo9pp2k damn bro you cold blooded? god doesn't exist btw
The government let you down again. They could care less about the people who died despite the facade they put on. It's business as usual.
💯💯 they will continue to ignore signs and then blame the shooter and no one else. I stand by saying THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED! NO ONE NEEDED TO DIE; YOUR SYSTEM FAILED YET AGAIN 😒🤷🏽
I'm a Canadian, and we've had our share of these shootings, but I feel like in the US (I love you guys) I worry that it's going to get to the point where every single American is going to have a personal tie to one of these atrocities.
It's an extremely money-driven society down here unfortunately. The only way any change actually occurs is when it affects the people at the top. It is what it is 🤷♂️
To be fair, your mentally ill can ask the government to kill them while Turdeau took your right to self defense away. So you technically _do_ still have mass killings, they just come with a federal stamp of approval. It's all so complicated, isn't it?
To see a child growing up in this nonsense is just heartbreaking, lot of people are losing their minds after Covid happened. Lord please return soon. peoples heart are turning hard and cold.

I guess they are poor they live in Maine!😊
No one should have to feel like this in America. It’s wild. We also need better help for our veterans. Mentally they go through and have been through a lot. I feel like the system failed the shooter as well. I pray for all the victims and their families 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹🥹
The system and friends and/or family and healthcare providers…
You're correct about veteran services but it's important to note that the shooter never saw or came close to combat.
He was a reservist, he never deployed. This is not the militaries fault.
How about get rid of the guns ?
Why not in America? Wake up
You can tell that the young woman is very traumatized this is so sad and traumatic 4:56
Crazy times we live in. I’m only 24 years old but when I was a kid this was almost un heard of 😢
Nope it was happening this all started in 1949. It's more frequent now because more people have access to guns.
As of August 27, there were 10 mass shootings in the United States in 2023. This is compared to one mass shooting in 1982, one in 2000, and 12 mass shootings in 2022.
School shootings
The United States sees the most school shootings in the world. Some motivations for school shootings included depression, seeking revenge, and bullying. As a result of the large amount of school shootings, gun control has become a central topic in U.S. politics. This widespread problem happens across the United States; however California saw the highest number of K-12 school shootings in the United States since 1970. However, the deadliest school shooting (as of August 2023) was the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. This tragedy left 33 dead and 23 injured.
Mass shooting issues
Mass shootings happen when there are several injuries or deaths from a firearm-related violence. Throughout the last century, mass shootings have become an epidemic in the United States. However, despite the increase in mass shootings and number of casualties, the U.S. government has done little to prevent future shootings from happening. As a result of the lack of cooperation in politics, mass shootings have become an important issue for Generation Z living in the United States. Furthermore, having the right to bear arms is a popular belief in the U.S. and the percentage of households in the United States owning at least one firearm has remained somewhat steady since 1972.
you think the access to guns was somehow more restricted in 1949?? @@KC-cb7ov
Mass shootings happened almost every day when you were a kid, just like they do now. You just didn't hear about them. There have been over 500 mass shootings so far in 2023. I bet you didn't know that, because the national media and gun control crowd ignores 99% of mass shootings and 99.99999% of ALL shootings. Take a wild guess why...
Yes it was. It happened in mid late 90s with Columbine. I was a senior in high school back then. It also happened in the 80s at a McDonald's in California. And I'm not going to even talk about the Tylenol scare in the 80s.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s kinda fucked up they had the little girl interview about the terrible things she’s seen.
And yet you watched it? Thats just as messed up. Im gonna have to report you're comment for offensive language
No bc people need to see and here from children how fucked things really are
It's because she's half-black, and the shooter was white. ABC wasn't about to let a golden opportunity to push a subtle race narrative get by them.
@@AnonMouse-eo4ofreport? That’s stupid wow.
@@AnonMouse-eo4ofy55nd
This could've been any of us. And at the rate and ways these things are continuing I wouldn't be surprised if someone who comments on this video or views it will in the future be subjected to a shooting like this. God forbid of course. I send my condolences to the families and may God keep us all.
Nope!
I would NOT be a a children's night at a bowling alley with both shoes or one shoe off, while enjoying pizza and cornhole.
Never!
@@MAATJUSTICE-bp4gtWell when you put it like that lol.... 🤔
So heartbreaking 💔 Thoughts and prayers to all involved 🙏 😢
Yea like that’s going to do anything at all… if all the prayers worked every time something like this happened it wouldn’t keep happening.
if there is a god, and i believe there is, he would not help us. We did this to ourselves, it is our job to fix it ourself, not a man who hasn’t involve himself with humanity in 2 thousand years
Those poor precious babies, they are not supposed to see trauma like this. RIP all who perished, and our country needs to fix our priorities.
This seems like a lovely town and I’m so sorry this happened there. I live in Texas in a small town too. God bless everyone concerned.
Lewiston is actually a City. The 2 towns they mentioned Bowdoin and Lisbon are little towns. From where I live now it's around a 20 to 30 minute ride to my Doctors office in Lewiston. They call it The City of Lewiston Maine. And where the bowling area is located at a nicer part of the city. At he old fairgrounds where there used to have real Race horses and a track and you'd bet on them to win money.
Lewiston is actually considered the armpit of Maine. Lots of crime there from drug addicts and tribal violence between Somalians.
@@jeng1395this is true. I live in Lewiston. But this was different. It's easy to avoid the things you mentioned. Things like this? Totally random and senseless and can happen to anyone. We're shook.
@@jeng1395 , oh, that’s awful.
Not trying to remove emotion from the situation, but as an analytical thinker,
I saw on one news report the ex wife said he got new high powered hearing aids and since then he was hearing voices telling him to kill people? Kind of odd how since the very first news report they knew he had mental health conditions, but it takes them a day to confirm other most simple stuff. What about HIPPA? Would it be possible to make someone crazy if you had their hearing aids controlled? Even if it was like a foreign PsyOPS like Chinese scientists experimenting in labs figuring out a way to manipulate and producing the technology for the aids with something implanted I mean maybe I'm crazy but I think it's worth some thought
The family contacted police and the army MULTIPLE times about this man’s deteriorating mental health. He had told them he was hearing voices telling him to harm himself and others. It was well known by the army, his family and police. This whole ordeal could have been EASILY prevented. Tragic
Patient's rights trump patient and public safety. He had a legal right to dump his meds, refuse treatment and go on a psychotic rampage.
@@susanfowler4228His guns should have been confiscated. Are there no laws on the books in Maine to confiscate guns from someone who had threatened to harm others? 🤔
@@theadvocate3006 we are in agreement . Sadly, he was hospitalized for ten days and was chemically stabilized, then discharged with scripts and instructions to report to the outpatient clinic. He didnt like the way the antipsychotics made him feel and dumped them. Instructions to report to outpatient are not enforceable. PATIENTS RIGHTS. Should he have had that weapon? No. Should he, as a reservist, been serving as a marksmanship instructor for West Point cadettes? The problem with chronics is they are just that.....chronic. clinicians and clinics are not lining up to provide care. Sad situation.
@@susanfowler4228literally not true.
@@TheFalloutShot96 Really? Community shelter/service providers have been dealing with this since deinstitutionalization . Community mental health professionals will readily admit that they prefer not to deal with chronics.
Hugs to all affected.
He had a “military intervention “ but was allowed to go home to his guns?!? Seems like they wanted this to happen for political reasons.
Political reasons? You’re a psycho dude
Rest in peace to the victims and these poor people and children who had to witness it. ❤️

Many people have felt that pain since mass shootings are a common occurrence.
@@Dhejdjskd I am sorry as I am not Judging you but these firing incidents have been so common that people know it but no one address it. No one in Govt change the law which could stop/prevent mental health suffer people getting access on Rifles /Pistols. People say verbally that they felt the pain of victims but in reality, it is not. Victims are always Victims. It doesn't matter what kind of incident happens with them. I was also victimized very brutally and so far no JUSTICE, I have got heart attack, ribs got broken and still I am in trauma. ........ Let me ask you about these survivors? Would there be any change in law in near future...Answer is NO. Remember Action speaks louder than words and sometimes words are not enough , there actions are needed even if you feel the pain of any VICTIM.................

All those red flags prior and no action or response to get this nut off the streets? It’s almost like they wanted this to happen!
There are over 20 million Americans with diagnosed mental illnesses. So let's hear your galaxy-brain solution on how to know how many of those 20 million own firearms and which ones shouldn't be allowed to have them, and then jumping through the legal hoops to confiscate the firearms they will probably claim they already sold to someone on Craigslist.
I'm all ears, Einstein. You have all the answers, right?
@@JakeKoenigreopen mental hospitals. Been closed since the 70’s. Lobby the AMA to be responsible for mental nuts on our streets instead of medicated and out of society to do these heinous acts? Why did the military allow him to be free? So many more are out there.

Mental illness is not a uniquely American issue. There are mentally ill people all around the world. These mass shootings, however, ARE a uniquely American issue. Why AR-15s are available to citizens I have no idea. Don’t argue with me.

a musket to a modern high tech killing machine is akin to comparing a firecracker
to a bundle of dynamite !
@@thomasskokan2001if the 2A was for muskets. It would have said that.
u clearly don't know anything about firearms
In the 236 yrs since the Constitution was written I would dare to say " firearms " have changed radically from the lead shot balls
of the kind that knocked a young George Washington off his horse when he was fighting WITH the British yrs before the American revolution....Had it been a modern weapon , he most likely would not have survived.How many neatly marching "redcoats" could 1 man with a modern killing machine take out in seconds before
being eliminated ? I would venture to say quite a lot more than 18.....Arguing over muskets vs whatever else you want to call
" arms " 2 centuries + ago seems a tad absurd ...

Our Mental health care system is broken. This all could've been Prevented
How is this the mental health system? The mental health "authorities" can't go to somebody's house to take their guns away if they're reported to be crazy. That's the police's responsibility and they can only do that if the state allows them. We don't have a broken health care system for this, we have a broken firearm industry that's preventing any kind of restrictions whatsoever. That group would allow guns on airplanes if they could

Ayy red head
It is clear that the hospital that he was admitted to did not do their job and should be thoroughly investigated and charged. One of the first things that should have been done was to check the firearms register and reach out to his next of kin to see if he had access to firearms. In the military you can’t just walk in and take weapons. They are not only secure but guarded and there are various logs and personnel you have to through command chain to get them. You must be scheduled down range where there are additional range officers that you also must log in with. So that being an avenue for weapons makes absolutely no logical sense. He would have to go through several people and as I said there is monitoring at each point, you don’t just walk in and take a weapon. The elephant in the room is mental health professionals and the fact that we need to reopen mental health facilities. Not everyone is safe to be on the streets. Often when your admitted they put you on psychotropic drugs then put you back on the streets. They did this with my ex and he killed himself. This happens quite frequently and we have to start holding mental health facilities and big pharma accountable. . Over medicating people and sending the criminally insane out into the streets instead of in house treatment has become an ongoing problem. Every mass shooting was a criminally insane or heavily medicated person. Criminal do not obey the law by definition. They will use a gun, a knife, battery acid, a bow. The issue is not being addressed which is we need more mental health institutions like we had in the 50s when communities were safe.
You make excellent points here. However, I think the elephant in the room is actually our ridiculously weak gun laws. This man should have had zero access to firearms.
Forced meds? 🤣🤣 in the 50s you could send you're wife to get help because she yapped too much. Good job.
a handgun, battery acid, and a bow would not have been able to mow people down... assault rifles should be restricted. And ALL weapons should be removed from access if there is a mental illness.
The little girl doesn't understand that it's a mental illness, she's like why would someone do this? that's very sad, the country seriously needs to address the mental health crisis in this country.
Mental illness is BS.... they're just plain evil
MORE LIKE - SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE ADULTS IN CHARGE ~ DID NOT HAVE SOMEONE WITH HIS BACKGROUND IN FIREARMS & MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS & WHO HAS MADE THREATS AGAINST PEOPLES LIVES BEFORE ~ DIDN'T TAKE ALL HIS GUNS AWAY & HAVE HIM LOCKED UP TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAFE SO THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ❓❗❗❗
Yep, I’m sure it has nothing to do with access to ar-15s

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” - Thomas Jefferson
That's actually insane. I've never heard that quote.
You don't think this would happen a little less often if we made it harder for psychopaths to get semiautomatic weapons?? If we could save the life of one child, it would be worth it to me. But "muh freedums" is more important than children's lives and that's why I'll never understand people like you. We'll never see eye to eye because the lives of the innocent don't actually matter to you.
@@UltimateDorito Marijuana has been illegal in Texas for my entire life, yet I know over 100 people who smoke weed all the time. But what were you saying about "making it harder for psychopaths to get semiautomatic weapons?" Making things illegal makes them inaccessible to the public, right champ?
PS - ALL firearms are semi-automatic unless they're bolt-action rifles or full auto. If you don't know what terms mean, then stop using them in sentences.
@@JakeKoenig cool. You got me on a technicality. Weed isn't the same and you know it. Way easier to hide an eighth in your pocket than an AR. And you still didn't address the loss of life. Once again because it doesn't matter to you. It's just collateral damage.
@@UltimateDoritodidn't get you on a technicality. He got you. You have no idea what you're talking about.

@@ph43draaa you be surprised. When you die and meet the One who is above all.
@@ph43draaaYou right fable arent real. God is real.
I dont know what to say. My heart and prayers to all the innocent poor famalies. . Th esaddest is seeing these adorable little kids talking about if they didnt know if they were going to live or die. Now these poor little angels have to live with this for the rest of their lives.
I don’t know how much more of this I can handle.
In my own home state 😢
Every person should own a weapon to feel empowered and safe to defend themselves!
Lol, I can’t even tell if it’s ironic or not anymore
@@yenko5196being unarmed clearly isn't working.
@@Ambera3407 Actually it’s working very well!
People who let this mans mental issues slide/him have guns should be charged or at least lose their positions of authority. The fact the man threatened to shoot up the military base he worked at and still kept his guns is insane and one of the issues that must be addressed. Maybe if people start losing their jobs or getting charged with negligence we will see these issues get addressed.
All the individuals who knew this guy was nuts and did nothing? No laws to stop this? Keep them institutionalized and away from society. This is common sense
Tragic all around. I sympathize with _everyone_ involved. I even sympathize with Card. Praying everyone heals from this.

that little girl's expression is heartbreaking. she looks so much older than she should for a 10 year old.
He was hospitalized for hearing voices in his head and yet was able to own a full assault automatic rifle??? We won't give people with bad eyesight a driver's license, but we'd sell guns to psych patients! 😮 The poor families.
It was a semi automatic AR-15, not a “automatic full assault” rifle, and no he shouldn’t have been in possession of any firearms knowing what we know
Hearing voices. Does that ring any bells. It should since all the mass shooters say the same thing. Even Sirhan Surhan. The man who supposedly shot RFK. Need to read up on MK Ultra.
Greed....we really need to think about what our young kids are playing on video games too . So much killing its absurd.
"full assault automatic rifle"
🤣 Please stop making comments if you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. And he already owned the firearms before any mental illnesses were documented. Nobody sold a gun to a psych patient, genius.
@@champagnefoxi7983your kidding right? The dude was hearing voices in his head. It doesn't matter the gun, the guy should not have a gun ever again. You know what I take it back, you can't be a serious commenter. You must be a paid troll by the firearm industry, foreign government or bot because your response is just too heartless
I am so sick of these shootings. How did this guy obtain a gun if he had mental problems? Our country is becoming so unsafe.
He owned the gun already, genius. Also, over 20 million people in America have documented mental illnesses, so good luck figured out how many of them own firearms, whether their specific diagnosis should prevent them from owning firearms, and then jumping through the legal hoops to confiscate their firearms that they will claim they sold to someone else.
Why does everyone with a sub-80 IQ rush into the comment sections of these mass shooting videos to ask how the shooter "obtained" their firearms?
Then their job was done. Notice how mayhem ensues when Trump is running again for President? They're TERRIFIED he will get in again. This was done by design. I don't believe it happened. Where are all the victims' names?
@Toast8195 You just fall right into line, don't you?
Did you even watch the video??? He was an army reservist for 20 yrs...
Who also never saw combat..
This is so sad sending prayers to everyone involved and the family members loss too much of this happening to many life’s be taken for know reason I hope they catch this guy 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God bless these families

Uh huh…
The same suspects every time !!!! Why do these cowards of the same kind do these things 😢
Because they think they're entitled to do it.
Doesn't matter if it's somebody else's neighborhood.

Rip to the victims and prayers for their families
CNN were interviewing one of the victims fathers, and a few seconds after he started to give his response, they cut him off and went to the commercials. If THAT doesn’t tell you how mass killings are percieved in the US, i don’t know what does. Commercials are more important than human feelings and loss it seems.
How long have you Hated CNN, because you believe unprecedented Extreme Rhetoric and Intentional lies by right wing media ?
Newt Gingrich was a household name?
Sarah Palin was a household name ?
Rush Limbaugh had been lying Intentionally for ratings and profit for 10 years ? 20 years ? Or 30 years?
AR15's are not assault rifles.
🤣
💯
Neither are M1 US military rifles with far fewer rounds and fire much slower.
@@ronaldcole7415 you've never shot either I gather.
I’m not here to argue, I just want to get my head around it. I think most people know ‘AR’ doesn’t stand for Assault Rifle but rather Armalite (manufacturer). Please educate me why do civilians need them? (I’m not American). Condolences to the victims and families.
Just move out of the U.S. people... just do it for the safety of your children.. we, the rest of the world, are shaking our heads because we can not understand how someone would choose to stay in a country, were its not safe to step a foot out of the building. You see, people in warzones leaving the country for the safety of their children.. I honestly don't get it. Why would I choose a gun or a assault rifle over my own child? I couldn't care less about that piece of metal. My child would be the world to me
What country should people move to? I'm curious what nation you're from for you to say this
@robotraptor7332 I don't know what countries . Some nearby, that are statistically safer idk, Canada or something like that. For example, I'm from Germany, as you ask. Yeah, stabbing stabbing, but I feel safe in general. I'm not scared about some random dude who sits in the same train. I'm just saying, I see you only respond to comments that are not "100% pro America supportive" . I was just genuinely talking
@@onurji4311I am not moving from America to Germany…that’s dumb as hell..Y’all only get sun 3 months out the year..Hell naw lol
@Rob_uno if you read right, I made an example like Canada. As I said, the word "nearby." Moving to another continent would be dumb as hell, correct. And 3 months of sun? I'd be happy if it could get really cold because we already have almost November. It's way too warm and sunny recently. So I can tell you, there is enough good weather in Germany.
@@onurji4311It happens in Germany 🇩🇪 too
Considering that the shooter wrote a suicide note, it's likely that his dead body is somewhere in the Maine wilderness.
That little girl said it best.Why do people do this?
Tell me why no one there was exercising their carry rights that day???
Exactly! But unfortunately places like that you can't carry in/ Every time I go to places lots of them has signs saying no guns, I listen because I can't risk getting in trouble especially as a parent but at the same time to help lessen at least the number of people getting killed or injured these business that are against it at least need to have one.
Not everyone wants to own a gun. Legal or not.
damn this is a permitless carry state, out of over 100 people there, not one person had a firearm ?
or maybe they were trying to keep their friends and family alive, and didn't want to hit innocent bystanders? It's not the freaking movies.
@@janetgood6332 that or he went to a gun fee zone on purpose? Notice they never do this at the hood gas station nor a gun show or shop etc?
@@janetgood6332 yea, real safe with 18 dead, id rather one innocent bystander down vs a mass of people, but i understand your logic. im pretty sure no one had a gun or they would have used if if their life depended on it, several people had ran for a knife to defend themselves, im pretty sure those people would have rather used a gun.
@@lestagez whatevs. No one is ever going to admit they had a gun and didn't use it. Even the cops in Texas were to afraid to do their jobs. You armchair heroes think you could have saved the day. Hope you get the chance to prove it in this godforsaken warzone we call the US.
Stay safe Maine people 🙏🏼
Peace, My friends died in a mass shooting in Brookfield WI, in 2005.
