The fact he bought the gun after he was in a mental facility is mind blowing.
They don't know if that was accurate at this point until they can I.D. the weapon.
the way the law works is you have to be involuntarily committed or have a judge declare you are mentally defective. Mostly likely he voluntarily committed himself to avoid being blue papered.
It’s America and it’s said there are more guns than people. Stats are something like 330 million population to 450 million guns. Also who knows if he purchased it legally? They dropped the ball on this guy by letting him walk and Someone will pay. Rest in peace to these victims. Best country in the world America …huh????
He already owned the gun
@@user-gj8mn4ce8d In America is more like 400 millions people. Do research before comment , don't compromise yourself !
The mental health facility and whomever he made the threat to, dropped the ball on this guy. The sheriff should have been notified and his guns removed for safety reasons. Period.
But that is the thing, doing such a thing is illegal according to the NRA.
According to them this is just the price we pay for freedom.
Yeah, he was definitely mentally ill and authorities dropped the ball, but that GUN killed all those people. A crazy person without a gun can't kill that many people that fast. Come on. And why on Earth does ANYONE need an assault rifle to go deer hunting??!??!?!?!?!?!?!? Ridiculous.
supreme court in bruen case said we cant have any kind of gun control. vote was 6-3 written by justice thomas.
Seriously it's people that's committed suicide waiting for help. It's a big problem today.
@@Dompnwell if the citizens of Maine weren't living in the sixth most gun rights RESTRICTED STATE IN THE COUNTRY perhaps one of them might not have been a HELPLESS VICTIM and instead been a HERO and saved their own life and the lives of the other helpless victims like Elijah Dickens did in the Constitutional carry state of INDIANA
NO NOT "allegedly" hearing voices he told numerous people including doctors and a judge.
Are you a professional that can diagnose him from behind a computer?
@@Gregoryes4vyare you a moron who can’t read that he has voices in his head even when it’s documented. Literally click on any fucking link about this and it’ll tell ya.
they legally have to say that
Yes sir, so why would they release him, this scenario has happened over and over again, instead if always blaming the gun. You should be holding accountable the authorities that always let's these pep out, I've a therory, it's a deep state way of scarring the public to the point of surrender, I believe it a dark evil plot, but my point again hold the peps accountable that let the peeps out that's the problem, thank you
@@Gregoryes4vyhe didn’t diagnose him. He stated a fact that the man did say he was hearing voices. Learn to comprehend what you read! You just took the conversation totally in another direction and don’t even realize it! Anything told to a judge is documented u know that lady over there typing! He said it! It’s not alleged, he said it!
he was treated at a mental facility and threatened to shoot up a national guard facility and they let him out.
Gun laws don't matter when the healthcare system has failed
And they didn't take his guns away, even though they knew about his mental treatment.
Man, you can’t even just go bowling anymore
This is what The NRA wants us to live like.
They want to live like what they think Wild West is like.
According to the NRA, this can only be solved with more guns and less regulation.
They have been saying that for almost 20 years now. An many states have made it easier to get guns.
An yet we are still not safe.
Oh no! Please be safe everyone. Heartbroken for the families affected. Wow
God where r u
@@population-_-420 God has left Am. a long time ago. Sodom and Gomorah.
Wtf do u mean be safe...
"No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens" to quote my favorite Onion article that's been sadly republished far too many times to count of the last 10 years
Ok, so you want to ban guns (give total monopoly of force to the government). why haven't the police killed this guy yet?
In your ideal country where guns are banned, it's up to the police/feds to stop shooters, right? Well they haven't. It's been over 24 hours. What does that say about your ideal country?
For some reason, it's haunting to see those parked cars where the shootings took place.
If you think that's shocking you should see the crime scene photos.
@@ramblinbananas888They DIDN'T say shocking, they said haunting. Get lost, loser.
This is what happens when you can easily get access to being armed. I blame the government for this.
@@baldwin3750 right. but the guns are real cash cow for the us gvnmnt, justice system, media.
@@ramblinbananas888 I don’t believe there are any photos from the crime scenes, except the security footage of Robert Card in the bowling-alley.
Condolence's to all Family and Friends of the deceased, So SAD!!!! May all the injured have a Miraculous Healing!!!!
Where is the security photos at the bar & grill??????
I don't understand how he went and shot up two different places only 12 minutes apart. And he killed all those people. How did he shoot up the bowling alley so quick? And then drive across town
(4 miles) and shoot up the next place in 12 minutes? Killed almost 20 people, driving 4 miles from place to place, all in 12 minutes
1st you have to live in a small Maine town/city where this is like a meteor strike. 3 cops on duty is standard in many of these places.
It only takes 4 minutes to drive 4 miles at 60 miles per hour....😉
Like 98% of rural usa, they were lulled to sleep with years of peace. Just nor prepared for a quick response.
This is exactly what I thought cause I immediately assumed there had to be two shooters and weren’t there two different photos initially released?
@@douglasharbert3340 they drive 60 mph in the middle of town? And there are no stoplights or stop signs in this town? Or he's just very lucky and just didn't happen to hit any of them? And he shot 20 people all in this time. Crazy
Respect,heartfelt condolences to all families n most high give em strength to make it through this difficult time
Love how much info you have on this WHITE MAN, how bout that manifesto?
Well put together rundown, thank you ABC.
Abc is leftist trash.
God bless America 🇺🇸..I hope everyone well be ok and safe 😢
Condolences for the families from the bottom of my heart coming all the way from Florida Daytona Beach ❤❤️
Here we are again..... condolences, saddened, gun control, repeat.
gun control? You mean, talks of gun control and then nothing at all happening?
And nothing will be done……shameful and EVIL….
somebody who has history of mental health issues of any kind, should be banned from owning fire arms.
They are banned from owning Firearms but if nobody reports the mental illness to the government that does the background checks will still be able to buy a gun
EVERYONE HAS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES!!!! So by your reasoning, no police or military can have a gun.... think before you speak, dude....
Republicans absolutely disagree with you
@@stevegold7307uh. there is a spectrum of severity when it comes to mental illness. someone with ocd is not the same as a depraved lunatic
A person can have depression or anxiety and not be suicidal or homicidal. Not all mental illnesses cause people to be violent.
I guess the red flag laws weren't utilized? Maine must have the most criminally incompetent police force. They found his car and his "suicide note" and yet they can't find this guy. They knew who he was hours or sooner from the mass casualty event and they can't stop him? Police often times give people a card that is a "courtesy card" basically saying "this person is with us and please extend to them every courtesy." I first learned of this on a reality show called "It Takes a Thief." In an episode that featured a college student that was going to become a police officer. She had one and it was "stolen." It was returned to her but the point is: what if this guy had one since he's a firearms instructor that has done work with the government? Did he get out before they realized who they were looking for? I don't trust the police. They should have found this guy already.
Should have open carry, someone could have stopped him right away
Truly!!
It's because they are cowards
Just like u
It would have helped , but up against a high powered gun & his skilled training … smh 🤦🏾♀️
We do have open carry.
When will this end?
Deeply saddened by this tragic event in Maine. Thoughts are with the victims and their families. 💔🙏🙏
- Thich Nhat Hanh --- If you get angry easily, it may be because the seed of anger in you has been watered frequently over many years, and unfortunately you have allowed it or even encouraged it to be watered.
Thank you for reminding me of this quote. 🕊️
o
😢😢😢
Tired of hearing this when does it end.
never. we americans are dumb
He is on a boat
It would be way easier to find him traveling by river than in the woods, right?
So he threaten to shoot up something n still walking around
You climb to fight all over the world, but you can't cope with one soldier at home. Shamefully
Wait, you're telling me that not all Americans are dragging around huge guns to defend themselves with? Doesn't that kida defeats the narrative that you are going for here, doesn't it? If every American was some sort of gun toting maniac - how did this guy get away? OHHHH - because YOURE WRONG ABOUT AMERICANS.
BTW, you're welcome for us saving your butt from Germany... during BOTH world wars.
This scumbag never saw combat, he worked in an office as a procurement officer in the reserves. The problem is Republicans arming mentally I’ll people
What would you have done to prevent this crime?
@@haydensanford1987what would you?
Encourage more armed citizens, so that fewer people are "helpless" in the face of a threat.@@LtKamarov
Thats not Pejepscot boat ramp. That's a mobile home! Lol. The boat ramp is a mile north of there. Leave to the media to get simple details wrong.
"history of military service" as if that means anything specific. he's a weekend warrior that's never deployed
edit: i shouldn't have bashed so hard on reservists. the point i was trying to make was that saying he has a history of military service evokes the idea of a military career more than it should for him specifically
I mean it indicates he has atleast basic firearms training. But more importantly it possibly implies his mental health treatment was through the military or va. When I was overseas they ignored everything I ever said, and the va isnt doing a much better job now. Its a real crisis for some people
And weekend warriors deploy more than active duty and also work a Civilian job and do military while active duty only works part of the time
@@garrettwclark26 I was more commenting on the way its presented. Civilians tend hear "military service" and immediately associate that with the likes of Chris Kyle
@@cegecej i admit my comment was kinda harsh on reservists, that wasn't truly my intention. It just miffed me that they said "history of military service" without qualifying that statement. It doesn't mean anything and only serves to frame him as some big bad "shoot first ask questions later" soldier
You notice the comments section isn't talking about crime in America and our country is falling apart 😂
ABC initially reported 60 people injured. 28 dead, if I remember that correctly.
Right. Always the media does this. To spread fear. These mass shootings are real cash cow. Vultures. Disgusting.
@@Satan_. exactly. the median...
So he still on loose?😢😢😢
Yes. Things are very tense and frightening right now.
I feel safe,warm and secure knowing there's police to protect me.
I mean; it didnt help those people, sadly
so clever ... police are not body guards ?
do you expect them to be everywhere, in every business, all the time?
@@js4687 I'm trolling
Money devalues human worth.
Im confused. So is it possible that he was the shooter at both places? Or no?
Yes he traveled from one to the other. He is the shooter at both locations
Sounds Fishy to me...
@@ianjohnson7646 ow okk. Im not good with distance. So i didnt know if he had enough time or not.
As a resident of the city, it seems strange. But I do believe it’s possible.
What about shooter at the club?
What club?
It's Spare time recreation center, not "Just-In-Time." How much other stuff did you get wrong?
No my friend, you are the one who is wrong. It was formerly Spare-Time, but has been known as Just-in-Time for at least a year now.
Sincerely,
Someone who lives three minutes away.
@@TheWizardYeof funny because there's no just in time recreation anywhere in Maine. 🤡
Is he a firearms instructor ? I have heard conflicting information.
Are there 22 Dead ? Or 18 ?
18, and I believe the most recent information is that he wasn’t a firearms instructor.
'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens"
Anyone else think this guy could get well be unalived somewhere and that's why they're not finding him?
Certainly a possibility
He could be at the bottom of the Androscoggin, and they may never find him. If that’s the case, unfortunately, we may be living in fear for a good long time.
Why’s the ATF there? They are searching for a man not a dog.
What does ATF have to do with dogs?
@@TheWizardYeofthey shoot peoples dogs
Why is it so hard to hit the like button? Like, good job on the reporting, but the news still sucks. 🤷♂️
search rivers, and other surroundings, he might escape to nearby cities as well
or he killed himself
Everyone else hours ago said he was not an instructor although has firearms training
Why is this urgent news coincided with the ground attack on Gaza?
This event is truly tragic. You definitely cannot trust the news though. They were saying 22 dead when it first happened. One is too many, however, why miss report the facts?
Where's all the video? Why is there only a couple of pictures of the "shooter" All the news outlets are showing the exact same pictures. They're trying to tell me he's been running around shooting people and there's zero video from the bar, the warehouse or the bowling alley in this day and age? They found his SUV at a boat dock, no talk of casing everywhere, no bloodied bodies....just asking for a friend.
That one guy looked like Ben Afleck
I've seen so many comment about a good guy with a gun when over 150 officer's couldn't stop a lone teen shooter in Uvalde Texas
Ha those were highly trained officers. They let them kids die get your story straight.
They chose to sit while children died. Police in nashville immediately without question ran towards gunfire
You are an idiot
Good guys with guns can’t do a dam thing in these situations
Most citizens are more courageous than the average cop. Remember all the parents willing to go in to stop the scooter at Uvalde but the cops arrested them?
Why do people do this? I don’t understand motive.
When seconds count, the Police are minutes away.
The suspect escaped too. How lame.
What are they supposed to do, teleport? Have precognitive awareness of where something is going to happen?
@@TheWizardYeof It means when you really need them, as in someone breaks into your house or an active shooter situation: They're minutes away.
I was watching a TV update on this when they were searching the suspects home and they said something like "The COAST GUARD" is the lead agency at this scene" and my question is WHY would the Coast Guard be the lead agency. Unless the event happened at a Coast Guard facility or Coast Guard personnel were targeted, I can't understand why they would be the lead Agency???
Dang. Anybody know why yet. He had some bs reason I’m sure feels like somebody could have help prevent it
No way someone gets 4 miles in a few mins it takes me wasily 10 mins to go 3 miles with traffic
😢😢
It's not that we have a gun problem we have a serious mental health crisis in this nation that nobody wants to deal with ,just saying
its both.
You are based. Thank you for knowing our constitutional rights and understanding that it’s the mentally ill people pulling the trigger, not the firearms.
@@Kyletheanimator your so very welcome 🙏
All countries have MH problems. Most don’t have guns available like sweeties.
@@Kyletheanimator Yes, clap clap clap for saying what every Republican is saying in order to say "Well no, don't look at guns as a problem, it's everyone else that's the problem. Not our precious guns that the NRA and gun lobbies pay us so much to defend and promote, those are awesome, actually go buy a bunch today."
It's all NRA bullshit talking points that live inside your brain and take up that little mass of critical thinking you've got crammed into that fat head of yours.
looks like this happened in a small town.
Happened in a democrat town in a state with strict gun laws
@@GVGR11Bbro this is Maine the whitest, safest state in the country.
@@schemar17 sure looks safe.. also not sure what race has to do with it
@@GVGR11B white places like Maine are super boring it's safe
@@schemar17 pretty sure its safety has nothing to do with boredom. I've lived all over this country. Boredom and crime go hand in hand. The big factor would be cost of living. Altho I do agree that maine is an other wise safe area and I do also acknowledge that the most violent and dangerous cities in this country are largely ghetto. This is still a big reminder that no matter how safe a city or state is, our second amendment is important. People get comfortable within safety and neglect preperation. Which is what happened here. No one carried a weapon because they felt they didnt need it.
Google maps now pinpoints and labels “Lewiston shooting” weird days we live in
He was not a weapons instructor.
So, the calm and normal part of Murica is catching up..
They were calling him a "person of interest" today
That was last night. With formal charges now placed against him, they are using ‘suspect’
Rest in peace
How many times does this have to happen before anything gets done? People say "Don't blame guns!" or "Mah second amendment!". How about having some form of control? Looking outside in, it's like you guys get a gun with your Happy Meal...
2023 have been a incredibly difficult year for you all, and stuff like this keep happening. Children gets killed, adults gets killed, teenagers get killed, seniors gets killed. Either you need to revise your gun laws and requirements to get one or you need to take a serious look at yout health services when it comes to mental health.
Everything health related is so expensive in the U.S. I highly doubt it is less expensive when it comes to psychologists and psychiatrics as well.
I'm sorry for your loss. Hope they find this monster soon!
Very sad to see this happen and my condolences and prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤for all the families affected by this senseless act. I hope the officers who get to first do what needs to be done and that’s not putting handcuffs on him for him to sit in prison still breathing because he needs to be removed from this planet.
It is astounding that he purchased the firearm following his stay in a mental health facility.
how did they let this man escape … they have ONE job. the entire country is unsafe.
That didn’t even look like him.
THOUGHTS AND FUCKING PRAYERS GUYS
My gawd!..at 1st i thought this happened in my area, Lewiston Calif..but its in Maine..either way this is horrible!..why?..just why?..😢
There's no way this wasn't a previously recorded release. What's going on?
What did the voices said? Maybe he was possesed.
Be quiet. Possession isn’t real.
@@TheWizardYeofGo and watch the story of Anneliese Michel, the case on which the Exorcist movie was based and think again before writing such nonsense.
@@TheWizardYeof how do you know!?
Because there is nothing to possess.
well at this point, this is what America wants so i guess everybody should just stay at home for the rest of time. This country will never attempt for a solution…obviously.
*October 26th.
I gotta stay away from these comment sections, too many people talking out of their ass isn't good for anyone's mental health.
I agree with you I think it's to show us the rational not to glorifie it
Dude was a prepper. He's set up in the woods somewhere
Sadly, there is a strong possibility
Maybe ELF. He was hearing voices.
should have been jailed for the threat.
Crazy but sounds like he was tied in somehow
What do you mean?
Maineans are resolute. They will get through this.
so the SHOOTER was committed to a mental health institute, released, family told law enforcement that he said he was going to do a mass shooting, police came and did a welfare check.... THEY DID NOT ARREST HIM EVEN KNOWING THE THREAT! THEN THEY WANT TO BLAME GUNS....
Get rid of your guns SMH
As long as we have weak laws and guns in America with ppl who have hate in their heart including violent tendencies we will have this.
He still on the loose. Dang metal problems my ass. He totally in control. That not mental health problems.
Clearly he does have mental health problems, even if he’s aware in other regards. That is undisputed.
WWAAAAAHH-😩😰😭😫😢
Typical nascar people activities smh
Hell yeah its been too long
At least this was not a hate crime. ( to the fools that say there is a difference )
he parked at a boat ramp on a river he is long gone ... and a new FBI episode in the making
I'm not sure why we need this level of detail except to sensationalize the tragedy. Like what exactly do we gain by knowing the play-by-play of what happened tonight? It's not a TV show, it's a tragedy.
To analyze what happened and prevent it from happening again.
Because not everyone learned about the news as it was happening. Timelines help clear up confusion.
That too.
Welcome to America.
Dude is just talking
Dissonant
There is so much misinformation with this story
Such as what?
TALK ABOUT A RED FLAG PERSON ❗Shouldn't a person with his military background and obviously access to firepower - GET YOU THROWN IN JAIL IMMEDIATELY &/OR AN IN PATIENT MENTAL FACILITY ❓ What a FAILURE by our country ~ Our returing home military personell MUST RECEIVE THE BEST MEDICAL & MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN THE COUNTRY ❗ SHAME on our government for NOT making sure THAT is IN PLACE❗
Arm yourself and be vigilant. Don't let yourself be a victim
Arm what? Assault rifles too?
i carry a grenade in the usa. we are one hosed society
Pretty sure he took your advice!
Aint it crazy how they always so dedicated telling you about the fact after and nobody can save you at the moment...
There is next to zero chance the shooter is still alive.
Seems like cheap intel
Magas gonna maga
if he wore a mask we probably wouldn't even have a suspect
Well if this isn't a "terrorist" I don't know what is. Oh I forgot he's a "mass shooter".
