Biden needs to prioritize social services for the voting public, family member needs help with mental health issues which the shooter developed family said claimed to hear unwanted voices a form of schizophrenia. Republican Reagan policy to get rid of the mentally ill and threw them out of institutions most becoming homeless s problem in every administration an American disgrace by greedy narcists sociopathic politicians that don't care about humanity, crimes against humanity issue, sad.
President Biden, who is hosting a state dinner for the Australian prime minister, “has been briefed on what’s known so far about the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine and will continue to receive updates.” — White House
I hope that the "conservative" folks who like the same social media posts that he liked admit with their full chests that this former US military member, a guy who seems white + Millenial, reportedly chose to use his power, privilege, + skills for domestic terror.
I really don't think hurting + killing people is a great form of debate. Brute force is not the right way to change the culture.
Robert Card, 40, a person of interest in the attack, is described as a firearms instructor in the Army Reserve and assigned to a training facility in Maine. According to a document circulated to law enforcement officials, Card had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks in the summer of 2023, reports AP. https://apnews.com/article/lewiston-maine-shootings-49da6d06a8b5a15d3b619b3927bc33ff
The NRA, the NRA funded and Leonard Leo backed conservative political operatives on the supreme court, and the republican party: “hi, mentally ill person, heres an assault weapon.”
Robert Card remains at large, is "considered armed and dangerous" and no citizens should approach him, Maine Governor Janet Mills tells news conference in Lewiston.
"Eighteen people are now deceased" from the shootings at a bowling alley and a billiards bar in Lewiston, Maine State Police Col. William Ross tells reporters. Eight of the victims have been identified but ten have not yet.
Robert Card is now viewed as a suspect and an arrest warrant issued in connection with the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine. Authorities say they're not prepared to answer questions at this time about a possible motive.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tells reporters with a new House speaker "now is the time to find common ground" and ban assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals.
@w7voa Excuse me, but maybe they should try to keep it real. Something, like, "This latest mass murder and the blood of those murdered is on the hands of the GOP who doesn't give a fuck about human life.
Unfortunately, in 21st Century America, we just call that Wednesday. It's apparently no big deal, since we, as a Country, never do anything productive about the problem; we just give lip service to doing something about it.
TIME TO GET FUCKING SERIOUS AND TAKE ACTION TO STOP THE BLEEDING!!!!!
