2 Shootings in 4 Days Near Maine Somali Mosque - Also near a 'refugee services center'.

Lewiston is ground zero for the Somali Muslim presence in Maine. And it shows.

The Lewiston Police Department has released surveillance footage of a gunman in Lewiston opening fire.

The video is of the second of two shootings in four days near a mosque on Bartlett Street.

Lewiston police say it’s an area with a high volume of shootings over the past year.

What might be attracting these unknown shooters to the area? Besides the mosque?

Several witnesses told police a young, black male across the street fired multiple rounds from a handgun toward the Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services building and nearby parked cars.

Perfect. More ‘contributions’ to Lewiston’s incredible diversity.

Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline called the president’s assertion that Somali immigrants contribute nothing to society “shameful and inaccurate.”

“Here, Somali entrepreneurs are business owners and hard workers, creating jobs and strengthening our local economy,” Sheline said in a written statement on Wednesday. “Their active role within our City has been instrumental in Lewiston’s revitalization, making such rhetoric not only cruel but clearly false.”

Very inaccurate. Can’t Trump see these incredible contributions being made near a refugee services center and a mosque?

This is the leftist plan to destroy Western Civilization. People will not accept communism if they are happy.

Two things that should not exist:

1) Maine mosque.
2) Maine Somalis.

Undoubtedly somehow the white devil is at the heart of it all.

It couldn’t have been Somalis. Somalis are Muslim and Muslims love Jesus! /s

How many learing centers, hospice care facilities, and wineries do the Somalis run in Lewiston?

“Undoubtedly somehow the white devil is at the heart of it all.”

Unfortunately it was the white devil that imported them in to white nations... Liberal devils.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam and leftism.

A) Someone in the Immigration Agency has a side hustle and there is a “business” dispute,
B) Immigrants are suppose to get “x” amount of goods and services. Networked immigrants get a lot more. the shooter feels cheated that he is not getting the special graft and corruption amount.
What does Charity Navigator give the agency for a rating? They are probably as naive or purposefully blinkered as Transparency International IMO.

From the comments section, very insightful.

Really, what did Maine expect when Somalis started settling into the state?

The Democrat’s response will be to make it harder for law-abiding Americans to own and possess firearms.

Maine was once the way life should be. No more. The hate-America crowd brought savages into the state and ruined it.

With 87% of Somalis drawing welfare benefits, maybe it’s time to shut down the free money trough. At least tighten it up saying you must have 40 consecutive quarters of fill time employment to qualify for ANY gov’t transfer payments.
