During an interview with Active Shooter Prevention Project founder Chris Grollnek that took place during CNN’s coverage of the shooting in Lewiston, Maine on Wednesday, host Laura Coates noted that one spot that the shooter targeted was a bowling alley with children in it and that the shooter was “not going to a gun range. This is not going to a place where perhaps he would believe he could encounter people who could respond.” And that he picked “soft targets.”
Coates said, “And I’m looking — of course, in the photo that we’re seeing, he’s at a bowling alley. We’ve heard from eyewitnesses, they saw children running out of this bowling alley. It could have potentially had many children inside. This is not going to a gun range. This is not going to a place where perhaps he would believe he could encounter people who could respond. These are essentially soft targets. What do you make of that?”

The guy is mentally ill — a nut job. He might hate bowling shoes as well as his reserve base.
Shooter Picked ‘Soft Targets’
Yes it’s called gun free zones DUH
Here’s the problem, again. As usual the gunman was known to LEO, he was a mental illness patient and he was treated superficially and let go.
The obvious problem is that our nation is exploding with the mentally ill. Perhaps we should scratch all the focus in our schools about climate change garbage and focus on metal health.
....but it is ALWAYS the AR-15’s fault....no matter what kind of deranged person pulls the trigger, it is always and evermore will be the gun’s fault....just wait for it....that PoS of a President, Biden, will soon come out calling for yet another ban on these assault rifles [sic], probably before he jets off to Delaware for yet another long weekend....
Maine is a Constitutional Carry State, right? According to the left, those states who are CCS are just like the wild west where EVERYONE carries a loaded gun... but apparently not in bowling allies or bars? I don’t get it... Why wasn’t there at least one armed person in either of those buildings who was and able to get off a shot. Am I to believe Card shot ALL of the folks carrying a pistol and just got lucky?
Not sure about the laws in Maine but in many states you can not legally carry in an establishment that serves alcohol.
You should carry anyway for reasons that this incident should make obvious.
The real problem is:
It’s not OUR guns,
It’s YOUR sons.
If he was looking for soft limp wristed targets, he would have gone to the MSNBC building in New York. Looking at you Wallace, Twinks Willy/Hayes, Banjo Boy and your adulterous wife. /spit
Those she was talking to at CNN were dumbfounded by her logic, I’m sure.
My coworker is from Lewiston and bowls in a league, fortunately on Thursday night. He knows many of the dead, and is dazed by being so close to that tragedy.
“There, but for the grace of God, go I.”
At least someone on mass media is saying it instead of their usual bilge of needing to disarm the population because of a head case.
She pretty much just made our case for us.
He was verified mentally ill, admitted hearing voices and made threats to carry out a shooting at the National Guard Base in Saco. He spent two weeks in a mental facility and was released, unfortunately.
THIS is where the problem is - how the mentally ill are treated - the streets of San Francisco are full of raving, mentally ill, homeless lunatics who should be in a locked facility for not only our safety but their own.
Otherwise identified as Socialist Democrats.
Shooters do not want to be shot, so they pick places they know have only unarmed people, who follow the law and the requirements of the establishments that want their patrons killed in this manner.
Restaurants and bars in Maine can post no firearms. Don’t know if that was the case, but it makes those posted really, really soft targets.
I drove "thru" Lewiston the day before on 95. It's right between Ogunquit and Freeport I believe.
I was thinking that as well. He might be crazy, but he ain’t stupid..
