-At least 22 people have been shot dead in a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, and 50-60 people injured at three different locations
-Robert Card, a 40-year-old Army reservist and firearms instructor from Bowdoin, is named by police as 'a person of interest': his empty car has been found
-They have issued a photo of the suspect entering Sparetime bowling alley at 7:15pm; they were also called to a bar and a Walmart distribution center
A massive manhunt is underway in Maine for an Army reserve firearms instructor who was sectioned this summer for mental health reasons, and is suspected of shooting dead 22 people on Wednesday night at multiple sites in Lewiston.
Robert Card, 40, from Bowdoin, Maine, was named by Maine state police as the a 'person of interest' in the shootings at a bowling alley, restaurant and Walmart distribution center.
He was sectioned after saying he was hearing voices, and threatening to shoot up his National Guard base in Saco, Maine.
Card was armed with an AR 15-style rifle with laser optics when he burst into the bowling alley at 7:15pm to begin his rampage.
He was driving a 2013 white Subaru: Eric Samson, sheriff of Androscoggin County, announced at 11:20pm that law enforcement officers have found the vehicle in Lisbon, about seven miles southeast of Lewiston - but Card was not inside.
Mike Sauschuck, a law enforcement spokesperson in Lewiston, said Card 'is considered armed and dangerous.'

Sorry. I couldn’t discern if it was sarcasm or true beliefs. I will try harder in the future.
Sure looks like it —or a different Robert Card, or both.

You need to do some reading on SSRI drug side effects. They are horrible. And have Homicidal/Suicidal warnings.
As a Reverist did he have Covid Jabs? There are some bizarre symptoms from them.
No need. Your inquiry was respectful and I enjoyed responding to it.
The drugs that kids get pumped into them for ADHD and then the other substances they voluntarily consume later in life needs to be looked at in relation to these instances of mass murder.
Mental cases have always been with us, why the number we have now? More reporting of it and/or more of it?
Alex Berenson makes a very strong case that weed is not benign in his book: Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence. It’s worth the time to read.
He targeted places that serve alcohol were CC is not allowed is my understanding.
Ah, gun free zones.
Isn’t it wonderful how the government established them to protect everyone?
Like someone who is hell bent on going on a murder spree is going to stop at a gun free zone sign.
What about the New York State Police?
He had, in fact, been referred to the facility on July 16 after “behaving erratically” while in training at the United States Military Academy, a spokesperson for the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs told The Daily Beast“Out of concern for his safety, the unit requested that law enforcement be contacted,” the spokesperson said. “New York State Police responded and transported Card to Keller Army Community Hospital at the United States Military Academy for medical evaluation.”
When the NY State Police "transported" him to the US Military Academy for "medical evaluation," did they have him under arrest (for his own, and their, protection?). Or, did he simply hop in the back of their car so they could take him to the mental hospital?
If they had him under arrest, then wouldn't Maine's "yellow flag" law come into play...meaning, law enforcement should have removed guns from his possession?

How much damage to society has been done by the dismantling, and not reformation, of our insane asylums?
Check out Jeffery Lash, self admitted gun runner in California working for probably the BATF from back in 2015.
He told several people that he worked for a governmental agency and his job was to flush guns out into the street and into the hands of criminals.
The other more descriptive links have gone down he memory hole but this one still remains...
I smell a massive wrongful death lawsuit against some “mental health professionals”
More like, lawsuits against the NY State Police and/or the U.S. Army if anything.
Nah! An armed citizen could have taken him out and possibly saved a few lives.
“Is there much of a difference between Bush and Obama?”
Bush didn’t hate America.
Bush wasn’t a homosexual muslim.
Bush didn’t hate white people and wasn’t a black supremacist.
Bush was, however, a moron and a Deep Stater.
So, the effect was much the same.
THAT my friend, was the point I was making.
Most of us former members are really thinking MK Ultra.
So much deception out there now.
I see a pattern. Esteban Santiago-Ruiz, Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter and Aaron Alexis, Navy Yard shooter and Card. All three are military and said they heard voices to kill people and authorities turned them loose on innocent civilians to kill.
