What Robert Card's Social Media Reveals About Maine Mass Shooting Suspect (here it comes - ‘liked a number of posts from right-wing and conservative figures’)
Newsweek ^ | October 26, 2023 | Aliss Higham

The person of interest in the Maine mass shooting on Wednesday evening liked a number of posts from right-wing and conservative figures, according to screen grabs from his social media accounts.

Maine State Police have published the identity of a person of interest in the major incident. Robert Card, 40, was described by police as a firearms instructor believed to be in the Army Reserve and assigned to a training facility in Saco, Maine. He remains at large and is said to be "armed and dangerous."

Card's Facebook and X, formerly Twitter, accounts have now been deactivated. It is unclear if Card was responsible or if they were suspended by X and Meta. According to screen grabs and videos from what is allegedly Card's Facebook page, he finished a 20-year career in the army earlier this year. Newsweek is unable to verify this information at this time.

A video of Card's X account, using the username @RobertC20041800, shows he was interested in right-wing figures. His "liked" tweets include content published by Donald Trump Jnr., Tucker Carlson and Dinesh D'Souza. He also liked tweets by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan, according to the screenshots.

Card liked a tweet from the former president's son regarding trans and non-binary "mass shooters" from March this year, which reads: "Given the incredible rise of trans/non-binary mass shooters in the last few years… by far the largest group committing as a percentage of population… maybe, rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullsh*t on our kids?"

Another tweet he liked, from Tucker Carlson…reads: "The trans movement, it turns out, is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy. People who believe they're God can't stand to be reminded that they're not."

Exactly what the feds/contractors are looking for to work their nasty little tricks.

I’ve seen bowling league members span the political spectrum. This tragedy appears to be a case of mental illness inadequately treated, as opposed to a political jihad.

Another thread stated he was a registered sex offender.
If registered sex offenders are unable to legally possess firearms, how could this guy be a firearm instructor?

The BIG breaking news yesterday wasn’t about Israel or the House Speaker, it was………..

“The FBI obtained information from more than 40 confidential sources on potential criminal matters related to Joe Biden, his brother, James, and son, Hunter”

However, it was pushed off the news with the shooting.

There are various kinds of nuts. Some nuts are right-wing nuts. Nuts should not have access to AR-15s.

If you want to kill lots of people in a small town, go to where there are lots of people, i.e. a bowling alley.

The most arrogant progressive aholes I know, all drive Subarus.

I think you should distinguish between those that drive Subaru Foresters and those that drive Outbacks. The first are the worst, haha. But, a very sane friend of mine who drives around NH and VT in winter says the Outbacks are good value for price vs. function.

Maine authorities should put Card into a straight jacket and send him to Israel and they could turn him loose on Hamas.

The only more dyke vehicle than a Subaru Outback is the Subaru Forester.

No real man drives an Outback.

I had a nursing contract with the Bangor hospital in 2015. There were a number of psychiatric patients that were “stuck” in the hospital. These very volatile patients were admitted in from psych facility for medical illness but the facility refused to take them back when ready to discharge. The state run mental health hospital previously could be forced to take them but it had been shut down years ago. There was no where to send the now medically stable patient, no facility of last resort.
One guy had been there 18 months, another over a year. One patient was so disruptive and aggressive that he had one-on-one care from a few select nurses that could handle him. This unit was usually staff for 6-1 patient ratio. Meanwhile, he had no therapy that his condition required.
Finally, a contract was made with New Hampshire to accept him.
18 month acute hospital bill plus transportation out of state. No telling how much that cost. And the patient did not get proper care.
Frustrating and sad.

Children’s bowling league???? There’s more background to this story, seems like an unusual objective for mass shooting. “Interesting... Gunfire erupted Wednesday inside of a Lewiston, Maine, bowling alley as a children’s bowling league was underway.”

So true. Many of the ones I know (personally) don’t bother to bathe or even to do any other personal hygiene.

One used to come into our office every day and when I first began working there, I thought he was the janitor. I found out he was the head of the dept.

Perfect subject for the FBI to manipulate, they knew him and Im sure they encouraged him

Time for another mass shooter to distract the public. This is so in our faces, it’s not even questionable at this point. Sadly, MK Altra/hypnotic suggestion programs continue and people die just to create a desired public narrative.

Schemengees Bar & Grille in Lewiston Maine is a Billiards Hall. A bowling alley and a pool hall, lots of people on a Wed. night... there’s a lot more to this story. I have a feeling he has some bad interactions with people who didn’t want him around and he knew their movements. Tuesday Night & Wednesday Night.
