If you're lucky that he uses credit card. See what he have purchased in the last 3 months. Recent food and specially how much water. Provisions usually tells you how far ahead a person planned ahead.
(To me), dropping the car at the boat launch may indicate a well thought-out escape plan. Boat? Woods? Another vehicle? Was this guy a survivalist? Is there a hole in the ground somewhere where he could shack-up for months?
I live here. Currently sheltering in place. We need more cameras, suburban Maine. Time to get on board with Big Brother like they have in metropolitan areas because then, guess what? You'd know exactly where he went and what he did after dumping the car. Get over it, Libertarians.

All the gun nuts and lobbyists who caricature the world as "good guys" vs "bad guys" should pay close attention here: this is not a "bad guy" with a gun, but a "good guy" (a veteran, a gun safety instructor) under immense stress and pressure from real life who happened to have access to a firearm and snapped.
so your solution is to punish the millions of law abiding gun owners.....how come we never hear from you lefties about "gun control" while blacks kill each other on a daily basis over drug turf in every democrat run city in america ?
Smoke and mirrors, the same people your talking about, look at the incoming $$$, and suddenly their eyes and ears are void of any facts, dont be fooled by facts changing peoples perspectives, unless it hits close to home, nothing changes for those with power.
The picture painted that this is just some average joe who got stressed and snapped is short sighted or disingenuous. This man had and mental illness that the average joe is not in danger of just developing because his girlfriend splitt.
My brother has paranoid schizophrenia and I became very concerned when one of the first things Trump did when he got in office was to bend to the NRA and lift gun restrictions on folks with mental illnesses.
Alright SO I can definitely sympathize with and appreciate the fact that people have serious mental health crises...BUT i know so many people who've struggled with mental health and who would literally never do something so evil as gun down innocents, including children. Just saying, mental health plays a role but we shouldn't act like it's a valid excuse for genuine evil.🙃 Some people just don't belong among society.
@etmchrome Well said and I agree completely. I've noticed a trend in people in all walks of life (and professions) who are beset by anxiety problems and are quick to say they experienced a mental health crisis. While I absolutely agree that sometimes, a person can indeed experience an acute psychic episode that is not necessarily of their doing, I have come to the conclusion that some people who blame their behavior and actions on a mental health crisis, are living through a crisis of not having the mental strength to deal with it. Thanks very much for your insight and I wish you and your family all the best. Be safe 🙏
@user-cv8xw8zn5u - No, that's idiocy. And the corrupt politicians in Congress, paid by the NRA. European countries and Canada have democracy but they don't let their citizens own weapons, especially semi-automatic rifles.
Ever try to buy a firearm? If he bought it at a store it's the FBI problem.... background checks happen...and if you want to run with that idea could this then be a psyop ran by the fbi/cia?
Like virtually EVERY other domestic terrorist in the US, he's a right-wing loser. STOP BLAMING MENTAL ILLNESS. There are just as many mentally ill left-wingers as there are right-wingers but there is virtually no left-wing domestic terrorists in the US.
I still have a strong gut feeling he's heading towards the Maine / new Brunswick boarder. It's pretty easy to cross illegally and new Brunswick is pretty baren of many major population centers, if he was driven enough he could hide out there for decades.

@@babblo1389 I think guns a simply intrenched US culture, which is fine. Issue is those that lobby yo keep it as it is are not telling the truth. Mass shooting is the price you will likely have to deal with, with such loose gun laws. There are small things that could be done that would improve the situation but the NRA wouldn't want those.
He heard voices and thought they were talking about him in those places.. listen to interview with his sister in law... This type of mental illness is terrifying for everyone, no less the person thinking they're hearing voices. .
Maybe, but maybe not, as that would be unusual for schizophrenia, where the many I have worked with never saying they interpret their auditory hallucinations as being in certain locations, or for being physical people they heard in certain spots. I have heard people with schizophrenia say they recognize the “voices” as hallucinations, or some who interpret the voices as angels/demons or other spiritual things, or some or think of the voices as a radio or other broadcast directly into their brain (usually attributed to the FBI or some other group), but never heard anyone with schizophrenia think the voices were actual physical beings or people who talked about them only in certain areas. I think the shooting just had the usual reason: young man who is angry, and who wants everyone to know he is angry.

Its pretty obvious the loser wanted to kill his ex and she wasn't there so he went on to the next place she might be and shot up the place this guy is just no good piece of crap.
Just because it's big and looks cool doesn't make it an "assault" weapon or machine gun. It's a semi automatic rifle more similar to a hunting rifle. It doesn't shoot any faster than a semi automatic pistol.

I agree. Universal Mental Health screening for everyone who wants to purchase a firearm. This way we can no longer use Mental Health as a crutch for mass shootings.
You guys are all full of 💩 We would be ranked 198th most gun violent country if it wasn't for San Francisco, Chicago and Michigan. Fun fact: anytime a gun is used and harms someone in any way it is counted as gun violence. Those states of the strictest gun laws but I'm sure the guy just didn't notice the gun free zone sign or he would've turned away
If the guy was hearing voices, I would bet he’s not thinking he’s one step ahead of law, rather I would think the guy is mentally deranged, obvi, & listening to the voices. He may be tactically smart, but more over is the mental illness & voices.
You can’t put mentally ill and motive in the same sentence. The motive is irrelevant if the shooter is mentally ill, as in institutionalized mentally I’ll as this guy was.
Stop making excuses for this lunatic. He lost his girlfriend and a job so what! Lol most people do ! That's not a reason to go killing innocent people . I don't feel sorry for this dude. If he was black would they be saying all this nonsense so nonchalantly? I don't think so!
This analyst was one of the most knowledgeable, well-spoken individuals ever interviewed by CNN. No BS, just the relevant facts and history of related shootings.
Yawn ya believe the media and their specialist just like the 50 intel officials lied about hunters laptop for political gain huh? Only morons still listen to msm and that includes fox
This guy traveled to the Mountains of Afghanistan,crawled into a Cave,where sat Osama Bin Laden and interviewed him. This guy is impeccable. Very knowledgeable Man.
So is the solution is to disarm everyone because the mental health system combined with the police doesn’t work? He should never have been allowed out of the mental hospital, his own family were warning the police and they never took his guns away. Broken mental health system.
In the meantime in other countries with per capita high ownership in "assault rifles" and guns : Finland, Switzerland, Canada, Austria, Cyprus, Montenegro, Portugal, Germany, Malta, murder rates are low to very low to very very low compared to the USA. It's not the guns or the rifles fault, it's the US society that makes people mentally ill and violent in huge proportions per capita many times more than the cited countries. commented by "THEREALZENFORCE" Also i own many weapons not once have my guns ever said lets go shoot and kill 22 people. Almost like it is the criminals and mental health weird....

90% of non-suicide shootings occur in urban areas of major cities like Chicago, Baltimore and Cleveland. But the media never covers those for some odd reason 🤔
Drive-bys, straight out gang hits and other shootings in the urban areas aren't "armed confrontations" by any means. Simple murder at it's best. Talk about deflection. The inner city victims just don't work with the picture your agenda is trying to put in peoples minds. Just be honest and say you don't care about the minority deaths, we understand.

None of this makes ANY sense...they have known about his house in Bowdoin since the beginning. I assumed the Police/FBI had been "living" in his house since last night, but they are just now raiding his house?? Second, in what universe would they let out an ex-military Firearms expert...who just happens to have been in a Mental Institution??? This is one of the big questions that was raised by reporters today at the news conference earlier today.
1) If you are not blue papered, they can't hold you against your will. 2) it doesn't matter who you are, they cannot hold you against your will. 3) There are only very specific circumstances under which they are allowed to take any weapons you own away from you in the US. 4) There are no "mental institutions" in the US. He was in the psych ward of a hospital. Even when you enter voluntarily, you can only stay 7-10days per insurance. Then you're prescribed what is called "In&Out Patient Treatment." However, many people begin to see their symptoms subside with the use of medication & falsely believe that means they are "better" or "cured" and so they stop taking the medication. And this is what happens.
@@anissaroberts1403 Would it make you feel better if I called it a Mental Health Facility...with many of my friends/family working in healthcare I could go on for days talking about the rise of mass shootings due in part to the closure of "mental health facilities" over the last 40+ years. The point is the system is BROKEN. Here you had a 20-year military firearms expert hearing voices telling him to go and shoot up a nearby US Army Base (actually National Guard Base in Saco ME), and for that, he was sent to a mental health facility for 2 weeks and released. The system is broken and for that reason, this was an accident waiting to happen. Give weapons to Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook/Newtown CT) and it should not be a surprise to get a very similar outcome. In BOTH Robert Card and Adam Lanza's cases these were clearly accidents waiting to happen...and sadly they did. Yes, I know how the system insurance/meds work or doesn't work now...the real problem is there's very little will to change it. Until that happens we will all continue to hear about these terrible tragedies into the future.
Card was known at both places so the motive would be personal BUT remember hes hearing voices. Motive is one crazy ass smart mof whos cheese has slipped off his cracker. Life crashed on him 😪
I hope the news team brings in John Miller again for analysis, regularly. He is clear-spoken, precise, articulate, and sticks to the relevant facts that we are all desperate to know. Very knowledgeable.
Maybe, although murder in general is far more common in Democratic cities and we see all the Democrat kids at fancy colleges are pro-terrorism/murder by Hamas so there are crazy people in both parties.

My. nephew had those things happen to him. He went to his wife's home when her parents where there. He was a sweetie just crying so father in law called police, he got charged with attempted break in.. he was crying in mania wanting to talk to her..yreh is scary seeing someone like that but he was never violent or aggressive..the police are not the solution. So he went home after bailed out. after couple weeks still manic, no health care. In court he is charged and going to prison. Why??? Father in law would not drop charges bc in TX men do not cry and steal men send weaker men to jail bc hey can. Bastards. He was not violent..in court still manic trying to hold it tougher with pills he had now. So he did not shoot others, he took his friends gun and shot himself. Guns kill ppl bc without them they would have to make other choices that are not so easy and final.
