ME - Lewiston, Mass Shooting, Multiple Scenes - Oct 2023

[QB2022]

It's almost like a last act of terror. Leave the town without any closure as to whether you will ever resurface and when/how.

Me neither. And I have had lots of experiences with wolves in sheep’s clothing, maybe others haven’t…

The father of one of the victims spoke on camera yesterday with Lestor Holt. His son attempted to stop the killer and was murdered. He said it was very painful to be on camera but he wants the killer found.

OMG!!! Horrible. I’m sorry, I didn’t know that. I was referring to neighbours commenting about how he seemed like a great guy, etc… as always happens. I’m sorry.

Exactly. Extensive suicide. He wanted to die and was angry about that, so he decides everyone else should die as well. It's definitely a thing. Quite some literature on it.

If that was his plan (consciously or subconsciously) then he'll go off and make himself as unfindable as possible, to make it so that the maximum number of people are feeling the pain he thinks he was feeling. It's hard to wrap one's mind around it.

Of course, he was deranged, that he has in common with all the mass shooters (most of whom are either suicidal and give evidence of it or might as well be).

Coast Guard deploys ship, plane to search for Maine shooting suspect's boat

A law enforcement source told CBS News that shooting suspect Robert Card's vehicle was found near a boat launch.

www.cbsnews.com

The Coast Guard is now using a response vessel dispatched from Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and a fixed-wing aircraft from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to search the waterways for Card, who is believed to be in a 15-foot lake boat. The search is focused on the northern shore of the waterway.

According to a Maine law enforcement bulletin seen by CBS News, Card has a 2022 Yamaha motorcycle and a 2019 Sea-Doo green boat registered in his name, in addition to the white Subaru. It's not clear if the Sea-Doo boat is the same boat that Card is believed to be in.

Stupid question of the day: Can a motorcycle fit on that kind of boat? And if it could, would the boat operate OK or sink?

Seeing the photos the families picked out is really emotional. The photo of Robert E Violette and his wife Lucille M Violette got me. What an absolute unnecessary end to these innocent people's lives.

I think an electric bike would be more likely. Motorcycles usually require licensing and registration and would've shown up when LE got his vehicle/boat registrations. But if he'd abandoned the boat and continued his flight on a bicycle, on foot, or by some other method, LE would have found the abandoned boat by now, imho.

The other location was county of family members but I wasn’t able to understand specific county.

I think he is alive, and they will find him.

But Gregory Fremin, a retired Houston Police Department captain, told Daily Express US Card is likely hiding in the dense woods of Maine in a makeshift shelter or cave.

He added: "We have to assume he has a plan, he definitely has outdoor survivalist training but he has a limited amount of food and water. There is only so much he can carry before he's going to run out and will have to seek food elsewhere.

"He can probably survive with minimal amounts of food and water for about two weeks."

Yeah, I... after what this dude did, soullessly blowing human beings away with a weapon of war one after another with stone-cold planning and then disappeared for days leaving entire towns in terror, I'm gonna have to say the neighbor's account checks out fine by me.

Ring in on this:

A road motorcycle would be difficult to get aboard a 15-foot boat and the Yamaha registered to him is over 500 pounds wet...and an RV would be heavier and even clumsier to load to a boat.....But a dirt bike or trail bike (motorcycle) are typically not registered because they are not road equipped; don't have license plates and many models would be less than half that weight.

So did he or his relatives own a dirt bike?

So the sketchy neighbor guy was wrong--or worse, lying--when he said a baby was killed.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad of that although that's small consolation amid the horror.

Getting real sick of all these communities having to be strong.

Unless he hid the boat well. I expect anything from these types of people and I think we've seen plenty from them too. Some can be more unpredictable than others. I'll be happy when they find him so people can commence grieving and loving one another.
