Maine State Police documents released Tuesday shed light on why a delusional U.S. Army reservist who killed 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston may have targeted those locations.
Robert Card, 40, was found dead Friday, two days after a rampage that also wounded 13 people and shut down multiple communities during a massive search on land and water.
Three hours after the shooting began, state police interviewed a woman who said Card believed the Just-In-Time Recreation bowling alley, Schemengees Bar and Grille and several other businesses were “broadcasting online that Robert was a pedophile.”
The woman said Card had been delusional since February after a break-up, had been hospitalized for mental illness and prescribed medication that he stopped taking, according to a police affidavit filed in support of an arrest warrant request.
After nothing changed following Sandy Hook I knew nothing ever would. That was confirmed after Uvalde where loads of trained good guys with guns stood by and listened to a massacre unfold.
Fucking greedy conservatives won’t let us have Single-payer with mental health access; dumb fucks won’t let prevent mentally-ill from having easy access to lethally-efficient weapons.
