I don’t know if this country will ever truly be ready to have that cultural conversation. I don’t think that people realize that if the US government wanted to take out random civilians, they’d employ drone tactics like they do with Middle Eastern weddings and hospitals. National Guard troops would never have to set foot in someone’s house when they could immolate it with an air strike without even a moment’s notice. Obama’s extrajudicial murders of an American citizen accused of being a terrorism and his 16 year-old son (both occurring in Yemen which we weren’t even at war with) is proof of what the government could have done to MAGA cultists who participated in Jan 6 if they actually wanted to An AR-15 would do nothing to save them from any of that because Waco standoffs would just never happen in the current year.
Ego. Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Someone I went to summer camp with was at the restaurant and is currently in the hospital, this is devastating and everyone is super tense right now. Most local businesses are closed until at least tomorrow. I wish this could lead to actual gun restrictions in this state, but I feel naive even thinking that, there are so many gun obsessed hicks here it’ll never happen
Reginald Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Terrible, awful; And these types of radicalized people are everywhere. This is why I've become a f***ing hermit-- this country takes the joy out of life before you even get a chance to experience it.

What’s usually said in these situations I’m sick of, so I’ll leave it there.
Vermillion Posted October 26, 2023 Author Posted October 26, 2023 @BeenTheShit NY Post is reporting per police scanners that the suspect has crossed into Massachusetts via Interstate 93, though unconfirmed.
Pheromosa Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Can they catch this lunatic already? What happened to shooters killing themselves after
Ms. Togekiss Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 How the **** have they not caught him yet??

He's former military, so he has survival skills that other mass shooters don't have. It'll be much harder to track him down than most.

Americans should be outraged and fully admitting to themselves that our government has totally failed all of us on this issue at this point. I should not be this numb and used to this news popping up anymore. I feel so horrible for all of these victims and their families and friends. It is just so senseless and absolutely evil. This is NOT okay. Yet so many people use tragedies like this to support their pro-gun arguments. I for one advocate for the removal of gun ownership, people are so trigger happy these days it's sad, scary, and irresponsible of our government.

monologueNacafe Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 I’m sure he’s been planning and strategizing for a long time. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes days to apprehend him
Apolonio ₃₄ Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 This is some scary **** he ain’t been caught yet.

Decades of this happening and the concept of a background check is considered controversial?? Americans are truly some of the most selfish people out there. It’s just that much more depressing finding out that people I know and people my friends know we’re shot and killed and our local government will still do nothing to stop it

zz19 Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 I live here in Maine and it’s all anyone has talked about today. It’s crazy he hasn’t been found yet. So many places have closed for the day. Hopefully they find him soon.
rivers Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 I wouldn’t be surprised if they find him dead somewhere. Taking the easy way out
Eóghan Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Maine? Isn't that state fairly liberal and against guns? They should pass laws in that state asap if they can. or they can't because it had to be nationwide? can someone from the US educate me?
