Blame Game: Robert Card!

No one is calling this killer a terrorist. He allegedly supports MAGA.

On Friday, they discovered the body of the white terrorist who massacred multiple people in Lewiston, Maine. While the world is watching the genocide in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, America is still entrenched in the mass murders by firearms.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Janet Mills, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), Sen. Angus King (I-ME), Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) and Chellie Pingree (D-ME) reacted to the mass shooting in usual fashion. Offering prayers, calls for punishment and the usual partisan divide over whether we should continue the status quo or change the norm.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Biden has not confirmed any planned trips to Maine but it is expected.

Eighteen people were killed and thirteen others were injured. Seven were killed at Just-In-Time Recreation, eight were killed at Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant, and three died in a hospital. Four of those killed in the restaurant were deaf, having been participating in a cornhole tournament for the deaf community. Ranging in age from 14 to 76, the dead were all identified on October 27.

At Just-In-Time Recreation: Tricia Asselin, 53; Tommy Conrad, 34; Michael Deslauriers II, 51; Keith McNeir, 64; Lucille Violette, 73; Robert Violette, 76; Jason Walker, 51; Aaron Young, 14; and Bill Young, 44.

At Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant: William Brackett, 48; Peyton Brewer-Ross, 40; Maxx Hathaway, 35; Bryan MacFarlane, 40; Ronald Morin, 55; Joshua Seal, 36; Arthur Strout, 42; Stephen Vozzella, 45; and Joseph Walker, 57.

He did his most deadly damage in a bowling alley.

The junk food media does its best to humanize the terrorist. It is almost like clockwork.

The terrorist supported MAGA or QAnon based rhetoric. 

The terrorist was fired from his job.

The terrorist was dealing with a break up.

The terrorist was hearing voices in his head.

All the ingredients of how they justify white terrorists as being accidental murderers.

According to Wired, right after the shooting, social media platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter were flooded with disinformation about the terrorist. This included false claims from verified premium Twitter accounts that he had been arrested and was no longer at large, or stating inaccurately, based on an arrest for someone else of the same name, that he was arrested in 2016 for possessing and disseminating sexually explicit materials. Some accounts claimed he voted for former U.S. president Barack Obama, or was a supporter of Hamas.

Say it was a Muslim or a Black man.... the narrative would be forcing Black leaders, Muslim Americans and progressives to denounce it and acknowledge extremists within their own ranks.

The innocent lives taken by gun violence.

White terrorists inspired by far right beliefs are never are denounced by MAGA. If they are, they are often called fed or a leftist. 

Most mass shooters get their firearms legally and they use them for one thing: killing as many as they can.

The shootings began at Just-In-Time Recreation, a Lewiston bowling alley, during a youth league event. The shooter used a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Winchester and equipped with an extended magazine and optic. Police received the first emergency calls at 6:56 p.m. EDT. Plainclothes officers using a nearby shooting range also heard the gunshots and responded. The first responding officers arrived at the scene within four minutes of the first call. Seven people were killed at this location.

Shortly after, at 7:08, a second shooting was reported at Schemengees Bar & Grille Restaurant, 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Just-In-Time. Officers arrived at the scene two minutes later. Eight people were killed at this location, seven of them inside the building and the eighth outside. Another three victims died later in a hospital.

At 8:06, the Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office and Maine State Police alerted residents of an active shooter. The sheriff's office also released images of the terrorist inside the bowling alley with a "high-powered assault-style rifle", as well as an image of his 2013 Subaru Outback, warning residents that the shooter was "armed and dangerous".

Possible manifesto or disinformation.

The Central Maine Medical Center coordinated with local area hospitals to take in victims. Several were taken to the Maine Medical Center in Portland, the largest hospital in the state.

The Androscoggin County Sheriff's Office released a photograph of the suspect, a 40-year-old white male, and an intensive manhunt commenced. An arrest warrant was issued, citing eight counts of murder. On October 27, he was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound near a recycling center in nearby Lisbon, where he had recently worked.

The shooting is the tenth-deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, as well as the deadliest of 2023 and the deadliest in the history of Maine.

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC. 

What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

4. Realize - Mind you, that the types of firearms used by shooter are based on capacity which limits the time of reaction. As with rule 3, you have only less than a second to make a reaction when the shooter is set on sights. So there's no real solution to save your life in the event of an active shooter. The best thing to do is understand, that anywhere in the United States could be a target of a mass shooting. Congress isn't doing a damn thing about it.

Biden has another crisis.

The far right often infiltrate protests and cause chaos to paint progressives protests as violent. Even when the far right attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, they believed that far left members infiltrated the mob. Ignore the fact that Washed Up 45 and his allies urged the supporters to come, called for them to protest and told them to not show weakness.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.

You're not safe at home, in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the beach, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the road trip, the natural disasters, the state/federal buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events, the homeless shelter and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.

Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against gun control. They will not relinquish from the narrative. These guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street but balk at the fact Blacks obtain them. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
