Maine's mass shooter found dead
Maine's mass shooter found dead
Hundreds of state and local police and federal agents have been involved in the search for suspect Robert Card since the shootings Wednesday night.
Every time
Every single time
Every time, when the media posts pictures and names of murderers, they help create more copy cats.
I feel like this was an exception to the rule, since he was still at large for a while and it was imperative to the public safety that people knew who he was and what he looked like.
That said, yes, the media does need to pull back on publishing details about the killers in these situations.
At the time, maybe, but he's dead, no reason to keep parading the name and picture around anymore.
Fair
What they need to do is start showing the bodies. Graphic photos. Everywhere we look we should see them.
Therefore we shall have the state enact limits on speech to help suppress it
Better if individuals smash their windows or harass their editors when they try to pee
Quit naming them in the titles! Just let their legacy evaporate.
There's definitely a lot of truth to what you're saying, but it seems like this overall effort is an attempt to shift attention away from gun control and focus on individual culpability.
You give meaning to your username
And nothing of value was lost.
I mean, sure would have been nice to have a living suspect for the criminologists or psychologists.
bunches of those in prisons already though.
It really disappoints me to see people say this when the dude clearly had mental issues, potentiated by the Army. It clearly says that the dude was hearing voices and wanted to shoot up a military base and everyone was like " 🤷♂️ let's throw him in a psych ward for two weeks, that will fix the issue".
Dude didn't get the help he needed, that was someone's child too....
He got all the help anyone could give him. We simply can't cure "I'm hearing voices and want to kill people" in a couple of weeks.
What we can do is ensure that it's not cheaper, faster and easier to go on a killing spree instead of recovering.
But that might impact the profits of the gun lobby, so they insist we instead cure every single person of every single mental health problem before they kill people with their legal guns.
So were the 18 people that fucking died. I get it, all the bleeding hearts need to help every wounded animal they find, but for fucks sake, how many chances do we give murderers and rapists? How many people have to die so that one can get the help they need. As a world, as a species, we have to learn when it is OK to let the wounded animal die. Not every choice has a perfect answer, but letting this asshat off himself instead of hoping that we can fix him and he won't do it again is the better answer. There is now a 100% chance that he won't kill anyone, and that's a much better chance than we'd have if we sent him off to a shrink and locked him up in a broken prison system.
Except 18 innocent lives?
Please don't twist my words.
These maga-cult psychos should kill themselves first and go on the killing spree second. Ban guns.
Until next time. Stay safe out there guys.
Same time next week?
Same Bat channel?
Fucking called it.
glad to hear that he's not at large - but it's unfortunate he wont be forced to stand trial and brought to justice for his crimes.
I'm fine with taxpayers not having to pay to jail him for decades.
I’m all for archive links and all, but what the fuck is this:
Where is the article
Sorry, I just fixed it
What a coward... I regret not being able to give him his day in court and hold him in a concrete box for the rest of his long life.
This is a bad take, the dude was fucked in the head from the war and other stuff. It's not necessarily his fault, he didn't get the help he needed.
When something like this happens people always blame the guns or the guy, but this guy clearly had issues that everyone was like 🤷♂️. He then goes out and kills 18 people then himself, and people demonize him as if there were no other warnings. He was fucked from the beginning.
This isn't someone that was like "I wanna kill all gays/muslims/Democrats/etc..." he was just fucked in the head.
Edit: it seems the Reddit downvoting hive mind has followed us here. I wrote pretty much the exact same comment elsewhere in here and it gets 20 up votes, yet this has is at -14
Yet it's still the guns, be it in the hands of an officially mentally ill person or someone who's undiagnosed but can't descern reality from fiction none the less.
Assault weapon ban goes into effect, mass shootings drop drastically.
Assault weapons ban is allowed to expire, it goes up north of 200%.
Assault weapons are revered like Jesus himself and mass murder scenarios suddenly happen every goddamn week.
The prevalence of weapons and free availability of them to virtually anyone, be they mentally ill or fundamentalist radicals, is the direct cause of this getting so out of hand.
Not mental illness or healthcare.
Mental illness exists everywhere.
Mass shootings (and probably any shootings) on the scale and regularity like in the US do not exist anywhere else.

Man, you'd think they would have better audio for something like this...
Maybe this one's a bit better; https://www.wmtw.com/article/live-updates-lewiston-maine-mass-shooting-robert-card-october-27/45662444

CBS News had also learned that investigators had located the suspect's cellphone and were trying to crack it and pore over his online activity,
interesting spelling
oh wow TIL.
Still feels weird though.
