Robert Card is now officially a suspect.

Liam Kent, a Maine resident who is familiar with Robert Card, the person of interest in the Lewiston shootings, said that Card and his family are “gun fanatics.” He also went on to claim that people around town knew to “stay away” from the family.

    At this stage I doubt he’ll be taken in alive but I really hope he gets a chance to publicly profess his support for trump and Q.

    I reckon 50/50 he says trump appeared to him in a dream and told him to do it.

      I also hope he ties himself to the rest of his fellow lunatics, but they’ll simply say he’s a Democrat plant or some shit. “Lone wolf” at the very least. It’s all so tiresome

      Canadian Border Patrol is on the lookout for him as well. Here’s hoping somebody finds him soon.

      I’ve heard that he’d recently lost a job and a girlfriend. The two locations were places they would go together. He may have been looking for her, just lashing out, or both. So it’s entirely possible that his primary motivations were not political.

      Clearly, being mentally unstable can cause you to believe very weird things. When those weird things are even tacitly approved of by people, it’s a lot easier to start believing them, and slide down that rabbit hole. Extremist politics is one of those kind of things.

      He’ll continue describing the dream and how Trump told him the next time/place where JFK will appear. And a bunch of people will show up
