Damn video games at it again!

I thought it’s all the drag queen’s fault these days?
These fuckin men dressin’ as ladies, minding their own business! Destroying this great country!
I have a teacher who’s a super trump supporter anf says shit like this unironically. One of his favorite movies is Rocky Horror Picture Show, and I think that’s just one of the funniest things.
Fuck me man. 22 dead now.
They’re saying three locations so far, but I’m only seeing details for two: Schemengees Bar and Grille (restaurant) and Sparetime Recreation (bowling alley).
Scrolling through different news channels, the only update I’ve heard in the last 45 minutes is the count update from 16 to 22.
They’ve released an images of the shooter and of his vehicle, a Subaru Outback (kinda silver/white).
Photo I saw was from the bowling alley. Jesus

Lewiston public information officer Derrick St. Laurent told the Sun Journal at about 8:15 p.m. that another shooting had been reported at the Walmart Distribution Center on Alfred A Plourde Parkway.
Third location is allegedly a Walmart distribution center
Wait a shooting? Quick someone get the Constitution back out after we shelved it to stop women from driving on roads and other religions to exist!
The guy is white. When do we start hearing something about “mental health care” that nobody will do anything about?
To be fair, the guy did actually self checkin to a mental facility this summer for two weeks and was released. Additionally, Maine is a yellow flag state where firearms can be taken away via a mental health review.
One of many sources https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/northeast/ap-police-say-theres-an-active-shooter-in-lewiston-maine-and-they-are-investigating-multiple-scenes/
When I searched to see if Maine had red flag laws, all the top results were people opposed to them.
There’s a good chance the shooter was one of them, since it looks like he is a “responsible gun owner” that’s even more “responsible” than most.
Of course, the pro-gun crowd will seethe if you call him that, but the reality is that he had their full support when he bought a semi-automatic weapon. He still had it when he started hearing voices. He still had it when he started prowling the streets in open carry. Fuck, they probably would have given him the benefit of the doubt when he raised it to fire on an innocent person, as long as he was staunch Republican.
But the moment he pulled the trigger, it becomes “Oh that guy? Yeah he was never one of us. Doesn’t count”.
Then they’ll claim its a mental health problem because he had mental health issues and the gun he used to maximise the number of people he killed and wounded had nothing to do with it.
Then they’ll insist that they’ll totally entertain the idea of gun control after a mental healthcare system is built that can cure every single man, woman and child in America of serious mental health problems, even the ones that don’t want care, so completely they can be trusted with guns for the rest of their lives because they’ll never falter and also fuck you we’re not paying for it.
He had mental healthcare.
He also had a legally purchased AR-15.
Do we really need to change our laws because some lone wolf who clearly had no political positions at all totally did not get weaponized by the media and churned through a system that literally hands guns to the mentally ill?

The gun that unmade America was built to address a secret, long-suppressed problem: The American fighting man just wasn’t that good at fighting. And if the AR-15 is so feared these days, it’s because it’s brought that sub-competence to the civilian world, where now literally any idiot can use it to unleash mayhem and death.
Stormtroopers have been dispatched and instructed to exercise extreme caution. They will engage the suspected perpetrator only if absolutely necessary. Priority is to capture and bring the suspect to trial, if possible
It’s up to 22 dead now. Jfc.
Guns are for killing people and semi-automatic guns are for killing lots of people.
