  1. Another act of gun violence made possible by the second amendment.

    Silence the second: 1.5 sentences of wizened, twee, and evidently dangerous twaddle left by dead ancestors to visit not freedom, but chaos, terror, trauma, death, and misery upon, and paranoia among, their living descendants. Repeal the second amendment because *the second caused this*.

  2. I live about a hour from here. Was on the interstate backed up wayyy back… Maine is a very safe state and EVERYONE KNOWS we all carry here…. We’re very discreet about it and Maine has some of the lowest crime rates and gun violence rates in the entire country if not the complete lowest…. This was just a sad incident that happened, but I would not think of it as being connected to anything happening right now…. Thinking of those injured and those that lost their lives… And really This is exactly why I have a .40cal Glock sitting in a quick release holster on my passenger seat, even for a ride to the gas station.. it doesn’t matter . The US is still a very peaceful place for the most part, and I’d like to think it always will be.. but sometimes wrong time, wrong moment, wrong place… happens and being prepared is better than not..

  3. I literally just Google Mas shootings in USA every day. I'm still waiting for a single day when my search comes up empty. So sad to be a gun-toting american. I'll trade you a capital A on american for your guns.

  4. Yes, and from the same old caucasian guy you cops just hung out with on the roadside, and then took away in the front seat so that you fellow cops could coach him and share stories. Nice. 😡

  5. Let me guess….it's a mental health crisis. He's a poor soul that just lost his way and we need to pray for him not vilify him. 🤦🏾‍♂️

  6. Thoughts and prayers. Sending prayers yada yada yada yada thoughts and prayers

  7. Why do such acts always happen when we are close to election?😕

  8. "Two words, made in America !"

  9. Nice, sounds like MericA needs more idiots with guns.

  10. More senseless gun violence. It's the guns! Strict control is necessary.

  11. Mk ultra working overtime these days

  12. America is a hellhole thanks to the second amendment and the political party that refuses to place sensible limits on its interpretation.

  13. lol clearly an inside intimidation job by the police of maine or powerful people in maine covering their tracks like they did with jfk killer.

  14. What the he'll is happening in our country,this is just madness

  15. Carry a gun, people, in spite of the laws against them in the Marxist northeast.

  16. I truly believe all this violence is bc of violent artists in rap, metal, hip hop and other genres of music

  17. This is so scary makes you not want to leave i hope they caught the right person i pray for those who lost loved ones and those who were injured

  18. People are just resorting to violence quicker then usual, this is why I am keeping my guns. You should too.

  19. No Lester Thank you good sir and please feel free to come into my head to program it with your propaganda when ever your handlers instruct you to be doing so. Once again Thank you Lester Back to you Al

  20. We need maximum penalty without waiting for decades!

  21. Father, I ask that you wrap your arms around our Brother’s/Sister’s and their Families tonight please talk to them and bring guidance into their lives with your Word.. Father, I ask that you please bring healing for their injuries, healing from worry and anxiety, healing from anything else that may bring harm to their body and homes.. Father, I ask that you please provide for any assistance or needs that they may have and I ask that you please bring blessings into their lives so that they may be a blessing for other’s.. In Jesus name, I pray.. Amen!!!

  22. This is sad prayers for you all .

  23. I am in Portland maine working as a traveling healthcare provider, and this was shocking to me… for a moment today, I thought I was back at shock trauma in Baltimore Maryland 😢

  24. Someone wanted someone silenced.

  25. Sounds like a law-abiding gun owners to me

  26. Ban the guns! Americans don't deserve to have guns!

  27. Another American gun enthusiast has a bad day and acts out.

  28. Man, we really need to come up with some laws banning murder

  29. look at those holes, that is not indiscriminant! It's also way to accurate for a cop to do it. looks professional.

  30. Awww man not Maine,Maine is the quietest state

  31. Your country needs a travel alert. Love your guns so much your killing children and innocent people

  32. Where was the good guy with the gun?

  33. I feel bad for the millions of people that think this crap is real.

  34. God Bless the NRA and the GOP.

  35. It's not the gun, it's the people.
    I say that for every mass shooting.
    Everyone have to agree, except for those killed in the shootings.

  36. Mass shooting, again and again and again…

  37. Something seems odd, why alot of shootings lately? Things getting weirder after COVID. It wasn't like this before COVID. Fake news?

  38. what is with news outlets covering nothing but shootings all of sudden? oh ya, anti-gun rally is going on…

  39. Gun violence sucks that's why we need less guns 🙄

  40. These people can't even find Maine on a map

  41. So wierd. When things go bad for Democrat leaders, the target gun rights. And when they target gun rights, number of shootings always rise. It's almost as if…

  42. Another reason ….. why I live in a state where these highways can't connect to. So one yahoo from one state can't just drive here. They need to get on a plane. And if they aren't gone in 2 weeks they're looked at.

  43. It's to dangerous to go anywhere

  44. People can’t handle guns. We’re way too unpredictable. #Amend2A

  45. How many more shooting are needed to do something about control. The vile Republican Party does not care how many men, women, or children die because they do not want to lose their NRA campaign funding. THE GOP ARE MURDERERS.

  46. Phew, imagine that guy didn't have a gun.
    What a world we would live in, huh?

  47. These people nowadays are getting crazier and crazier. You just never know when your card will be pulled.
