JFC, these are trying times. I don’t have the words. Here’s a cat picture while I go protect the last remaining vestiges of my sanity.
@COSOCOM more and more school districts in surrounding towns are closing schools for tomorrow, Bowdoin has decided to close, this is the town where Robert Card may live
@dauphin87 They're frantically huddling to see if they can label him transgender or an immigrant. Or Antifa. 🙄
@COSOCOM the manufacturer of fireball (Boston brands) has closed it's plant in Lewiston for tomorrow
Honestly, when I heard of this current shooting in Maine, I was like: " Ho hum, this is boring already. Do something different for attention. I get it. You're white and have the white privilege of having/using your assault rifle to kill, knowing YOU won't be killed by white police. But, if a black/Mexican person stepped up and killed you, terrorist guy, THAT person would certainly be shot/killed by white police. Tell me, who's crazy?
Maine medical center aka Maines largest medical center has alerted on call staff
@COSOCOM
Apparently his Facebook profile has disappeared @COSOCOM
@crazyuncleharris @COSOCOM Scannrr just said possible 2nd person.
Yep. Logistics to deploy a lethally capable force ain't done in minutes
Plus, once they land...they are walking ...unless some local agency supplies them with wheels
Or their own vehicles get there MUCH slower by bigger aircraft than troop carriers
The horrific news coming out of Maine spurred me to look something up.
The terrible events in Isreal have left 8,000 dead, Israeli and Palestinian (source: Google)
In the US before today 15,507 people have died in gun violence. That's NOT counting suicides. This is just counting crimes (source: gunciolencearchive.org).
How safe do YOU feel?
The US is of a size that we don't notice the unbelievable violence we suffer under because it is so diluted in terms of physical space.
