    Still at large? Maybe they can take him out with some thoughts and prayers. This shit needs to stop. People can't even live their lives because sick assholes like this keep doing this shit.

    Also, ex-wife filed a restraining order against him. He was also arrested on numerous occasions for domestic violence and other offenses.

    I don't think that's the same guy, that source seems questionable.

    Yeah, could be different. Those pictures weren't there when I first looked it up. Then a bunch of posts and sites were crashing... Probably getting hit hard.

    "He was sectioned after saying he was hearing voices, and threatening to shoot up the National Guard base in Saco, Maine."

    Ummmm... Reasonable gun laws and regulations might have prevented this shooting.

    Maine has a law that allow police to remove guns from people deemed dangerous to themselves and others.

    It probably doesn't get used on police and military very often though, would be my guess.

    Sounds like he was hearing voices and was actually committed to a mental institution over the summer, then got out.

    He thought the bowling alley owner was spreading some sexual rumors about him or something.

    This is a social problem, IMO. And it won't get better until we address it like one.

    Making any assumptions about a motive and what he "thought" seems a bit premature to me, since he's still on the run..

    His prayers aren't going to change anything. Of course he's not taking questions. The republicans in Congress want to pretend this didn't happen.
