  1. Probably the best seat in the house all things considered. 😉 Pass the torch. Let folks who have idealistic bandwidth spin their wheels trying to reconcile those differences.😁😎
  2. According to this article, it appears that he made threats in the recent past SAYING what he was about to do and the police KNEW about it: Maine Police Knew of Threats Statewide alert had gone out in mid-September Police across Maine were alerted just last month to "veiled threats" by the Army reservist who they said went on to carry out the worst mass shooting in the state's history, one of a string of missed red flags that preceded the massacre. Two local law enforcement chiefs told the AP that a statewide awareness alert was sent in mid-September to be on the lookout for Robert Card after the firearms instructor made threats against his base and fellow soldiers. But after stepped-up patrols of the base and a visit to Card's home—neither of which turned up any sign of him—they moved on. "We added extra patrols, we did that for about two weeks. ... The guy never showed up," said Jack Clements, the police chief in Saco, home to the Army Reserve base where Card trained. Sagadahoc County Sheriff Joel Merry, whose jurisdiction includes Card's home in Bowdoin, said the Army Reserve tipped his department in September to the reservist's threats, and the sheriff sent the awareness alert to every law enforcement agency in the state after his deputy came back empty-handed from a welfare check to Card's home. "We couldn't locate him," Merry said, adding that he couldn't recall if there was any follow-up because "I don't have any reports in front of me." Military officials declined to comment further about Card, specifically whether the threats relayed to the sheriff in September were new or the same ones Card had made during an Army reserve training exercise near West Point, New York, in July. That's when police say Card was committed to a mental health facility for two weeks after acting erratically and "hearing voices and threats to shoot up" a military base. Despite the earlier threats, the FBI said Saturday that Card had not been on its radar, telling the AP it "did not have nor did it receive any tips or information concerning Robert Card." The bureau added that its instant background check system "was not provided with or in possession of any information that would have prohibited Card from a lawful firearm purchase." Maine Police Knew of Threats (newser.com) They didn't "miss" the red flag, they IGNORED it. Walked right past it and kept going to get some Taco Bell, lol. So this clown who threatened a whole MILITARY BASE somehow didn't "make it on their radar"????? Well the question is who the hell IS on their "radar"? Niggaz????? They can find ONE nigga out of 85 in a ski mask who looted a Foot Locker, but can't find a man who threatened a U.S. military base??? A White man doesn't get to be on the damn "radar" until he actually DOES SOMETHING, I guess? So another question is what the hell are they collecting all of this data for if they aren't using it to save even White folks????? See, this is why I said BLACK PEOPLE need to be involved in law enforcement from top to bottom. By bottom I don't mean being the one's arrested, I mean being the actual hands-on officers out in the field all the way up to the top where the decisions are made. Too much shady shit is going on. Even people in other White European nations are scratching their heads trying to figure out...🤔...WTF???
