What Robert Card's Social Media Reveals About Maine Mass Shooting Suspect (here it comes - ‘liked a number of posts from right-wing and conservative figures’)
Newsweek ^ | October 26, 2023 | Aliss Higham

The person of interest in the Maine mass shooting on Wednesday evening liked a number of posts from right-wing and conservative figures, according to screen grabs from his social media accounts.

Maine State Police have published the identity of a person of interest in the major incident. Robert Card, 40, was described by police as a firearms instructor believed to be in the Army Reserve and assigned to a training facility in Saco, Maine. He remains at large and is said to be "armed and dangerous."

Card's Facebook and X, formerly Twitter, accounts have now been deactivated. It is unclear if Card was responsible or if they were suspended by X and Meta. According to screen grabs and videos from what is allegedly Card's Facebook page, he finished a 20-year career in the army earlier this year. Newsweek is unable to verify this information at this time.

A video of Card's X account, using the username @RobertC20041800, shows he was interested in right-wing figures. His "liked" tweets include content published by Donald Trump Jnr., Tucker Carlson and Dinesh D'Souza. He also liked tweets by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan, according to the screenshots.

Card liked a tweet from the former president's son regarding trans and non-binary "mass shooters" from March this year, which reads: "Given the incredible rise of trans/non-binary mass shooters in the last few years… by far the largest group committing as a percentage of population… maybe, rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullsh*t on our kids?"

Another tweet he liked, from Tucker Carlson…reads: "The trans movement, it turns out, is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy. People who believe they're God can't stand to be reminded that they're not."

It's the dream of every college professor to retire to the sticks with his/her new Subaru.

There are many of them in the ‘faculty parking’ lots on campus, too

I always liked the Subaru commercial with the woke hitch hiker getting a lift from the guy in the new Subaru.

The woke hitch hicker took a long, admiring look around at the interior then said something like, ‘Maybe I need to change my major from urban studies to engineering’. It was great

So what happened overnight? Sounds like he was neutralized somehow...

Forgive my morbid curiosity, but how did it end, and... how many people did he murder, etc?

“Perfect subject for the FBI to manipulate...”

My first thought as well. Biden/Obama crimes getting ready to be glaringly exposed. McCarthy, who was doing his best to cover for them, is deposed. Ghastly attack on Israeli citizens. The hardnose constitutionist Johnson named as Speaker. Must have been too much for the swamp that is use to pushing our side around. The already-conditioned Card is put to work.

Yet he’s killing people who likely live and vote conservative.

"What is the connection between bowling alleys and politics?"

More salt-of-the-earth, middle American conservatives in a bowling alley as opposed to say... a Starbucks. A deranged "right wing" shooter, one might think, would target an establishment frequented by more leftists, antifa types. Perhaps?

Why do we see more about his “tweets” than what he did on Wednesday night. I didn’t see a thing about that nor did I hear anything on any news about a MASS SHOOTING in Maine.

The common theme in ALL MASS SHOOTINGS is “previously identified mental illness, and release, and known to LEO.”

It added that law enforcement said Card “recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME.”

The bulletin said Card was reported to have been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks this summer and then released. NBC News has not been able to independently verify the bulletin’s statements about Card’s history.
