Maine resident: People knew to 'stay away' from Robert Card - eviltoast

Robert Card is now officially a suspect.

Liam Kent, a Maine resident who is familiar with Robert Card, the person of interest in the Lewiston shootings, said that Card and his family are “gun fanatics.” He also went on to claim that people around town knew to “stay away” from the family.

    They immediately released a photo, so it’s not true that they “had no idea” who did it. Everyone knew it was a white middle-aged male. And I don’t recall them saying “we have no leads on this man’s identity”. They simply didn’t want to publicly identify the person in the photo without corroborating evidence.

    decided to slow walk it for at least 24 hours

    Even as we discuss this, it’s been less than 24 hours since the shootings.

    Card was publicly identified by 11pm, about four hours after the shootings.

      You’re right, and I have corrected my comment appropriately. Its point still stands.
