To be clear, he is most likely little spoon. 51°F

In America?

Ha. The guy had 5 of them and I picked the one that was newest/lightest. The older ones were like 25 lbs.

My town announced it's banning gas-powered lawn mowers in 2025. People are losing their shit and it's hilarious. There was a barn sale up the street last weekend and I picked up one of these for $5. Gonna clean it up/sharpen it. I've been gradually shrinking my lawn footprint and replacing with native species and food-bearing plants, so this will work just great for what I have left. Barn sale had a scythe, too, but the wife said no, unfortunately.

I think that's typical for him the last few winters.

Similar story. People feed fox. Fox becomes comfortable around people, approaches them for food. Fox likely euthanized. I did laugh at one of the comments "my tax dollars at work" - I'm all against wasteful government spending but in this case...eh... sorry about your $0.00001 pal.

Spot on, the bold part especially. This is what gets miscommunicated and misinterpreted in the overall planet stewardship message. If everyone consumed a little less it would go along way. Human consumerism is and has been out of control. It used to be unique to America but now it's global. Everything has to be new - either by personal choice or capitalist design - and only in small pockets are things reused consistently. Electronic products, toys, clothes, and literally everything we consume. We've been conditioned that way for a few generations now. You feel like if you don't consume the way others do, you're missing out, or your kids are missing out. When in reality a lot of it is materialistic, meaningless bullshit. Fine, don't go full green. At least try to consume less - one less red meat meal a week, restore/repair/reuse things as much as you can instead of just trashing it, turn down shitty plastic made-in-China trinkets your corporate office insists on giving you as "thanks" for helping their profitability last quarter when in reality the Executive Team's wives just got another 200 cc's pumped into their chest and a new Range Rover; don't give into every demand your kid makes just because their little snotrag friend from class says he has a personal alexa, iphone, ps5, beats headphones and you dont want them to be left out - whatever, anything. Or don't, because freedom or whatever

Sounds like if they thought he was a dangerous threat, they should have taken him into custody and have him undergo a medical evaluation, and then have a judge approve an order to take his guns temporarily. Put aside that misstep for a second.... Those are some BIG steps between threat and action and based on some assumptions that are not necessarily slam dunks. That assumes he's going to willingly be taken into custody, be honest in his medical evaluation, then wait enough for it to go through a judge, and then willingly allow them to take away his war machine. They 100% should have pursued getting him in custody. But even if they had, it's not a guarantee this would have been prevented. There are other steps that can be taken at a local level to help prevent this shit in the future. My college roomate, lifelong Mainer and dear friend wrote this Thursday morning when he got off his shift at CMMC after seeing 15 patients come into his ER with bullet holes in them. I find it to be a reasonable starting point. https://www.pressherald.com/2023/10/29/commentary-maine-wasnt-different-when-it-came-to-guns-we-were-just-lucky/

No, it hasn't. That's your perception. Fact is you're much more likely to die in a vehicle then you are from gun violence, and even less so a victim of a home invasion. Is this a Saturday morning routine? Going hunting or to the range? Or are you just another soft-as-baby-poo fake tough guy who gets scared of everything they see on the TV and internet?

Self inflicted gunshot wound. Dumpster near or at his old employer, ME Recycling.

Yes. Good point. As an 8th(?) grader that was real and mortifying to watch transpire.

Rest in piss you cowardice piece of dog shit.

30 min? JFC. He gon

it's unreal, and makes it so hard for families to feel any sense of closure with this guy still free. I've yet to see the official timeline of police response, but I imagine they were 5+ minutes behind him by the time they found his vehicle. that's an eternity and plenty of time for him to escape by vehicle.

81/57 roofers and pavers rejoicing

My sincere condolences.

I honestly think they're doing that to rule out him being dead there before they admit they don't have a fucking clue where he is.

I agree. I think they've been behind since the start. I said this last night, too, but I do think he was in and out at both establishments. Mass shooters typically stick around trying to inflict as much damage as they can before they flame out, one way or another. This guy didn't. So fucked up.

No school again today. I wonder how long they'll keep the shelter in place order? Hunting season starts tomorrow. Are they going to advise against it? It would appear the guy is long gone, or, if he's still local, has no interest in giving up his location by killing again. Police are being tight-lipped about leads, as they should be. If the best they could muster was surrounding his dad's house last night, they must not have a lot at this point. Listening to the scanner Wednesday night they seemed disjointed and slow to react - but I'm not a LEO nor do I fully understand what a quick response sounds like - so just my $.02. I imagine it's not easy in a small town with lots of adjacent rurality. Further distances between LEO's, less man-power, well-lit surfaces, cameras. All of it's so crazy and makes finding closer for victims and families that much more daunting. Fukin sucks.

As far as I can discern, he was quick at the bowling alley. Didn't pursue anyone. Quickly got to the bar, and quickly left. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think he had time to target individuals, but the locale's were def targeted. If he's still alive, it seems he'd rather get away vs. give up his location by striking again (at least for now). Total guess.

Or dead

Agreed

Hopefully he's semi-paralyzed floating in a body of water suffering immensely.
