Alleged photo of Card shows him holding an AR-15. "Assault weapons" ban, gun registration, other unconstitutional forms of gun restriction brayed by the leftists/Chardonnay-swilling mommies in 3-2-1....

It's what they do. Never mind the motivations of the killer. The gun is responsible -- not the killer.

I'm not learning anything other than certain Maine-officials love being on national television.

And let's get rid of out-of-control sign-interpreters at press-conferences like this.  It's like I'm watching Cartoona The Cannibal, standing beside every speaker.

The actual law-enforcement authorities seem reassuring, but daunted by the dynamics of the case.  It's credible that Card was 'getting revenge' on his girlfriend more than anything else.

Borrowing Ptarmy's clip from the news article directly:

I take it basic proofreading and continuity are no longer being taught in J-schools along with other key journalistic values like minimizing biases any more?  :thatsright:

And these imbecile propagandists wonder why most of us don't trust a word they say/print...  :whatever:
