I was in Lewiston about 3 hours before the shootings.
Ate at McDonalds about 3 miles up the road from the restaurant that was attacked

This could go either way. Activated an asset or complete patsy. Don't be naive. Sometimes that happens. Doesn't take much.

Lewiston Maine is the second largest city in Maine with a population of 37,000. The whole state in 2022 had 29 homicides. That is one small state.

Lewiston is known for the second Ali Sonny Liston fight.

22 killed that was reported immediately and hasn't changed. Is this # significant? 33 would have been too obvious.

I've actually thought about this scenario. It would be very easy for a gunman to enter the bowling alley where I bowl at and do what this guy did. Of course it could happen in any business environment, even my own office. In my mind, I've thought about what to do if I ever found myself in this sort of a situation, what would I do, where would I go. At the bowling alley, it would depend what section of the building I'm at. Where I bowl, Lanes 15 through 20 are around the front door. Lanes 1 through 10 are by the side door. These doors are always open and anyone can enter. the higher end of the lanes has no exterior entrance or exit, outside of a fire door in the back. If an event happens at my office, the best I could do is either hide under my desk, or run to the back fire door. I've always thought to always be aware of your surroundings at all times.

On the news, one guy who was at the bowling alley ran down the lane, hit the deck, slid to where the pins were and climbed up on top of the machinery to hide.

Wrong # dead reported and no police interaction despite 3 kill locations and escaped yet they know who it is and knew it instantly. Perhaps the screenshot at the Mr. Bowling alley is enough. Perhaps its something else.
 

Almost Allright

GO Bucks!!!

As ridiculous or I guess as sad as it is to think this way; I have stopped wearing flip flops to large outdoor gatherings.

You have a chance 1 or 2 shooters. No chance if it is Hamas style. And forget about LE saving you. Every John and Jan Rocker for theyselves.

This is pathetic and the media are pretending not to notice another LE Joey bag of no nuts. Becoming a pattern. They did nothing. They literally did nothing.
