The delicate tissue sheaths that insulate each biological circuit lay in “disorganized clumps,” & throughout #RobertCard’s #brain there was scarring & inflammation suggesting repeated #trauma.
This was not #CTE, the report said. It was a characteristic pattern of damage that has been found before in #military #veterans who were repeatedly exposed to #weapons #blasts during their service.

His brain was sent to a #Veterans Affairs laboratory in Boston that is known for its pioneering work documenting chronic #traumatic #encephalopathy, or #CTE, in athletes.
Acc/to the lab’s report, prepared on Feb 26 & updated on Wednesday, the white matter that forms the wiring deep in the #brain had “moderately severe” damage, & in some areas was missing entirely.

The #gunman, #RobertCard, was a #grenade instructor in the #ArmyReserve. In 2023, after 8 yrs of being exposed to thousands of skull-shaking blasts on the training range, he began hearing #voices & was stalked by #paranoid #delusions. He grew increasingly erratic & #violent in the months before the Oct rampage in #Lewiston, in which he killed 18 people & then himself.

"In addition to his own relatives, law enforcement officials & govt agencies also expressed anxiety about #RobertCard and the possible risk he posed to others, long before police say Card gunned people down in a bowling alley and a bar Wednesday in #Lewiston.
...In September, the local sheriff’s office received a letter saying that a soldier who served with Card in the Army Reserve believed that Card might “snap and commit a #MassShooting ”"

As I read about the man "missed red flags" AP finds in the case of Maine mass shooter Robert Card — multiple reports of concerning incidents over a considerable period of time with, as CNN is reporting "lack of follow-through," I wonder if, had Card been a Black man, say, or a man with immigrant background and not a white GOP-supporting man who was a Sergeant First Class in the Army Reserves, so many warning signs would have been missed.

Robert R. Card, l'homme qui est à l'origine de la tuerie du Maine, serait un trumpiste convaincu, dont les convictions seraient apparentées à l'extrême-droite.

Je vais faire preuve d'un peu de nuance tout de même en soulignant que 57% des hommes blancs des USA ont voté pour Trump aux dernières élections (https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/06/30/behind-bidens-2020-victory/).
Reste à confirmer son niveau exact de virulence et d'intoxication et de savoir si la propagande d'extrême-droite a contribué à son attentat d'une quelconque manière (au-delà de ses problèmes de santé mentale, on sait qu'il en avait de très sévères), mais jusqu'à maintenant, ça regarde pas ben.

@thor Yeah there was an analyst/guest on #NewsNation's #Cuomo show speculating that #RobertCard might have been rejected by a crush or something
Completely disagree with that assessment, I would expect that someone who did a shooting in response to that would do more targeted attacks than shooting large groups of random people in generalized areas not particularly habited by people in narrow or precisely defined demographics.
Like wasn't that incel shooting of a nail salon targeted by someone due to sexual frustration or addiction or something?

After executing search warrants at a residence on Meadow Rd in #Bowdoin, #Maine, #law enforcement departed the scene at about 9PM Thurs without announcing any findings.
During the search, announcements over a loudspeaker instructed someone to come outside with their hands up. Those are standard when executing a #warrant, police said.
