    It sounds like the whole community knew, given the reports that everybody in town knew to avoid the guy. It’s just our society and legal system makes it everybody’s responsibility to deal with it, and near-impossible to actually do anything useful, which in practice means it’s nobody’s responsibility. Kind of like climate change, or car crashes.

      And even more info on this guy was on the news today, saying some people knew he would eventually “become a mass murderer,” and had warned about it long before it happened. Maine has among the loosest gun laws of any state in our nation, and now they are realizing what can happen when you don’t regulate weapons and let them flow like water. And it’s only the beginning of this mass murder craze - this will be the worst year in history for it.
