Maybe it's Stephen King's books, maybe it's the fact when flying over it, it appears to be about 75% forest and nothing good happens in forests. Maybe it's both. An active shooter hardly eases up my negative stereotype of the place though. Actually it is 90% forest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Appears that there's a massive manhunt (involving 100+ officers) for the shooter with some proper Rambo-type sh*t going down: Quote The man identified as a person of interest in a mass killing in Maine is a firearms instructor trained by the military and was recently committed to a mental health facility, according to a state police bulletin. John Miller, chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst for CNN, described the weapon as an AR15-style rifle with a possible telescopic sight. He noted that the gunman was wearing blue tactical pants with “bulging” pockets, suggesting the possibility that he was carrying extra ammunition Edited October 26, 2023 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has lodged in my brain for nigh on 50 years................Back in the 70's I used to read my old man's Evening News when he'd finished with it and there was a very regular Victor Meldrew-esque correspondent on the Reader's Comments page called Gordon B. McFeeters who lived out by Carricknowe. I've no idea if Mr. McFeeters was real or just a 'ghost reader' invented by some sub-editor but I found his name quite amusing and his letters, bordering on the bursting of blood vessels, were always worthy of reading. Kids playing football in the street, dogshit on pavements, the introduction of one-man buses, the formation of Lothian Regional Council were all targets of his ire. However, a photograph of myself sitting atop the Walter Scott statue during the Edinburgh Festival Cavalcade led to a particularly vituperative rant from GBM and the erection of barriers around Scott's statue by the Council. I reckon social media headsgones would have been right up Mr. McFeeters alley. ETA - Just realised this is the US Shootings thread and my post has zip to do with gun crime. All I can say to make the link is that if Gordon B. McFeeters had ever had access to an assault rifle, the football-in-the-street kids of Edinburgh would have been in grave danger.

I've always felt the same, John Connolly novels with the Charlie Parker character are exactly like that, set in Maine, very creepy and dark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's telling that it has the highest ratio of gunshot deaths being intentional suicide in US. Average for country is something like 30% homicide 65% intentional suicide Maine is 7% homicide, 89% intentional suicide 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr McFeeters is alive and well in Inverness. I recently made the mistake of joining a forum called Next Door, everyone on it is utterly bonkers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
