Liam Kent, a Maine resident who is familiar with Robert Card, the person of interest in the Lewiston shootings, said that Card and his family are “gun fanatics.” He also went on to claim that people around town knew to “stay away” from the family.

If that were the case, they would have said that there were identified persons of interest that they needed to talk to, without releasing those identities publicly.
No, they knew who these well-known local armed right-wing militia people were, and decided to slow walk it for
at least 24 hoursseveral hours.Some of those who work forces are the ones who burn crosses.
They immediately released a photo, so it’s not true that they “had no idea” who did it. Everyone knew it was a white middle-aged male. And I don’t recall them saying “we have no leads on this man’s identity”. They simply didn’t want to publicly identify the person in the photo without corroborating evidence.
Even as we discuss this, it’s been less than 24 hours since the shootings.
Card was publicly identified by 11pm, about four hours after the shooting.
You’re right, and I have corrected my comment appropriately. Its point still stands.
Police can’t just jump to wild ass conclusions like this. You’re asking for police state tactics here.
