On October 25 the country watched in horror as Robert Card gunned down too many people in Lewiston, Maine, killing 18 of them before disappearing into the night. He left police to conduct a search for him lasting two days until his body was finally located in a shed where he had taken his own life. It’s probably easy enough to think of Card as a monster, but it turns out that when he wasn’t flying off the rails he had friends just like everyone else. Some of those friends had noticed his increasingly erratic behavior and become worried. One of them, self-described as his “best friend” did more than just worry. He contacted their Army supervisor warning him that something bad was probably going to happen. In fact, he texted a message specifically saying, “I believe he’s going to snap and do a mass shooting.” Yet nothing was done until it was too late. (AP)
