The suspect is believed to be Robert Card, a 20-year US Army veteran from Bowdoin Center, Maine.
(according to Telegrams so take with grain of salt)
EDIT: Name confirmed by news.

According to law enforcement, CARD recently reported mental health issues to include hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME.
Not yet. White army dude so it's either some guy that america broke yet again or he's a nazi with a manifesto, one or the other.
What's the difference?
American society seems to put so much pressure and anger inside people that they utterly break.
Nazis on the other hand haven't been broken by a societal design that drives people to want to die and to want to take as many people with them as possible. They are ideological true believers that fully believe their acts are accelerating the move towards their fascist goals and are willing to die for it.
I think this one is starting to look like mental health rather than ideology as he's reported hearing voices, added some more info to the OP.
What’s the difference?
Really?
I'm saying a "Nazi with a manifesto" falls pretty squarely into "person that America broke"
squares and rectangles. plenty of ways to break without becoming a nazi
I suppose you have heard of not all broken people are assholes, but all assholes are broken people? Same thing here. All broken vets are not nazis.
You on the other hand have proven yourself a rather clear asshole.
That's way more agressive and harsh then what they said deserved.
I don't disagree that there's a difference between between what was phrased earlier as someone broken by America and a Nazi, but no reason to get that angry over someone asking what the difference is, or not caring so much about the difference when they kill a bunch of people
Go back to reddit, if youre in the military for 20 years youre not a good person even if youre some pog who doesnt do shit. I can understand ppl who do a contract even two and then get out but 20 years is a long time. Too much to not be a brainwormed imperialist
I don't understand how you're getting that from my comment? I didn't say that all "broken vets" are Nazis?
Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles.
