Sniper shoots up country music festival, +50 dead

[furrowtickler]

Well Biglentil I did some searching and a lot of things don't add up . Scary stuff if true . No gun fire ever seen from the top floors but lots of first hand video showing flashes from that 5 th floor area. The official story seems off kilter for sure.
Now the MSM reporting he had 23 guns in his room , really ?? And no one noticed a thing ??

Lots of details and rumours need to be investigated and confirmed yet.
Was he radicalized like his partner?
Sounds like his father was a career criminal.

Why was the shooter targeting young country music fans? (mainly Conservatives)

If only Paddock had been Muslim. Then America could have rose up in anger against an enemy. The president could have tweeted about terrorists and the lack of protection for citizens as he did after London and Paris etc. Republicans could have called for more limitations on immigrants, more guns for protection of US citizens, and created more hate for liberals.

But instead Paddock was white, with no known political or religious affiliations. So instead, the tin foil hat crowd resort to innuendo and unsubstantiated rumors to try and sell fear. It had to be a conspiracy. There had to be other gunmen. Paddock was a patsy. etc etc. Nothing proven. Only evidence is unsourced claims and grainy videos which easily could have been edited. But hey, as long as it is on the internet and supports your pre conceived biases and beliefts, it has to be true right and all the police/FBI/and even victims of the shooting are just fake news, right

So lets just suppose for a moment that your conspiracy claims are all true. Who really would have benefitted the most from the shooting. Some dark, jewish, world order as claimed by some? Or what about gun manufactures and investors who would have made millions on increased gun sales? Why are they not now the focus of your conspiracy theory?

I really don't know whether to laugh at those making such outrageous claims now coming out. Or cry for the ignorance of those making the claims.

The world according to Agriville:

After reading this thread, I just want to make sure I am understanding what most posters seem to believe.

If a shooter is Muslim, the religion is to blame....
If a shooter is black, race is to blame....
If a shooter is white, he is a mentally ill victim of a leftist conspiracy.

Is that right?

By the way, I want to thank the last few posters for proving my understanding of the mindset of many on this forum was correct

Well dlm, you might be right.

But tell us what you make of this video -

Also, what is your take on the reports that someone ran through the crowd 45 minutes before the incident saying that "you're all going to die!"

In your wisdom, you must have a response.

Oh for f*ck sakes! Just because you read some sensational tidbit on the interweb, doesn't mean it is true. Quit spreading this crap.

Housekeepers were in that room but never noticed anything unusual. Really? Maybe hid them in his ten heavy suitcases. Furrow, he must have shot from 32 floor because cops were on 31 and the shooting was overhead.

Over 87% of Indonesians are Muslim, just saying.

What is really sad is the desperation from some on here, and in the wider world, that the shooter be proven to be a muslim or have muslim terrorist links. Really? give your heads a shake. To get joy out of such a revelation makes you pretty sick as well.
