Active shooter in Las Vegas

[Pavlov]

A very narrow theory if you want to call it that. I don’t have a theory on his motive.

What actual evidence makes you think he is leftist?

[Pavlov]

I'm sure eventually people will find reasons to believe he was a leftist while other people find reasons to believe he was a conservative. Or failing that, they'll just make up like they always do, and plenty of people will go along with it because thats what they want to believe.

But none of it matters as much as his access to a ridiculously large arsenal of ridiculously powerful weapons and his ability to use it before he was caught.

No, it's his ability to go up 32 floors.

[clambake]

my theory is that he hates people.

[DMC]

My guess is he had more than one fantasy and if he somehow got out of the hotel he could go on with one involving bombs. OTOH he had a few days to plant it if it was part of the window shooting; maybe he just didn't find a good spot. He had to change plans before.

You put ammonium nitrate with tannerite, you're creating a bomb. The car was the bomb. He just needed to shoot it. That's assuming the binary had been mixed.

He was with a non-white woman.

I read in several sources the fertilizer was in the car and the Tannerite at his home, so I'm not sure if he just forgot something or the fertilizer was just part of another contingency.

Lots of people have tannerite, You can buy it online and have it shipped. It's not illegal to transport until its mixed. 50lbs is a lot, but not an absurd amount if it's still in the binary form. If he mixed it, that's the tell tale. If not, he's just a gun nut with binary explosives.

[DMC]

There's also the possibility that the dude was trying to make his own binary explosives. He had half the ingredients in the ammonium nitrate.

I haven't seen any such details, so barring new ones I'm just going with an aborted/secondary plan for explosives.

Do they normally do that in their magazine after claiming a convert pulled off an attack? According to the reporter they rarely make false claims.

But they have and this is the worst shooting in modern US history with enough of an information vacuum that's incredibly easy to fill with newsletters or message board posts or YouTube videos. Why pass up that opportunity?

The crime itself doesn't seem too ISIS-y and I'm sure all his communications are being reviewed. ISIS is also free to drop more details too if they have them.

[Spurminator]

Yeah no reason for ISIS not to release all of their information as proof. Doing so only helps their cause. They haven't had to do it in the past when their claims have been confirmed by intelligence. It's different here because there is legitimate skepticism.

We'll see.

I don’t follow ISIS messageboards. What have you read on their message boards?

I don’t keep track of what they do/don’t do after claims just found it interesting for this lady to say pump the breaks on dismissing it.

It was an interesting thread, I read it earlier today. I'm still skeptical but ultimately undecided until it's confirmed.

[TSA]

If it was ISIS inspired what are the odds the public would be told? No reason to boost ISIS cred.

I am talking about any message board. ar15.com filled the vacuum. Facebook and YouTube posts filled the vacuum. Alex Jones filled the vacuum. We're filling the vacuum with our speculation, myself included. I just take my speculation and that of others with a grain of salt.
