Of course there was no evidence of any Moslem component. Nothing is permissible to construe as evidence of Islamic involvement in violence or lawbreaking.

If this is related to Antifa it will take longer for it to come out than if it is Moslem and will be denied more vehemently when it does..

"Allegedly registered D in Fla."

Do you have a link? I have searched the internet everywhere. I found a total blackout about his voter registration. Questioning his voter registration must be considered badthink by the MSM.

Housekeeping claims he was on a winning streak the last 3 days.

So they were in the suite repeatedly for three days and didn't notice the alleged arsenal? That's a lot to stuff to hide.

There were two gun shops- one only sold him a shotgun and some other minor weapon or item.

The other- Guitars and Guns or some such name, didn’t say what they sold to him but did admit he was a customer. Since they were less talkative he probably bought the items used in the attack from them.

He appears more like the Bernie Bro who shot up Steve Scalise and the baseball practice in DC.

"I think he was a deeply troubled person with serious issues that will come out that triggered him to snap like a twig in a hurricane."

I disagree. With all the planning and logistics being involved, this guy's brain did not just wake up psycho one morning. This was as well planned as anything the Jihadists would do. Not saying he is of their ilk, but he put a lot of thought into this, and had a specific date and target in mind.

Personally, I think he is just one more crazed anti-Trumper.

“Wealth” in this case ( I believe ) translates to a “high roller”. That is, he dealt in wealth but with great risk. This is in fact a syndrome ... “doubling down” ... You keep raising the stakes, so you can exhibit the apparent fruits of wealth at increasing levels until your obligations catch up with you. It’s an old story, and I surmise that it is the story in this case, as I’ve posted earlier.

“I’m betting it was a leftist, probably belonged to antifa, and wanted to kill right wing folk.”

No, the narrative is of a middle aged millionaire white man ironically killing a bunch of Trump supporters with the evul muhsheen guns.

Lone gunman killed 37 people in a casino in Manila in June and Isis took credit for that . The P I government said isis was not responsible and that it was the lone gunman.

I totally agree. Way more hardware than he needed but a large suite would help with storage

And they “think” with their often volatile feelings.

“Why target a concert? He didn’t target the offices of a casino where he had been gipped...”

I see a possible pattern. A concert in England was also targeted not that long ago. By Islamics.

This man’s father was also messed up in the head according to a report yesterday — one of the FBI’s most wanted.

So he had that as a role model [unless debunked], and I wouldn’t rule out Islam.

“The fact that he was blowing money at the casinos makes me think he was just a mental case”

Or he knew he was going to die soon.
