So you lose a bunch of money at a casino, and you decide you are going to shoot up a bunch of country music fans?

[mikeandike]

Maybe he was blowing money because he new his life would end soon. You can’t take it with you.

At this point after Comey, i have ZERO confidence in any damn thing the FBI is involved in.
The magic negro politicized the agency.
Clintons,holder,lynch,etc should be in prison BUT the FBI covered for em.
Worthless hacks.

ISIS knows the FBI will try to discredit them so why don't they have a video of the shooter confirming he was part of ISIS that they can post on Youtube after the shooting?

[Robert DeLong]

Not all who snap do something without planning. I am not talking temporary insanity, I am talking about a burden he carried became too much (in his mind) & he sought to lash back. In his case he wanted to go out with a big event that wold leave a lasting impression of him. Most likely directed at one person in particular. Not saying you are not correct, just saying that I believe we will find out there was a trigger that finally set him in motion to commit this heinous act. One thing is for certain, he did plan it out, and part of his plan was his taking of his own life after inflicting as much pain on as many as he possibly could.

Since he chose to do this when his girlfriend took off for the Philippines it may involve her, such as she told him she was leaving him. We know he was a high-roller but not sure how he had fared with that over time, but I doubt that really played a part. It had to be something on a more personal basis, in my opinion.

An Israeli source listed the shooter’s Islamic name as Samir al-Hajib.

[JimRed]

That may be it. Maybe he was a leftist who hated Trump and his supporters?

But that kind are not typically willing to trade their own life for the lives they want to take.

The press and FBI quickly jump to conclusions if they feel a killer is a conservative... same with hoaxes against conservatives before they're debunked.

And while the hoaxes run on page one and the editorial page, retractions if ever forthcoming are on page 47, bottom.

[GOPJ]

Yes - you know who they are... retractions bottom left page 4...
