I am amazed at the utter lack of curiosity about the details in this guy's life. He was obviously pretty well off. And this attack was obviously planned. And the target was not just random, but a concert overlooked by the Mandalay. Since the guy obviously planned this, there was a reason for picking that target. Why target a concert? He didn't target the offices of a casino where he had been gipped, or the judges and lawyers in a court of law where he had been wronged, or some IRS agents who performed one too many nasty audits or something. He targeted a concert and expended a fair amount of effort to do that.

Who attacks such symbols of western decadence? Presbyterians? I won't repeat the joke about the Amish, but Unitarians? Well, I can only think of one answer.

And, I am assured that that answer is wrong. So what gives here?

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

I don’t think this had anything to do with islam, or ISIS.

True words

[plain talk]

Well, I can only think of one answer.

We know from recent history that mass murders are not limited to ISIS. Columbine was not ISIS. We have had several such cases. The guy's father was on the FBI's most wanted list. Bad DNA can produce a sick SOB.

Easy access with a high vantage point overlooking a target rich environment ensuring maximum carnage. 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. Proof that wealth is not necessarily the key to happiness.

“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.
