Wouldn’t isis claim him even if they had nothing to do with it? Given the size of the attack I would think they would.

His brother said he had no religion, but the brothers don’t appear to have been very close.

I suspect the roommate/girlfriend of Asian decent is a muslim who preyed on/coverted this lonely old guy. I hope they don’t let her go.

Seems like just a week or two ago I heard that ISIS/Taliban/etc put out a warning to all muslims; don’t go to public gatherings in the USA. I guess they meant business. How many of these lone wolf killers have we allowed into our country thanks to the dems and obama, a member of the muslim brotherhood, in particular.

The only way we’ll find out is 1) a toxicology test to determine how much alcohol, prescription drugs and/or illegal drugs he had consumed just before the shootings occurred and 2) did the shooter have access to the Internet and left a “trail” of information indicating what political affiliation he had or whether the shooter had recent marital and/or psychological problems.

The Asian or muslim girlfriend makes me think he was a Democrat driven by Trumps “racism” toward minorities.

There has been a lot of speculation about these events. Unfortunately it gets interpreted by some people as "fact". What evidence do you have to support this suspicion?

..and you couple that with his choice of target, a country music concert attended by a target rich crowd of “racists”.

Arutz say he was recent convert. Many muslims are in fact tutored by the left these days, seeking its umbrella, and vice versa.,

It does not seem the way Islamics would message it in some awkward but sick poetry pushing attack, to emphasis the fatwa, the voice of the kalif incarnated in the dying flesh.

This was a bit more methodical and scientific, very cold.

I say it is antifa.

I have no evidence, only common sense.

This was planned, it wasn’t spontaneous, he chose his target.

Santanic, Hard Rock, concerts all over the place would be far more likely to be attacked than a country venue. The only people in the world who hate country people...

are the LEFT in the US!

no way some 60+ year old white guy converts to Islam. Not buying it.

This was a antifa leftist hit job on Trump voters, mark my words

That has not been their history. They have been eerily accurate in previous claims, as a NYTimes piece detailed.
