Of course, it’s sarcasm.

But there are nutters, even on this forum, who claim that Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Now Fox is reporting that Paddock was a multi millionaire so we need to believe he just got a wild hare and decided to destroy his life with a mass shooting. My BS detector is starting to vibrate.

Gay marriage is legal stateside. Doesn’t mean that devout Christians are gay. Muslim fanatics don’t generally tend to be multi-decade degenerate gamblers, in the same way that devout Christians don’t tend to be gay.

Someone doesn’t just “snap” and put in the months of recon, acquisition and planning.

So true. This was a well thought out and organized operation, including multiple weapons, and this was not a hastily put together operation.

That “snap” lasted a terribly long time to accomplish this in the manner he did.

Is it possible whoever did this had access to the guest list had several "perfect" rooms on the corner picked out and at the last moment this guy was a target of opportunity himself as he was occupying one of the "perfect" rooms? Perhaps they broke in, grabbed this guy, did the deed, then executed him as they escaped thereby leaving lots of false trails and phony narratives?

There doesn't seem anything in his background so far which would point to this mass murder. Certainly a bad gambling habit and having a lot of money wouldn't do it.

I would think the hotel and other surveillance cameras would be able to confirm or deny something like this quickly?

I'm sure the FBI is on it, right?

I stand corrected.

I have no idea if that is, or even could be, the case. And I’m not suggesting any of that. It’s just that the crazy guy who suddenly snapped explanation is almost completely ridiculous on its face.

I assume if the father was a liberal elite the FBI would help cover up his crimes.

I mean the FBI works for corrupt democrats, right?

From a closer examination, it appears that the UAE has zero casinos, although illegal gambling does take place over races, and cruise ships with gambling facilities are allowed to dock at the country’s ports. Online betting via overseas portals is also available, meaning the government may not have banned those URL’s.

“just a guy” whose father was on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted.

He was on that list 50 plus years ago.

Paddock was 7 years old at the time.

I heard an actual recording of him talking and he said “asteroid,” not Mars.
