Run that one by me again. His girlfriend was a Muslim? Is that confirmed?
“Located out of the country”...sounds familiar.
He fits the profile of the Bernie Bro - like the guy who shot up the GOP baseball game and sent Steve Scalise to the hospital.
Personally I thought it sounded like an M249.
And using Google Maps you can find the distance from the Mandalay to the concert venue was about 500 meters. He was on the 32nd floor - which is about 115 meters meaning he was around 525 meters from his target area (unless my math is off as I’m doing it in my head).
The max point effective range for an AK or M4 is around 500 meters - with an area range a little bit further. The max effective point range for a 249 is around 600 meters with an area range of around 800.
All of that is in the hands of a trained operator though - in the hands of a “normal guy who just went haywire” I’d bet he’d have a hard time keeping 5% of his rounds in the target area - if that - no matter the weapon.
Between 1985 and 1988, he worked for a predecessor company of Lockheed Martin.
Ford Aerospace?
there is also a story saying he was going through a nasty divorce. Perhaps divorce laws need to be changed. Less “fleece the male”.
Nobody is blaming the judges in “going through nasty divorce” situations.
There are AR-10s.
Less is more in this case.
Ford Aerospace was bought out by Loral, not LM.
cnbc this am was calling it a bump fire arms. (anyone?)
And a flock of pigs just flew by my window.
They have them for AR-15s too.
Marilou doesn't sound like a Muslim name.
I was born and raised in Michigan which was Union/Democrat Central when I was a kid.
There were then, and are now, more hunters up there who are way to the left, union and Democrat loving, than there are conservatives.
It’s why they blew up Harrahs casino in Tahoe about 25 years ago.
Gambling is one of the bajillion things forbidden to Muslims, as in gambling earns Islamic Pokemon points towards hell. A devout Muslim might gamble for a short time to establish cover. This guy was a lifelong gambler.
Suicide is another no-no in Islam. Getting killed while trying to kill the infidel is fine. But he wasn't shot by cops. He killed himself.
This guy wasn't a Muslim jihadist. He just went berserk/postal.
I missed that one.
Missed my point there SS.
I was answering someone who said the media couldn’t be saying anything yet about the shooter. My point is the history of the Lying leftist media is that if they have ANY suspicion of a shooter being a white supremacist or an NRA guy, they don’t hesitate to splash it all over the news
“this is looking for and more like someone who just snapped.”
Your definition of someone “who just snapped” has to be very far from mine. This massacre required months of planning and recon and action - not to mention a tremendous amount of money and probably some help along the way.
This is prime time here in Vegas - The Strip is heavily booked well in advance - to get a corner suite on the 32nd floor in Mandalay for four days on this weekend requires advance booking, probably months ahead, and no small sum of money. Then there is the cost of the arsenal he acquired, which from all appearances includes military-style weapons.
Someone doesn’t just “snap” and put in the months of recon, acquisition and planning. He planned this carefully and spent a lot of money implementing it. That “snap” lasted a terribly long time to accomplish this in the manner he did.
Perhaps he is a whale........ gets good things for gambling
