The shooter
From the mind of the chief | 10/2/2017 | ChiefJayStrongbow

Posted on 10/02/2017 3:23:30 PM PDT by ChiefJayStrongbow

I don't see how someone that is purportedly normal snaps and decides to take out that many innocent people.

What if he wasn't the real shooter? What if he's shot and left behind so that the real sniper can just make his escape?

If his room adjoined any another rooms, they should be looking at the adjoining room occupants, and studying the hallway cam footage for the comings and goings from those rooms.

I hope they are already looking into this. I just don't want someone that is capable of this level of evil to still be breathing.

All of the facts are known by now to somebody. No one person knows them all just yet. Distribution of facts will be slow and the noise level will be high.

Facts which contradict official narratives or are inconvenient to the powers-that-be will be suppressed for as long as possible.

The truth may still come out. In the mean time the usual politicians are not going to let this crisis go to waste.

I don’t think it is wrong to question...Actually, I think it is very healthy in this day and age. If that makes me a conspiracy theorist, I’ll put tin snips in my hat making kit.

I won’t even get into fact that no one can point to a motive...24 hours later. No questions?

I am questioning fact that from what has been reported, no one can find that this guy had a military background—anyone heard different? They guy owned/managed apartments... So really, the guy does not seem to have had any prior training in this sort of thing...Maybe just me, but would “average guy” auditor/apartment owner know first thing about pulling off something like this??

He may have had hunting licenses; yet, even tho we don’t know exactly what he was using (unless it was recently reported), clearly he was not using a shotgun—not by a long shot.

His brother says he was “never an avid gun guy.” How does a guy who is not an avid gun guy own 42 firearms? How does a guy who is not an avid gun guy plan this, execute this, and even know how to use high powered weaponry like was likely used??

Those are not basic firearms that a “not an avid gun guy” hunter would use such as a basic rifle, a shotgun or a revolver...Where would he practice using possibly altered high caliber firearms? I doubt he would not practice using these high caliber firearms before using them. Maybe he went out in the desert by himself? Not allowed at typical indoor ranges though. Amazing no one seems to have record of affiliation with a shooting facility reported, no shooting buddies.

Maybe he purchased most of his 42 firearms and ammo out of the area. One shop said he passed background and purchased 2—one semi-automatic and a shotgun...neither of which were likely used 32 floors up. Another shop said he purchased but did not say what ...So he purchased a lot of weapons—likely expensive weapons (even basic CC costs $500+) from someone somewhere...There should be records of ammo purchases—even if online. Have not heard much about that. Odd for a guy whose brother says he is not a gun enthusiast...

So I have lots of questions. Maybe we will get answers in time, maybe not.

Meanwhile, I guess I’ll get started designing my tin foil hat ;(

BTW,I don’t link politics—Hillary, gun control, etc. in same league as conspiracy theories BTW...

“Word is, she is in the Philippines... “

I meant, this is not something that happened overnight. He might have had to reserve the room with intent months ago. Unless they weren’t really close, she would almost have had to notice something.

Compared to the obsessively liberal guy she was involved with before him, this guy may have seemed normal.

Guy on the radio said he rented two suites, maybe he did that so when one needed housekeeping he’d move himself and his guns to the other and put a do not disturb sign on the one he was in.

He rented two suites because they gave him different angles for shooting out the window.

Maybe Tokyo refers to his former wife and the Philippines refers to his girlfriend.

Or similar except more money.

Has to be plenty of forensic evidence that he was exposed to a LOT of gunpowder and also he likely left lots of fingerprint/DNA evidence.

Everyone of us has questions. I’ve got many regarding specific weapons and whether they were automatics or the “bump-stock” stories going around the media today. Bump-stocks I’ve seen don’t do what I heard on those videos. I don’t trust the media for any shred of truth about this, they’ll twist even facts that are released by authorities. As far as motive, appears the guy kept it to himself,. There is a report today of a possible note at the hotel. we’re still early on in this and I don’t like to jump to conclusions based on nearly no clear info yet
