I’m cautious about this. Doubtful.

Of course they are .
It’s muslims that are behind the taking down of monuments
This is how they take over countries
They align themselves with the left .
Once they have control THEN they start killing the left
Same tactic Hitler used

Could someone tell me how one man can shoot 450 people?

coincidence.

20,000+ people gathered together... there will always be a few “the end is nigh” types, or an altercation where someone yells something like “i’ll kill you all” or whatever.

Exactly. Yes, people need to see what’s happening and connect the dots.

Possibly just a short-fused loser mad about the breakup with the girlfriend.

That brings numerous rifles and rounds of ammo to a Vegas hotel that he rented for days prior to the event with cameras to be able to tell when LE was coming his way...to the 32nd floor?

A bro-country concert in Vegas is hardly the abode of rock-ribbed conservatism.

>I agree, what they call country music today is trash. Except for the cowboy hat, nothing like real country music. “All hat and no cattle.”

But these millennials THINK it is, and are the most likely among other millennials to be Trump voters. The shooter, if he is indeed Antifa, would have certainly known this.

He had the high ground with unimpeded field of fire. He had multiple high powered full auto rifles with high capacity magazines or belt-feeds. The crowd was mostly static and there was little to no concealment available. A majority of the crowd was probably drunk or stoned making them more vulnerable. Easy peasy.

Let’s have solid evidence and documentation of conversion to Islam.

Only about half of Millennials even bothered voting. They're probably just as likely to be non-voters as Trump voters.

I don't believe for a second that this guy was Antifa.

Don’t believe this without confirmation. The guy does NOT look like a potential convert to Islam. He looks more like a Jimmy Buffett “Parrot Head” - a boozer and frequent Vegas visitor. Possibly just a short-fused loser mad about the breakup with the girlfriend.

Doubt it. They say some of those guns were very pricey on the black market

I was on the strip throughout the day yesterday. I saw at least 10 country boys wearing shirts in praise of eating meat/beef. These country music youngsters are no potheaded california snowflake millenial weaklings. They are manly, and the gals were gorgeous in their country outfits and cowgirl boots.

um.. what is meticulous about renting a hotel room above a large open air concert venue and and shooting at the assembled 20,000+ people.

The shooter was checked in to the hotel since September 28ih, and had ten rifles in his room.

That indicates planning and premeditation on his part.

They just said on the radio it was a huge suite he had.

It was shooting fish in a barrel. The concert goers were trapped in and could not move much.

Who wipes these comments? It couldn’t be the shooter, so it would have to be leftist moderators (like Suckerberg) or an accomplice.

Meh... we don't know what kind of weapons he had. Remember, we're talking about the MSM that sees a rifle and, based on its color, will assume it's "automatic" if it happens to be black.

To someone who didn't know better, a rate of fire like 1-2 rounds per second may seem like an automatic weapon, but c'mon, that's just pulling the trigger fast. If you've ever heard full auto, or even 3-round bursts, you'd know the difference. Trouble is, most people haven't, so the typical interview with "man on the street" would be something like "...I heard automatic gunfire..." and the press will just roll with it.

I'd say it's high odds (90%+) that we'll discover he just had a few standard semi-auto rifles and a bunch of standard capacity magazines. He probably wasn't even a very good shot... as morbid as it sounds, if you're shooting into a crowd of soft targets, you don't need to be good to hit something. I mean, I highly doubt he was picking out targets and methodically scoping them, tracking their movement. He was just blind firing "jihadi" style knowing full well he'd hit "something".

Cowardly and evil, to be sure. I mean, what kind of evil gets into you to just blindly shoot at people like that? I'll never understand it (and hope I never do). It's the mind of someone just saying "f*** it, I don't care who I kill, as long as I kill", and that just does not compute. I guess you have to believe in a holy moon rock for that to even border on sanity.

Like I said in my post 29, this being so well planned, the shooter would have covered his tracks, hiding his true purpose. To fool people who might think he is Antifa.

At this point, however, you and I can only speculate. Maybe the truth will come out, maybe not. The media will not want this incident to morph into a nation-wide revolt against Antifa. Or against Isis, if that was the shooter’s motivation.
