“Same here!

“Waiting for the other shoe to drop!””

If that shoe does drop will the MSM actually report it?

When ISIS claims a mass murderer is theirs the Deep-State & Media dispute it.

You've never seen a KKK or Nazi claim that a murderer is theirs ever disputed by the Deep-State and Media.

What does that tell you? Who are they out to protect?

He was on 32nd floor. Not sure the people could have heard anything.

“Now the question remains: Did someone hear him shout Aluha Akbar?”

From 32 floors up and 1000 feet away in that chaos? Even if he did, no one would have heard him.

I don't believe for a minute this guy was ISIS (or Antifa as others are speculating).

I think he was just an angry loser who snapped.

This took a lot of preparation and planning. The hotel was booked solid for months before this concert. He was able to get a room with an elevated view of the concert area and waited until Aldean was almost finished with his show. He had multiple weapons and built platforms to shoot off of. This isn’t some nut who goes off the deep end and pulls out his pistol. I just have a hard time buying the “snapped” theory.

Of course not, but what about from the same floor he was on, but unseen by the shooter? It would have been before the shooting.

Extremely unlikely in a suite on an upper floor...very large, well-appointed suites. They are not built with paper-thin walls like a La Quinta. The sound of someone shouting in a suite like that would not be heard unless you were listening at the door, even then it would be muted. These suites are very well built.

Since there are now other credible sources who may report it, most (but not all) of the MSM will feel the need to report it, too!

Many earlier reports attached a lot of significance to Paddock’s brother’s statement that Paddock was not political, not ideological, etc. Now some discussions on radio indicate that the brother in Florida and Paddock in Nevada had very little contact and the Florida brother probably did not know what his brother was or was not involved in.

Likely still a lot to be learned.

That’s one Helluva a lot of planning and implementation for a “snapped” episode. He didn’t just call and get that corner suite high up on a moment’s notice. This time of year is prime time on the Strip. I would be stunned to hear that reservation was made less than a month or two in advance...probably even longer ago. That a long-lived “snap.” This was a very long and well-planned operation...with A LOT of casing.

Assuming he was an extreme leftist without ISIS ties, that would be another event of open warfare against conservatives from leftists. The attempted assassination of several Republican HOR members at Beseball practice seems to be an act of war from the left, well researched beyond the shooter's ability to carry it out.

We're in an internal war for control of the US. "Republicans" in the HOR and US Senate are enabling it to go on, even though it's clear they were elected to stop it.

We know they are liars (taqiyya) so we can’t believe the truth when they tell it?

All I know is that this was a despicable act of pure evil.

Is it any more despicable or evil than the daily murders in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, etc?

The authorities will not admit it was Islam even if it was.

They fear that the bomb factories in mosque basements will start having "accidental" explosions, by the dozens, and that Muslim males will start being found dead everywhere.

This is a big sticking point. Note the previous post that referred to her as Filipino. That was what was said earlier today, but somehow changed to Indonesian. Big difference. So which is it? Another early post said her ID was found in the room, but now she’s out of the country. Do we even know if she’s a GF, wife, ex-wife or whatever, because she seems to be married to someone else. Finding out who she really is and where she is seems to be pretty important here.
