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.
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.
people are so quick to dismiss things...
anything is possible and probable...

With the "girlfriend" holding Australian citizenship and the Melbourne ISIS group claiming that one of their comrades was involved, I'd say that it's possible that both scenarios were in play.
