If a Southern white conservative drove up to New York and shot up a bunch of liberals at a Guggenheim Art Museum Event would the press ‘muse’ about the possibility he was a conservatives that hated liberals? You betcha they would.

Would the Atlantic state there was 'no obvious motive' at a Guggenheim Event Slaughter?

The witch from CBS - - who was not sad because the dead most likely voted for Trump - - was at least honest... hateful... but truthful. She's NOT the worst of white liberal elites - she's average in her hatred.

The folks at the Atlantic who wrote this drivel know that because they're surrounded by white liberal elites.

David A. Graham is a liar or a fool.

Everything has been leaking out of this investigation like a sieve... except the motive...

[ 1. This guy had a motive.

2. There was nothing random about the attack.

3. If we’re lucky, this won’t all be swept under the rug for political purposes (which is likely to happen if his motive involved Islam, homosexuality, or some aspect of leftist politics). ]

Logical Conclusion #1: If the shooter had a “Conservative motive” for the shooting we would already know about as the media would be all over the evidence of his “right wing motive”

Logical Conclusion #2: If the shooter had a “Left Wing/Socialist motive” for the shooting the media would be covering it up or just ignoring it in favor of the “We need Gun Control Narrative”

Logical Conclusion #3: If the shooter had a “Christian Motive” for the shooting see LC#1.

Logical Conclusion #4: If the shooter had a “Islamic Motive” for the shooting see LC#2.

Logical Conclusion #5: If the shooter had no conclusive motive at all, it will be implied he had a right wing motive or if he was slightly left they will just push the “Gun Control Narrative” all the more.

“...though as a white man he shares a race and gender with many other perpetrators.”

Never hear them talk like this about blacks or muzz when discussing abhorrent behavior. Supposed to be racist or Islamophobic or some such nonsense.

“One possibility is that he’s a liberal acting on the violent rhetoric of liberals saying all conservatives need to die, the evil fascists need to be fought, etc.”

At this point, no other specific possibility can be identified.

I’m not necessarily buying any of the conspiracy theories floating around.. BUT

There is something that just isn’t adding up about the whole thing - and the massive void of any connection to anything that would normally be associated with such horrendous acts...

>>Paddock was not a young man, as many mass shooters are, though as a white man he shares a race and gender with many other perpetrators

I recall recurring incidents of lone shooters on the roofs of McDonald’s in the early 80s and one or more of the flipped out shooters were women.

It was about the time of the copycat tylenol killers.

There have been several highly suspicious enigmas since 2012, despite the fact that the federal Assault Weapons Ban was allowed to expire in 2004.

And each of the mysterious murderers’ families had incomes in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. According to the words and actions of many authorities, constituents in that demographic don’t commit crimes.

He'd never say that about a black criminal, or he'd be fired.

Maybe he just didn’t like country rap. Wasn’t the last band a band that sings a country rap song?
That song almost makes me feel like loading up.

Very odd... the festival was a three day festival... he stays through all of it and starts shooting at the last set?

They said he attended a concert earlier in Sept, wonder what that was, and why not shoot up that one?

If he sent a love letter to MSNBC or Hustler or some other news agency as some of these killers have done, his manifesto is still under wraps or lost in transit.

Mist leave some sort or manifesto online, suicide note (which is sometimes supressed by authorities) or memo to a favored news agent.

"No steady job and lots of money."

He reportedly had been a successful real estate investor, and you don't need to have a steady job if you've already made your millions. I knew a guy like that - owned a dozen properties, spent about one day a week in his office, and died a millionaire.

Most mass murderers, aside from Islamist terrorists, tend to be white.

..hated Trump, Christians, or was threatened to do so in killing them for Islam...Marilou Danley had a role, likely she was a mohammaden...$100,000 wired to terrorists...

FBI is lying to us.

I'll speculate that he was likely pissed at his "live-in girlfriend" who's still traveling without him.

For all we know, she may have absconded with quite a sum of his money or she could be traveling with another man or woman! She doesn't look all that feminine to me.

As usual Onyx, I suspect your deduction will prove to be the most accurate.

He wired $100,00+ to someone in The Philippines.

But to who or what and why?

More questions whose answers are not forthcoming.
