So I guess he was a crazed Democrat after all.
Thanks for clearing that up, Atlantic!
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.
Like the Scalise shooter.
Like Gaby Gifford’s shooter, targeting her for not being liberal enough.
Doing what Antifa and CNN say should be done.
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).
First mistake...
Thinking the Atlantic would clarify anything for the public.
Well I take that back. It certainly clarifies who they are as a paper.
Paper could be put to so much better use.

And we all know minorities don't commit murders. /s
Yep, if they do not refer to him as a right winger, or any political affiliation, that means he was a leftie.
“...though as a white man he shares a race and gender with many other perpetrators”.
Yeah, right.
The above is egregious, and typical of the flavor of the day. Almost de rigeur that he has to have a line like that in an Atlantic article.
But beyond that, this is a vacuous article.
They had to write something but had nothing to write about so he wrote inanities.
Nobody commenting on the fact that his girlfriend (and presumably he as well) were in the UAE last year.
“based on what little is known so far” we’re going to make any assumptions we want that fit our views...
Seriously, it’s been a day. Nobody knows nothing.
Fun to speculate, but silly for Atlantic to expect to make money speculating wildly.
If he was a muslim/ethnic middle-easterner, we’d be hearing the “muslim community fears backlash” stories right about now.
This guy is a pilot with a couple of planes.
No steady job and lots of money.
So this is how they cover it up??? We can’t figure out who he was? I don’t believe them.
One thing Alex Jones reported yesterday, is he heard from a law enforcement person investigating at the hotel room, and this person reported to Alex Jones that they found ANTIFA propaganda all over the hotel room.
I know, it’s Alex Jones, but it’s going to be hard to get corroboration if the media is going to double down on this narrative of not being able to figure out who this shooter was.
ANTIFA has already declared war on traditional America. I hope the truth eventually comes out before more Americans die because so much sedition is going on in this country.

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