Las Vegas: Americans Deserve Better Than Yet Another False Narrative
DB Daily Update ^ | 10.3.2017 | David Blackmon

Posted on 10/03/2017 5:03:33 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

In Las Vegas, authorities continue to search for a motive for the mass shooting. Even though ISIS took credit for the assault, claiming the man was a recent convert to Islam, the LVPD and other investigating agencies claim to have found no evidence yet to support any terrorist affiliation. ISIS also took credit for a casino attack earlier this year which authorities believe was actually a botched robbery, so there is reason to be skeptical of the group’s claim in this case.

Already, an official narrative is becoming clear in this case. Such narratives always follow a familiar line in these mass murder cases and assassinations: the guy was a “loner”, he “kept to himself”, he was “just a regular guy”, and no one in his family, none of his friends, nor anyone in his neighborhood had any idea at all that he was a raging psychopath. Yep, this guy had somehow accumulated an arsenal roughly equivalent to that of the Bulgarian Army, and spent four days carting firearms and ammunition into his suite at the Mandalay Bay, and nobody had any idea that he was up to something.

Folks, I can’t take a walk without 15 people in my neighborhood knowing about it. This guy lived in a closely-packed retirement community filled with nosy senior citizens. But we are supposed to believe that he was able to build a stockpile of firearms and explosives that would fill your local National Guard Armory and nobody had any idea.

59 Americans are dead as I write this. Many more remain in critical condition at Las Vegas hospitals. More than 500 were wounded in the assault. These victims, their families and other loved ones, the people of Las Vegas and everyone else in America deserve to learn the truth about what happened.

Notice the target group. Country western music?

People who drive trucks, raise cattle, run dairy farms..., instead of people who live in a city and depend on welfare.Why the target choice?

Remember the anthrax investigation that Mueller "botched up."

This plan of theirs won't work unless the only people with guns are the people that the "deep state" deems OK.

One theory is that Lee Harvey Oswald was also a stooge.

Don’t you think the neighbors would know that I had a soft-boiled egg and oatmeal with toast this morning?! Hmmmm? I am surrounded by hundreds of suburban neighbors, looking out of their windows and walking up and down the street, supposedly “walking their dogs”.

I agree...

ISIS also took credit for a casino attack earlier this year which authorities believe was actually a botched robbery, so there is reason to be skeptical of the group’s claim in this case.

- that's the reason to be skeptical!?!? Not that there is not one iota of evidence that he had any kind of connection to ISIS as of yet?

Just because one doesn't trust the government should not lead one to throw out all reason and common sense. People are slowly morphing into Alex Jones!

i think you are right .
Looks like a typical lonely retired gambler who got
snagged by the foreign female casino cougar .
the money ran out and she left ,
sent her more to come back
he was in financial trouble .

no real estate tycoon goes on a suicide shooting rampage .

"Why? Depending on the size of the rifle cases these guns could fit in the trunk of the car. Or he could have hidden them in a golf bag. Hidden in a golf bag he could have gotten them to his room in two trips. 5k rounds would easily fit in a suit case. Divided between two or three suitcases it would have been easy to take them to the room. Suitcases and golf bags don’t get a second look in Vegas."

Exactly! Good grief do people have ANY critical thinking skills anymore?

I do have some very predictable observations that I absolutely don't like about this. First and foremost is why no pictures of the room and the weapons used? We are hearing about all these guns that he had and clearly he had some but LETS SEE THEM! Government and law enforcement (specifically the FBI) have some serious credibility issues and one of the reasons is all this "this is an ongoing investigation crap" and not allowing the public to see anything. It's bull shit. They are doing this so they can conceal the truth and support whatever is politically advantageous.

We need to demand to see pictures of this guys room, the weapons and the shooting positions now! They say he is a lone wolf? then fine. No reason to not release pictures of the room and the weapons.

People have lost trust in the FBI because of the political nature of the FBI.

ISIS is only part of the landscape.

Remember, “conspiracy theory” is a phrase invented by the CIA to discredit those who question the official narrative.

Exactly ! I keep thinking too......they say they found his room because the smoke from all the firing set off the smoke alarm. Seems to me - how could there be that much smoke when there were TWO GIANT windows broken out opposite of each other. Wouldn't that create a nice cross-breeze ventilation, especially 32 stories up. Isn't is usually pretty windy that high up ?

You need to read the police and sheriff’s reports more closely. His home was filled with guns and explosives makings.

No explosives were used.

He owned three planes. If he’s out for mass casualties, he could have killed hundreds going 9/11.

Well Alex WAS right! (Uh, sometimes, maybe, very occasionally?)
