4 days after Las Vegas massacre and still no motive? What are your thought?

Nearly 4 days later after the suspect committed one of the biggest mass murders in U.S. history and still no motive? That seems a bit odd considering everthing.

Even if the suspect was a mentally ill, he would still need some type of motive, whether real or perceived.

They've interviewed his girlfriend, his brother, associates, acquaintances, relatives, friends and nothing? No social media? No on-line presence? No smart phone information? Nothing political going on? And they've searched everything he owns including the vehicles. And you know they've gone through his medical records thoroughly.

We're told he was a gambler who spent lots of cash gambling and he had several homes and was a former government employee among other things. And I'm sure they've looked at every financial transaction he's ever had by now.

How could someone so angry, and or mentally ill, never have hinted or telegraphed their intentions or position to someone along the way? This took lots of planning, at least weeks, if not months or possibly more. Personally I think the girlfriend would have to know what going on with this guy, at least to some extent.

What are your thoughts regarding a motive?

"The reason for the sniper's behavior are being suppressed."

Calling this douchebag a "sniper" is like calling Rodney King a "motorist".

The guns were purchased by Paddock.

"The shooter filmed himself for some reason. That’s key I think."

That's one thing that nudged me further towards the ISIS-related theory. That's part of their MO. There are still huge gaps to fill but:

ISIS claims involvement.

ISIS called for violence in Vegas.

ISIS targets events like music concerts and places frequented by tourists.

The shooter had a newfound familiarity with high-powered weaponry, explosives, and weapon-altering methods, as if he had recent training.

There was a lot of planning.

And, finally, no better theory has emerged.

This man targeted people who almost certainly were Trump supporters. His motive was to kill Trump supporters - it is obvious.

I do not trust this investigation one bit at the FBI level. Under Comey and Obama the FBI became and still is a political operation and will most likely try to cover up the above logical conclusion for the motive.

Little is being said about the fact that the shooter lost a hundred grand slip-and-fall lawsuit/claim against Mandalay Bay hotel/casino.

"So one would guess whatever it is, the motive is not something advantageous to the MSM agenda or at least some of these aggressive, ambitious and soulless media types would have leaked something about it."

Good point. By the time the real motive emerges, it will be treated as irrelevant compared to the need to control guns and bump stocks.

If the FBI is involved, forget about ever getting a straight story unless it leaks from police.

Different rooms, one window was in a separate room. The smoke alone would warrant a need for cross ventilation...and dont discount the terror of having fire coming down from 2 different angles. Maybe...

“The FBI is not the superb law enforcement agency we used to know but just a shill and cover for the left now.”

You got that right.

Also, it’s interesting how local LEO is being made the face of this investigation to the public.

The FBI and fedgov intel agencies have much more information available to them from their various databases and investigatory methods but are staying in the background.

Because his lawsuit was against The Cosmopolitan, not Mandalay Bay.

I suspect that the clue is in the Target. White conservative country western Trump people. There is a clue there. He planned it for a year right after Trumps election. In his back ground he was a bureaucrat in the its and postal system. He hated conservatives and Trump. This is why they are covering this up because it will explode bad on the socialists. Trump has already been advised. The strategy will be mental illness and hope it sicks. It wont . It is the same hatred that attacked Steve Scalise and the Republicans. They fear an eye for an eye.
