“It’s a mystery. We just don’t know his motive. We may never know.”

They haven’t given a motive for the Vegas shooter yet.

I think they’ll go with , He hated Garlic

Ever been through Gilroy? I have and the aroma of garlic is very strong. More at certain times than others. To some people it may be offensive. Like to a vampire.

That's it! The perp is a vampire who went berserk over the smell of garlic!!

The motivations of people suffering from mental illness don’t need explanations grounded in the rational world. That’s why they call it mental illness.

"Security theater."

You didn’t say this Skywise, but “security theater” suggests that the public is being frauded with respect to appearance of security.

Since California mandates gun free zones, corrections welcome, California needs to do the following.

California needs to require fence manufacturers to post fence compromise ratings near entrance to fenced areas. “It takes min. 5 minutes to open a four square foot hole through this fence,” for example.

Gilroy probably didn’t have drones flying outside fence, the fence probably under trees in some spots. But drones would at least give whoever was watching fence a roller-coster thrill, public safety a priority, instead of security people daydreaming while watching boring camera monitors.

I know! Maybe security people could participate in drone time races for circling fenced area. Extra points for maneuvers. Again, public safety a priority.

Sorry for the somewhat whimsical suggestions, but I hope that somebody gets inspired enough to develop technology to help prevent loss of life.

> Oh, in a perfect world, garlic could be used to ward-off liberals and their ilk.

It works if you throw it hard enough!

The man on the TV said he’s one of them White Supremo Cysts. So that settles it, I reckon.

The family and I drove through Gilroy once and tried some garlic ice cream. It was exactly as advertised. Glad I tried it, don’t ever plan to eat it again.

True. That story has been buried very deep. There are lots of things common people are not suppose to know about Vegas.

Well, for that matter, would work if you poured enough on top of them.

I live across the street from this event and have doubts about second shooter.

This place crawls with uniform LEO inside and outside.

And there is an extended perimeter.

There isn’t a way to escape detection.

There are even police and sheriff Explorers controlling areas surrounding

He would have been seen

There were conflicting descriptions of the shooter and I suspect the 2nd man is erroneous

Regardless of the reason that’s ginned up, we all know what the only solution will be.

You know, the solution that has never worked and never will work.

That’s pretty much the way it is with garlic ice cream. You have to try it once. And that’s about enough.

First, check his connection with father & mother.

Second, check for Ritalin or another mood prescription.

Nearly every mass shooter has one or both factors.

He was addicted to a drug, a terrorist, or both.
