Not exactly cut in stone, but apparently ISIS says the shooter converted to Islam months ago. Per WMAL in Wash. DC.
[You’d have to have some powerful connections to get your hands on a $65,000 fully automatic rifle like he used.]
What was it?
He was converted by his gf? Internet friends? Publications?
GF out of the country. Where and when, her itinerary.
Don’t go anywhere unarmed.
We’ll know for sure when all the liberals on TV start looking like their mothers just died... They soooooooo wanted the killer to be a white male conservative...
Better aloha snackbar than hash-tag resist/ not my president /ect.?
Fox Online went wonky for a while (might be local prob but...), then the articles with info on the shooter were gone or truncated.

How old was Brenban when he converted? Don’t think age matters. Tge left is crazy no matter the age
Guy did say. Said very hard to get on the black market. From the sounds it was fully automatic and large caliber. It weren’t no .22.
I’m listening to national and local news - and they keep emphasizing that the shooter is a WHITE MALE, over and over again.
Got to get the “correct” narrative out there first.
That is a profile.
No reason he couldn't be all three.
Don’t bet on it. There are a lot of warped people in the world.
Yours truly got raked over the coals for posting that thread.
#vindication
So summing up what we know so far:
This guy was a white dude with neo-nazi tattoos, that really could just the veins on his neck,
But he likely was a lifelong democrat and ANTIFA member,
Or he was a rabid fan of Trump and mistakenly thought that a country music concert was the perfect place to demonstrate his support for Trump’s white supremacy by shooting lots of African Americans who tend to gather in droves at such events,
Or according to stalwarts like Brit Hume he was angered to the point of violence, like so many innocent, sweet people, by Trump’s rhetoric especially toward Iran and North Korea. Oh, let us not forget Puerto Rico, but what is important is to remember that everything would have been great had Trump not been mean to Hume’s GOPe friends,
Or this was an ISIS attack from a recent convert,
Or it was a lone gun that did it and just conned some slob into pulling the trigger further proving that we should give our guns to Charles Schumer,
Or the guy was off his meds or just snapped in a completely non-premeditated fashion as is common in the new America created by Trump.
And those are the concrete, set in stone facts.
Sounds like a Ma Deuce for that kind of money.
No Fox News Breaking News on my phone yet.
If his girlfriend really is from Indonesia, which has the largest Muslim population in the world, a recent conversion and radicalization is fairly likely.
Would also explain why he was “known” to law enforcement without apparently having previous charges or convictions.
The type of concert has to be a factor in my opinion.
*************
I think you are right. The shooter’s motive was driven by one of two things: religiously inspired terrorism or political ideology.
Yes they did. Chilling.
They can claim whatever they like; I’d like to see some evidence.
This guy just doesn’t fit any kind of profile.
We do not have much information yet. His age works against the flood of digital information that we usually have.
But he is close to the profile of the Republican Baseball shooter, for age and ethnicity.
I would put my money on he’s a lunatic or he’s some left winger ANTIFA type.
