dman, just damn :(
First question: Was he an Islamic jihadist?
News conference just now said it may have risen to another, making it 59
Always islamism until demonstrated otherwise.
ISIS is claiming that he was.
The jury is still out.
If he is or isn’t won’t much matter..................
Not very likely. His wife was not in the country and is apparently an Aussie of Indonesian heritage.
Saw one comment on a news site:
It was a Country Music show. Hope there were a lot of TRUMP voters there.................
That’s a lot of bullets.
I’m waiting for the cops to say that nobody was trampled to death or otherwise injured by something other than one of his bullets.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think the left is going to like what the investigation uncovers. I’m thinking Steve Scalise.
>>Lombardo said that Paddock shot himself dead.
How do they know his [Muslim?] girlfriend didn’t shoot him dead?
That number is going to go WAY up. Several dozen people on Vents....with head wounds. As soon as family contacted, and organ donations matched, they’ll pull the plug. If I were in Vegas right now, Id leave because every ICU is filled up.
Did he check into Mandalay Bay under the name of Geary Danley?
She was out of the country.

That’s quite a distance for that shooting.
Possibly, but more likely he was a crazy leftist who figured he could kill a lot Trump-supporting conservatives by targeting a country music concert.
Could be.
If he was a Left wing nutcase, the MSM will be busy to bury it faster than a cat in a cow pasture............
>>She was out of the country.
She have other muslim-convert playmates?
The suicide is convenient.
It’s about a 450 meter shot. Not hard to get a high body count when you are firing a full auto into a densely populated area from an elevated position. He was targeting everyone, no need to really aim.
Unknown to me.....................
