Why would he be wearing a NASA shirt?
Doesn't even need to be mercenary soldiers. Could simply be a couple of America haters who specifically picked a country music concert to shoot up (from two different windows simultaneously).
An alleged neighbor of the alleged shooter called into the Savage Nation today.
"Rick" (was in the marine corps) was a neighbor in Mesquite, NV for 7-8 months. He says 100% this guy isn't the "type." He drank beer with the guy. Says the alleged shooter was a Trump fan. He told Clarke county sheriff's office everything he knows.

UNIDENTIFIED OFFICER: "We have sight on the suspect's door. I need for everybody in that hallway to be aware of it and get back. We need to pop this and see if we can get any type of response from this guy. See if he's in here or if he's actually moved somewhere else."
The guy had been dead (how long?) prior to LEO's entering the room.
Little Kimmy the hairdresser
If it’s him, because he worked for them.
“Why would he be wearing a NASA shirt?”
Because it was the only pink shirt he had...
No, I think there were 4 kids total, including Stephen. He had 3 brothers.
That hasn't been my experience. They seem to claim every terrorist attack that happens as their ow.
These are not things that are very had to find out. The reporters, instead of hustling the public, need to do a bit of hustling to get facts.
Reporters ought to be trying to paint a picture of the guy, you know, what kind of a person was he. They aren't.
Yep. A whole lot of nothing.
People with higher analytical skills realize that CTH is an opinion and news analysis blog, not a news site.
You no like brother Kimmy? You wouldn't like brother Kimmy when he angry...
Per articles that were posted here earlier today, he owned apartment buildings.
You're confusing CTH with The Gateway Pundit. CTH was great on Trayvon, Brown, and many other subjects. Cruzers hate them though because Cruzers aren't capable of being objective.
We have a national media? Coulda fooled me. They have no interest in learning facts about this guy, it’s better to leave it all undefined so they can push the gun ban angle. I hate our fraud make believe media.
Is that true about Australia? I know in Brazil that banning guns ended up meaning that no one could defend themselves from the drug cartels because I heard this from another co-worker who escaped Brazil.
Thanks for the ping, surroundedbyblue.
Basically the Australian experience is mixed. There is no real evidence that gun crime overall has declined since the laws were changed in the late 1990s - at least not any faster than it was already declining before that.
However, it does seem difficult to deny that one particular type of gun crime - massacres by single gunmen - did dramatically decline after that.
From 1987 until 1996, Australia experienced seven such massacres -
Hoddle Street (Melbourne, Victoria), 1987: 7 dead.
Queen Street (Melbourne, Victoria), 1987, 8 dead.
Kimberley (Northern Territory), 1987: 5 dead.
Surry Hills (Sydney, NSW), 1990: 5 dead.
Strathfield (Sydney, NSW), 1991: 7 dead.
Central Coast (NSW), 1992: 6 dead.
Port Arthur (Tasmania), 1996: 35 dead.
The laws were changed after Port Arthur. And there has not been one single gunman massacre since. It went from being almost an epidemic to just not happening.
But that is one very rare crime to begin with. It's not indicative of the overall crime situation. And they didn't come in after one shooting, but after a spate of single gunman spree killings over the course of more than a decade - The Port Arthur massacre of 1996 (35 killed) came after the Hoddle Street (7 killed) and Queen Street (8 killed) mass killings in Melbourne in 1987, the Kimberley massacre (5 killed) of 1987, the Surry Hills (5 killing (5 killed) in 1990, the Strathfield Massacre (7 killed) of 1991, and the Central Coast Massacre (6 killed) of 1992. We had an epidemic of this style of mass murder in the late 1980s and early 1990s - Port Arthur was just the last and the worst. There hasn't been one since.
The calibers were revealed at the 5;00 press conference. Those are my kind of details the retarded press omits.
He’s probably a Cruzer or confusing CTH with Gateway Pundit.
According to a document which was posted on one of the threads today, she was born in 1948 and is 69 now...several years older than her deceased “roommate.”
