Ralph is way out of his league on this. I don’t think he has a clue on Paddock.
Because no one is seeing the clues.
This is like the JFK conspiracy. They made Oswald a pawn in some massive coup d’etat with LBJ, the CIA, Doris Day and anyone else because it had to be bigger than Oswald. A puny little leftist shit could not take down a King all by himself. Yet that is exactly what happened.
Right now it is a lone wolf guy who planned and planned a detailed massacre, for seemingly no reason at all but a psychosis?
It is not enough, and there has to be more to this than just getting back at a casino. No one wakes up a Jason Bourne to begin killing people because the CIA flicked a switch. It just doesn’t happen.
This guy had a reason to do this and it has to be found.
Without reason, the senselessness takes over and it forces people to lose hope. It is punishing, because illogic is paired with incredible evil. So people need a rational basis to get through this, or they will be haunted, and afraid.
Peters may be wrong on the specific details on the LV event; however, I think this is an important article on the general nature of where our culture has been heading.
Decades ago there was less easily available exposure to how the OTHER GUY lives. Jet-setters, young wealthy athletes, and others with the women, toys, and a seemingly happy celebrity life are overexposed today. The misguided thinking that “everyone somehow has that better life than mine” can be desctructive to someone without a healthy perspective on how most Americans live. It may result in disaster if that individual is without a PROPERLY FORMED CONSCIENCE.
The LV shooter could have been the Columbine kids with just more money, access, an idle time to plan a more widespread and detailed evil. The investigation continues....
His reason could be really stupid...
Could be he just hated rap music. Not in a racist way, just because it is awful. Or if he hated rap it could be because he viewed it as a cultural pathogen infecting other forms of music.
He cased a rap festival earlier in September, then starts shooting at a country western concert.
What do they have in common?
Believe it or not, both concerts may have rap in common.
Oddly enough he waited to the last set of the Country festival to start shooting. He waited until a guy named Aldean comes on.
Jason Aldean’s got a hit song [groan] that is a rap song, called “Dirt Road Anthem.”
It is excruciating. It could possibly drive me to do something horrible.. It should only be reserved to torture people at Gitmo.
I don’t know if he sang it that night, but if he did, and if that’s the moment when the murderer started shooting... it might very well be that his anger was overreaction to rap music.
Stupid? Yes. Is there some reason to expect blood-lusting nuts to have good reasons?
Anyone have a program for the festival?
