What is odd to me is that anyone who raises questions about the crazed lone gunman HYPOTHESIS is automatically tagged as a conspiracy theorist.
By all accounts, this was a highly unusual crime, and Paddock doesn’t fit the characteristics of known mass murderers in the US.
The authorities, at the least, should investigate all reasonable scenarios, and that includes determining what his motive was.
I live in Charlottesville. After what I have seen reported in the press, and described by state and local officials about recent events here, I will never again accept explanations that could haveextreme political consequences at face value again.
That's because Second Gunman Theory Disorder is a fairly common condition. When a great crime occurs and only one perpetrator is involved some people tend to gravitate to the delusion that due to the disproportionate relationship between the perpetrator and the importance of their victim or number of victims, there must have been more than one perpetrator involved. Evidence or lack of evidence notwithstanding.
Second Gunman Theory Disorder is impossible to treat as far as I can tell. No amount of evidence can dispel the delusion once it set in. The best thing to do is just dismiss people with this condition out of hand. You'll only frustrate yourself and anger them if you try to argue with them.
You mean like the presumption that anyone who raises questions about the crazed Russians HYPOTHETICALLY “hacking” the election is automatically tagged as a conspiracy theorist? (correctly i might add)
There is zero evidence the Russians hacked anything.
And thus far, there is zero evidence other than a lone nut shot and killed people from a Vegas hotel room. And there is zero evidence he was a closet Muslim.
Plus how FReepers figured out within 24 hours that the “alt right” perps at Charlottesville were Obama-Occupy CIAState plants, one of them who was on CNN’s payroll.
And the fact that perps are plants and these are false flag attacks on conservative mindsets, does not mean that no one was killed or injured.
But it doesn’t dismiss the idea that some of the injured are faking it.
