This whole story stinks to high heaven. Would love to know the real story. What we’ve been told isn’t it. Call me a conspiracy guy, which I’m not, but I am on this one for sure. None of it makes sense.

Might have had it set up to run linux, directly from a disk (cd or dvd). No HD needed, and no tracks left behind.

Fake news. I’ll bet it had a SSD and because it did, the Hard Drive space would have been empty.

I’m starting to think human trafficking. Significant money going to girlfriend “visiting” Indonesia. I was thinking weapons but now I’m thinking kids.

So who took the hard drive? Was it there when the police entered the room? Was it missing by the time the police entered the room? This story at the start seemed so straight forward. Now it is anything but.

Why would the shooter bring a laptop with no hard drive? It is useless without it.

Who had care, custody, and control of the evidence collected at the crime scene? This smacks of an inside job to deceive the American people. I have donned the tin foil hat.

The amount of s**t hitting the fan from every corner of our society is becoming overwhelming.

Something big is going down and the big explosion simply has not yet occurred.

I agree. Somebody else is behind this. Somebody with a political agenda, and this is not the only shooting commissioned by this somebody either.

In a single shooter scenario with the cops closing in, I can see a person pulling the hard drive to destroy it before offing them self. But where is it. I would have fired a couple of rounds into it. Maybe tossed it out the open windows. Maybe he ditched it or hid it before the shooting started.

But it's absence brings up more questions.

If you go with the premise that he was a total nutcase this makes sense. The same logic that would make a solitary man bring 23 weapons that he could not possibly need might also support a laptop with no hard drive.

This is just some weird shit folks. And I can’t tell you all how many times over the years I’ve made fun of “conspiracy theories” on FR.

I guess they carted off the hard drive with the dead body of the shooter. What a sham!!! The FBI is either plum stupid or, pulling off an Obama/Clinton inspired cover-up. I feel so sorry for all American folks that lost dearly loved ones, they are not being serviced or supported with the truth of this horrible tragedy.

So he dumped a disk?? I'd go over that suite again....

At the same time are we learning he was computer savvy?
