FBI doesn't find motive for Vegas mass shooting
kvue ^ | Jan. 29, 2019 | AP

The FBI has concluded its investigation into the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history without determining a motive. The FBI makes the conclusion in a report given to The Associated Press on Tuesday. After nearly 16 months, the agency says it can't determine why gunman Stephen Paddock killed 58 people and injured nearly 900 others in October 2017. Aaron Rouse is the special agent in charge of the FBI's Las Vegas office. He says Paddock acted alone when he planned and carried out the attack. The 64-year-old fatally shot himself after opening fire from his hotel suite. Rouse says the reason for Paddock's rampage remains a mystery after months of study by agents and behavioral specialists.

It’s just an enduring mystery of the deep.

Look, they have an excuse.

15,000 of the FBI's best agents were being trained for Operation OverlordStone. ;-)

Seems legit. Sure. I mean why not?

Video poker spawns millionaires every day, too. Could happen to anybody.

Perhaps Jesus Campos was the shooter who wanted to kill as many pro-Trump country music people as possible.

Did the FBI ever look into the Hispanic couple who told concert-goers "you're all gonna die tonight" 45 minutes before the concert started?

Perhaps if the FBI told us the TRUTH, that might've started a Civil War against all Hispanic invaders.

FBI can’t figure out the motive of muslims shouting “allahu akbar” when they kill dozens. Or why Hillary had a private email server. Or that a Hillary-bought dossier is not factual.

Expecting the FBI to figure out the Vega shooting is like expecting a 5 year old who just learned 2+2=4 to prove Fermat’s Last Theorem.

It’s no mystery to me. Paddock wanted to kill country fans, who tend to be white and conservative.

DOJ/FBI really on a roll...apparently Huber hasn’t found anything either after 2 years.

It’s no mystery to me, either. This was a gun sale gone bad.

“FBI doesn’t find it’s own ass with both hands.”

Just wait until they get rolling on bump stock owners then we’ll see how ruthlessly efficient they are.

The FBI for whatever reason has elected not to disclose what its investigation revealed, or what it concluded, was the motive for the Las Vegas shooting.

If he had shot up a rap concert they wouldn’t have any trouble finding a motive.

It is time for the FBI to be disbanded.

Mueller has shown he’s willing to send dozens of armed FBI agents to a pre-dawn raid on anyone for any reason. If Huber does find anything, he may be “persuaded” to cooperate rather than go through the hell Mueller can put ANYONE in. Even Trump doesn’t have that power.

Huber may be as corrupt as the rest of them. But “the rest of them” are a 4th branch of government with more power than the other 3 combined. That’s not disputable, and Huber may have (understandably) decided to join them.
