That’s what I am thinking. Try to pin it partially on someone who has no connection to Islam or some connection to the political or social right until after the election.

Nik I’m watching Charles on Fox and he has Scott Brown on again. Charles says, “You’ve been spending a lot of time with Trump lately”

.....Brown replies, “I talked with Mr. Trump before the speech and after the speech.”

Brown came out for Trump very early and is on Fox business a lot backing Trump’s decisions. What say you?

Makes me wonder if you could get weapons inside Disney. They only check your bags, no metal detectors as I recall. Haven’t been in a year. They don’t check strollers much at all. They don’t make the kid get out.

Unfortunately, there are many poor assumptions in your post.

Bullets from a .223 can penetrate and wound more than one person. In a crowded venue, it is quite likely that one shot will hit more than one person.

So we could easily be down to 60 shots, but I suspect that the number is closer to 210, which would allow for multiple hits on many people. That would be 7 30 round magazines. The loaded 30 round magazines are not that heavy they weight a bit over a pound, or less than 8 pounds for 7 loaded magazines. Numerous reports said that he was wearing a vest, which could easily be used for carrying magazines.

Even without a vest, ordinary pockets allow for 8 magazines. The bellow pockets on BDU pants allow at least two each, that is four. Then the front pockets allow one each, that is six, then the back pockets take one each, that is eight.

It would have been easy for him to use a small day pack or fanny pack to carry more magazines or accessories.

If everyone was running away from him, reloading would be easy, and he is supposed to have 1 or 2 pistols to use in the event of being attacked while reloading, which only takes a couple of seconds with a bit of practice.

It has also been claimed that the shooter had some training.

I have been surprised that other attacks have had relatively low casualty counts. At the close ranges in this case, all under 40 feet, probably much less, hits are very easy, especially into crowds that are attempting to flee. There were over 300 people reported to be in the club, and exits were minimal, at least one blocked.

Fish in a barrel comes to mind.

Not a Brown fan but Trump sees something there.

That does not make sense at all-he looked middle eastern and I wonder if he in fact was a very calm and collected accomplice.

Understood. The underlying crime can be conspiracy.

Were they all from the guns found on the murderer?

I am sure they have people on the inside that can get anything in or the stuff is already in there.

In the next few days !!!

They don’t have him now


Could be they already have him/her held in custody on a parole violation of whatever. Thus the seemingly casual arrest in the “next few days”.

Thanks for commenting on that post upthread. I was going address it myself but decided it best not to reveal how I might know certain things.

Needless to say, this is something that an individual with very little “training” could in fact execute themselves.

“Also thought it strange that after the first round of shots, the killer went out of the building and came back in, at least that was reported.”

That seemed odd to me too. That probably means the murderer outside joined the (already shooting) murderer inside.

Oops. Guess Hillary’s lone-wolf meme is getting ready to go down the toilet.
