His wife was not in the country and is apparently an Aussie of Indonesian heritage

That's one slim thread possibly connecting him with Islam...Indonesia is mainly muzzie

Damn, ISIS claims the sky is chartreuse, ISIS claims each of their “warriors” is Godzilla, ISIS claims, and claims, and claims . . . . . .

ISIS can’t get out of Lebanon without a tour bus convoy. Even Hezbollah doesn’t want them and ships them out to the one place that the US, Russia, SDF and the Kurds are all zeroing in on. Al-Raqqua, their so-called HQ, has only 10-15% of the city in their control. School kids are back in schools in Tabqa.

Then they want to claim they orchestrated this?

If he is a Bernie Boy, going to take a lot of gymnastics to bury this kind of massacre but the leftist media always finds new ways of making these kinds of stories disappear.

I’m skeptical that one shooter can kill 59 people and wound 500. Has to be more than one shooter. If this was a thriller novel, the storyline would have terrorists setting up the guy who has a gambling problem and who hangs out in Vegas and is known there and can perhaps could move more freely in that hotel. Food for thought. I’m just guessing.

The girlfriend was Indonesian (87% Muslim), and she vacationed in Dubai (100% Muslim) two years ago. Neither statement proves anything, but the combination makes me wonder. The shooter is a perfect 10 on the loser scale; I imagine he would be an easy mark for a younger woman trying to lead his actions.

The suicide is convenient.

Isn't it though. Like something out of the movie "Telefon"

Of course this thing is probably just how it looks (deranged shooter), but still...there are a few peculiarities.

Like, how he GF is reportedly married to someone named Geary Danley of Arkansas, and there is a prominent leftist with the same name.

Found it:

After the tweet began to go viral, the user deleted it and then wiped her entire account.

“Very disturbing that this woman is a teacher,” commented the Columbia Bugle. “Tragic that a woman as sick as her is teaching young minds.”

Not exactly. The reports I've seen indicate that he was a licensed pilot and was apparently a financially successful retiree.
