His Reno home is an apartment that’s listed for him on Zabasearch as 255 N Sierra Street #1513 in Reno.
No, no, no...two separate people. The teacher being referenced published a beyond the pale tweet stating that she was praying that the dead in Vegas were ‘Trumptards’. Many would like to see her fired.
Indonesia is majority muslim.
And what’s with the two Hispanics going through the crowd earlier saying, “they’re all around, you’re going to die”?
"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans."
--Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985

Yeah. What's with that.
And we don’t hear much about that dude anymore, do we...
ISIS is already here in the US. Been here for a couple years.
Thanks Jim. That info combined with the fact that ISIS isn’t in the habit of making false claims of responsibility leads me away from my original hunch.
“He had to use more than one automatic rifle”
Agreed. I have seen YouTube AK meltdown videos. There is no way he fired 1000 rounds in 10 minutes from one weapon. It sounded like an AK and had a clacking sound maybe a cheap Chinese AK and likely using two weapons and moving from one window to another.
Or he could have messed with the sear pin on an AK so that when you take the safety off it fires til the mag is empty.
Personally, I’d like to know more about this “roommate” of his, Marilou Danley. All we’ve really been told so far is that she’s out of the country, which frankly seems more than a little convenient to me.
Thinking-— here’s a guy said to be “making his living gambling” (riiiight). Who had he lost to recently and for how much. Did he make a trip to Dubai (to have the loss “made good”) in exchange for.... what? Thinking out loud— not good to do. And... where was hotel security as this guy built a “platform” (carrying in the parts in what way over several days, as he’s said to have been there since Wed/Thurs, and waited until headliner Aldean was on— targeting). Much to be learned of all this.
Shooter’ dad was on FBI most wanted list— and bulk shooting while bank robbery. Daddy’s regressed little loser boy. Could be as “simple” as that.
While lib/dems focus on (first by the serial wannabee Viet Vet/not Blumenthal, and then hitlery) the guns— conveniently. This guy’s back trail... there’s the details and a complete picture.
At work and cannot stay tuned to the news. How did we get to 515 wounded when it was 100 when I came to work?
10 weapons, and the audio reveals auto/machine gun rapid fire. Breaks in the gunfire for reloads. It is definitely possible from his sniper lair to do the deed solo.
Numbers initially are always in flux until they can be confirmed.......
Interesting note--NY Post has reported Paddock's father was once on the FBI Most Wanted. Bank robber.
Sure, run half a dozen windows each way just to get to the wrap around window side. That’s crazy. Just knock out the corner windows adjacent.
She was reportedly out of the country.
“Perfect 10 on the loser scale”?
Please explain.
I’ve been saying the same thing all morning. Virtual tour of the hotel would seem to indicate there were 2 separate hotel rooms. I think more than one person involved in this.
I read these same reports. I am suspicious as well.
he was 100% an MSNBC democrat...
