As virtually everyone has noted from the abundant video footage of the incident, it certainly sounds as if the shooter used either fully-automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons modified (through, for example, a bump fire stock) to closely simulate automatic fire. Moreover, the police are reporting that he had “more than 10 rifles.” He apparently rented his corner room for days and may have even set up cameras to detect when police were approaching. That’s all strange enough, but it’s even more unusual when you consider that his own family apparently didn’t know that he maintained a stockpile of guns.

Put all this together, and the shooting is flat-out bizarre. It’s significantly different from virtually any other mass shooting in U.S. history. If the weapons were fully automatic, then he likely would have spent immense sums of money to obtain them legally, jumping through extensive legal hoops.
[snip]
So, a person who’s “not a gun guy” has either expended untold thousands of dollars to legally purchase fully-automatic weapons, somehow found them on the black market, or purchased and substantially modified multiple semi-automatic weapons — and did so with enough competence to create a sustained rate of fire. This same person also spent substantial sums purchasing just the right hotel room to maximize casualties.

Given the firepower and the packed mass of people, it’s easy to see how the casualty count was so high, even firing from an extreme range (by the standards of mass shootings.) This was the University of Texas tower attack on steroids, conducted out of nowhere, with meticulous planning and at great expense, from a person who doesn’t seem to fit any normal profile of a mass shooter. There is much we have yet to learn, but for now, this is one of the most chilling and mysterious events I’ve ever seen.

I read he had 23 weapons.
Does that make sense to anyone?
Your post makes a lot of sense
None of their business.
I wonder if the insurance company has a database of tragic "boating accidents" ? /cliche>
That is also a very legitimate way to look at the process of the so-called news.
But, facts have a habit of persisting and prevailing. Besides, you’re no worse off waiting than to accept the distortions and inaccuracies they put out initially.
That’s why we’re born with brains; to filter out the bullshit.
He had no military background. Did he do all this alone? Where did he learn about guns?
I read yesterday his girlfriend was in the Phillipines but this morning I read she was located in Tokyo. He had her ID. What did she have?
He is being reported to be “rich”, “multi-millionaire”, lives in hotels for weeks at a time, plays $100/hand poker, owns numerous houses, two airplanes, etc. I’ve also read he is worth $2M. That all doesn’t add up to me. You’d blow through $2M pretty quickly with that lifestyle.
We’ll learn the truth in the coming days. Long after the left has established a narrative to somehow blame Trump.
That you, Robbie?
——he may have robbed a few banks himself——
He was an internal auditor. I would guess he didn’t rob banks but coluded with the treasurer to embezzle
When people snap there’s not a lot of planning. This guy had this planned far in advance.
.
The guy is a known heavy gambler.....
Casino’s make room for them....even last minute when totally booked....
However I’ve seen nothing that stated he booked the roon last week or 4 months ago...

What ever happened to the days when the reporters would be on the scene of a crime hard on the heels of police, taking photos of the crime scene and interviewing people. Now the police seem to throw up an impenetrable wall and we never find out what the crime scene actually looked like until the place has been sanitized, and often not unless there is an actual criminal trial. In this case, with the perp dead, will any of this crucial information ever be released publicly?
Who knows, he may have been under the control by the enemy and his demons. Possessed.
Maybe not as bizarre as everyone thinks:

Some ideas over here.
Or live in DENIAL.
try oann instead of typical news sources
Wasn’t him, if you look it is a different middle name.
I saw a picture of his first wife. She looked Asian. So does his girlfriend. Coincidence?
good link, thanks for posting. What is so sad to me is that even on sites like this, people still think this war is about republicans vs. democrats. That seems to be the only context that they can see things in.
