That might be a fun challenge if you know how to operate a riding crop.

I really dislike how Drudge will pay links to Infowars. I end up reading almost an entire article before I realize that's the site I am on, and that some of all of the article is speculative crap.

Especially the latest one which is very dishonest. The sheriff didn't say he was possibly radicalized. He gave a very evasive non-answer to a question about radicalization, the typical answer a police officer.  This is expected from Infowars, but I'm very disappointed in Drudge letting this pass as a headline.

How many creepy freeptards claim to have these young asian wives?

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

A lot.  American women are turned off by their woman-hating recliner-bound selves don't appreciate their charms.

[Silver Pines]

Oh, @Jazzhead !!  I'm SO glad you're OK!  Praise God!!

@musiclady

I agree, Jazzhead.

This one will be a hot mess, indefinitely.  Any investigating body from the federal government will be mistrusted.   That many people involved will generate literally thousands of different and contradicting eyewitness testimonies.   The 24 hour news cycle and rush to be first will generate misinformation and disinformation.  Internet trolls will muddy the waters. 

It will probably go on for years. People still believe the DC sniper had some connection to jihad.

Yep, and the internet/social media just makes it worse. I know highly intelligent, educated professionals who otherwise wouldn't believe nutty CTs still honestly think that Sandy Hook was a hoax done by actors.

LOL. Hilarious.

It's amusing to me to see how all of a sudden, Infowars sees Islamic terror as a threat, when 15 years ago, they were pushing that 9/11 was an inside job perpetrated by the Bush administration.

It's all a dog-and-pony show.

Very good point..

Bill Hicks aka Alex Jones is just a character playing to whatever audience works a the time.

[Restored]

And you really believe "we" will be told the real motive?

If it fits a decent narrative, yes. If it involves Islam, no.

Wasn't that long ago either that Alex Jones was talking about how Sandy Hook was one of these nefarious "false flag" operations.

Clearly he will say whatever sells or gets more website clicks.

Particularly since McCabe is leading the investigation. Can you say coverup? McCabe you may
recall lead the Hillary (non) investigation and the investigation that concluded there was no
political motivation involved with the DC softball shooting where the shooter asked if the ball
players were republicans.

Our government would never lie to us.

When people talk about "false flag", I immediately think "nutcase". It's reminds me of  "Who are you going to believe; me or your lying eyes?".

Used to be the only ones that used that term were the nut jobs over at DU.

Sadly it's now permeating the vocabulary of the right as well.

@Frank Cannon

I notice Frank failed to note which end of the crop he expects you to operate.

[LadyLiberty]

He was a frequent visitor, prior room booking or attempted booking mean nothing. The facts are he targeted and killed country western fans. Country Western fans are God and Country people. They are mostly conservative.  That you are seeing in the media is SOP, deflect, obfuscate, change the topic.

The guy killed conservatives and more than a few liberals were happy about that. Those are the facts thus far.

Chance the Rapper's stuff has a Christian theme.  Maybe the murderer was after Christians.

@Jazzhead glad you are OK.

Sadly with the weapons he had and the packed crowd we are quite lucky the death toll wasn't higher.  I bet a lot of his bullets went high and onto the airport across the street.   Also the distance meant the bullets had lost a lot of their energy before hitting people, probably reduced the injuries a little. 

No if there were more than one lunatic and they had any training the toll would have been much higher.

Back in the US: Marilou, 62, was seen in a wheelchair while clutching a suitcase and shielding her face with a visor. It is unclear why she was in a wheelchair

I don't know if it means anything, it could simply just have been removed, but it isn't on the Facebook page referenced.

This really doesn't provide evidence that there were two people there, he just ordered 2 of several items and they thought it was for 2 people because of that. It could be he was eating a lot of his favorite foods before he died. He may have made double orders as to have fewer trips out of his room or for room service to come into his room. Heck, he may have called up a hooker that night for one of his last days on earth.
Or it could be fake.

Could these be 2 of the same receipt?  One is marked "Duplicate."

I'm sure if it is real, someone just went into the POS and printed a copy after the shooting, which is why it shows that.

I thought he checked in on the 28th?  This receipt is dated Sept 27.

@driftdiver

Agree totally.  This could have been a lot worse has be been a couple hundred yards closer.

I was and still am honestly surprised that with the airport being as close as it was to the venue that there wasn't any damage to any of the airplanes.

@mystery-ak
There are hookers ......errrr escorts all over those casinos.    It could easily have been one of those nice ladies.   

A single male walking thru the casinos needs to be really careful who he makes eye contact with.    At least thats what a friend told me.
