There’s Something VERY Strange About The Las Vegas Shootings
« on: October 02, 2017, 08:57:17 pm »
Details continue to pour in about last night’s mass shooting in Las Vegas, but for now one aspect in particular is a source of major confusion.

I think the brothers description of this azzhole is total bullshit. The fact that this dude was going from town to town and gambling without any visible means of income tells me he is not just some random retiree . This was not some dude having a spur of the moment melt down. This thing was carefully planned for a long time.

So to summarize this article....

We don't know anything, there is a lot of speculation, and we are just going to repeat the speculation to have an article on the subject, but we don't know....

From the article:

Again, there is a lot of unclear and disturbing information to sift through about this horrifying story.

Bingo.

And until it becomes clear, I for one refuse to speculate or drag political crap thought into it.

And, with apologies to David Ortiz, I'd like to say about Las Vegas that this is my bleeping city!
