This story keeps getting stranger. Now the sheriff is saying they believe there were multiple people involved and the woman who was reported telling everyone at the concert line that they "are all going to die" is in custody. His girlfriend is also being questioned since he wired her $100,000. I feel like this is going to be a crazy story once all the details come out.

Guns are a religion for a lot of American's and especially for alot of these militia groups and gun clubs.

Dear Jesus, they'll only get my gun if they pry it out of my cold dead hands.

They'll see some move by the US Government to ban or even seize weapons as the act of an oppressive government and they will fight and they will die to defend that right.

Journalists are not the smartest people in society by a long shot. National media doesn't bother getting it right either. They just copy and paste from local news. News agencies only make money by getting people either angry or scared.

Ok, this is a bit alarmist

What the Sheriff said was that based on the number of guns that he had, there's an assumption that he had help acquiring that many guns and ammo. That's a far stretch from multiple people involved in the shooting.

They questioned her about the shooting and stated that she didn't know anything about it, the $100,000 dollar wired to the bank in the Phillipines could have been basically him making sure that she was taken care of before he did this, or it might have been something else fairly innocent. It was stated that she was worried about him breaking up with her when he gave her the ticket to go visit her family and the $100,000 was for property purchases.

The woman in line story is a concert goers witness statement about a woman pushing into the concert and threatening people in the front row, but come on its a concert, stuff like that happens all the time.

Like I said. There are more questions and people wanted articles so I posed them. We don't know any of the details law enforcement know.

I know your being a snarky dick but it's not a wrong statement. We're not getting the full picture here.

First link - Well they don't know if anyone else was involved, they are looking into it. As far as I am aware the evidence doesn't point to that yet.

Quote:
The comment appeared to earn a veiled rebuke from the agent overseeing the FBI’s investigation.
“Theories are great and everyone can have a theory,” said Aaron Rouse, who runs the bureau’s Las Vegas division, and took to the lectern immediately after the sheriff’s comments. “But I need to deal with facts. The sheriff needs to deal with facts.” He added: “He’s not going to make assumptions. I’m not going to make assumptions.”
From the other 2 links there is literally nothing on it other than they found an "Asian gran" whatever that means.

So far it sounds like a lot of speculation and nothing factual? That doesn't mean the story is getting stranger as we still don't know what is fact and what is fiction. Any story can get strange with the right tinfoil hat.

Yeah when it’s a white shooter it’s important to wait and gather all the facts before making any judgements. This wasn’t some dark Muslim where we instantly can discern motives and intent. It was an old rich white man and as such he deserves to have his motives carefully examined until it can be determined he was unquestionably a lone wolf or a puppet of foreign masters.

Right.

We’re all happy you’re up to speed now.

Although you missed “false flag” in your OP.

— The alleged gunman, Stephen Paddock, may have planned to escape the scene.

— The note authorities found in Paddock's hotel was not a suicide note.

— Paddock visited several music festivals in the Las Vegas area.

— Paddock booked hotel rooms in Chicago in August overlooking the Lollapalooza music festival.

— Authorities have recovered 47 firearms so far from three locations connected to Paddock.

— Paddock reportedly had been stockpiling firearms since 1982 and purchased 33 guns in the past year.

— Paddock was seen gambling for eight hours straight on the night before the shooting.

— Paddock's girlfriend returned to the United States for questioning.

— Paddock was seen with another woman, who was not his girlfriend, in the days before the shooting.

Latest "facts" from the Sheriffs department.

Sometimes I worry that my penchant for posting over the top comments that are absolutely dripping with sarcasm may get overlooked but it’s times like these that really makes it all worth it, you know?

Sometimes I worry my penchant for replying with over the top sarcasm is lost on people posting with over the top sarcasm. But hey maybe we should get together and use green text next time.
