LOL Inso aside, do we really have to nitpick details like this? You can all do better than that.
Literally the first result on my first search:

With post after post you're confirming that gun control works. Like what universe are you living in?

This is what is being posted by another resident dumb**** in POG. Apparently shows shots being fired out of a 4th floor window, even though no windows on the 4th were broken, and people who are consipiracy theorists don't understand that the windows of Mandaly Bay are super shiny and reflect lights from one of the most lit up cities in the entire world.

Video (which i haven't watched yet for reasons other than driving) apparently shows muzzle blasts coming from multiple locations (i.e. multiple shooters)

I challenge anyone who is a conspiracy theorist, to cheat on their significant other, then go tell 15 people that you know, and tell me how that works out for you.


Do these people realize the amount of people that would have to be in on it to even pull off something like this? It's so absurd.

Oh god if the 9/11 truther crowd has found the thread it’s time to lock it. All rational debate is over. These people are the dumb of the dumb, the ignorant of the ignorant. To a person they make Trump look like a genius.

DO NOT ENGAGE THEM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

Apparently CNN is saying he tried to book a suite (same suite?) for a music festival a week earlier - but couldn't get it because it was booked.

I heard talk of him allegedly attending the Life is Beautiful festival the week before?

In the end, yours just burden shifting and motivated reasoning of the fevered anti-Muslim mind. All mass murderers are potentially jihadis until proven otherwise, and no standard is provided as to what could ever prove it otherwise.

It's not a coincidence it's the same few people (you, jalfrezi, ChrisV, domer) who most seriously entertained this possibility (sorry Chris, I like you but you know it's a thing for you). That's a tell -- you guys consciously or subconsciously are titillated and enthralled with the potential he's some converted Muslim jihadi so you can wax hottakes on genocide and religious wars and whatever the **** else you guys prattle on about after Real Terrorist attacks. It's moments like this that lay it all bare. At least when a Muslim is behind the gun or the explosion, you have plausible deniability. Continuing to pine this dude is secretly ISIS and argue the judgement hangs suspended in the air forever is demonstrative of the warped mindset you tote around.
Not even sure what you are getting at here. I don't "want" it to be Islamic terrorism, so gtfo with the condescending attitude.

I am speaking of motive, of which there currently appears to be none. And yet we have baseless speculation about him going busto, having a brain tumor, his gf dumped him, crazy runs in his family, etc. Any wild theory is OK to speculate about I guess, as long as it's not the one that actually makes the most logical sense.

He amassed an arsenal including bomb making materials, planned and executed a massive attack killing and injuring hundreds. By all accounts he had plenty of money and was not crazy. ISIS official news agency claims responsibility (not "random ISIS twitter accounts").

These things all point to a possible motive and as the investigation unfolds we will likely find out of ISIS was just taking credit for the actions of a random wacko, or if he actually did convert to Islam. Why you act like it's some sort of moral failing to consider it a possibility is beyond me.

Latest news is he wired 100k to the Philippines shortly before the attack. Not the acts of a typical busto degen. Could be money to help the girlfriend or her family and be a nothingburger. But either way I'm not taking some FBI statement a few hours after the shooting as proof the ISIS claim was fabricated. If it was, we will find out as with other recent false claims of responsibility by ISIS.

His girlfriend is out of the country and was/is in the Philippines. He's a 63-year-old white dude with a high stakes video poker habit and absolutely no trace of Muslim ties so far. What does Occam's Razor say here?

Isis is silly. He is obviously Al-Qaeda
10-03-2017 , 10:17 PM
I heard he's with the Asian Dawn.
10-03-2017 , 10:18 PM
ISIS is usually good about claiming attacks that they actually do inspire. At least they don't claim attacks they could have because no one else claimed them. They've made mistakes before though.

The conspiratard is really strong on my Facebook today (the strobe light, even the double window thing which is super easy to look up). From some people, who while not the brighest people, I wouldn't expect to buy into this stuff.
