Route 91 fest Vegas shooting?
A bat-shit crazy multi-millionaire lunatic. This bitch was a sick, sick, human.

Just disgusting. The precision involved with pulling something like this off had to have taken him weeks to plot, if not months.

Possession of fully automatic weapons is legal in Nevada. He probably went through the long process to legally obtain them (if they were indeed, truly fully automatic).

Perhaps a real link to Islam is actually present here in this situation. ^

It would at least be a bit easier to understand.

It's just a feeling, mind you, but I think that no overt cause will be found, because such a cause does not exist. I think he was simply insane. You'd have to be.

As posted above, the sick bastard must have planned this for weeks, or months. Regarding his father the bank robber, it brings to mind James Cagney at the end of White Heat. I wonder if the date of the concert has a personal signifigance, such as a birthday/death day, and he decided to go out in the ultimate psychopathic thrill. Rot in Hell.

So, here's where I need help to understand the timeline.

It was reported that the firing started at 10:00PM or thereabouts, and lasted 4 and a half minutes by most reports I read.

It took SWAT/Police 72 minutes to get to his room and gain entry.

He was reportedly already dead.

So, did he kill himself five minutes after he started firing?

Did I misunderstand and firing went on for 72 minutes?

Or something between 5 minutes and 72 minutes?

I'm not looking for anything except to understand the timeline.

(And it's been a very sad day.)

Who cares? Both things do not matter. As Trump said, this was evil. By grouping people into different things like religion or political groups it makes them easier to demonize and exterminate.

I disagree. Knowing if he was a convert would potentially clarify motivation. Knowing if he was a kool-aid drinking libtard, like the Republican ball team shooter, would also potentially clarify motivation. I grant that knowing this nutjobs motivation doesn't change what happened, still.... And no, I don't see such leading to any extermination or demonization.

Looking at Fox now- it's all speculation- he placed large bets, but they don't know if he won or lost.

His family says he was a retired millionaire with no recognizable religious or political beliefs.

His girlfriend is in Tokyo.

Oh, and Fox reports that the guy's family says they believe that he just "snapped", but the police dismiss this outright, After all, it takes "months of planning" to bring a bunch of firepower into a hotel room and - get this- set up cameras to see if the police come after him. Huh? Huh? Months of planning, if not years. Roll Eyes

I'm looking at the facts as we know them and I'm wondering where is all the laborious planning. Think about what he did. Why are we ascribing genius to this? Please tell me the great difficulties the unassuming white guy with the Platinum Card had to overcome to set this up.

Since you asked, Dr. Reid Meloy, clinical psychologist is at the top of the field. I have corresponded with him and read his books. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to understanding violent behavior, and mass shootings. LINK:
