I can't tell if I'm triggered or ready to rofl. Maybe both?

I think we're all leaning toward this being a terrorist act though.

Didn't everyone on social media screech about the dude who drove his car into some fat commie mud shark being a terrorist act? Why wouldn't this be considered one then from the start?

Because there's still a chance this doesn't have the requisite motive. His targets weren't affiliated with any political or idealist groups and he himself wasn't so far. There's still a chance this is some nutjob that gambled too much and decided to suicide and take out some innocent people in the process.

Highly, highly unlikely (like close to 100% unlikely IMO), but until we know for sure we can't say it was terrorism. It's like that whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing even when we know the accused is guilty AF - it's not terrorism until we know it is.

In my opinion the authorities have a pretty good idea of his motive but aren't sure how to properly frame it without seriously pissing a certain few groups of people off. I think the motive is so highly politicized that if they don't tread extremely carefully the mere mention of the motive can spark a fuse.

Breaking news: Looks like the guy rigged his car to explode, so that "highly, highly unlikely" scenario I mentioned in previous reply is 100% unlikely now instead of 99.999% unlikely.

"It's like that whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing "

but this only applies in a court of law, has nothing to do with public outlook of the situation. we been doin this since OJ baby~

Investigators are trying to nail down whether anyone else was in the hotel suite reserved by the Las Vegas gunman during the time he was registered there, multiple senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation into the shooting told NBC News.

The investigators are puzzled by two discoveries: First, a charger was found that does not match any of the cell phones that belonged to Stephen Paddock, the man who killed himself inside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino after sending a barrage of bullets down on a crowd of 22,000 people below.

And second, garage records show that during a period when Paddock's car left the hotel garage, one of his key cards was used to get into his room.

There are several possible explanations for these anomalies, the investigators say, but they want to get to the bottom of it.

They are also examining his finances. IRS records show that Paddock was a very successful gambler, earning at least $5 million in 2015. Some of that could be from his other investments, but most of it was from gambling, officials say.

the parking garage there is full of security cameras btw, there was a second person in the room at some point, feds likely know who they are, and are keeping silent.

bomb making ingredients inside the car as well

and he shot at aviation fuel tanks near the car in attempt to blow up the valet lot. a recent change to the construction of these tanks and a little bit of chemistry thwarted his plan:

That's not really what I mean [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I mean you can't say something is terrorism without proving it is. You can say maybe it's terrorism.

MSM also claiming he made $5 mil playing video poker last year, pretty much confirms that he was gambling to launder money.

Professional accountant. They know what to do, usually.

car was at mandalay bay getting parking tickets before feds claim he arrived in vegas.

i don't think it proves he was at mandalay bay seeing as we know his car was being driven while key swipes were made to access the mandalay bay room, but its another indicator of heavy premeditation and that multiple people may have been involved in setting this up.

floor plan of the room shows two exits by the way, which brings a lot of the 2 shooter and/or arms sale to terrorists gone wrong theory a bit more plausible again.

sadly they're going to probably eliminate the room number and seal off the suite for good. shame, because i wanted to book it.

often times mass shooters have an event that causes them to snap and so far he's estimated to have been planning this for 11 months, can you guys remember what happened back then in nov 2016?
