Discussion: Sheriff IDs Suspect In Deadly Las Vegas Shooting As Stephen Paddock

Lombardo told reporters Monday morning that they do not know the exact weapons used, but that the shooter had rifles.

50 dead, 200 wounded? assault rifles.

next question, were they legally purchased.

He lived in Nevada, not the most restrictive state with regard to gun laws, so why wouldn’t they ?

“Lombardo told reporters around 6:30 a.m. Monday that police do not yet have a sense of a motive for the shooting, though authorities said they believe that the suspect acted alone.”

Huh…no sense of motive, but they are sure he acted alone.

And yet…

“Lombardo said that he’s confident that law enforcement has located a female person of interest, who was previously identified as Marilou Danley.”

So new definition of “alone”?

Lone pack of wolves theory, maybe?

Considering he thought it was Thursday when it was actually Wednesday I do not think it much matters what he thinks.

They are saying it was an automatic which is not legal to purchase anywhere in the US. Could have been purchased as a semi and converted to auto. It is not very hard to do.

Interesting how these mass shooters always seem to be white guys. The folks with the least to bitch about, but when they think their high place in society is being challenged they go off the deep end and take out a large number of folks, in this case the people that are the most like them. The disturbed mind can be a terrible thing.

Some more examples not all right wing or white but older

They were pointing out on the news this morning that most of them come apart and can be put into different bags or suitcases. Interesting that it almost seems like these things are made with the mass murderer in mind…hummmmm
