Las Vegas Shooting
- Thread starter CDG
- Start date
I can't recall any other mass shooting or terrorist attacks that took so long for a motive to come out.
Interestingly enough as well, I don't think any terrorist group has claimed the Mogadishu blast either.

That is very interesting. All fingers are pointing at Al Shabab, but I wonder if they're like "oh crap that wasn't what we wanted to happen" right now.
I was thinking along those same lines. AQ and ISIS have been the main populace's enemy and Al Shabab have been able to fly under the radar. I think they may have hoped ISIS claimed responsibility like they do for every other attack.
Desired results, none of the blame.

@ThunderHorse -
I saw every one of those stories today and just shook my head. Each one weirder than the other.
If this was a movie or TV show, we'd all say "of course he had kiddie porn. The corrupt federal agents set him up to get rid of him...."
Fortunately this is real-life and that kind of stuff does not happen....<eyeroll....LOL....head banging into wall> <I miss the old emojis>
Well, that fits with my theory, that just killing a shitload of people wasn't enough...that he wanted to mind-fuck everybody after offing himself.
The child abuse material isn't that surprising. The FBI would have taken his electronics to find out what comms he'd had with his brother and likely have found it that way. Unfortunately that shit is right through society.
Agreed. This was a disaster scale MASCAL that required knowledge of "battlefield medicine", both from civ and uniformed personnel there. I am sure there are AAR's/table top discussions going on to review. To add, I get the concept of that but you can practice for MCI's until you are blue in the face, obviously, you will fall back on training, but sometimes, that jerk off, Murphy, fucks you dry and all plans and procedures takes a massive shit and you are planning on the fly, I recall doing that one night on a 3 alarm HAZMAT fire as medical ops sector.
Also, it takes events like this to reinforce further training, especially for civ, use of TQ's. and the such. I'm the weirdo, taking Maria and her 2 neices to the mall. They shop at Justice, Maria loves the rings of course, I am looking for exits, places to bound or hide, I see the A.E.D./trauma kits complete with 25 TQ's, battle dressings and chest seals the mall was given from the local EMS agency. Thank lord, Maria actually has educated the girls on evasion procedures in case of bad shit. Thank God Maria does not live with her head up her ass.....

Aftermath:
She searched desperately for a man she helped after the Las Vegas shooting. Then she found him

Metro PD has been glacially slow to release information on this event. Every month or two they release video footage that is not helpful. People have been screaming for answers with no response. The LV Review Journal released this recently and it is a legitimate piece of the puzzle.

People want answers that they might never get. Everyone wants to know why, but that might not be ever known in this case.
Nothing is as it seems...
You think there was another gunman?
I mean I'm not an expert in automatic gunfire in an urban environment, but kinda think echo and "pop" are different decimals...
That said, if it was a "one" shooter situation, he is a bad motherfucker, with his "bump stock" guns and casualty list...
And the keep it hush-hush investigation...
In other words, no evidence to bring, but it ain't passing the sniff test.
