Anybody think this may be a scorned lover scenario? The girlfriend was Marilou Danley. Danley started living with Paddock in 2013. She and her husband, Geary Danley jointly filed for divorce in February 2015.

Marilou Danley is an Australian citizen, born in the Philippines. She is currently traveling to the Philippines.

Perhaps she told him it was over and left. He was broken up about it and decided to inflict the same pain on others.

I know I am spit balling here, but it is as good a motive as anything else right now.

jD21 already solved it a couple of posts ago. Try to keep up.

I heard a doozy today. Shooter was actually anti-2nd amendment. Figured there was a high percentage of 2A proponents at a country music festival. Wanted to show them/US no matter how many people you arm, there's always going to be a way to inflict max damage with victims having no chance of stopping them.

That's Duffy level conspiracy theory thinking right there.

News reports are now saying authorities discovered several bump stocks in the shooter's room. Don't know if that's true or not as yet, though.

I was thinking the same after her photo was released and news that she is a woman sought by the police. I heard she is/was in Tokyo heading back to America now. The brother has his thoughts but Marilou will give a lot of insight on what the hell lead up to this massacre.

DISH is how we do it.

I spare you an hour of your time launching into another multi paragraph nonsensical tirade and delete my post. If there’s any truth to it the media will bring it forth.

Interesting NPR interview that indicates there are going to be a lot of heroism stories. Apparently first responders weren't allowed on site for a really long time. Until the site was officially declared safe. So there were civilian concert-goers effectively doing CASEVAC, moving people from the concert venue to where EMTs could see them. The guy who was interviewed said he saw some guys make 4-5 trips back into the concert, carrying person after person out. Pretty amazing.

Another interesting story is that hotel security apparently confronted the gunman very quickly. But the gunman fired through the door as they tried to enter, so they retreated to wait for SWAT.

Yeah, one of the usual interviews with an "expert" said a common theme with most mass killers is some sort of personal loss. Whether money, job, relationship, etc. Whether ISIS or not.

The only two running theories that make any sense are massive gambling loss and/or relationship loss. Really doesn't appear political or religious.

Next thing you'll do is insult me by calling me "college boy," or "book nerd."



And if that happens, you'll come back here and make me eat crow, forgetting that the question was not whether or not he's an anti-trumper, but the idea that anti-trumper's are "the usual suspects" when it comes to mass shootings.

Sorry to hear of your experience. Glad you are okay and sorry for the others.

Out of respect I'll bow out of the thread.

I won’t come back and say anything and I hope it’s not true. He a psychopath regardless what set him off and I shouldn’t have posted what I did - it’s actually out of character for me to do so. I didn’t appreciate your posts on this thread and I let it cloud my judgement which I regret.

FWIW - I didn’t intend to state anti-trumpers were the usual suspects - I meant that terrorists are the usual suspects. That’s what I get for typing a post before thinking it through.

Duffy is that you? Damn druid...

Jesus Christ, the guy was in Vegas. Couldn't he just bang hookers for 7 days straight instead of this shit?

Sorry don't know shit about guns. He was using an AK47 and AR15, are these illegal in the USA?

I just read that the shooter is a real estate investor worth millions.

You should lock up all millionaire real estate investors until you can figure out what’s going on.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

I know I'm speaking with 20/20 hindsight, and maybe this was said but...

I saw the video with Jason Aldean being rushed off the stage. You think at that point he'd use the microphone and tell everyone to leave the area. He could have been safe off stage and still used the microphone.

Fair enough.

Who's your Daddy? This is getting air time in Las Vegas now. Maybe the apple didn't fall far from the tree when either / both gambling and/or relationship losses became too much...[/img]

I thought of that too, but he got rushed off stage without the mic and probably didn't know where the shots were coming from. Even if he had a mic, he could have either said run for cover or get the heck out of there. Maybe that would have caused a stampede. I'll bet he stays in Vegas though, comforts victims unlike Grande who fled right after.

Any halfway competent executive protection specialist will hustle his principal out of the area of perceived danger as quickly and as forcefully as it takes. To cover and concealment, at minimum, and completely away from the scene if possible, as fast as possible.

"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

That's exactly right. A protection specialist is hired to protect the person paying them. Period. They are not there to help others.

Really why bother trying to contemplate scenarios and motivations in any situations like this? Nothing on that front is clear, we're not experts, the authorities will do their job and figure out what the motivations are as best as they can in the circumstances. As poor armchair quarterbacks on this, so to speak, throwing out wild scenarios and speculations seems disrespectful to the victims of this madman.

It may be pointless to speculate but I don’t see how it’s disrespectful.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

I guess it seems disrespectful to me because it's as if something like this happening gives justification to those whose instinctual desire is to grab onto any possible topic and circle jerk with their irrelevant speculations. There are plenty of other topics for that which don't take away from the victims and heroes.
