Someone likes privacy and therefore they are a potential mass murderer.

Same when they reported Lanza had his windows blacked out. SO? I have my windows blacked out, have for years because I sleep in on weekends. Doesn't mean anything nefarious.
I keep hearing about a conspiracy theory but I've yet to see to what end? What exactly is the conspiracy here and why is someone hiding something? Now, those answers need to make some kind of logical sense.

Nothing happened after the last dozen mass shootings. I am sure "they" are banking on this being the one that finally does it.

Why do people think the 'loner' thing makes it a conspiracy?

Not all loners are crazy, but most crazies are loners. If they were happy socially adjusted people, they wouldn't want to mass murder people. They are anti-social--this is one of the reasons they do this. They are punishing society because they've been rejected, yadayada, or for a zillion other reasons they carry a chip about. Their family, school bullies, rejection by friends or lovers--just outcasts. Who knows why they are disaffected?

What is interesting is the difference between serial killers and mass murderers. Serial killers seem to blend in and have more relationships. Mass murderers or those who 'go postal' do not have any real social bonds. They are loners.

it is an attempt to distract by NRA fanboys. they want the story to be about something vague and hazy, not banning these weapons.

There is literally not reason at all for any american to own any weapon vaguely like the ones used.

It's funny that the right wingers accuse liberals of being gullible, stupid, and unstable but then immediately jump on the conspiracy theory bandwagon when something like this happens. Gotta wonder about that.

At some point a right winger will turn this tragedy into a convoluted plot perpetrated by the government whose end goal is to take their guns. I'm a gun rights supporter but I just think the right wing have pushed their fear of losing those rights from being an area of concern into the realm of full on paranoia.

Well...

That's because libs tend to not tune into Fox News, Limbaugh or Alex Jones.

You know...

All the places for "real" right wing crackpottery.

Regarding cameras in hotels, Las Vegas hotels host many conventions, including trade conventions, so it would not be unusual for someone to be on video carrying in boxes. , or large pieces of luggage.

That would not cause anyone in the hotels staff to be suspicious.

* Shooter acted alone
* Shooter is "lone wolf": no friends, very little known about his life
* Superfluous stockpile of weapons at scene (more than is possible for 1 person to use)
* No video footage of the shooter entering the building
* Very little known about what the shooter did in the few days leading up to the shooting
* No photos of the shooter dead at the scene of his suicide
* Mass casualties; makes Columbine look like a Sunday school picnic by comparison

I just think this is very strange because there is 1000x more documented info about the Columbine shooters. And that was back in the 90s .... before there were many security cameras and before the digital Big Brother information age. Very strange.
Not much of a theory for me. Said persons were likely mentally unstable, hate people, and likely wanted to kill MORE people.

It is obviously an alien plot to disarm us before they invade us.












Or it isn't.
