Bull. Many of you can't deal with the idea that you just may be wrong. Anything that disagrees with your worldview is automatically liberal. Also you might wanna talk to Trump and Milo:

I heard a report saying someone at the paper predicted this guy was going to go postal on them years ago. It sounds like other cases where people who know the nutbag sense they are capable of such acts, just like the Parkland shooter.
That said, the police can only do so much. Someone in the justice department needed to get a court order to evaluate him (Baker Act) to see if he was mentally unhinged or not. Otherwise the police cannot arrest someone because of suspicion of what they might do.
The people at the paper feared if they attempted to pursue charges, that would set the nutter off.

LE investigated.

Paper chose not to press charges as they thought it would set him off.

Whack job guy had no history of violence.

What exactly would you expect the Police to do?

I don’t grasp the need to blame anyone other than the shooter.

Police don't have the manpower to monitor every threat...
You cant stop it. But, you can interact with people face to face vice online... Think about it. How many people know their neighbors. If someone in my town was told I was threatening an individual, by the time I got home, my Father was waiting.. Now we are scared to call people out.. This guy shared his intent.. People failed to call him out..
And, if this was a shall issue state, and someone had a gun, shotgun, rifle, tanto knife, something concealed, and this guy came in blasting his shotgun, someone could have charged him, or returned fire. If you look at every mass shooting, as soon as perp is confronted by another armed person, they either surrender or kill themselves, for the most part. This guy stopped as soon as police arrive..One minute later, when seconds counted.

I said he looks like a Luciferian which would make him a deep stater/ Illuminati. He DID work for the federal government so that's some more reason right there. He's got dead, soulless eyes. And an evil smile. Like a Podesta.
But the media's almost completely in the service of the deep state so that blows that argument pretty much out of the water. Unless he was MK Ultra'ed and his trolley had then slipped off its tracks later and he chose another unassigned target.
That neck 'fro .... ugh.

The orginal reporter told police this guy was going to be a mass murderer. They didnt listen. The reporter was the one that wrote the original column that got the paper sued. She believed he was dangerous, very dangerous. In so many of these cases there is a history of some type of aberrant behavior. And family look the other way, agencies make excuses, and police have other things to do. Of course the shooter is to blame but society has failed the victims, thats why they are victims.

The problem is until the shooter crosses a line where they shouldn't have guns, there is no reason to take them away. This was all conjecture until it was too late like all too many cases of recent mass shootings. The communities knew this could happen but even if agencies got involved, they couldn't legally remove guns so they wouldn't do it. There In lies the issue. Then we have the only outlaws break laws so why bother with laws crowd too, but this argument of agencies failing is due to second amendment handcuffing the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The shooting in Vegas was likely perpetuated by people from within our own government, otherwise known as a false flag. Yes, I know that makes me a crazy conspiracy nut to some. Maybe some day people will overcome their denial as to how bad things really are. Some people are waking up:
