Who would pick a black male, former military, current engineer, clean record, uses a hand gun. A good conspiracy theory have at least some truth mixed in to hang the BS on.


I am going to have to leave this forum if this is the best we can do.
The incident is unworthy of being called a conspiracy theory.

Yes, one CAN help wonder. One can choose to be logical and not hop on to every lunatic conspiracy theory. One can take off the tinfoil hat and turn off Alex Jones, and join the world of the sane. Try it.

Wouldn't ISIS have sent out videos claiming responsibility on Paddock?

One reason Parkland gets all that attention is because those students are engaged in liberal activism in a way that agrees with the media's agenda. The country fans in Las Vegas, the residents of Sunderland Springs and Virginia Beach are more conservative and don't blame guns so there's less coverage. Parkland and Newtown are already very liberal places and its not the shootings that galvanized them into liberal activism, it was more of a spark that got them to act on their already liberal tendencies.

The Charleston church shooting also got a lot of coverage as it allowed the media to paint the portrait of a racist America, of dangerous alleged Trump supporters and to attack the Confederate flag and Southern culture. Now on the record I do believe the Charleston, Sandy Hook and Parkland shootings really did happen. I'm on the fence about Virginia Beach. I do think the Las Vegas massacre happened but was commited by the federal government, not by Trump directly but by agents of the deep state seeking to undermine him and his agenda, perhaps with the cooperation of the media.
What did “ deep state” have to gain by shooting nearly 1000 people in Las Vegas?

22,000 people attended the Harvest Fest concert. Impossible to know the gun ideologies of 22,000 people.

I will never understand what moderators allow on this site and what they don't. Good God, it is infuriating. This isn't politics, it's the OP's fan fiction.

With each mass shooting that happens...more and more people are coming to agree that tougher gun control measures are needed in this country....if ENOUGH mass shootings happen, a majority of people could agree than NO citizen should be permitted to possess a firearm.


Thats what these shootings are about...changing public opinion on guns and gun laws, this is a much more effective way to disarm the public compared to using brute force...essentially, you get them to a mindset where they disarm themselves willingly!!

No, the two aren't even close. Paddock had deep state contacts and no visible means of support other than a " hobby" of being a casino gambler. He was a private pilot, had a wife from the Philippines and mysteriously amassed a huge arsenal of weapons even though he never showed any interest in firearms. And his brother... yeah. Let's just say Paddock was into human trafficking ( very probably), maybe drug trafficking, and God knows what else. And there were so many never answered questions in the slip shod bungled investigation/ cover up. Mysterious visitors, accounts of multiple shooters, specific timing and targets, eye witness is told to shut up and then gets paraded in front of the cameras on "Ellen" and changes his story and then... vanishes. MGM should have been bankrupted and sued for its involvement and Ellen should be off the air. I can't stand the sight of her even though once I was a fan.
Then this guy has anger issues and shoots up his workplace. No statement, he was a loner and had trouble connecting with people. Was it 'roid rage, was he on meds, or just a screwball.
So trying to make the Virginia Beach into a conspiracy is a pretty weak attempt at making smoke but little else. Although we're getting the guys backstory sanitized and the MSM is sitting on whatever did cause him to go off the rails. It doesn't sell an agenda so they'll keep it quiet and hope people speculate it was a conspiracy. That's the only conspiracy.
