Mark my words... Someone is covering up the Las Vegas shooting.
So the shooter had 23 weapons and shot a video of himself murdering Americans.
He wired money to the Philippines.. An ISIS hotbed. Photos of him in the Philippines.
His Phillipino girlfriend is now a person of interest. No one knows where she is. Photos of her in Dubai have surfaced.
This was ISIS. I could be wrong... but I'm not.

I dunno. It's a weird situation. Old white man in ISIS don't make sense but neither does shooting at 40k innocent people.

I'm not saying it's not possible. I always thought ISIS as the young goat herders terrorist group.

ISIS also doesn't claim responsibility for attacks without "at least being loosely linked".. per the AP.

Well let's see how this shakes out.
I saw where he had financial stress whatever that is. Maybe ISIS bankrolled him.
I dunno.

RE: Mark my words... Las Vegas was ISIS
The GF is due back in the states tomorrow. Maybe she can shed some light on this. It makes absolutely no sense. The guy was very wealthy and generous with his wealth. His brother alluded that and said on camera today.. " He made me wealthy". He gambled a LOT and saw it as entertainment. That goes against him having a beef with the casinos. Sending money to the GF goes against some lovers quarrel that make him go ape schit. He planned the hell out this and even checked into another hotel last week in Vegas overlooking a different music festival. Could have been a dry run?
Its going full tin foil..but..I think he did this for a very sinister reason that we can not imagine yet. This was well planned and thought out. Not the doing of a pissed off casino gambler, jilted lover or hater of Jason Alden music.

His wife broke up with him because of a country song?
If he really was wealthy as some of you claim, he was crooked. If he was crooked, there's no telling what was going on in his head.

RE: Mark my words... Las Vegas was ISIS
Yes I will go further and say that he was Antifa/ISIS. If you do the research you will find that Antifa has been receiving training from ISIS. Question, how can you bring in that many guns, cameras, etc., in a very tight secured hotel-casino if there wasn't help from somewhere? To claim this guy was mental and acted alone is just crazy. The attack was very sophisticated and well planned. Yes Philippines, as the OP stated, is the sight of a current battle against ISIS groups who are attempting a caliphate. ISIS came out and claimed responsibility. Another thing, he targeted a country music event-who many relate to Trump conservative supporters. Coincidence? Don't think so.

It was reported he was a multi millionaire. Reports say he did it in real estate. That is possible without being crooked. Lots of money can be made quickly in that game if you are lucky or good at it. The fact he was a pilot and owned two planes is interesting also. Someone here guessed smuggling. That could be possible.

RE: Mark my words... Las Vegas was ISIS
The Philippines connection and ISIS taking credit are two big red flags for me that this could be related to them. Why did the guy wire $100k to the Philippines the week before? I wouldn't be surprised if the wife doesn't show

Exactly. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots. Ammonium Nitrate in his car?

RE: Mark my words... Las Vegas was ISIS
Wouldn't it be more beneficial to the right-wingers if it's proven that Paddock had zero connection with ISIS? If it's proven to be false (which I suspect is the case), then that will show that ISIS is getting desperate and is much weaker than the past. Sort of like Baghdad Bob.
I'm still sticking to my 2nd theory - angry old guy who pretty much is mad at everyone. At first I thought maybe ex-employee of the casino, but he has no history of employment at any Vegas casino. He's a heavy gambler, who unsuccessfully sued a different casino for a fall a few years back. He probably was on a losing streak. His girlfriend did work for some casinos but maybe she wasn't thrilled with the industry either. He was trying to hurt the gambling industry in the most high profile way he could come up with. Supposedly he had cased a different music festival earlier that featured Chance the Rapper. Probably it wasn't an ideal set-up and he picked this venue instead.

RE: Mark my words... Las Vegas was ISIS
Paddock bought some of his guns in Phoenix, where they are located. I wonder if he (who supposedly was never a "gun guy") ever had any contact or training at that club.
Hmm
