I've never been a conspiracy theorist, but this just doesn't feel right

I'm not even sure exactly what it is, but watching the coverage something just feels off. The shooter's background, the complete lack of apparent skill with weapons, the timeline, the arbitrary nature of when he shot himself prior to knowing police were coming in...it's weird.

For some reason I keep thinking about that movie "Arlington Road".

You aren't allowed to post alternative theories here, get inline baw.

Is there ever a time someone just goes crazy and loses a grip on reality without a conspiracy being tied into it?

I certainly understand your confusion.

Stay right where you are, and someone will be by shortly to fully explain.

I'm with you, just on its face, some gooberish middle aged man(with no military history or training) pulling this off doesn't feel right. Maybe we'll learn more that will hint at some kind of training or capability but right now it just seems a little off. Did you see the interview with his brother? I had the same thought as you after watching that

I've never seen such a scarce amount of online activity by a shooter

He has no Facebook, instagram nothing

So you think he was set up by an anti-government group?

Probably has something to do with the fact that he was over 60.

Sure, but people generally don't just "go crazy" apart from a history of mental illness or a dramatic life stressor.

I know, right!

This occurred what, 15-16 hours ago? and we don't know all the pertinent details to satisfy our hunger for information on what is the deadliest shooting in American history? obviously they are hiding something. textbook black bag op.

I'll await TX Tiger's valuable insight before jumping to any conclusions.

It's just like Lee Harvey Oswald and John David Hinckley. Neither one of them were online, either.

I bet this guy becomes something like Stephen Bob Paddock soon.

I don't have any particular theory, it just feels wrong.

Maybe it's just the idea of a sane 60 year old dork with no skills pulling this off that bothers me, IDK. I want it not be that simple because that's more disturbing honestly.

Prolly, but is there ever a time that someone shoots up a country music concert, preplanned, and just so happens he fuvkin hates conservatives?
