We learned more about a teenager in a red hat in a few days than we’ve learned about this guy in months.

Even crazy people have "motives," however far-fetched they may seem to normal people.

I can go along with a big casino money conspiracy on this one, someone should make a highly biased documentary explaining how Big Casino made this happen/go away

I was just thinking about the Vegas shooting this morning.

Such a sad thing.

What sort of motive is the preferred conspiracy theory suggesting?

In other words, what sort of motive would people have believed?

Nothing short of him being a plant by the left to bring about gun control talks.

The most reasonable explanation was that the “shooter” didn’t shoot anyone, but was a patsy. The leading theory is that there was an attempt on the life of the Saudi Arabian crown prince, Muhammed Bin Salmon that same night. He was also allegedly videoed on the strip that same evening. The “shooter” was an arms smuggler who used the casino to launder money. After providing the arms for the attack, he was killed and staged to look like the shooter.
The shooting up of the concert was meant to do two things: 1. as a diversion to keep emergency response vehicles from being able to arrive in time to rescue the prince should he only be wounded, and 2. To blow up fuel tanks at the nearby airport to ground flights and cover their escape.

The upper floors of the Mandalay Bay Casino were owned by rival Saudi Prince, who was a huge Clinton Foundation doner and a massive stakeowner in twitter and several american major tv networks. The assassination attempt was meant to trigger a coup that would put him on the thrown in Saudi Arabia, but it backfired completely. The crown prince was unharmed, and the rival prince was arrested, imprisoned, and had much of his wealth confiscated.

The FBI is trying to keep the whole thing quiet because the arms smuggler was one used routinely by the FBI and CIA for all kinds of clandestine operations, and was allegedly involved in a lot more than just smuggling weapons. He was supposedly tied to sex trafficking and a pedophile ranch out in the Philippines.

However, all of this is just speculation.

The only conspiracy theory I’ve heard that makes sense is that it was a CIA job and this guy was just the patsy. They killed him before any shots were fired and left him to take the blame.
