Report on the news just said he had 11-15 guns in the room, but owned over 30.

White House Press Briefing currently in progress. Two questions in and the media is already asking about gun control.
Now less than 3 minutes later they are poking about the Puerto Rico response.

Priorities all out of wack.

I don't understand why Sarah Sanders wants that job. You just sit there and get peppered with gotcha questions by liberal hacks

Does anyone else find it strange? He's brother looks fairly average, the dad was a convicted most wanted bank robber and the shooter was at one time an accountant but plays the part of high stakes gambler? Something doesn't add up.

We've barely scratched the surface on what was up with this guy.

Let it play out.

A suite is a waste of money for most of that crowd during that weekend. Like staying at The Ritz or The Omni in NOLA for Mardi Gras?


The Ritz and The Omni are always booked solid for Mardi Gras.

As an American, aside from being sad, I'm pissed.

This terrorism (foreign or domestic) just ruins lives, and lifestyles. I realize there's no way to prevent all of these events, but it's sickening that people like this walk the same streets as us at some point in time.

That city will forever have this cloud over them, and it is unfair. Outdoor music festivals will no longer be the same.

I'm not even outraged from a political standpoint, just the fact that the terror era is widening and growing. We are almost becoming more numb to this stuff, because it happens so often around the world.

I don't know if there is a solution that is widespread. It's just disturbing that these things are more frequent in our society.

Eh, there's all kinds of medical related things that don't have high enough profit margins for hospitals to deal with. I understand the Red Cross can suck, but I'm not sure if blood is one of them.

So this guy was a retired accountant who used to work for Lockheed.

Should I warn my buddy who works in Lockheed's finance department?

Conspiracy theory #4: He knew something about Lockheed and the government found a way to rid of him.

Just woke up and picked up the thread where I left off at 7 this morning. Only new information is the body count this sick frick amassed. This is one odd situation. Nothing adds up. I’m starting to think this one is just a random crazy person without an agenda.

In regards to terrorism, I've seen a lot of outrage from celebrities, snowflake mega liberals, and others on Twitter that this isn't being called a terrorist attack - presumably because the guy was white.

However, in order to be considered an act of terrorism, there must be political motives of some sort. At this point, they don't have any idea, and there's certainly nothing yet that clearly points to a political motive. Because of that, this isn't considered a terrorist attack. TBD.

Maybe politically this isn't an official act of terrorism. But in the spirit of the root word terror, this is terrorism.

And if they did label it a terrorist attack, then Hollywood would say it's because his wife/gf is muslim and they're profiling him.

If Trump would've called it terrorism from the start, they would've been livid that he jumped to conclusions. As soon as the bullets started flying, we all knew Twitter would be melting down over whatever Trump's response was.

The only reason is that it's incredible to put on your resume'. You deal with the garbage for a year, step down, and can pretty much choose from any PR job openings in the private sector.
