alex jones?


No, it definitely wasn't Alex Jones. Some dude, looked to be in his 50's, never seen him before. I wish I could find the clip. Hell, I don't even know the name of the chick. Blonde hair and good looking is all I remember.

Did he drive to these events?

Airline records are kept and I am sure will be looked over. If the guy flew to Chicago for the festival, it is safe to assume he never had intent to shoot the place up. Maybe he was scoping out, or maybe he just likes Radiohead?


Not if he had co-conspirators. They could have delivered the weapons, but I agree with you though.

I know who you're talking about. There is a link in this thread or on one of the poli board threads with the interview. I'll try to find it.

Did they ever say what is in those tanks??


Could we call them "liquid storage containers". I don't want the next conspiracy theory saying that there were military tanks out there with .50 cal machine guns firing into the crowd.

The sheriff seems to hint more towards terrorism so it's definitely interesting.


Initially yes, but yesterday they doubled down that they still have no evidence that this was terrorism.

Drawing conclusions at this point based on what info has been released or not released is really skeptical.



I thought that was what we were here for?

This baw that got shot is certain there was more than one shooter

quote:

Palermo strongly believes there were between 3-5 active shooters during the attack because as he ran away from the initial gunfire, he describes bullets not only raining down, but flying horizontally at the crowd.

He said that there is evidence already obtained that indicates a very clear motive, and it's well known in the inside circles, and it will come out shortly. When pressed, he wouldn't say anything more, but he hinted that it was political.

Take that FWIW, and I know, it's Fox News and all, but he seemed certain an lot was going to be clarified, and soon.


I saw that guy too. He seemed like he had legit sources (like old buddies) involved in the investigation. He felt confident we would have a clear motive behind all this.

No audio exists where it sounds like more than one gun is firing.

This guy was not BS'ing, said evidence found leaves no doubt. I notice that when the Sheriff talks, he seems real nervous when questioned on the motive issue. I'm sure he's being told what he can and cannot release.

I have no idea what's going on, but this guy sure feels like some very important info and evidence is about to be revealed to the public that is going to answer a lot of questions. But maybe he's just being a blowhard.

His name is Tony Shaffer. And he's correct.

I knew the sheriff was keeping something from us! We gotta ban semi fully automatic rapid fire military death tanks now. Imagine if had gotten his hands on some silencers for the tank

Which leads me to believe it is linked, and someone told him to firmly walk those statements back as they continue to investigate.

I did see a video this morning that looked like a guy raising a weapon and firing into the crowd. I'm not really sure what to make of it. It's possible that it could be something else... but it did cause me to watch several times.
