Conspiracy buffs hit jackpot with Vegas shootings

The reports that Stephen Paddock, of Mesquite, Nevada, was a “lone wolf,” solely responsible for the Sunday night shootings in Las Vegas, is just a little too pat for conspiracy theorists. Something about it smells bad.

In the pre-Internet days, these people who wouldn’t know Occam’s Razor from a garden hoe lived in log cabins in the wilderness and communicated by mimeographed newsletter and ham radio. There might’ve been a few dozen of them. Now thousands of conspiracy theorists are swamping the Internet with their reckonings of what actually happened and who’s behind every horrendous mass killing, or even if anyone really got killed in the mass killings. False flags with “crisis actors,” the Illuminati, the Masons, not to mention the FBI, the CIA, the NRA, the NSA, the far left and the far right — all are suspects.

The dearth of information on Paddock and the hesitancy of law enforcement agencies to divulge details have added to the frenzy with everyone with an armchair and a laptop concocting their own scenario for the mass slaying’s causes and motives.

To no one’s surprise, InfoWar’s Alex Jones checked in in a hurry, claiming “Deep State” Democrats planned the shooting to ignite a civil war in the U.S., planning the event to coincide with the 100th year of Lenin’s Bolshevik Revolution.

(continued, deep state democratic...definitely alt.left...could be a sleeper cell? need to explore the accountancy profession and hold them all to account, see how far this rot has gone?) :tea:

I wish Galaxian would put half as much effort and energy into 'investigating' voter fraud, the influence of foreign money and big business on elections, the administrative competence of elected officials, or the facts about population growth and income distribution, as he does into railing against an assumed and wholly unfalsifiable adversary of humanity. Then he might actually be doing some good in the world.

Does it ever strike you Galaxian that you're wasting your talents and your time in what is, essentially, a massively self-indulgent exercise in advertising your own importance?

It's important to have a hobby, to fill the existential void but at least, if your hobby is fashioning little models of Stalin out of ear wax, you've got something to show for it at the end of the day.

You can spend all day/week/month/life on conspiracies and at the end you are just where you started, empty-handed, cross-eyed and probably smelling of your own piss

If you're getting friction and ridicule everywhere you go and from everyone you talk to, guess what the real problem is?

Any thoughts, Sherlock?

The thing about conspiracies - on the sort of scale Glaxo expounds is the sheer difficulty in keeping anything much secret. The list of people who would be required to either be in on the conspiracy or at the very least be told to shut up and spout the 'official' version is a long one - and given how 'serious' an issue it would be the chance of people breaking cover would not be high - it would be a certainty. The sorts of professions would include the police, army, senior planners, politicians of all sorts, journalists, doctors, first responders of all kinds, hotel staff (in this case),..well the list goes on. Not only would they all be required to stay shtum, there would be a huge number of them! The odds of anything on the scale Glaxo seems to believe in being kept secret are essentially nil.

Yep, pretty much this; essentially, the above is the Australian model, with the following details:

* You need a shooter's licence (with background checks), each gun must be registered, and stored in a lockable safe
* Very few people will be able to obtain a hand-gun license, unless you are a member of a pistol club (and the guns need to be stored on club premises) or a licensed security operative
* under special circumstances, a license for a semi-automatic can be issued. Mainly small calibre stuff, used by farmers for pest control
* serious hunters in Australia virtually always use precision bolt-action rifles with sights and a 5 to 10 round magazine - no hunter needs a semi-automatic rifle

And I say that as a former gun owner who enjoyed hunting and guns in general. They are legitimate tools, and no-one is realistically advocating an actual ban.
This. This very much resembles Norwegian law on guns. We have a very high density of guns per person here in northern Norway, but the regulations actually safeguard against lunatics getting hold of one. It just works. We usually don't murder each other, we just use them for hunting or pistol clubs
How's Mr. Brevik doing? It's been a while since he was jailed. I suspect you'll see him down at the coffee shop in a few years.

Indeed, Norway's example is interesting, given how many people have guns there. I'm 100% Norwegian by blood. I have lots of cousins, aunts and uncles in Norway. The advantage Norge has is a small population, relatively homogeneous, and with little political upheaval, and no war on drugs.

Lots of gun owners and hunters in Norway. Strict regulation. It is something for the US to look at. Can you link to an English version of the text of Norwegian gun laws?
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

I could switch from semi-auto to lever action. I want one of these:

Isn't that gorgeous? I'll take one in 30 06 and one in 45-70.

Ain't cheap, though. The all-weather version (shown) is between $800 - 1000 from online discounters.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I'm not into conspiracy theories......
The guy was odd, but wasn't terminally ill and won money gambling. Filipino gf not the Muslim isis variety.

Claimed he also shot at jet fuel containers. My understanding is jet fuel is closer to kerosene and flammable but not explosive.

Shooters brother guessed brain tumor, I'd like to see that ruled out.

And I believe he also wanted a 'record' and was well aware of the gày bar attack and wanted a higher count.
