Isis tripling down on shooter being converted six months ago.

They actually quadrupled down by the end of Monday, so this is the 5+ time they have repeated it.

Not that I trust Daesh, but I can't imagine them doing so repeatedly if there was no basis. They know there would be tons of egg on their face.

We should know more than we do now....which is nothing as far as a motive goes.

I don't remember a case with a dead suspect that we knew so little about motive four days in.

If you're using the term "terrorist" in the generic form, please refer to the actual definition:

Fixed that for you. I agree with your point, but if you exclude religious and ideological goals from your definition, every Muslim terrorist attack that's ever occurred no longer meets the definition of "terrorism." One could argue that Antifa and BLM wouldn't either.

While I agree with your reasoning, Muslim extremists conflate religion and politics. The fact they attack based on their religion in fact makes it their politics.

Antifa and BLM are purely political organizations, so they would fit the original definition.

Until we know this guy's motives, we can't really say whether he is a terrorist, or not. We can speculate and guess, but that is all.

Agreed and that is why I said "until that link is proven". My point was that it is misleading and incorrect to call any mass killing a terrorist event.

A number of bullet holes in aviation fuel tanks at 2000 feet from shooter. I forgot how close all this is to the airport.

Had a gun safe. Mentioned a gun room. I think we are up to 43 guns now.

Reno neighbors said he was strange.

Had allergy problems. Wore gloves, girlfriend didn't wear makeup or perfume. Casino cleaned carpets for him with plain water.

The AvGas thing is silly to me. This guy was intelligent by all accounts and a pilot. He had to know that shooting an aviation tank had virtually no chance to cause an explosion or a fire.

What does Chicago have to do with the killing of unarmed people at a Country Music Concert? How can you compare the two? We all know the reason behind all the killings in Chicago. Its drugs,and gang wars. Sad to say but people are already accustomed to that and frankly dont give a crap anymore.This "terrorist",yes he is a darn terrorist,shot and killed and injured innocent people who probably didn't do one darn thing to them. This is why politicians and the MSM are stired over this and not whats happening in Chicago.

He was not a terrorist, at least not that they have uncovered yet. ISIS has claimed him, but that link is yet to be proven.

The use of this word has become too common by the MSM in order to water down those that we are actually at a sustained war with. There is no known political aim to this attack. Terrorism, by definition, is used to exert influence and to scare a group into change. A psychopath killer with no known political ties does not meet this standard. Horrible, tragic, insane, vile - yes. Terrorism - no, at least not yet proven.

His brother said he was a multimillionaire former accountant, turned real estate investor. Like to gamble was a high roller at the casino. So the room could have been comped.

What if he was abducted by persons unknown, because he had the room they needed.

They set up the cameras so they knew exactly when to fake his suicide. Afterwards went into adjoining room and slipped out in first responders uniforms.

This took a lot of planning, a lot of time. This wasn't luck. Some of this guys friends would have noticed some change in him. Snapping to do this does not account for all the time and preparation.

Well I was wrong here. Filmed himself shooting everyone.

wow, that takes sick to a whole new level....

Where have you seen this reported?

Police stated in press conference 10/3 3:39PM.
