Why were there blocked exit at concert?

Motive?
How did he get tannerite ?

Why was security so soft?
Why no security video?

What did his girlfriend know?
Was it linked to gambling debts?

Did he inherit mental problems from his father?

You get the point.

You can buy tannerite anywhere.

Rest of your questions... don't know.

I just got done watching 'closed circuit', so do you ever think you would hear something like this?


Stephen Pollack was an asset of the FBI/CIA and was involved in a covert sting operation with potential terrorists that went horribly wrong.

You are on to something dave when the FBI is involved there is also often a cover-up.

I think I mentioned this on day 3 or something like that...this "theory" has been around since the beginning.

He doesn't look like much of an "asset" to me...who knows.

Nothing of the quality of Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer, who got paid by the word to write the Trump dossier.

Just heard his girlfriend admitted police may find her fingerprints on bullets but that does not make an accomplice.
At this point it's nice to have any news

I read where she said she

“Handled his ammo”

I have a good friend that was at this concert with numerous friends. She and the friends all hunt a lot. They were all able to seek refuge a secure distance away from the venue but still able to see this hotel the whole time. She assures me there was only one shooter. I have no reason to doubt her.

I can believe there was only one shooter. Since there were two window openings and he switched guns it may have seemed to some that there was more than one shooter.

But he may have had organizational help. He might of done this as part of a bigger "thing". A 64 yo all of a sudden goes off on a bunch of Country Music fans, likely Trump voters? I'm still real suspicious. From bio info he may have been a drug runner, arms runner and/or child trafficker. Who knows what he was involved in?

There more than likely is more to this guy. But he did the act all by himself. The killing part anyway.

[classhandicapper]

There are several things that hint that this guy was involved in "arms dealing" of some sort.

It's theoretically possible to gain an edge playing video poker games, but what are the chances this guy was one of the few people on earth that made a significant living off it?

More likely is that if you are engaged in illegal activity you use "gambling winnings" as a way to cover for it.

Why was he buying large volumes of guns and ammunition to begin with?

Granted, lots of people like guns, do buy a lot of them, and he may have been mentally unstable. However, if he was just planning an attack, wouldn't 3-5 guns be more than enough to get the job done, minimize the risk of getting caught bringing them in, and minimize the risk of getting caught when you tried to escape?

This is a guy that took a LOT of steps to cover his tracks and ensure he would not get caught but he was going to leave a bunch of guns in the room when he escaped or carry them all out right after the attack?

That does not make sense. That would maximize the chances he'd get caught.

I don't know if he was working with anyone, but it's at least possible he may have been making money dealing arms too and brought a bunch of them to the hotel room to show them to a prospective buyer. Then something else happened.

She knew he was buying large quantities of guns and ammo and helped him load magazines and stuff like that. That would explain the fingerprints.

However, if your boyfriend is suddenly buying huge amounts of ammo, the typical woman would do one of two things.

1. Ask him why he's buying all these guns and ammo.

2. Leave and find yourself a new boyfriend.

He had to have given her a reason that she thought was satisfactory because she claims she had no idea he was going to engage in a terror attack.

How about "sell them for a profit"?
