    I'm starting to think he's a Russian posting from Vladivostok.

    Facebook and Google are serious problems...they had 4chan links at the top of their feeds.

    YF is lying about being a father and a coffee machine repairman?

    That's quite a long (and very strange) con.

    Possibly brilliant, though.

    How is this not considered terrorism?

    Definition: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

    We'll never know, unless he left a note.

    What is the political aim of ISIS? Seems more religious aim than political aim.

    The Mandalay Bay-festival area is probably, what, six times larger than Dealey Plaza? The shooter likely didn't have a specific target as in Dallas and could just blast away.

    Can't wait to read his gamer from Friday night's high school football game.

    Worst mass shooting in the United States. Until the next one.

    They want to take over the entire Middle East and establish an Islamic State.

    You are letting emotion get in the way of reason here.

    You have no idea if this guy had political aims. That ISIS's are intermingled with religious aims doesn't convert every mass shooting into an act of terrorism, as that term is commonly understood.
