    Well he qualifies what he says. He didn't actually say that's what was happening, just that it has all the earmarks of that being what's happening. Said OJ was released from prison the day before so that the media would already be in LV setup and staged for the attack.

    where is this standard when blacks are gunned down or it turns out to be a minority/muslim? Cut the crap. I already heard someone on the wards mouth off about some fake theory and led others to believe it.

    I don't know, but I will keep my mouth shut.

    Can you state for me what exactly is the conspiracy theory and what is the evidence for it?

    It was known and discussed in this very thread I believe that he had two planes and pilot's license. I'm not sure what from that link the public wasn't told and how it is relevant here.

    That being said, I would hope that in an ongoing investigation there would be information not released to the public.

    Not directly related to your quote, I think it's important to wait for all the facts to come in before making any definitive decision about what happened, and the media should refrain from spreading every new rumor that comes out. In these tragic instances, there is often a rush by the public and the media to create and attach a narrative to the event. That narrative may be wholly accurate, partially accurate or not accurate at all. Often myths are created around the event that will persist long after the investigation has concluded.

    For example, the myth that hijackers used box cutters to hijack planes on 9/11. That is not known at all, and even doubtful. Yet that detail got out and was spread. Now many people believe that box cutters were used to help bring down the twin towers.

    Nor am I following you. Why are we discussing conspiracy theories in this thread?

    Apparently it is a component of the politically correct narrative that you are trying to push. You brought it up, so you will have to be the one to explain why you did that.

    Huh? I'm lost. Here is the post I initially responded to (not that it was addressed to me):

    I wasn't involved in whatever discussions preceded it. It sounded like you were defending some conspiracy theory related to the shooting, but I guess I was mistaken.

    The conspiracy theories are working like crazy. Its all I’ve heard about today from my right wing friends, and coworkers. WTF is going on? How are people losing their minds like this?

    The right wing media machine is really winning fast and furious in their agenda to brain wash half of America that ANY TIME something goes wrong.... it’s the “liberals” and George Soros. Everything that’s wrong in your life.. blame the evil underworld of the Liberal secret society.

    Seriously people your minds have been F-ed.

    They have a need to believe in the existence of the boogeymen they've created. It's self-fulfilling.

    Yes, I heard it today. Something about since money to the Philippines it was "A MUZLUM". These guys never quit. "Wait for the facts!" "He probably didn't follow the officer's commands!" ---to sitting there acting like children. Deplorables.

    It just doesn't make sense why he didn't leave any notes.
    He had planned for this for one year. One whole year with his thoughts and actions, obsessed with this idea and all the details of his plan.

    He thought to send his gf away and even send her money. That means he had considered the aftermath of his actions and the future after his death and had enough "empathy" left to care financially for her. So not a complete narcissist.

    And yet he didn't feel the psychological need to leave a manifesto to explain why?
    What so called "message" he wanted to deliver?
    Even if it was just a simple a **** you to the world and not delusional megalomaniac rumblings, he would have written something.

    I thought that after they searched his houses they would find something.

    But it's still possible that he has mailed a note to the press that hasn't arrived yet?
