And the same predictable people are making the same predictable statements

I'm sad for the situation. People went there to have fun and a murderer opened fire. ISIS has claimed credit, but that doesn't seem to wash for me.

There's no way to prevent it. There's no way to predict these sorts of Lone Wolf incidents. People on the media are calling for an investigation of social media, but this guy may not have tweeted anything. It's worth a look, but 'monitoring social media' has limited value in this sort of situation.

Jan: At this point, we don't know what's going on and we are at the mercy of what the predicable people want us to know.

LL: I'm sad for the people this horrific act has touched. My prayers go out to all of them.

Now all investigation has to go towards the shooter's background. What would've driven him to carry out this heinous act. Whether social media will shed some light on this nutcase's life is just a case of what we'll see when we see it.

What i want to know is how did he get that much weaponry and ammo past security, or was there security? When i go to almost any venue here, they search pretty thoroughly. and some places now demand see through purses and bags only.

Anyway, it does not matter now, the usual people will spit out the usual stupid stuff, and life will go on.

Messymimi: I asked the same question. How in the world do you smuggle that many rifles into a hotel room? Also, the premeditation involved in the attack was mind boggling. He must have had a reason to do this, but I don't know that we'll ever know.

God help us all because America is Not going to do what is needed.
-disrecognize islam as a religion
-close the mosques and terminate protected tax free status to terrorist fronts like CAIR.
-tell the moslem vermin to Get Out.

The "moderate moslems" will breed out America, and the rest of the world for that matter. To my knowledge, only Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia have declared no moslems allowed.

Kid: Does this man have ties to islam? I don't know, but I see a connection to mail order brides from the Phillipines and that never ends well.
