Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

[jamil]

Look at the title again, Jamil.

The content? Certainly not academic. Not even correct.

And Prager "university". LOL It's a conservative media outlet. Nothing more.

I'm aware of Prager University. Of course it's a media outlet. Like some media outlets, the fact that they are a media outlet and that they are conservative, does not make what they've said true or false. I'd rate the content as some true, some false, but the overall sentiment, mostly true. Whether or not it's "academic" is uninteresting. I think we can all use our heads and our biases to figure out where we stand with it, regardless the source. Hell. Even Snopes is right on occasion.

There are a lot of institutions calling themselves "University" which I do not take seriously. Most of them actually do offer degrees.

Like Trump University, for example. not a real university.

Or UC Berkeley

Or UC Berkeley

Evergreen College too.

Let's just say, when you call yourself a "university", it implies academic standing and credentials. Oh. I forgot. Trump University. The swampy end of scholarship.

The only bias I have is I prefer truth to lies. This is a propaganda film and contains little of what is truthful.

It might be implied, but I likely won't infer it.

Be that as it may, I've thought along these same lines from the beginning. Only I thought that maybe there were more people behind this "protest" than just one scumbag. Call me crazy, call me a conspiracy nut but this is just too perfect of a storm. He did everything legal until the first body fell, anyone who is in the middle sees that and draws the conclusion that more and stricter laws are necessary. I may be a huge Matt Bracken fan, which could skew my train of thought, but I can't be the only one looking at this puzzle and seeing this.

The problem I see with that theory is that allegedly he had owned guns for at least 30 years (I believe that's what I've read). So if that was his motive, he certainly took his own sweet time about it.

It's definitely biased, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's propaganda. Is Huffington Post propaganda? I don't think so. I just think they present their biased view of things, like Prager.

That's one of the media lies I've heard from just about every network, including FOX. He owned a few guns and then he started to collect them rapidly fairly recently. I think that actually tells us when he started thinking about doing this.

I Huffington Post propaganda? MOST CERTAINLY!!!!

It used to be a bit more objective. Now they make no attempt to be so.

I think they believe the **** they print. So does Prager.

Most credentialed universities are nothing more than propaganda machines.

Police confirm Paddock used "special ammo" to try and detonate the fuel tanks, as well as his car.

And fuel for the conspiracy fires:

Mandalay Bay is questioning the accuracy of the police changing the timeline (security guard shot 6 min before attack).

And... Paddock's house was robbed. The house that should probably be under 24hr FBI surveillance? Robbed. Wonder what was taken.

Well, that's interesting...but will incendiary or tracers even ignite kerosene?

Ah yes....spoken like someone without a degree.

you might get it to burn but it won't explode....

 

[Alpo]

Is it something you wish to discuss?

Are you waiting for someone else to discuss it so you can read what is said?

Where are you going with this?

The house being robbed or burnt down or blown up doesn't give us a motive does it? The same thing happened in San Bernardino and it didnt' tell us any more about the shooters.

The GF on a watch list is government overreach. Arrest her or leave her alone.

Yeah, the timeline has changed, maybe. What impact do you see it have on the event?

Legislation is discussed on the bumpfire thread.
