The Great Kazoo's Feedback
"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
OSINT in 2022 is cheap and easy and doesn't require any kind of warrants. In fact it's some peoples morbid hobby, others a profession, even a business model for companies. Kids post everything from their breakfast to their psychotic aspirations online. Their digital op-sec sucks, because they generally want attention. Post shit online and it will be found.
There is tons of information on the LV shooter (reports, articles, documentaries, podcasts, interviews, legal docs). If you are morbid enough to want to find it. Nobody is hiding this. If you are looking, you can find it.
These people are psychos. Trying to figure out what their motivation is dumb, especially when the are kids. Everything is not a politics thing. Even if a mass shooter wrote a manifesto proclaiming it was "all political", it's not. Because they are fucking crazy murderers. First and foremost.
I grew up with a punk-rock kid that became a skinhead. He didn't grow up a racist white supremacist. We was a follower, a wanna-be and wanted friends. He put on a flight jacket, docs and started hanging out with shit people. He ended up murdered. Did he end up dying a white supremacist skinhead? Sure did.
OK so for those of you saying "the timing is suspicious" or "doesn't make sense" or whatever, you all seem to be hinting at something you won't come right out and say so let me ask you point blank: What DO you think happened?
Do you think that this was a "false flag" operation organized by anti gun leftists, communists, democrats, etc? For what purpose?
Do you think it didn't actually happen and that all the people are "crisis actors" a la Alex Jones?
Do you think it was a secret government operation? Designed to do what? And again, for what purpose?
Seriously, why is it so hard to believe that an angry asshole with a chip on his shoulder and a gun killed a bunch of people? We've seen this exact template over and over again for the past 50 years or so.

If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.
None of the above.
The feds have a long history of egging crazy people on through the use of informants, etc. They do this to create wins for themselves. Sometimes they do it to create a problem to prove to the world the problem does in fact exist. Sometimes they egg them on far enough that they can then arrest them...IF their communication is good enough to make that stop before they follow-thru.
I wonder how many times the feds egg someone on who then slips by and does what the feds egged them on to do. The feds are NEVER going to say "oops! We egged this guy on, he went dark and committed murder before we could stop him". It's much more likely that if that happens the feds will say "man, we had no idea this guy was out there. We're as surprised as you!"

I can't buy into the conspiracy bullshit.
Too many people can't keep secrets. We see it everyday with leaks and unnamed sources. If there was a mysterious cabal in the government doing these things, there isn't one one person that would let it slip or feel guilt and leak it?
This is exactly what it looks like. A mixed up kid with mental issues that immersed himself in dark images and decided to act on his "beliefs".

Now if he would have used an AR with a brace (in light of the new ATF brace ruling coming out in the next few months), I would be more concerned of a conspiracy.
