    The same name is popping up on Twitter quite a bit, appears to be the husband of Marilou.

    Shooters name is all over twitter. Hes in a photo with Marilou Danley. This is definitely not islamic extremism.

    Did you just assume his religion?

    There is another name floating about too, Stephen C Paddock. But the name you mentioned hes a big anti Trump activist.

    Plenty of photos floating around of Marilou Danley. Looks a family lady around 60 years of age of Asian decent. Maybe from the Phillipines.
    Strange, wouldn't be the usual mass shooter profile I would picture.

    Really weird.

    The two suspects being named are Americans in their sixties; grandparents with loving families.

    The wife is of Filipino birth, but she's been in the US most of her adult life. She works/ed in Casinos in Vegas.

    They definitely don't fit any kind of profile of mass shooters.

    She even replied to a comment on Facebook saying "can't wait to see you in October".

    So odd. I wonder has something really traumatic happened and they've both just snapped.

    Would've thought that Islamic terrorists would be less likely to do this given that it occurred on U.S. soil. All of the mass shootings are homegrown, grade A American.

    Yea, that seems unbelievably weird. Given that it happened at the Casino, I wouldn't be surprised that the particular individuals had grudges against the venue. Total speculation, of course, but it just seems so odd if that is the actual attackers.

    Not at all. Pretty shocking to think all the same if in fact she is involved. I would hazard a guess the shooter is either anti Trump brigade or a war veteran.

    Sure. Tends to be patronised largely by southern steston-wearing ******-hatin' good ol' boys.

    Check out the scene in the movie 24 Hours when Nick Nolte brings Eddie Murphy to a C&W bar. "Bet this place is real popular with the brothers!" says Murphy sarcastically.

    24 hours??? Sounds like half the film it should be.

    I'm no expert, but that definitely sounds like a belt feed weapon, as somebody mentioned earlier. That audio is horrible.

    Looks like an ant-white/anti-confederate attack at the moment. Given who and what was hit.

    Lots of chatter about a woman appearing in the crowd telling people they were going to die.

    Most likely the wife of the shooter.

    Statistically with gun crime and mass shootings in America its far more likely they aren't, but continue jumping to conclusions to support your own bias agenda

    Witnesses have said that these people were removed from the concert because of the threats.

    You'd have to wonder that, if true, were the authorities called?

    Sure speculation but I'd say BLM or Islamic. It was a country and western festival.

    Haters love to hate.
    Sickening to see a poster pushing their right wing hate agenda is the face of such a horrendous event,

    Over 20 confirmed dead now

    Shooter has been identified as local man

    They've released two car reg's - likely his name should follow soon

    But that is most likely, right? The shooting is of an event which will be attended by people who are mostly white, and a particular type of white - the country music fan, often comfortable with confederate flags.

    If this is political at all, thats the most likely political reason.

    Being anti Trump does not make one a "leftist", hardly call Republicans like John McCain a "leftist".

    Did I say it did, Chief? Nope.

    Read the post again:

    I said HE appears to have been an anti-Trump leftist.

    When I heard it was a C&W concert that was my guess. Him and the guy who shot the Republican Congressman a few weeks ago are doing their 'cause' no favours at all. Up to these two incidents all the 'crazy' was on the Rightwing side, ie Abortion clinic shootings and bombings, black churchgoers being shot up, Gabby Giffords etc etc

    Except he didnt say that all people who are anti trump are leftist. He said this guy was an anti-trump leftist.

    I dont know if that is true or not, but the one statement isnt the same as the other.
