you are making perfect sense!
I'm feeling that to be the truth, and whereas I know feeling is not fact and I do try to be ultra disciplined in that regard, its hard work, but I must.
There he was, all set up for the time of his life, gets a tad over excited or powders his nose more than usual and..BANG..
It really did look like that in the stills, bearing in mind it was Liveleak and theres about several million people peddling the craziest of fear *advertiser censored* and fantasies at the moment, and its highly likely they would have both the skills to set it up and the contacts to make them seem credible.
so, all of what I have written is pure speculation, above, but trying to balance this with so few hard facts and so many conspiracy theories that the truth seems to arise as pure instinct at this point.
I work terrorism and I spend most of my online life following, reading, learning, chasing, deciphering, translating and reading reading reading, learning.
When this broke it looked as if it was Isis flavor , possibly al quaeda..
And it still looked like that for quite a while....maybe it still does..
Their gameplan is changing according to their circumstances.. we wondered whether they would possibly adapt an entirely new modus operandi, possibly hire from outside...
They have not produced a single screed of evidence to that effect, however, not yet.
Just reading so many great posts here today is an absolute joy.. still reading.. great great points, zoning in on details..Its cathartic.. the getaway car, the type of door on a floor that would require a sG to attend..
The getaway car being the diversion to get him out fits perfectly..
Perhaps he was a mercenary, and his gambling a mere cover?
Just speculating -- but being this amazing gambler might be a cover for a whole multitude of things think of all the covers it could cover.
Safes in the garage, but it seems as if noone knew about his passion for guns and bombs?
Typically , it is just the opposite most who knew the perp -- afterwards were more than aware of the persons infatuation with guns
They talked about it all the time.
For some reason it sounds like he never made a peep about his passion for "collecting" guns.
People discuss hobbies -- how it works-- he was a braggart everything I have read indicates that handling machine guns requires a skill set
Noone has reported his bragging about how good he is at machine gun firing? Behavior wise that is not congruent with how this dude processed the world around him moo
In fact, if one thinks about it (we have not heard one gun dealer seeing him practice with guns of any kind.
There are folks here who (no judgement) describe there enjoyment with guns and collecting and stuff.
You don't keep interests a secret. Some of you know I love commercial aviation. It not a secret.
Many of us care deeply about our furry friends. We share that.
There has not been one iota of evidence that he was practicing shooting, sharing his enthusiasm for guns. None.
For a major gun enthusiast there has not been one mention of him attending gun shows.
Nor him sharing how much money he has in guns and how much they are worth. He brags about his wealth all the time.
If one has a passion collecting apples and you have many great apples would you not share that with other apple collectors?!
the only thing we all know about him and guns are:
He drove throughout 4 states to obtain them.
he has a huge safe that seems the size to accommodate machine guns.
What do small planes do? They transport things.
What is 48 feet away from the lobby -- a small airport catering to general aviation aircraft.
If someone wanted to move "things" about -- would it be easier to do it at a small airport or go through O Hare?
He likes to vacation with guns. Many guns. Not pistols . Machine guns. That are expensive. They are weapons of mass destruction. Even what little I know I think rabbit hunting with these things might be , pardon the pun overkill.
He is found dead with a bullet to his head in a room swimming with machine guns - that he has never spoken of.
That is like Jay Leno not talking about cars!!
or in his words (gambling is his job) he apparently likes to take lots of guns to the "office" with him.
Even to hotels . Do high end resorts have shooting ranges I am not aware of!
What person goes to gamble with machine guns?
How did dad make money. Illegally.
Have they cleared up someone in his room when his car was gone. Nope. That is the question from the female reporter he blew off. Staff would be able to get into a room right?
And it most certainly might fill up a lot of mysteries surrounding income stream.
but.............just a but...........................if your involvement in guns ................might result in a visit to the slammer..........................silence...........
Guys its all here in front of us.........................
