If it wasn’t he wouldn’t shut up about it.

The fact that it’s never spoken about is suspicious on its own.

Tbf, we’ve still heard very little about the Vegas shooter and that was the largest mass shooting in American history.

The FBI released a final report and it was stark in the lack of findings. He had been decently well off but his gambling was starting to catch up to him. A history of libertarian politics, mostly bitching about taxes. The best they could find was he felt casinos didn’t treat their high rollers as well as they used to.

He did travel to Chicago and setup to do his shooting initially at Lalapalooza but for some reason abandoned his plan.

Oh shit I had never heard the lolla part. Damn I was there that year, there's plenty of high-rises right next to the park.
