4chan /pol is busy right now digging up details on the situation; however. 4chan is hard to navigate, and there are definitely infowar ops active on the threads (probably, need to do a post on forum trolls, although there is a good guide floating around the net on that from way back in the 90s).
The FBI is claiming that this has nothing to do with terrorism, but we have heard that song from them before. Right now, I don't have any theories.
What I propose is that we do is an OSINT session of our own
- Keep in mind the 24 hour rule - responses within 24 hours of highly charged situations tend to be emotionally based
- Let's verify facts before putting together theories, then compare those theories
- Let's ask specific questions
- I'll repeat this; let's get the facts, THEN build theory
- Archive anything that may be memory holed (http://archive.is/), and share here as a SOURCE
- Best to work down a single answer at a time, but to keep records or bookmarks of relevant issues
Some questions to answer:
- Where did Paddock get multiple automatic weapons?
- Who is Marilou Danley?
- Who is Geary Danley?
- Can the following be verified by about Paddock (source /pol):
-Owned 2 airplanes
-Had a pilot's license
-Hunting license in Alaska
-Brother named Eric, who said he was "just some guy" and couldn't imagine why he'd do it
-Fucking Marilou Danley
-He called his mother before he did it, didn't tell her he was going to do this.
-Lived in Florida and Nevada
-Lived in a retirement community on a golf course
-64 Years Old
-Had no known credible social media accounts - Can the story that a woman threatened concert goers before the concert be verified? source
- Was Paddock shot by police, or did he shoot himself?
Please label your comment as SOURCE, THEORY, or QUESTION before the rest;
Example: THEORY - this is a false flag designed to push gun control
OR
QUESTION - can this be verified? ISIS claims he converted to Islam months ago to carry out this mission http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/islamic-state-claims-las-vegas-mass-shooting-50231344
Feel free to post links to your own blogposts here as well, but label the main point of your post in the comment, please!
