#1 If this is true information, there was no reason to keep his motive out of the public domain. As we sit and speculate on the contents of manifesto of the latest child murderer, we ask the question why? Do they think we are too stupid to guess? Are they protecting the presumed innocent spree killer that was plugged on cop cam with the murder weapons in her hands? How will the info suppression really have worked out in the end in the case of Qanon Shaman when he eventually gets paid for his jail time.

#2 The only certainty about the motivation of the Las Vegas shooter is that the FBI waited SIX years to release this explanation. Obviously either they waited because the real truth was hugely embarrassing, it involved some very important rice bowl somehow, or because the truth would cause a huge, angry reaction from the public.

The real tragedy is that the most Americans now assume immediately that the FBI is hiding something or protecting some elite.

#4 Just bolsters my original contention that the shooter's motivation was that he was a murdering bastard.

#5 Still smells like bullshit

authorities did not determine a cause for Paddock's massacre, saying it 'causes more harm' to the victims

And there it is. The real reason would cause anger at the FBI because we fucked this up again and it was a terrorist.
