The 30 second read FBI final report has been discussed on this blog.

Lol, I remember that discussion.

Here's what dax is calling the 3-page FBI final report: https://vpc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Las-Vegas-FBI-final-behavioral-unit-report-2019.pdf

Here is some context, including that the "report" is a 3-page summary of key findings including that the gunman acted alone and without a clear motivating factor, mirroring what Metro PD had found: https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/fbi-analysis-offers-no-clear-cut-motive-behind-the-las-vegas-strip-mass-shooting
 
The article and the document itself spell out that this sub-unit of FBI's vegas division was tasked to try to supplement or confirm the police's findings particularly as to any motive.  The police report, 187 pages, is here: https://www.lvmpd.com/en-us/Documents/1-October-FIT-Criminal-Investigative-Report-FINAL_080318.pdf

That sub-unit convened a panel of various behavior/psych experts, which came back with 10 key findings outlined in the summary at issue. 

While disappointing to not land on a clear-cut motive, that's not unusual.

Quote
While some may be dismayed by the FBI's inability to answer why Paddock targeted those people on that particular day, Mynda Smith, whose sister was fatally shot, told NPR that she would rather he take his reasons to the grave than to have Paddock alive.

"I truly believe if he had lived, he would have made my parents' life miserable. We would've been caught up in trials and having to listen to things that he would say," Smith said.

The absence of a single motivating factor is not unusual, according to the FBI. And it places Paddock within the typical profile of other mass murder shooters who are prompted to violence by a "complex merging" of various stressors.

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/29/689821599/fbi-finds-no-motive-in-las-vegas-shooting-closes-investigation

Unlike the victim's sister quoted above, then-president trump criticized "the fbi" in an interview with the daily caller, as we were reminded in this story from saturday: https://www.newsweek.com/las-vegas-shooting-three-unanswered-questions-5-years-tragedy-1748137

Sounds like after the police-led initial investigation concluded there was no motive, the local FBI branch's sub-unit on behavior put in additional work to confirm that or to find the motive and brought in a panel of non-FBI eggheads to dig in.  That panel found there indeed was no single clear motive, which is common, but identified the factors that combined in some way to lead the guy to doing this.

But there's good reason lately for maga to talk bad about the fbi, and maybe some knew back then that some preemptive bad talk would help down the road.  Pointing to the original point break movie and claiming it was a documentary would've been a stronger campaign.

Everyone I know who keeps getting Covid chipped gets Covid again, and again, and again.

2 Euro trips and 2 Euro river cruises wrecked in my family for 5x plus chippers. 

Sounds like you're misguidedly against (anti?) getting the covid vax.  That sux. 

I wonder if there's anything else all those people you know could be doing to stop getting covid.
People should stop living a fun life and hang out in vax bars like I do . . . #trim

Nope, just minimize contact with maga, which naturally makes everything more fun. Vax requirements were a great way to know a place was maga-free, but you can still pretty much eyeball a crowd and figure it out.

3x Covid vax recipient and annual flu shot recipient

Dax, the same person who’s jabbing you with flu juice can install a covid chip at the same time while you’re sitting right there. Please consider.

The only thing that can at times slow him down? Covid.

Lol at a cutoff for anything being 5+ drinks in 24 hours.

It's not a very enforceable rule, anyway. Basically would just create a 1 year waiting period for anyone who gets a DUI (or gets arrested for throwing a sandwich at someone).

Your rule enforced would be a 1-year waiting period for most people who go to happy hour and dinner, or a pool/lake in summer, or a sporting event, etc.

I wouldn’t even want.a cutoff for having set the roosters okc vodka record a day earlier.

I wonder which of the 20 or so shell companies will pay the fine, if he's fined.

Joe is apparently hanging out in just down the road. 

Edit: Or will it be his bong bro lawyer pal

Stay tuned

As motivated as last time to vote for Biden and against Trump.  When Trump's president, he makes a super easy scapegoat for local dems (or worse) to get elected and/or do dumb crap locally.  Can't afford the superfreaks any room to get away with screaming that the mod-iest principles that matter most day-to-day are somehow maga, trump, etc.

I'm not even sure what he's being charged with.

Diversion.

22
I just looked at his route and saw the exactly 50 miles/day thing. I thought he could run to wherever at whatever pace he wanted and do and see good crap as he went.

23
Why doesn’t he run to the place he’d be staying at in each town?

It’s nut(s) that with how shitty biden is or is alleged to be, that republicans couldn’t get anyone adequately tolerable to whip his ass in this thing.
