    Most likely just a plate carrier with nothing in it, or maybe a foam backer to take up the space. Journalists are not accurate in anything they report. They are pretty much like lower class politicians. If it sells they write it; no need to fact check.

    Government failure.

    We pay taxes so we can have protection from attacks like this.
    We give up freedoms so we can have protection from attacks like this.
    We give up privacy so attacks like this can be prevented.

    Yet, here we are.

    Government failure.

    May have just been a tactical vest with a bunch of crap in it.

    Put on your tin foil hat -


    maybe the NSA wanted it to happen. Maybe they want terrorist attacks so they can justify more action against the freedom of US citizens. Maybe the gov wanted more attacks to happen so they can grow and enslave us all in the name of safety.


    Patriot Act is do for a reuptake. Scare the public into supporting it. I'm sure the powers to be hoped for more blood shed. Something a whole lot more frightening. Something they could really stick their teeth in. Play even more people for fools.


    The vest thing was added. Remember how they're trying to band it.


    Evidently lots of people had a bet on the out come.

    I'm gonna slide this in here. Maybe it'll change gears for some folks. Maybe not.

    Here's a micro English lesson. These definitions are separated on purpose.

    conspiracy - definition of conspiracy by The Free Dictionary

    Theory | Definition of theory by Merriam-Webster


    Tinfoil before it was created, was theorized to work. Now your casserole doesn't burn on top.


    Theory for a minute. Just one single minute. Throw pure logic at this.

    Was the attack planned, false flag? What supports this? What's the purpose?

    Or,

    The attack was actually ISIS, Ben Laden's cousin, a dentist assistant/jihad master mind. That if it's on Twitter it's gotta be true. What supports this? What's the purpose?


    Or,

    It was just two pissed off guys wanting to shoot up an art festival. That felt such event was so offensive, it was worth dying for?

    Who benefits from the aftermath?

    edited to add relative question to other good questions

    I'ma agree with the last option. It's the whole lone wolf theory crap. I believe they were losers in search of "the truth" and found ISIS to be the answer.

    I'm sure we'll have more like them. It's what ISIS is hoping for, too, bc they know to do any real damage here would require more than they are probably capable of at the moment. If they get some lone wolf scenarios that are moderately successful, that may change though. We must be vigilant.

    The more I think about it, the more I think these were 2 more "me too" idiots.

    We got this dog who is NOT alpha, prolly well past omega! But wants to play with the other dogs. My daughter labelled her as a 'me too'. This dog tries to insert herself into the play, but is ignored by the other dogs. She's sweet, but pitiful, too.

    That's these two. A pair of nothings who decide Islam will be their recognition.

    They drove all the way straight through from Phoenix to Garland, and did not stop to plan a single thing. I can imagine the chitchat - "We'll be martyrs and heroes. They'll sing songs to our glory. We'll be welcomed by allah."Not a thought to real tactics as they had, at best, a Google Earth view of the terrain.

    They drove directly up to a parking entrance (thanks Garmin) to encounter a cop with a massive, solid pair of brass ones. No planning, no recon, no advance planning except to acquire some firearms (gee this KelTec 2000 looks mean, lemme git this one - it'll kill a million infidels).

    So what? They got a couple'a guns and decided it'd be super simple to just drive up and waste a mess of infidels.

    Morons. Me-too morons at that.

    Most likely changed from "single Officer" to SWAT to protect the single officer. Most likely the FBI didn't have Simpson on an active case with surveillance (need lots of folks for that) or using a Pen Register Trap & Trace w/Cell Site and GPS (Phase II E-911). Electronic surveillance like that costs a good bit of coin every month with so many techniques lit up. He was a known sympathizer of ISIS to the FBI due to a former investigation. I'd like to find out more about the electronic communication that was possibly passed between the FBI and the Garland PD.
    There's not enough Special Agents at the FBI to keep tabs on every possible terrorist, La Cosa Nostra member, computer hacker, for-profit file trader, skimming accountant/businessman, dirty politician, motorcycle gang member, health care defrauding doctor, etc.
