I think there is at least one more person involved. Apparently, he was seen with a woman who was not the girlfriend - who they are now saying is a prostitute.

Saying he frequented Vegas prostitutes who they have talked to who say he was cheap & aloof.

According to @iceheart08 and @dbjork6317 , that makes you a tinfoil hat wearing, infowars loving, 9/11 truther. You can always count on those guys for some good civil discourse.

I too would like to know how he managed to acquire that armada, and some other logistical stuff, before I felt comfortable that he did this totally unaided. He may have, lets just get the details wrapped up.

I think even the police think there was at least one other person involved. I think the police are keeping things close to the vest and things will come out soon.

I'm interested in his autopsy & if he was under any meds. I do think it's coming out that he was not a nice person even before the shooting.

Yep. You're 100% correct. But, sadly, I know a few people who actually believe that ****. They don't think any of it ever happened. The whole thing was made up. Its just insanity.

You have large populations across the world that think the Holocaust didn't happen either. Never underestimate the ability of people to view "facts" through their own cultural lenses.

your suggestion at the bottom here, is very different than Amy's suggestion that there are "major holes" in the story.

Simplest answer is usually the correct answer.

FBI probably has a lot of info they aren't sharing. They'll figure it out and we'll all know soon enough.

I think you assumed she meant false flag type bs. I sure as hell hope she was just talking about details, and how logistically it could have gone down as opposed to this slaughter happened to create a narrative to restrict gun ownership. I'm going to assume she hasn't gone to that level of "conspiracy"-maybe I'm just being glass half full though.

Well a Fox News Analyst thinks he may have done it to kill the God fearing and America Loving folks that typically attend country music concerts. Is that what you are referring to?
Maybe I’m dense but what’s so asinine about that statement?

This. I don’t think iceheart is being fair to amy here. Holes can mean lots of things.

I have not followed this in the least, so I don't know what "they" are saying. Care to go into detail about what the story is and what doesn't make sense?

Reporting suggesting FBI involved in cover-up.
Bellagio Hotel guests have pics and sounds of that hotel in the shooting too. Someone cleaned up broken glass captured in guests' phone photos.
Guy who was claimed to do it was shoot by other parties.
This guy managed real estate and had no access to the millions of $'s he was sending to ISIS and Philippines
The few casings found in perp's room are no where close to the 1000's of rounds shot determined by military experts.
Someone solicited police assistance from San Francisco, really. Did you see who San Francisco sent, talk about diversity persuasion.
Hotel owners implicated
Antifa implicated
Democrats implicated
Hmmm...?
Paranoia...?

I'm out of the loop. Could you summarize please?

Well he got about 400 lbs of equipment up 30 floors and set up a concealed sniper nest. He disarmed fire alarms and and security systems in casino. He removed an 800 lb hurricane glass and for 10 min continuously ran a fully automatic weapon. All with no training and no motive? And he's an out of shape 64 year old man. Seems odd to me.

you can put the stuff on dolly's and wheel them into an elevator.
He had the money and time to put the whole thing together. The only thing thats odd is the ISIS connection to me.

Its really weird that a retiree would just go off the farm like that.

I never saw where he disarmed fire alarms and security systems.

They said he set up cameras to see if security came to door or hallway.

I thought that was how they found the room, from a smoke alarm going off.

There is no ISIS connection. ISIS claimed it immediately as they always do whenever any terrorist attacks anywhere and some far right websites immediately ran with it but that's it. It was just a whack job that went off the rails.

I’d expect more from you! You know they don’t share all the details of an investigation with everyone as it comes in. Especially in this case where there is a $ trail and the girlfriend is a person of interest

Actually, they don’t claim responsibility for everything. This one is fishy in how quick they claimed responsibility though and I don’t believe there are any connections. That being said, I assure you they’re investigating any and all potential ties and his travels

Could bring anything up to your room in bags and arouse no suspicion. Then put the do not disturb sign on your door and do whatever you want in the room. That part is not hard to fathom. Nor is buying that many guns and rounds and expecting people in the US to think twice.

We don't have 1/4 the information some of it probably isn't even correct and everybody is letting their imagination fill in the blanks. Conspiracies are ripe for these type of situations where you don't want to and can't fathom why.

I once did an electronic support convention in Vegas. I was working a booth for a software company and had all the booth equipment in my room the first night because the show floor wasn't open yet. I bet I wheeled 800 lbs worth of crap to my room and no one looked twice. It's Vegas. Between golf bags and stuff like what I had it doesn't stick out in the least.

Take a look at this.



At the beggining there are shots and then the echo. Sever seconds later you can hear shots but at a much further distance without echo. They appear to be coming from two different spots...

i think she is aluding to the complete out of the profile type person...

he's a bit old for a mass murderer, no strong political affiliation, no strong religious affiliation, not a victim of any apparent disenfranchisement... just seemed to be a boring old rich guy who wasted his later years away in front of a video poker machine.

what made him either go crazy or go extremist? why didn't it manifest earlier? what is the motivation?

Maybe he just REALLY hates country music.

One correction tho. Not technically full auto I don't think. Not that it matters to the dead people. I agree it's not believable. The window bothers me the most I think. How'd he do that. Did he remove the glass?

That's already been debunked as has most of this. Notice Amy's "holes" come verbatim from one of these-

He didn't. He shot through it. There are clear pictures from afterwards that show it.

He smashed the glass with a hammer. I'm not sure what the building code in Nevada requires perhaps someone in construction would know how thick the glass would be. I guess he could have also shot the glass out but there was a type of hammer in his room.
