Active shooter....Las Vegas

[Sgt Beavis]

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.

The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.

The world is rudderless.”
― Alan Moore

This may be one of the most real and down to earth posts on this board. We, as a human race, are incapable of fully accepting the fact that evil/crazy is among us, every single day. We don't want to open our eyes to the fact that these things happen, there are people who, deep in their core, want to do nothing more than hurt/maim/kill other members of the human race. To accept it would shake the majority of the population to the core. To accept the fact that there isn't some "power" controlling and orchestrating these events would ruin their perfect little worlds.

Without providing proof you're kinda not.

lulz, you're reaching. The proof has been supplied. I can't spoon feed it to you. I liked you better with your WMNA sign.

Just to throw some more fuel into the fire here. Remember the casino attack in Manila a few months ago?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/02/world/asia/shooting-resorts-world-manila.html?action=click&contentCollection=Asia%20Pacific&module=RelatedCoverage&region=EndOfArticle&pgtype=article

Paddock wired $100k to the Phillipines, where his girlfriend happened to be staying just before the attack. Also note the name of the author. They may not be related but he's a never Trumper that writes for the NY Times and is currently living in the Phillipines.

A former coworker of mine shares the same last name, and is currently in jail in the Philippines for kiddy diddling. Shooters family is in Melbourne Florida, where my company HQ is (that he was employed by). He used to live in Vegas before moving to Oregon when I did in 2012ish.

I've found nothijng concrete to connect them, yet, but I'm 90% sure there's a correlation there.

This whole thing stinks. I'm kind of surprised the girlfriend showed up back in the US so fast, I just hope she doesn't get suicided before someone gets to interrogate her. She has a very suspicious past. A jet setting Filipino casino host with multiple identities and has worked internationally.

Nothing about the missing neck tattoo on the dead dude? Interesting.

Those aren't slippers, those are just slip on shoes ..

I'm sure shell casing were kicked around as SWAT rushed in they didn't say cheese 1st then take a pic , they secured the area then took pics

I don't have any idea what would drive him to do this but, I think he was the lone gun man.

Crazy walks among us all, every day ..

Most of the casings likely went out the window. He was firing down and to his left which put the casings out and away from the building. The limited casings you see near him are in the entry way of a multi room suite away from the windows he fired out of. Go to the local news station sites and they have 3D floor plans of the room and give you a better feel for the space.

If you shoot yourself in the head with a pistol, you basically bleed out of your mouth and nose. The high velocity spatter would be confined to where he fired the gun, not where he fell to the ground. That looks like a .38, more than likely it didn't even exit. those cases were sitting on carpet that eventually had blood soak under them. That isn't a clue. It could be a note, it also could be an invoice for his hotel or something unrelated.

I find the gloves more curious, but I also haven't handled an ar after firing hundreds of rounds in a short time. I imagine it'd be warm though.

Pic I saw those weren't gloves they were bags for forensic processing

Yep. First time I saw it on some faces of death video I was right along with the other reporters saying "HOLY SHIT!"
"That's why I say, 'Hey man, nice shot.'"

Interview with the brother..

[BLAKE]

I'm about halfway through this interview. Part of me feels sorry for this guy and part of me wants to tell him to STFU. He needs to spend less time talking about how fun it is to hang out with a rich guy and focus on the issue at hand.

[JC316]

Interview with the brother..

Yikes. 30 minutes of a guy rambling about how his brother was wealthy and how the casinos loved him. The only odd thing is that he seems very flustered about the news digging into his family history.

That could have been condensed into "My brother was a quiet guy that looked after his own people, he enjoyed the vegas lifestyle, and I have no idea why he would do this. Thank you for your time."
