Are you saying you believe this was a government operation?
Not sure. But I don't think it is what it is being portrayed as.
I dont think anyone believes a wealthy, retired, seemingly stable guy with a girlfriend just suddenly snapped for no reason and killed a bunch of people he didnt know.
"Just snapped" would be walking into the casino with a pistol and start shooting.  This guy spent possibly weeks planning this and certainly days setting up.  That's calculated mass murder.

That is, assuming that he acted alone, as is the current story we're being fed.

Unfortunately, we'll probably never know the truth. 
Months.  It began when he started amassing "assault rifles" and accessories last October.
Like when it became clear that Trump had a chance of actually winning, last October?

I would love to know exactly what was bought and when. I feel like the "he started amassing weapons in October" may be a ruse by the sheriff. I mean, if he bought one gun in October, and then a dozen in the month after Trump won the election saying that he "started" in October would be a cute little way to try to disguise potential motive... And this sheriff seems to like hiding motives that make him uncomfortable politically.....

A good read about how terrible the MGM security Is.

*Paddock studied Mandalay Bay. He knew the shift change times. There is a shift change at 9:59 PM. That’s why the shooting took place around 10 PM. It’s a time of mass confusion.

*Many critics have asked after Campos was shot, why were police not called quickly. My sources say calls to police are ALWAYS a last resort at any MGM property. They never want police involved. They want no public record of incidents at MGM properties.

*Secondly, they report MGM security has cheap, faulty equipment. Their radios are the worst problem. They often don’t work, or suffer “dead zones” all over the hotels. Campos may have been unable to reach his supervisors for crucial minutes. He may have been forced to use his personal cell phone.

Heard on the local news this morning MGM wants Campos to only give one interview with softball questions due to lawsuits.  Ellens show is affiliated with MGM somehow.  I forget if its the producer or somebody was the Vice president or some shit for MGM years ago.

Not a conspiracy theorist at all.
And I do not believe there is a cover up...yet.
Waiting for proof- I know, silly me.

This is the same type of stuff I have seen with the JFK assassination. Waco. Oklahoma. Breitbart. Scalia.  
The conspiracy types will declare that I am a gullible fool for listening to the authorities and media.
Of course they have to assume/claim I am listening to them in order to dismiss my disagreements with said conspiracy nuts.
Really, all I know at this time is that there is not enough evidence beyond the basics to guess at anything.
It won't stop certain people from thinking they have some special insight and that they are superior to us sheeple, but that is why they think like they do. Ego. Vanity.
Steven Paddock bought a lot of guns and murdered a number of people by himself while at the Mandalay Bay. That is pretty much all we know.
Those claiming to know otherwise are full of sh*t.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist either. The fact remains that we do know a little bit more than that, but what we don't know is what we don't know.

Without law enforcement confirming or denying our suppositions, coupled with their changing narrative...we can only formulate our best guess through inference and supposition. 

There are numerous sources for spurious and semi-spurious information which each of us apparently feels the need to sort through and vet or dismiss. 

Personally, I have my theory for the shooter's actions. So far it's substantiation is the unwillingness of law enforcement to deny these assertions I used to formulate my thesis -either directly or indirectly. 

This was the worst mass shooting in modern American history...and we don't even rate knowing how many victims had gunshot wounds or how many pieces of brass were recovered. Neither of those numbers could even remotely impede the 'investigation' or divulge anything of value to any ongoing investigation. It's bullshit obfuscation. 

The government conveniently forgets that they work for us. We should be furnished any and all information which could not possibly impede or jeopardize any investigation. 

Sans a 'motive' directly attributable to the shooter...every law abiding gun owner in this nation is cast in a disparaging light. I personally find that reprehensible and have to question the motivation of any gun owner that doesn't feel the same.

The motive in serial killings and mass killing is almost always a footnote. "I don't like Mondays"... Helter Skelter... it's hard to think of any that have a motive that actually explains anything.

Plus the people that want to ban guns beat their drums like they would regardless of what the motive would be. If SP was positioned by the CIA to take out a North Korean agent with a trigger for a nuclear weapon that was smuggled into the country and put under the stage, and SP ended up spraying the concert because he couldn't identify the target, they would still want to ban the guns. If you think there is a motive that would get them to say "thank God those guns are legal" I'm all ears.

The narrative from the cops now is that this guy acted alone. If that's the case, how could releasing any information impede the investigation? There's no accomplices...no links to terrorist organisations. Who would evade capture by releasing everything they have so far? No one... According to the cops sooooo what's the hold up? Did the sheriff not commit to a transparent investigation?

This is the same type of stuff I have seen with the JFK assassination. Waco. Oklahoma. Breitbart. Scalia.  
The conspiracy types will declare that I am a gullible fool for listening to the authorities and media.
Of course they have to assume/claim I am listening to them in order to dismiss my disagreements with said conspiracy nuts.
Really, all I know at this time is that there is not enough evidence beyond the basics to guess at anything.
It won't stop certain people from thinking they have some special insight and that they are superior to us sheeple, but that is why they think like they do. Ego. Vanity.
Steven Paddock bought a lot of guns and murdered a number of people by himself while at the Mandalay Bay. That is pretty much all we know.
Those claiming to know otherwise are full of sh*t.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist either. The fact remains that we do know a little bit more than that, but what we don't know is what we don't know.

Without law enforcement confirming or denying our suppositions, coupled with their changing narrative...we can only formulate our best guess through inference and supposition. 

There are numerous sources for spurious and semi-spurious information which each of us apparently feels the need to sort through and vet or dismiss. 

Personally, I have my theory for the shooter's actions. So far it's substantiation is the unwillingness of law enforcement to deny these assertions I used to formulate my thesis -either directly or indirectly. 

This was the worst mass shooting in modern American history...and we don't even rate knowing how many victims had gunshot wounds or how many pieces of brass were recovered. Neither of those numbers could even remotely impede the 'investigation' or divulge anything of value to any ongoing investigation. It's bullshit obfuscation. 

The government conveniently forgets that they work for us. We should be furnished any and all information which could not possibly impede or jeopardize any investigation. 

Sans a 'motive' directly attributable to the shooter...every law abiding gun owner in this nation is cast in a disparaging light. I personally find that reprehensible and have to question the motivation of any gun owner that doesn't feel the same. 
On the one hand their silence bothers me. On the other I HOPE it is a sign they are simply trying to get it right before saying anything, but I am no less uncomfortable for it.
One reason why I have yet to be convinced there is a conspiracy is that if there was, it would be all over the news. The feds have shown themselves to be incapable of hiding a needle in a haystack the last decade or two.
Black sites. Interrogation methods. Wire taps. Benghazi. Uranium. Comey. They can't hide stuff even if their lives depend on it.
Sure this could be the one time they get it right, but the odds are heavily against it.
I have never understood this thinking that because the government occasionally gets caught with their conspiracies that they must not have any that don't get discovered. It is like a bleeding heart judge who sees the same defendant in her court every 6 months for new crimes thinking that those crimes must be the only crimes that criminal commits. Not realizing that the criminal breaks many laws a day but there are only so many times that even the most brazen criminal will get caught.

seems like the story has died in the media,  follow the money,  scanners will be in the hotels,  they have already installed them in some,  they took them out of the airports so they are sitting somewhere making no one money,  what a perfect excuse to install them in hotels,  bus stations, movie theaters ..........

I've said it before...No one makes a grand display like the killer did without wanting to be heard about something.

There is a motive somewhere.  It may be a completely irrational and ludicrous one, but there is a motive.

He wanted to be heard...

My 2 cents.

The motive in serial killings and mass killing is almost always a footnote. "I don't like Mondays"... Helter Skelter... it's hard to think of any that have a motive that actually explains anything.

Plus the people that want to ban guns beat their drums like they would regardless of what the motive would be. If SP was positioned by the CIA to take out a North Korean agent with a trigger for a nuclear weapon that was smuggled into the country and put under the stage, and SP ended up spraying the concert because he couldn't identify the target, they would still want to ban the guns. If you think there is a motive that would get them to say "thank God those guns are legal" I'm all ears.

What? Serial killer's motives are usually pretty obvious. They're psychopaths who get off on killing (usually literally,) or they enjoy something else and have to kill to prevent being caught.

Mass shooters almost always have a very specific, defined motive as well. In fact, nearly all mass shooters choose their location, target and method for very logically defined reasons (even if the reasons are petty or inaccurate.)

Not to mention, serial killings and mass killings are nearly inconflatable. Serial Killers generally take action to avoid being noticed. Obviously some enjoy the attention, but given the fact so many of them are active those attention seekers are a vast minority.

Mass killers want everyone to know what they did, and why they did it. It's generally for a cause, or as a "fuck you" to whatever group they felt slighted by.

I was merely interested in showing the absurdity of yet another conspiracy theory. People are theorizing he was using a hammer drill to anchor a rappel for God's sake.

Yeah, that's pretty stupid.  It'd take too long.  Plus, you can hear the sound of the powder actuated nailer in a couple of the clips.

And I never understood the thinking that because the government occasionally gets caught with their conspiracies that everything must be a conspiracy even when there is no evidence of such (or when the “evidence” is ridiculously thin). I want to consider the possibility that things might not be as the government tells us but lots of people are to quick to jump to conclusions unsupported by the data.

One thing is for sure, he didn't make 5M a year playing video poker. The odds are impossible.

So I suspect he was money laundering.

But where did this money come from is the question that might shed some light on all this.

How many times does someone lie to you before you stop believing anything they say? That's not to say that a liar doesn't tell the truth ever, but giving the government the benefit of the doubt in any particular thing they state is a Fool's errand in my opinion.
