Quoted:
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. Must keep thread alive View Quote |

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..... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Like when it became clear that Trump had a chance of actually winning, last October? View Quote That is when the FBI contacted him to make sure there was a big event (narrowly stopped) that was far enough away from the mid terms to allow democrats and wobbly republicans to vote on a gun ban that madam president would willingly sign. |

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.

Interesting that Rachel Sheppard's attorney appears from donations and google to be a lefty, but also a good attorney. Should be interesting if anything ever comes out

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. |

View Quote 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. |

View Quote 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 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. View Quote 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 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. View Quote |

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).
