The Sheriff saying last night that this could not be done without help...I disagree.

Do you not think it was his knowledge of the situation that led him to say that? To get you to question the narrative?

This guy supposedly scouted many locations.....for who? What else is coming?

His income alone should have the lone wolf bs questioned to high heaven. This has a massive stink about it and we are going to be fed bs.

Stephen Paddock, 64, previously known as the “lone wolf” killer who shot over 59 victims to death and injured over 500 in Las Vegas, is now suspected to have been part of a deadly team. As RadarOnline.com has learned, the troubled gunman had an escape plan and explosives in his car, as he expected to flee the scene following his brutal attack.

“Maybe he’s a super guy,” stated Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo before correcting himself. “You know, a super yay-hoo that was working out all this on his own. But it would be hard for me to believe that.”

He stated this Wednesday during a conference that Paddock had 1,600 rounds of ammunition and various containers – totaling 50 pounds – of an explosive commonly used in target shooting, inside his parked car outside the hotel.

Paddock also had 23 rifles and piles of magazines in the room, plus additional firearms inside his homes, and various electronic devices.

“Stephen Paddock is a man who spent decades acquiring weapons and ammo and lived a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood,” said Lombardo.

“Look at the weapon obtaining, the amounts of Tannerite available – do you think this was accomplished all on his own, face value?”

Officials also found that Paddock bought 33 rifles in 2016. While his reasons are unknown, investigators are hoping to prove signs of mental illness and/or trauma.

Continued Lombardo: “Put two and two together: another residence in Reno with several firearms, okay, electronics, and everything else associated with it, large amounts of ammo, a place in Mesquite. We know that he had a girlfriend. Do you think this is all self-facing, individuals are just, without talking to somebody, sequestered amongst themselves? Come on, folks.”

Adding to the theory of the shooter’s escape plan, police found a hidden camera on a service cart outside of Paddock’s hotel room. They now believe he was planning on making a run before cops found him. Unfortunately for the killer, a hotel guard, Jesus Campos, led police to his room as soon as he discovered his location. Paddock shot at him through the door, injuring but not killing the unarmed hero.

While Paddock’s girlfriend Marilou Danley, 62, claimed to FBI that she knew nothing about his deadly plans, investigators still believe it is highly unlikely the now-deceased shooter was alone.

I don’t have the inside knowledge the Sheriff has to say there was no one else involved. I am not even questioning that the ‘might’ be others.

What I was commenting on was the way the comment was made. It implied that Paddock physically or otherwise could not have done it alone. I say BS to that, given I have no other evidence to go on. Maybe the Sheriff does. But given what we have been told so far as fact, if I were so inclined, I know I could have single handedly pulled this off. I am not quite Paddocks age, but getting large numbers of guns up to the room would be easy with a bellmans cart. His shooting did not require precision shooting skills as his target area was relatively large even at 500 yards. Just point and spray. With the crowd density he couldn’t miss. I would never contemplate such a thing myself so even postulating that I could makes me uncomfortable, but physically, there is nothing stopping a single person from doing this.

I have mixed views on the reliability of reports from various agencies. I do believe that at the highest levels, the FBI has no credibility presently, but at the local levels, there are still good, competent agents trying to do the job. As to the Sheriff, I have no idea as to whether he is more trustworthy than the FBI for reporting. I will give him the benefit of the doubt so far that he is doing his job, but it is Clark County (think Harry Reid), so whats to say that he is not getting political pressure from outside?
