The Las Vegas killer died with a note by his side — here’s what it read
The Blaze ^ | October 7, 2017 | Carlos Garcia

Police are revealing finally what was written on the note that was found with the Las Vegas murderer Stephen Paddock.

What was on the note?

Officers who tried to confront the killer in his hotel room were interviewed on “60 Minutes,” and said that it included hand-written calculations on where Paddock needed to aim in order to maximize the number of fatalities and injuries to the concertgoers below.

“I could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was gonna be for the crowd,” Officer Dave Newton from the Las Vegas Police Department’s K-9 unit said.

“So he had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there,” he concluded.

The more I read about this guy, the more I think someone was funding him and he reached the end of the deal. My guess is ME terrorists(ISIS) because they had the most to gain.

Ok, but I see now the bumpstocked device had holographic sites not requiring that. The other rifle with a scope would not be for full auto but sniper fire. So what did the shooter have in mind? Why so many options?

I a, foing there too because the prostitute sees him drinking, he has pics of him with a shot glass, but all of a sudden the hotel cannot figure why him and gf would not drink. Well, duh! Muslims! Gambling, if for weapon or war funding purposes are allowed in islam, otherwise it is all strict discipline.

No word on that aphilipino religion. I know Philipino women, they all sre involved in one way or another in religion.

Has anyone looked into if he was live streaming his actions with all of those cameras? See who was watching?

I still believe the man was a big time leftist and gun control advocate... I have seen nothing that proves otherwise....

We heard early on that she was Catholic, and attended a church while living in the US.

The note makes no sense. Assuming it’s true he had to know the rounds he used were traveling at app. 3200 f/s (2180 MPH). Using a bump stock to point and spray, such calculations are nonsensical.

” gun control advocate”

Except he had a large pile of guns. I haven’t seen evidence that he held any political opinions. He just seemed to be a obsessive gambler. Think “hoarding” but with gambling

The "range card" makes sense, if he has scoped rifles.

Oh, look. Next to his dead body, an AR-15 with a variable power scope with illuminated reticle.

The two rifles I see in the photo have what appear to be 16.5" barrels. That means 55gr projectiles will have a muzzle velocity of approx 3000fps, not 3200fps.

Look.. See all these murderous things I have..?? Lots of guns, bump stocks, telescopic sites, thousands of rounds of ammo..?? I can kill all these people and you can't stop me because I'm legally allowed to have all these horrible gun...

That's why he had such a display of firearms with him in the room... I'm totally convinced the guy was a gun control nut....

Your point makes sense.

Exactly, This makes no sense what so ever. Drop calculations are for single shot, single kill. NOT for using what equates to a fire hose!

Staged?

I heard the note said “I hate myself for voting for Hillary.”

But the media wants to keep it quiet.

You’ve seen nothing to prove otherwise... and nothing to prove it in the affirmative. What possible evidence is there that a guy who stockpiled as many guns as he did and then shot over 500 people is a gun control advocate? That makes zero sense.

Being able to switch to a scoped rifle would be useful for suppression of police return fire.

Not sure what to make of it yet but I bet the truth leaks out much like the photos of the crime scene. The FBI has lost all credibility with me. What happened to Sheriff Lombardo?

My guess is that the shooter didnt know think 1 about shooting a weapon other than pulling the trigger.

The FBI is still politicized buy the long lasting residue of Obama’s minions. Its going to take a long time, if ever, for the bureau to regain any semblance of the integrity and trust it has lost.
