Stephen Paddock, Las Vegas shooter, called hotel security before rampage
CBS News ^ | Oct. 06, 2017

On the night before Stephen Paddock carried out the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, he twice called security at the Las Vegas hotel where he was staying to complain about loud music, a law enforcement source told CBS News.

The noise was coming from the floor below his suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel casino on the Las Vegas Strip, CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton reports.

Albert Garzon of San Diego told The New York Times that security guards asked him to turn down the country music playing in his suite on the 31st floor at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, a little over 20 hours before the rampage on a country music festival. When different security guards paid Garzon another visit about his music a half-hour later, he turned it off.

A staffer at the hotel also reported that Paddock acted abruptly with them over some other issue, Milton reports.

Sounds to me like an attempt to make him look like someone who snapped.

IE, a false news story.

If the MSM were on this, they’d be checking into his past as a possible arms dealer.

It’s justifiable then. Who hasn’t wanted to shoot a neighbor having a noisy party, especially one you weren’t invited to?

Ah, finally we have motive.

Who wouldn’t think of taking action against a noisy neighbor?

Of course, he would have fared slightly better if he could aim directly below him, but a little physics prevented that.

Apparently this isn’t because he was a Jihadist, or Antifa, or Anti-Trump, or Anti-Republican ...

Apparently he just didn’t like music.

Supposedly ALL hotel employees were told not to talk. Obviously some of them are ignoring the order.

Yep - now it will be “The country music made him do it...” I guess if a video could cause Benghazi problems, then surely country music is suspect for this massacre....

I think they know now that he was at least a leftist sympathizer.I’ve noticed several articles now on CNN etc that are advancing the line “what happened to his brain?”

They’ve embraced “mental illness” to excuse jihadists lately too.

Or at least check into what psychotropic drugs, if any, he was on.

If he didn’t like the music he should have knocked on the door and when the guy opened the door put a gun in his face and asked “Where’s the music coming from?” Then shot the source all to hell, turned to the guy and said “Let’s keep this between us ‘ cause I don’t wanta’ come back up here” and walked out.

Maybe the motive was the loud music from the concert.

Something came to me last night after hearing that the man gambled $100,000 a night at the machines and something like $10,000 per hour - What if someone raised the ante and all of this was a bet with someone who was really rich such as Soros or some group connected to islamic terrorism? Perhaps this lack of motive was because the only belief and obsession he had was gambling. He had an escape plan and people claim he had no political or religious beliefs. Perhaps this is one SICK bet and he lost when he failed to escape alive. So far, the only thing we know is the man loved to gamble.

So the motive is he hates country music?

He killed people he assumed were conservatives.

Speculate all you want about what he might have done.

He killed people he assumed were conservatives.

On Monday morning, ABC news couldn’t get enough of this story.

They said they were going to cover it all morning.

Then, suddenly, they went back to their regular programming.

Why? They said they were going to cover it all morning.

The story wasn’t going the way they wanted it to go, so they quit covering it.

1:30 Am is the night before. he was creating a distraction for the hotel for the following night. Knowing the hotel will have to check that room first for loud noises.

a) He scouted other venues consisting of diverse crowds

This is to make us THINK he just wanted kill random groups of people

b) He complained about loud music

This is to make us THINK he just suddenly snapped even though this was meticulously planned over a number of weeks or months.

BOTH of the above are the Deep State Media's COVER STORIES to COVER UP the killer(s) TRUE motive.

The FACTS ARE that he killed MOSTLY WHITE, MOSTLY FLAG-WAVING, PATRIOTIC TRUMP SUPPORTERS and that is EXACTLY what he set out to do. This is either ISIS-inspired or Antifa-inspired.

What exactly does an arms dealer actually do? And I read he couldn’t renew his pilot’s license so maybe he couldn’t keep dealing arms?

I actually think it does the opposite. If he were as mentally ill as the MSM is beginning to claim, he chooses the most rational response to loud music? I would think that if he were a “loose cannon” at minimum, he would have gone down to that room and banged on the door, instead this guy’s reaction is in line with what most “normal” people would do in the situation.

personally I think they should check his computer. The second shooter might still be on that computer. With conversations they had.
