There could be a BIG difference in the sound of the gunfire if some of the shots were made with the gun barrel sticking-out past the window. Firing farther back inside the room and several feet back from the broken windows would be more muffled.

Cabbie also states it is about the 10th floor not the 4th. Agree,two different things.

Wow, thanks for that video. That would have been some diversion. Still dumbfounded how he planned to escape the hotel.

No, no he saw a street named Jackson and had a snowflake break down trying to figure out if it was named for the president, the general or the king of pop!

At the 8 second mark, look at the man in the crowd firing on the people. I read he was wearing a security guard uniform.

I see no such thing at the 8-second mark in that video, or anywhere else...

I think that was a strobe light. It was still flashing the next day behind a Fox News reporter.

If there was shooting on the sixth or seventh floor, then the Windows there would be broken also, correct?

Unless those windows opened. Can anyone say that the Windows on the lower floors could be opened and closed?

LS, I track your posts. But on this one, I think you are wrong.

Regarding "2 sets of gunfire sounds", an ex-soldier said on FR earlier that you have the sound coming from the source of the firing—the report of the rifle—and you also have sounds as the supersonic bullets arrive and impact with various materials, causing "cracks" which are heard "instantly" (because the sound doesn't have to travel anywhere, essentially).

That alone can lead to "2 sets of gunfire sounds", so such observations aren't as cut-and-dried as one might think.

I'm no ex-soldier, but it does make perfect sense that you'd have 1) the report from the gun at a significant distance which takes some time to reach the target—certainly slower than the bullets—and 2) the "local" sounds the bullets make as they impact concrete and other dense materials in the target area. Viola! 2 sets of gunfire sounds.

Just my 2 cents' worth...

I think the CIA has lasers that can do that.

Next the leftidiots will call for a ban on the components of tannerite. Thing is, someone with even a basic knowledge of chemistry and/or physics can make explosives and other very nasty things from all kinds of useful and frankly necessary stuff you can buy at just about any hardware store. You can even make some nasty things from certain food products. (No, I’m not going to share any recipes and hope no one else does either.)

What if someone put that ammonium nitrate in the jet fuel tank and attached the tannerite so that could be set off from a distance?

Lower floors have windows that can slide open 6 inches or so.

OK, so where do the "lower floors" become the "upper floors"? 2nd? 6th?

Regarding simultaneous gun fire, two other possibles for a lone shooter: 1. Echo from one of the tall buildings and 2. He could have been shooting a rifle from each hand.

It was a strobe light.

The same strobe light was flashing the next day, behind a reporter for Fox News.

Yes, agree. But the rounds fired (cab driver audio) are close, and low SOUNDING. As if you’re within 50 feet or so. Then you hear another round, still loud, but from a greater distance, less clarity. More bang, less ratatat.

I’m not qualified in disseminating sound origins, but I’d be amazed to learn the ratatat came from 32 floors up. But, I’m keeping an open mind.

I wonder if he had anything packed around the Tannerite such as nuts, nails, bolts and or ball bearings? It will be interesting to see if there is more to the inventory.

yeah, woops, haste makes waste, and thanks for pointing out the error. then (i suppose) the secondary audio path would have to be ~1125 ft / 2 = ~562.5 ft longer than the primary audio path.

While I wish it were sarcasm, one cannot believe the left would even care if there were larger numbers killed by such a blast.

Actually, it may well have played into the hands of the collective lefts objectives with their complicit mass media and academia.

This could prove to be one of many attempts to destroy conservatism and its leadership.

I don’t believe the leaders of the collective left are concerned at all about any of this violence.

These types of events serve to propagate and create support for their end goals.

At the very least, the leftist politicians, who truly desire to neutralize and exchange a sovereign U.S.A. for global governance, will not “let a crisis go to waste”!

The collective left has long been the entity supporting and preaching the world is overpopulated, and long been behind all infanticide and now the propaganda and new law in favor of euthanasia.

For the remotely observant it is rhetorical, but the question needs to be asked by a dumbed down society, if left wing socialists have been and are so worried about shootings, why have they universally and militantly attacked any and all vestiges of morality and Christianity in America for two generations.

For a glimpse of where this will end, one only needs to look at the history of the successful socialist and communist governments in the last century. Hundreds of millions were killed by socialist governments, as their populations were powerless to stop them.

They continue to this day to wage war on all moral boundaries. They have continually, and with great success, sought to destroy the family unit across the country, which has been directly linked to perpetual poverty, perpetual crime, violent crime, and homicide itself.

They have long sought to turn an American population of lions into a nation of dependent helpless sheep.

While not knowing the details of this LV killing event, real crimes have long been committed, including lives snuffed out, by socialist ideologs, such as with the Clintons, for decades. Only a fool could trust they would never do such a thing. They do not adhere to moral boundaries.

If left wing ideologs were truly interested in saving lives, why do the same socialist ideologs today continue to support with billions of dollars // the PLO, Hamas, Hezbalah - by way of Iran, $150 Billion to Iran itself (number one state sponsor of terror in the world, which overtly continues to seek ways to destroy America, Israel, and Europe), “Fast and Furious” (running guns to Mexican drug cartels, weapons smuggling to ISIS in Syria and Iraq etc... President Clinton illegally provided support to the Chinese to import large numbers of Chinese made AK-47’s directly into the US, and gave the Chinese the nuclear and missile tech necessary to target and destroy our cities!

Why did the severed heads of Christians being killed by AQI/ISIS receive almost zero coverage or concern? Why has the collective left continued to militantly preach and demand we accept without reservation, known illegal violent criminals and murderers in our “sanctuary cities”, and demanded we unquestionably allow mass immigration from known terrorist supporting regions? Terrorist almost cannot know the extent to which they are only pawns of the collective left, to destroy western Christian cultures and individual freedom.

**If left wing socialist democrats have been so concerned about lives lost, why have they worked so hard to support those who have caused violent mayhem in our streets, loudly proclaiming and providing motivational propaganda to spur the continued violent protest, crime, and killing of police officers across our country? They have even elevated violent socialist terrorist and those guilty of sedition to professorships in our colleges and even public office.

The collective left is truly guilty of mass bloodshed around the world, period!

And we are supposed to believe left wing socialist democrats are truly worried about our wellbeing and success as individuals and a nation!

I believe this was ultimately an attack on a predominantly conservative crowd. In the future, hopefully we will be able to look back and highlight the extent of these efforts.
