Stephen Paddock Booked Hotel Overlooking Lollapalooza 2 Months Before Vegas Massacre
TMZ ^ | October 5, 2017

Posted on 10/05/2017 6:35:50 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Stephen Paddock had his sights set on Lollapalooza in Chicago and even booked 2 rooms in a hotel that overlooked the massive outdoor venue ... TMZ has learned.

Paddock booked one room for August 1, 2017, 2 days before the August 3 kickoff. Paddock then booked a second room for an August 3 arrival. Both rooms had an August 6 checkout .. that's when Lollapalooza ended.

The hotel directly overlooked the main stage as well as several adjoining stages. It also overlooks the main entrance and exit where thousands of people file through. And the hotel had a bird's-eye view of the crowd. We're told Paddock specifically requested both rooms be a "view room" which only face Grant Park, where the concert was being held. And here's the scariest part ... it's difficult if not impossible to flee because of Lake Michigan. Sources tell TMZ Paddock had never booked a room at the hotel before, nor had his girlfriend.

Our sources say Paddock never showed.

Trial run and something didn’t work out; not enough Conservatives to kill at that particular venue?

Lucky for those concert attendees!

My theory is that this was originally planned to be a false flag event to kill rap fans and cause a race riot. When that didn’t pan out, it changed into a plan to kill country music fans.

He was a no show. Hotel was happy, they got the money and don’t have to clean up the room. Also Lollapalooza is a bunch of snowflakes and not Trump supporters.

Perhaps changed his mind after finding out the Obama daughter attended these gigs. Maybe extra security? Who knows.

These faux hotel bookings were a distraction from from this hateful, Obama/Clinton lunatic’s main thrust, the killing of Trump supporters!!! End of story. Wake up, FBI!!!

Due to chiraq’s stringent gun laws he probably decided to move his act someplace else. As we all know, the is NO gun violence in chiraq.

When will they discover he had a room booked at Max Yasgur’s farm overlooking Woodstock? Sure a lot of “information” coming out.

I heard he had booked a room outside Bethel NY for the nights of August 15 thru August 18, 1969.

My guess is, unless he planned to drive, it would have been a fairly large obstacle to get the guns there. I’m betting that’s why he bagged it.

My thought too - he wouldn’t be flying the guns in.

Increased security also due to Obama kids being there. He either got word it would be too difficult or he showed up and saw the increased security and bolted.
