Well the sheriff said it wasn’t a suicide note a couple of days ago but a bunch of numbers.
I was at a bump stop or a bump stock
And nobody in the crowd could shoot back.
If that were possible, this chap might have thought twice about his fish-in-a-barrel idea. Fish in a barrel that shoot back are not nearly the fun.
“Very eerie. Yeah, the dust from the explosive breach. And then you have the flashing lights,” Newton said. “And that looked straight, like, out of a movie, you know?”
Police have still not determined the motive for the attack and said they aren’t yet sure whether anyone else was involved.

okay now it was the police who set off the fire alarm from the explosive breach. we were told up until now Paddock set it off from all his rapid fire inside the room.
Well he DID calculate it. It was in a no-guns-allowed place.
Considering what he was shooting and the elevation he pretty much could have aimed right at them and possibly below them. If he had sighted in the rifles to be on the money at 400 yards level ground he would definitely need to aim low.
From what I heard on about a 15 minute YouTube video, the shooter didn’t know what he was doing. He would fire a long burst, then there would be a long pause before he fired another long burst and would then pause for a long time before letting loose another burst. The long pauses, especially the first pause permitted crowd separation which saved many lives.
They’ve been pretending for days that they were baffled by the note with numbers on it. The most obvious first thing to check would be shooting calculations.
The public is being given the mushroom treatment.
Unless he was looking for specific people in the crowd, this would not have been necessary. The bullet drop for 308 at that range is between 60” and 70”. All he had to do was aim at the far end of the crowd and it would land solidly in the crowd. If his calculations are as complete as someone trained in sniping, then he would have to have trained with someone to learn how to do this. But if the numbers are just rough, then it still doesn’t mean much. We already know he was calculating and on a mission. He only needed rough skills to do great damage.

“killed himself with a gun before police entered the room to find his body and 47 weapons.”
They didn’t find 47 weapons.
“officers found 23 guns in the hotel room, including high-powered rifles capable of penetrating police armor.”

No one cares about facts when reporting - ever.
How many rounds of what calibers were fired?
Why bother? How hard is it to point somewhere in the middle of the crow and continue for 10 minutes? He didn’t need calculations, but that’s a good story to feed the sheeple. Maybe he was bored or biding his time.
What the heck is a “bump stop”?
Rhetorical. They obviously don’t know what a stock is
Is it just me or is the news dead on this investigation? This is the only thing I’ve seen all day.
I guess the FBICIASWAMP has the momentum.
“As authorities search for a motive, Paddock’s finances have become a significant focal point — most notably, 200-plus casino or wire transactions by Paddock that were flagged for review by FinCEN, the U.S. government’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which collects data to identify potential money laundering or covert terrorism financing. The FBI is also reviewing transactions by Danley that were flagged by FinCEN. According to a source familiar with the probe, the various transactions date back to 2014 and are being vigorously investigated. The sources said one transaction that has drawn significant attention is a $100,000 transfer to the Philippines by either Paddock or Danley prior to Sunday’s shooting. Danley was in the Philippines when Paddock opened fire on the crowd in Las Vegas.”
maybe he couldn't get rooms there...
maybe he had help elsewhere to increase the kill...
I don't know...
he did this to kill people but he also did it to make some evil point..
So how is it that 60 Minutes get a virtual exclusive on this “public police news?”
He smashed two windows and nobody on the ground complained about falling glass?
