Questions about Las Vegas
Flopping Aces ^ | 10-10-17 | John Velisek USN (Ret.)

The investigation of the shooting in Las Vegas continues. A crime scene so massive and with so many different scenarios will be completely covered and no question will go unanswered. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo is doing a masterful job and both he and other investigators have worked countless hours attempting to find out the what and why of what happened.

As always, we will not get all the answers that the American people are seeking. In the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in American history it is imperatives that the answers are clear, concise and honest. I am convinced that at the end of all the investigations, and the media has moved on to the next major story, there will still be questions about why this happened and how did it happen.

Questions remain, some may be just conspiracy and some may be factual. In either case, they are questions that need to be answered. One question is that the authorities are stating that Paddock did not check in until September 28th. A question arises when individuals who work at the Mandalay Bay assert that Paddock ordered room service on the 27th for two people. Who was that other person and why are authorities stating that Paddock did not check in until the 28th? Sources at the Mandalay Bay are claiming that Paddock actually checked in on the 25th.

Paddock, an out of shape former accountant with no military training is not capable of pulling this off by himself. With no experience in guns, how could he have fired as rapidly and accurately as he did. As a military veteran and have experience with fully automatic weapons, they can be hard to control, jam easily and tend to overheat. Using an automatic weapon effectively takes extensive training and experience in the use of such weapons. Being a retired accountant senior citizen, I do not understand how Paddock had the skill or the stamina to fire for so long.The overheating is also a reason why suppressors (silences in Hillarys vernacular) are never used on such weapons. They have a tendency to melt and more quickly jam the gun.

How is law enforcement convinced that there was only one shooter? There are pictures that clearly show rifle fire from a lower window. And why are there recordings of law enforcement talking of another possible suspect on the fourth floor?

At the scene of the crime, why were all the exits blocked. Those 22,000 happy concert goers found themselves trapped, with ability to get out or to seek cover. The ten foot walls kept the multitude of people in the fire zone with no way out.

I have been to Las Vegas many times, living in Southern California and I can not understand how anyone, much less Paddock can carry so many weapons and ammunition into a room without being seen.

Even Trey Gowdy, the no nonsense Representative from South Carolina is skeptical. In Rep. Gowdy’s words, he is skeptical that the amount of premeditation and can not believe that a single person could have done this without assistance.

Further questions include: why so many rifles and weapons if there was only one shooter. Were the rifles that were there for another shooter? Were they all Paddock’s weapons and was he funded by others to have that so many weapons?

Paddock was found dead in his room by a self inflicted gunshot wound. Law enforcement states that he shot himself when they blew the door open to his room. Is there a ballistic report on the bullet that killed him that will close out that part of the investigation?

The broken windows on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay are the supposed site where the firing of the bullets that killed 58 people took place. Automatic weapons have a very pronounced flash, why were there no flashes from the 32nd floor? I have not heard whether flash suppressors were used, but even then there would be some flash. There are purported to be flashes from the 4th floor, but that has not been confirmed. The audio of the online videos and other videos it clearly be heard overlapping gunfire from two different weapons. Barring any further explanation, how can Paddock be responsible for all the carnage.'

But since when does room service care how many people are in the room?

To know how many place settings are needed. It's not like the bell hop delivers a paper bag like at the McDonald's window. This is a ritzy suite and deserves ritzy treatment. Hence, a white cloth covered food cart with real plates and tableware instead of plastic. Otherwise, the hotel couldn't charge him $36 for a burger.

After the investigations and official explanations for Waco, TWA Flt 800, OKC Murrah bombing, Bin Laden's death and even the JFK assasination, I have my doubts that we'll learn much truth about what happened in LV.

In fact, the most fun I had last weekend was reading through this YUGE pile of conspiracy.

After all we, the people, have been fed year after year, I just love a good conspiracy, don't you?

Objective facts are flimsy inanities to you? Where am I wrong?

You’re the one pushing verbal abuse constituting propaganda without objective facts.

Yes I do. Keeping my eye on it, but not making up complex stories based on the little we know and easily destroyed by new facts.

Exactly and what was at first thought to be rifle flash for lower is really a strobe light that was still going off hours after the event.

I thought I remember from early on that it was set to stream to a remote location.

But you have to set the device to record or have SIM cards in the cameras to capture it locally. I know that the in-car cameras for racing can produce files larger than 2GB for a 20 minute session and that is not at highest quality. Maybe he was doing both and the statement from the police is correct there was nothing recorded from the cameras but until we know what the cameras were, we won’t know if anything was recorded in them.

‘He last came in to the center around 11am last Thursday and checked in at the desk, but didn’t stop for lunch like he usually does. ‘Instead he went straight up to the counter to speak with the cook and asked her about an enchiladas dish she cooks, he wanted to know how she made it.

Wonder what he was doing between checking in on the 25th and getting room service for two on the 27th? And then it seems, unless everyone is off on dates, he was back in Mesquite on the 28th. Was he driving back and forth to get more guns and ammo?

Surely, NSA can check traffic cameras to see where he was the week before.

I believe that the narrative will continue to morph and change because the TRUTH is probably more horrible than people want to believe.

Just like there is a connection between Soros and the NFL’s shenanigans, there is probably a “Deep State” connection.

Just Sayin’...

The analysis is done, we now know to an absolute certainty that there were two major shooters, in addition to the fake security guards doing the shooting on the ground.

Where are you getting this stuff from?

Said while wearing my best poker face: "Based upon past experience, I have no doubts and absolute faith that, now that the FBI has taken over the investigation, we'll learn the answers to our questions that we're supposed to learn."

However, believing those answers is another thing altogether.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT ISIS CLAIM ???
When ISIS made this claim wether or not that proof of connection to Paddock can be made. Questioning ISIS and their practices should be made.
The media coverage on this is truly bizarre. Here you have the “Muzzi” ISIS claiming involvement showing up everywhere in the UK press but gets buried here in the US..

Why wont they ? Perhaps it’s because according to their codex known as Sharia the actions taken by Paddock has been sanctioned by Almighty God.

Because most political perverts don’t believe in such a thing as God they can’t concieve of followers of Islam believing in what they are doing is actually serving God. It must be something else. So the progressive perverts running the show avoid bringing that up and blame guns.

Unfortuantely it’s not just these perverted frauds known as democrats that refuse to face the justification that this group relies on to commit these atrocitys. It also includes religious leaders like Pope Francis.

By not doing so aloows it to continue.
