the most ridiculous part of this is the demand to know why he would break out TWO windows.
like it’s really dastardly, or revealing, or mysterious.
for anyone with a lick of common sense, it should be totally obvious.
They want you to think, “two windows broken open, therefor two shooters..!”
it’s the reasoning of a simplistic mind.
I do believe there were two shooters however the evidence the particular evidence cited here doesn’t make that a requirement.
the evidence being cited here is silly.
It’s similar to the question:
“how on Earth could and a non-military man hit people 400m away in a crowd of 22,000 people who laid down stationary for him and later sought cover in a fabric tent..?!”
the much etter question is how could he fail.
With two windows broken out the airflow would allow the shooter to keep breathing. Otherwise the gunpowder smoke, even with smokeless powder, would build up quickly.
I looked at some banners and other type flags in various videos during the shooting and while there wasn’t much of a breeze; there was some. Enough to clear the room allowing the shooter to keep breathing good air.
As prepared as this guy was; I bet he found a shed somewhere out in the desert (not hard to do) then started shooting hundreds of rounds from inside so the flash couldn’t easily be seen from outside just like in a hotel room. He probably found out the shed filled up with an acrid tasting, eye burning, smoke and fumes hence the two windows at different ends of the suite being broken out. The cross breeze was just enough even though it wasn’t much.
That’s my theory anyway.
Geez I can’t believe I have to do this, this is so depressing:
the basic principle in any armed defense is you must account for and cover all avenues of approach.
Like why did he set up a bunch of cameras..? did he perchance suddenly start at a new audio-visual hobby...? no, that was to tell him that cops were coming down the hall to get him.
He was covering that Avenue of approach.
why did he break out the other window..?
to provide him the opportunity to lay down fire if that was the direction from which responders would be coming to get him.
like cops arriving for example, or maybe victims would run to that side of the hotel; if the window on that side were pre broken, he could then continue shooting.
wow some real mental retardation on this thread, here.
Freaking SCARY.
Apparently some people also have never heard of wheeled luggage, or bellhop carts, or going back to one’s car again and again over the course of FIVE days.
