They breached the door and shot him immediately.

Timelines I've read say they pulled back and waited for SWAT.

Because it wasn't one person that moved the arms up there and it wasn't going to only one room.

Which means the other attackers should be on camera.

Ok, all you 64 year olds out there (63-66) age males who don't work out or are avid runners, without a particular knowledge of tools nor skill using them, can you gather the materials needed, smuggle them through the lobby, into and up 32 floors in public elevators, put two shooting platforms together, using materials and tools you have little knowledge nor skill using, presumably hauling again through a lobby and up 32 floors in a public elevator, into a hotel room using power screw drivers, etc., in less than two days?

Can you run back and forth getting set up on two shooters platforms you just erected to hold your weight and the weight of your weapons and repeat shooting in just a few seconds?

Do you even know the dimensions needed to make these platforms that will hold you up to steady your shooting?

Just a few questions?

I'm waiting for an answer..............

He also owned and lived part time in a home in Reno. Let’s not forget that.

I thought she was the one telling everyone was about to be killed? If it wasn’t who was warning everyone?

HOW DID HE GET PAST EVERYONE WITH ALL THE AMMO AND WEAPONS IN THE HOTEL??????

Over 4 days? Easy... he got a cart, loaded it up with luggage and walked up. Just like anyone could do...

Take a look at the pictures from inside his room... it wasn't as involved a set up as you make it out to be.

How? Oversized golf bag? Guitar case? Suitcase? I could go on, but it wouldn’t be hard.

I worked in a Casino in Atlantic City for 15 years and 20-30,000 dollars transactions happen by the minute.It barely even made the radar.There are some joints where that kind of player would be considered a “flea”..ie a piker

I’ve not seen those photos - yet, but I’m still thinking it took some knowledge and yes, it’s probably all over the internet but I know a guy who buys tools to “help” him do some stuff around our home, without any knowledge of using those tools and after time and quite a bit of money, gives up and finally hires someone who actually knows how to make something or actually fix something that needs fixing.

One more bad part of all of this is that Paddock has made ISIS look like the amateurs they are. They’ll be looking to copycat this in short order, watching specifically at how the media loves these types of events.

While he created terror, he is not a terrorist unless the terror he created has a specific intent to affect others behavior through coercion.

If he killed all those people because he wanted to go out with a bang and be famous in death, then he isn’t a terrorist.

If he killed all those people because he thought they tended toward a set of beliefs or behaviors he was opposed to and thought he could turn people away from the those actions or beliefs by his actions then he is a terrorist.

Exactly.

They are learning from that Las Vegas terrorist act as we talk.

Frightening when you think about the possibility of copycats also.

No too long ago I stumbled upon a website that listed voter registration by party/political contributions for the rich and famous. The list was broken down by profession (athletes, actors, CEO’s etc). Nearly all of the professional gamblers (mostly poker players) were registered democrat and had contributed to democrat candidates.

“hasn’t flown in over 7 years”

Means nothing to have an expired FAA Medical certificate for someone that cares nothing about regulations.

Unless the airman is involved in a report able accident and or is FAA ramp checked - (unlikely), then he can fly all that he wants. With his personal wealth, he would not even have to renew his aircraft insurance policy, since otherwise the carrier would want proof of airman currency including medical certificate.
