Law Enforcement Has Failed The Las Vegas Massacre Victims
DB Daily Update ^ | 10.14.2017 | David Blackmon

Posted on 10/14/2017 5:34:18 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

It is hard to remember any modern criminal investigation that was botched as badly in its public communications as the investigation into the Las Vegas massacre has been. The Orlando shootings were a mess, but at least investigators into that terrorist attack had a timeline nailed down within about 48 hours of the incident. The same was true of the San Bernardino terrorist assault – within a few days of that mass murder, law enforcement appeared to have the salient facts of the case pretty well nailed down and communicated to the public.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the ongoing (we think, anyway) investigation (such as it may be) into the mass shootings in Las Vegas, which killed 58 innocent people and wounded almost 500. The investigators in this case still do not appear to have nailed down the simplest, most basic facts of the case, starting with when the shooter checked into the damn hotel.

On Friday, Sheriff Joe Lombardo seemed to confirm that, after 12 full days of claiming that the shooter checked into the Mandalay Bay Resort on September 28, he and his crack staff of investigators finally got with the hotel’s front desk, had them hit a few keys on their computer, and determined that he actually checked in on September 25. This is a fact many ordinary people have known for at least a week, thanks to the revelation by hotel employees of both a room service receipt dated September 27, and a valet receipt in the shooter’s name dated – guess what? – September 25.

But maybe Sheriff Lombardo didn’t confirm that as an actual fact – it’s almost impossible to tell, given that he is possibly the most nervous, shifty, and inept public speaker in the history of American law enforcement.

He is not John Podesta’s son-in-law. Podesta’s daughter has the same last name, but photos of her and her family are readily available on the Internet, and her husband is not the FBI agent. This is fake news.

The article is correct that the sheriff cannot seem to get the simplest facts straight. The timeline below, created by an anonymous web surfer using Youtube videos, is far more credible than anything release the the police/FBI. Significantly, notice how the creator of it builds into it points of uncertainty. ("Wut?" and "?"). Early in the investigation, the police said that they would only reveal facts that they were confident were accurate. If that is true, I'd hate to see what they have not revealed yet.

Why is the Pizzagate-Podesta family involved
with ANYTHING involving US security after what
has been revealed?

It isn’t. The FBI guy is NOT related to Podesta.

Yep, I meant Brennan's lackeys. Not Bannon. Already apologized, My bad. Wish I could get the Moderator to change that.

Has anybody seen any authentic pictures of the huge piles of spent brass within the hotel room which would be all over if the story the FBI would like us to believe were true?

Any authentic picture of 200+ bullets holes in the hallway?

And, why were audio recordings on cellphones provided to the FBI eraced?

How do you cover up a little mess? With a big mess... This is a “forest for the trees” situation now. They would need to do a very in-depth investigation of everybody that died that night, and maybe, just maybe, they would find what the big mess is covering up.

And if that were true, which I sincerely doubt, what has that got to do with the LV shooting?

At this point, the EASIEST case to put together is that the feds are very active manipulating the evidence to support a narrative which they will eventually construct.

Rest assured that there will be nothing in their story that will involve anything reminescent of ‘FAST & FURIOUS’ or the Oklahoma Kansas City bombing.....

There will be no connection to any globalist gun confiscation agenda orchestrated out of any federal agency.

>”This thing smells of CIA,FBI and NSA involvement.JMHO!”

>>”Really? OMG....really? Because their mission is to fire wildly into mass crowds of Americans?”

It wasn’t the mission of the BATF to channel guns to Mexican Drug Cartels either, but they did it.

You don't have the intellect to recognize an illegal, ill-advised operation (which quite a few get drafted up annually) is light years from mass murder?

What is your theory? Those of us in the business sit around all day long thinking of ways to commit mass murder of the very people we are charged to protect?

If that's the case, form your militia and have a go at it.

“Paddock was either an ISIS lock-stepper, or a radical left-wing progressive... You can bet he had help, too.”

Not so simple, IMO. Who in the Federal government would act to defend ISIS thugs or progressive thugs? Is the Swamp that deep?

Yes, Obama holdovers abound in D.C., but enough to concoct a grand conspiracy to commit mass murder? BTW, if the intended effect of the massacre was to spur a rush to national gun control, it has utterly failed.

FWIW, my view on the JFK assassination since I remember where I was that day: Lee Harvey Oswald was a commie whom even the Soviets couldn’t stand, but he acted alone. One nutjob with a surplus rifle fired three shots, and it changed our history as well as our gun laws.

So far, what is the fallout from the Las Vegas massacre? A proposed ban on bumpfire stocks that’s going nowhere, and if we want to get conspiratorial, I think Diane Feinstein has already been told to cool her jets on this one.

Why, I don’t know. Go figure.

A pox on this author. Over 20,000 people were at that concert. The interviews are far from over & this Sheriff & his deputies did a good job at finding & stopping the shooting. Otherwise, it could have gone on much longer. The perp had plenty of ammo still in his room. He intended to use it, IMO.

Nighttime—loud music—windows tinted over—noise echoes like a canyon in LV.

This author needs to go there & see it for himself.

He needs to quit making such assumptions from behind his desk in the safety of his own home.

BTW- Does this author have a gun for his own use? Or is he adding to chorus of gun-grabbers???

Several things:

- I own a dozen guns. My father was a gun collector and gunsmith. I know guns, own guns, love guns. So f off on that bullshit.

- I offered no criticism whatsoever about law enforcement’s initial response to the shootings, and was very specific in the piece’s first paragraph that my criticism is about communications, not execution. Try reading the piece and understanding it before popping off.

- I not only said nothing about “noise” or any other of the prevailing conspiracy theories, I actually debunked one on this very thread. Again, try reading before responding.

- I have visited Vegas more than 50 times in the last 20 years, and spent more than year of my life on the Strip. I have stayed at the Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand multiple times, and fully understand how noise would echo in the area around the country music venue. I think people pushing these “multiple shooter” theories are basically ignoramuses about the area and/or shameless attention seekers.

Anything else?

You have to be kidding me? Ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama, in reality, hated the USA and the American people. That says it all. Everything he did or said was planned to destroy the American Constitution and Republic. The beloved, Obama JV, ISIS, speaks for itself. End of story.

The so-called confusion is a smokescreen.

Very interesting.

Does this compiler have anything to say about the video from the guy hiding under the bleachers where around minute 4 there are clearly heard two completely different weapons? At first you think the high sounding shots and the low sounding shots are the same weapon, the low one seeing the reverb/echo from other buildings. But around minute four you hear the low shots first and separate.

I don’t know. I don’t even know where the compiler is posting his/her timelines originally. Besides the one I posted, there is an earlier version with fewer sourced videos. So, if there was a way to call his attention to the bleacher video, he might update the timeline.

Originally, I found on Imagur.com but haven’t been able to find it again. I’m not familiar with navigating that site.
