Five Years Since the Route 91 Massacre No One Knows a Damn Thing
Rolling Stone via MSN ^ | 9/21/2022 | Jonathan Bernstein

“You have to stop and realize how much it’s changed you,”

- snip -

Yet five years since the massacre at Route 91, little else has, when it comes to mass shootings in the U.S. The suspect, a 64-year-old white man who took his own life by the time authorities entered his room, was identified, yet no motive was ever determined.

And the survivors, traumatized and struggling to heal — an estimated 22,000 people attended the festival’s third day — find it hard to agree upon anything. Even the official death toll is a point of fierce debate.

In another settlement, this one involving local authorities, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was ordered to pay the Las Vegas Review-Journal a quarter-million dollars after being sued by the newspaper over its lack of transparency during the investigation. When Rolling Stone reached out to the police department for an update on the case, officials referred us to a 187-page report released 10 months after the shooting that failed to determine a motive.

- snip -

Bassett-Quintero, the woman whose shoulder is tattooed with a lyric from Aldean’s “When She Says Baby,” says it’s the lack of answers that have prohibited her from finding closure. Nearly everything since Oct. 1 remains unresolved.

“That’s the most frustrating part for me. I’m a criminal-justice major, and so I wanted to know the details. I just felt that we as survivors from Route 91 didn’t get that. I read every report and combed through it. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I just wanted to know the facts,” she says. “How do you fully move forward not knowing any part of the why?”

Hidden hand operation to kill the Crown Prince of the KSA that went awry so a cover had to be quickly mounted.

This reminded me of the Mandalay Bay massacre... but then realized...

REPORT: 2017 Las Vegas Massacre Carried Out by ISIS/Antifa, Concealed by FBI

^^^^ ref’d the first Mandalay Bay article I found... not suggesting it was ISIS/Antifa... but the FBI connection seems plausible

Thanks for posting on this.

Recently, I saw a startling photo of the crime scene.

The shooters hotel suite had two windows.

One window looked directly down on the concert, but that was not the window the shooter used.

Instead, the shooter chose a window that was at a 90 degree angle to the crowd, which made return fire or suppression fire against the shooter almost impossible.

That indicates professional planning to me, plus the question, "Was the shooter smart enough to see that and plan that himself?"

Route 91 Massacre? When did it start being called that?

...five years since the massacre at Route 91

My first thought was, what the heck is that?

I did an internet search and my second thought was why didn't they call it "The Las Vegas Sniper Shootings" so we would know what they were talking about?

Because Las Vegas hotels influenced what it would be called? And didn’t want the bad vibes?

It had that name early on. Most of the attendees drove over to Vegas from SoCal. Route 91 goes through LA, OC and the IE.

About a year later some of them were caught in a second mass shooting north of LA.

IIRC, a week or so after the Mandalay murders back in good old Saudi Arabia, lots of people were rounded up...

The name of the concert was the Route 91 Harvest. The road most of SoCal travels to get there

No one non-local knows that. Nationally it’s either the Las Vegas concert mass shooting or the Mandalay Bay mass shooting.

During a press conference, the law enforcement official had a set of ear pieces on and a collar mic. After taking a question from the press, “don’t go there” was overheard through the mic from his ear pieces. My wife and I both figured the press conference was given under duress and the FBI was running it.

OAN has since given an editorial detailing where the “investigation” stopped. The shooter had “committed suicide” by shooting himself with his non-firing hand through his upper and lower front teeth, up through his head, and a second door into that room wasn’t locked.

Route 91 Massacre? When did it start being called that?

I had to read Route 91 massacre and I said to myself "What in the world is Route 91 Massacre".

Why don't they call it "The Mandalay Hotel Massacre"

It was a Massacre.

There is no one on the face of this earth that can tell me with a straight face the reason isn’t known.

Of course they know, probably all the way down the line but for some reason they don’t want anyone to know.

The massive amount of law enforcement involved in the largest mass shooting in US history didn’t come up empty..

The suspect, a 64-year-old white man who took his own life ...was identified, yet no motive was ever determined.

The suspect was exercising his 5th Amendment rights by refusing to talk.

The fact that virtually nothing has ever come up about Steven Paddock has always left me with weird vibes.

I mean, countless books have been written about Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Columbine, Son of Sam etc.....
yet not a single “professional” journalist has written a darn thing about this guy.

I have always suspected that Paddock was a government employee (FBI/DEA/ATF/CIA etc....) that just went berserk and wasted everyone.
of course, assuming that Paddock was the perpetrator.

If it was a 1% biker dude who went nuts, every Outlaw, Pagan, and hells angel clubhouse in the country would have been raided.

Something stinks worse then the stench in between Kamala’s legs with this tragedy!
