Law enforcement officials are investigating whether Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock had been planning an earlier attack in the city, a law enforcement source confirmed to CBS News.

According to a law enforcement source, investigators are looking at whether he may have first had his sights on the "Life is Beautiful" festival on Sept. 22 to Sept. 24.

The source, who was briefed on the police investigation, said Paddock had apparently tried to get a room at The Ogden and another hotel in downtown Las Vegas, but apparently the specific suites he requested were booked. The source speculated that Paddock may have been seeking rooms that were strategically located to the festival to launch an attack.

If that is the case, the perp was not attacking a particular audience, as Life Is Beautiful is nearly a complete opposite.

Looking less and less like a spontaneous freak out with no motive.

Exactly, sorta destroys the narrative that he was looking for Conservatives...

Yes, and officials need to disclose why, which I am sure is on either the video or note he left. Islam?

Terry Nichols was married to a muslim Phillipina.

Her parents ived in the same building as the failed Bojinka Plot bombers, the guys who planned to knock of John Paul 2 and knock 20 airliners out of the sky at the same time.

Under questioning by the cops in the Phillipines, guys from Abu Sayyaf described repeatedly meeting with a former US soldier they called “The Farmer”.

Terry Nichols’ job before joining the Army was farming.

McVeigh used a calling card when repeatedly calling the southern Phillipines. After the card was almost depleted McVeigh screwed up and replenished the card using a credit card tied to his name:

He had been repeatedly calling a public phone in the Phillipines then located right behind a well-known Abu Sayyaf safehouse.

Why did Casino Kook wire $100,000 to the Phillipines..?

Sudden Donor Syndrome...?

He was a degenerate gambler who spent more time in Strip hotels than his home, so why jump to this conclusion? This CBS report belongs in the circular file.

Shooter used toothpaste with a red tube. Film at eleven.

Shooter wore shoes from a Conservative shoe seller.

Shooter wore boxers. This should have been a tip-off.

Shooter was once seen with one finger with nail polish on it.

Shooter was once enrolled in Vacation Bible School as a child.

Shooter attended church as late as 22 years ago. Nobody thought to warn authorities.

And on and on it will go...

Can’t wait until all this dims into the woodwork.

Well, his girlfriend Marilou is in the Philippines after visiting Japan and Hong Kong - two very expensive places.

“Life is Beautiful” would have been a “White supremacist” or “right-wing terrorist’s” dream...hip hop, rap, liberal female and gay artists. Instead he chose the Trump supporters. What does that tell you?

There is no doubt that Oklahoma city was a conspiracy but the government covers all traces of conspiracy in any event.

Starting with the biggest cover-up of all - the JFK murder.

You are correct the connection to the Philippines should be carefully explored but who is going to trust the FBI findings. Most Philippians are Catholic though.
