And using the stash of weapons as money to pay for the transaction. The number of guns in Vegas makes no sense even if there were two shooters in two windows. Then when you see the video montage to make the time line w/ the 8 separate bursts makes single gun man plausible. I was thinking a sale of guns that went wrong.
Maybe that was it, once the transaction fell apart and you shoot Paddock in his room with all the guns, how else to help hide your escape than to make it look like a crazy guy mass shooting.
Conspiracies start to fill the void of facts. Not many facts here.
But how about the other venues he checked out?
The gun deal gone wrong scenario is ridiculous. He legally purchased these weapons so that would make him the most idiotic gun dealer in the West.
Secondly, he clearly prepped for this attack - casing various venues, the video cameras set up to monitor the hallway, sending his dogface girlfriend away and sending her money to buy a house, the ballistic calculations on the notepad, the gloves he was wearing so he didn’t burn himself while firing, taking a hammer with him to knock out the windows and now the lack of hard drive - its all very obviously a planned attack.
So he removed the hard drive and tossed it in the hallways trash - it was long destroyed and gone before the keystone cops even discovered it was missing. Big deal - common sense move if you want to cover your tracks. Smarter than just erasing it with a commercial program. Law enforcement can recover deleted data so this again shows Paddock was no dummy.
The only conspiracy I see is the hotel trying to CYA from lawsuits since they clearly did not contact the police very fast. That is typical of Vegas hotels - they want to handle things in house. They aren’t telling us something but its probably not some grand big deal - more like the fact their security team screwed up.
