Just breaking. A lot of repots on Twitter from people.
True Pundit reported this:
An active shooter reportedly on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay bar Hotel in Las Vegas has gunned down at least one police officer and others.
Liberalism is a mental disorder. He’ll be tormented for eternity in hell, not that it is much consolation to the relatives of all of those murdered, and those that will live with life-long injuries.
It’s gone now. Good catch.
I watched the video, I see a few inconsistencies in the brothers statements. He is telling the media he will give them all the help he can, at the end but when they ask what business he was in with his brother he doesn’t want to answer.
Also, claiming he wasn’t close with his brother to distance himself from him but he “moved” his brother to Nevada a couple years ago. His question for the media “where did he get the machine guns”. That isn’t what a conservative would say but that does go with the whole gun control theme/issue.
I think he knew more about his brothers politics than he is saying.
Not so sure the pink $ussy hat guy is him. The documented two photos including the younger photo seems like he has next to nothing in the way in eye brows. Pink $ussy hat guy appears to have eye brows.
I have also read that his girlfriend was an employee of one of the casino’s. She/they may have had friends who worked at Mandalay Bay who helped secure the suite he wanted. I want to know more about her.
It’s a 1200+ post thread. You have to expect a little restatement here or there because people come into the thread at different points.
Thank you for the reporting. This fact is ABSENT on Fox, which I’ve been monitoring all day. Shep is on (ugh.)
I wonder if it was actually mounted, the weapons. I counted a full 30 seconds before the shooter could reload and launch his second volley. Long time.
It took police an hour and 12 minutes from the first 911 call to locate Paddock in the building. They were able to figure out that the shots were coming from the Mandalay Bay, so they worked their way from the bottom up. Once they reached the 32nd floor, authorities say they knew they were in the right place. Why remains unclear, but they could have possible smelt or heard gunfire.
To me, that is a very long time. The shooter had to have exhausted his ammunition supply since NO WHERE have I read or heard that the attack lasted 72 MINUTES.
Now, to me, that leaves a very long time for someone to have killed Paddock and left the scene. Just a possibility, but for there to have been SUCH A LONG TIME between when the attack ceased and when they found Paddock, that does not sit well for an open and shut case from my view.
Nice grab!
Nothing on Fox about this. They have people on scene, since last night actually, but very little in the way of any new information.
He could have gone to the other window in that time. Maybe had to bust it out too.
Oh, I wouldn’t know. But a military man on TV last night thought he may have been inexperienced, a “newbie” and may have taken longer.
Guest in next room reported that after 10 or 15 minutes, the shooting was over...long long time before PD arrives.
Disgruntled gamblers have blow up entire casinos before. Like Harrahs Tahoe, about 25 or so years ago. Compound that with being an anti Trump hater, country music, white folk.
I dunno
...
We can’t discount the woman’s influence, convincing him to hate whites, hate Trump...she is Filipino decent...
There is no way this is disgruntled employee, gambler stuff...the anti-Trump, Antifa, yes.
Look for muzzle flashes. Count floors.
Was he reloading or just getting one of the 10 rifles he had in the room?
Lot of questions still to be answered.
One of the elements of planning here that hasn’t been mentioned yet is that he was essentially invulnerable for the entire incident.
Too high to target from the ground with handguns. Too many opportunities to miss and hit an innocent from the ground or another hotel (Luxor) by rifle.
Had he planned a little more he could have booby trapped the doors against breach with an automatic shotgun, or a pair of them. That or a shape charge.
Some are saying he committed suicide, but its not clear at this point how the shooter was killed.
No mention of the woman who was escorted out 45 minutes prior announcing they were all going to die.
He’s shady.
I don’t get it. I really don’t. None of this makes any sense, as far as criminal acts go. What the hell would be his motive to go on a mass slaughter spree? And we’re told he was a country music fan, yet he attacks a country music fest? The guy has no record, except for a traffic ticket. He has no record of mental illness; although his dad was a psycho. Where the hell did he get full auto weapons? And with no military background, how the hell could he know how to use them the way he did? Moreover, do any of you think this guy was sufficiently competent to plan such an attack? And then he kills himself? Something about this just plain stinks. I starting to wonder if he was a patsy.
One thing that would have helped: Turn the stage spotlights onto the windows. It would have blinded him.
“What the hell would be his motive to go on a mass slaughter spree? “
What was the motive of the Aurora, Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois shooters?
