This is the first image of the suspected gunman who killed at least 50 people when he opened fire at a music festival in Las Vegas.
Stephen Paddock has been named as the shooter who shot dead crowds of revellers at a country music event on the city's world famous strip.
As well as the 50 people confirmed dead, over 200 others are injured after the gunman opened fire on music festival revellers.
Crowds were enjoying the Route 91 Harvest country music festival when the shooter reportedly started spraying bullets from a hotel balcony.
As terrified revellers fled for their lives, officials received reports of an "active" gunman and patrol vehicles descended on the popular US Strip.
Some officers were seen taking cover behind their vehicles, while others carrying assault rifles ran into the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) later confirmed that one suspect was dead and that he is believed to have acted alone.

Yes, start the tribunals and I think HUAC and other investigations. I just don't think we're taking the socialist/communist threat seriously enough.
From another article:
“The Islamic State militant group claimed on Monday that Mr. Paddock was one of its soldiers, but did not provide any evidence to support its claim. The F.B.I. said there was no evidence so far that Mr. Paddock had ties to any international terrorist organization.”

Most articles say he was nonpolitical. Maybe he was just crazy. Maybe he did not have anything to do with Islam, maybe they just tried to claim it as another success story for them, but who knows. You never know about the quiet ones.
We’ll see what they find as they continue the investigation.
Amen
Yup. The cry for more gun control, take up all the guns will cry in the halls of the fools in Congress. Every leftist alive will cry for further gun laws and controls. Even though we have more gun laws and tougher abilities to buy guns than any nation on earth, the cry will go on. That is how Hitler got control, how Saddam got control, etc., total gun control. The people cannot defend themselves against the tyrants that RULE, not govern, but RULE over the people. The day they have the White House, and both houses of Congress, plus they own most of the federal judges positions, and such, they will pack in the gun take away and in the end try to get them all, and then only the criminals and the leftist army of leftist cops will rule.
Sincerely Dead...

320 feet is pretty high up in a hotel. What was the floor (floor 13 is non-existent in any hotel)? What is the distance from the base of the hotel to tje point of impact?
Anyone knowing about riflery will tell you that major adjustments of the sights must be made to account for the ballistics of shooting either uphill or downhill, in which in either case the on-the-level settings will cause the bullet to fall lower than the point that the sight picture indicates; and the farther away the more the deviation. Also, for a .223 caliber that might be considerable as compared to a .308 which reaches further out.
Doubtless in this case at the distance, inclination, and wind speed prevailing, in a milling crowd, in a rapid-fire scenario, an attempt to aim fire at any specific individual(s) would be quite unlikely.
The best one could do as a target in the crowd mass would be to move as rapidly as possible, laterally and in an erratic fashion, away from the center of the impact area into as area with as much peripheral cover available, solid or visual.
The worst strategy would be to remain hunkered down partially or completely exposed and immobile if one did not know where the shot were coming from, if the shooter was really sniping rather than just randomly sending plunging fire into the highest-density portion of the crowd.
Any infantryman knows that his unit needs to disperse whether under artillery or MG searching fire; and with personnel moving from cover to cover if it is a sniper seeking individual targets.
In this case, probably the shooter had observed and made allowances for the behavior of crowds, the location, and the density of grouping to know how to pre-plan his attack tactics with effective precision, eh?
Are you talking about the young woman warned that “you’re all gonna die” by two hispanics (man and woman)? The young woman left the scene before the shooting occurred, but later gave her testimony...
Well it is evident much thought and planning went into the shooting and that there was plenty of premeditation
That’s it in a nutshell!
Erase the f@#ing words and get on with your life. Sheez. I couldn’t watch it all.
Those pic comparisons came out awfully quick
>>Sheez. I couldnt watch it all.
The cadets didn’t have any choice - other than “get out”.

No, the 61 yr old. Marilou Danley, of Filipino decent.
They can’t just make them clean a sidewalk with a toothbrush, or drop and give ‘em 50? Hazing is humane by comparison with listening to that loud-mouthed idiot lecturing with his fake outrage.
So how was Geary Danley involved? Wasn’t he the accomplice’s ex-wife?
And who said she wasn’t involved? Was the it the police OR was it the MSM SAID the police said it?
They don’t even know who wrote it.

And we’ll probably NEVER be told the truth anyhow:
To do what is right for some else, even though you know it may not go well for you, that is the character trait we are missing in the Air Force today.
I believe integrity has gone to the waste side at USAFA

Making people feel vaguely guilty about stupid fake crimes is not going to build character, or keep anyone calm under fire. Assuming someone wrote it, they were expressing a thought. So if you find who it is and punish him, they’ll still harbor the same thoughts, just they won’t express them.
>>find who it is and punish him
They don’t do that anymore.
Read SSGT Enos’ account of Operation Gridiron.
Or like the abusive WIFE, who after hitting her husband screams at him “you MADE me hit you!!”....
... it happens to men too ... the above direct quote was as close as the wife of an acquaintance could ever to saying “I’m sorry” after her periodic unpredictable and unprovoked violent episodes ...
... she was a violent, highly-functioning alcoholic with all the symptoms of borderline personality disorder ... he was a nice guy who knew that if he EVER defended himself HE would be the one arrested .. so he never did. Finally he wisened up and left her ..
There had to be. Perhaps even pre-execution active rehearsals. Moreover, as in Lee Harvey Oswald, does the participation require the decoy to be left incommunicado? Did Paddock die before, during, or after the shooting? I suppose now every occupant or employee will come under examination.
