Las Vegas Concert Mass Shooting

But videos questioning whether the shooting really happened and claiming that the government has lied about basic facts have already garnered millions of views on YouTube and are continuing to run rampant.

Interesting considering that most who are into the 'false flag' narrative would say that this is not something orchestrated by the current government, but the opposition who wishes to overthrow it.

Those conspiracists who think Trump's administration would not do such a thing are blaming it on the "Deep State", which would include the FBI and the Media.

Emerging from the conspiracy-theory fever swamps Monday to exploit the massacre in Las Vegas, Donald Trump’s favorite radio personality, Alex Jones, blamed Sunday night’s mass shooting on an unholy alliance of Muslims, Bolsheviks and “Deep-State Democrats”—with a cameo appearance by O.J. Simpson.

Well explained, @Mick West. The term "deep state" has been mentioned way more frequently now when Trump is US president. Never heard the term before Trump won the election.

Yes, there is another government concealed behind the one that is visible at either end of Pennsylvania Avenue, a hybrid entity of public and private institutions ruling the country according to consistent patterns in season and out, connected to, but only intermittently controlled by, the visible state whose leaders we choose. My analysis of this phenomenon is not an exposé of a secret, conspiratorial cabal; the state within a state is hiding mostly in plain sight, and its operators mainly act in the light of day. Nor can this other government be accurately termed an “establishment.” All complex societies have an establishment, a social network committed to its own enrichment and perpetuation. In terms of its scope, financial resources and sheer global reach, the American hybrid state, the Deep State, is in a class by itself. That said, it is neither omniscient nor invincible. The institution is not so much sinister (although it has highly sinister aspects) as it is relentlessly well entrenched. Far from being invincible, its failures, such as those in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, are routine enough that it is only the Deep State’s protectiveness towards its higher-ranking personnel that allows them to escape the consequences of their frequent ineptitude.

This was then taken up in 2016 by Breitbart, and others, to explain why Trump was having difficulty A) getting elected and then B) getting things done. However the meaning has shifted from Lofgren's "not an exposé of a secret, conspiratorial cabal; the state within a state is hiding mostly in plain sight, and its operators mainly act in the light of day", to something that more closely resembles exactly "a secret, conspiratorial cabal". It's an easy thing for conspiracists to latch onto and flavor with their own world view.

In this case we have Jones blaming "deep state Democrats", which is really just continuing the theme. However in the years after 9/11 the deep state was considered by most conspiracists to be right wing, Cheney and Bush - but with a "New World Order" globalism flavor.

The party in power just kind of flavors what people imagine the 'deep state' to be. I wonder though how the Vegas shooting would have been perceived if it happened in the Bush years? Probably still some kind of FEMA camp style "coming to take away out guns to user in the United Nations invasion" type thing.
 
it is official statements. Sheriff Lombardi. of course the next day they changed it to 23 firearms in the hotel.

add: "in excess of 10 suitcase" doesn't mean suitcases filled with bullets. THe question was how he got the weapons into the room.


https://www.youtube.com/user/LasVegasPolice/videos
On another site I saw a rundown of Nevada's firearms laws. I'm not familiar with every state, but theirs seemed far more permissive than any I was. Anyway, I'm guessing a hotel that can't really do anything about it until almost after shooting has started doesn't bother to check.

Also, being Vegas, having lots of bags isn't that unusual - there's always conventions in town (I know somebody who took five suitcases just for two days at the Star Trek Las Vegas convention a couple months ago), lots of long term visitors, especially wealthy retirees like this guy, and the problem gamblers who bring personal things to hock for emergency cash, the Pawn Stars crowd who think they'll hit it rich at one of the upscale pawn shops with all their "antiques" (also, coincidentally, often retirees). Having ten suitcases is probably unusual in the, "Huh, wonder which one he's going to," sense than the, "Damn, I bet he's up to something," sense.

Good point well made. Balancing that, though, not all bullets will have hit someone. Counting the gunshot sounds on the recordings would presumably tell.

Either way, though, even a single automatic weapon in his hands in that situation would class to me as a terrifying amount of firepower, but that may be coloured by me being British. It seems insane to make that sort of weapon so widely available.
They aren't, even in the reddest of the red states. They're not completely unavailable, but the special credentials you need to buy one legally are hard to come by and basically constitute an invitation for a variety of agencies to drop by and look at your stuff without warning.

Now, the guns he actually had were all widely available in their base, civilian model forms. Those forms are basically just like any other rifle, but dressed up in a cooler military looking package. They're semiautomatic, have reasonably sized magazines, nothing fancy like compensators or suppressors. Plenty of mass shootings have been accomplished with them, but nothing on this kind of scale. Had those weapons still been in the form he probably bought them in, you could probably drop a digit off of the casualty numbers.

However, a little loophole in US gun laws: Components and mod kits are almost 100% unregulated. The stuff you need isn't nearly as available as the basic guns themselves, but it's out there. Meaning once you have that impressive looking rifle that's only slightly more dangerous as a cheap hunting rifle, all it takes is a few trips to gun shows and a few YouTube how-tos and you can convert it into something totally else, the likes of which you would never, ever be able to actually purchase legally (hell, in some cases even illegally).

I would need 10 suitcases to stay in that room. I've seen those 'how clean is your hotel room' shows. I would need enough sheets to cover every surface, including the floor, that I can't wash with the gallon of bleach I brought.
 
Also, being Vegas, having lots of bags isn't that unusual - there's always conventions in town (I know somebody who took five suitcases just for two days at the Star Trek Las Vegas convention a couple months ago),

And it's not even that unusual to bring in large odd-shaped cases if you are going to a convention or you are part of a film crew.

However these guns do break down into shorter pieces (which you can re-assemble in literally seconds). There's many possible ways of getting the guns in there - but all basically just carrying them in.

A person matching the name Stephen Paddock reserved a room at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago in August during the Lollapalooza Music Festival...

That person never checked into the hotel...

It’s not immediately clear whether the individual is the same as Las Vegas gunman Stephen C. Paddock.

A spokesman for the Blackstone told ABC News in a statement today, "We can confirm that there was no guest under [Paddock's] name who stayed at our hotel in August during the Lollapalooza music festival. We are cooperating with the authorities on this matter."

There are high capacity drum magazines. But I didn't realize there are practical 100 round box magazines for .223 caliber rifles.

I think I've found the exact make and model Paddock was using.

The police will report the types of guns used in due course, I don't think there's much to gain from speculating. We know that guns can be broken down, we know that you can take large cases into hotels. The precise gun model is not that relevant - unless there's some false claim out there that needs debunking with that information.
 
In the upper right of this photo is something that's apparently being grabbed onto. I can't yet point to any specific site or video. This is just an informal post from someone on another [forum]:

One of the pictures has what looks like a pen and paper (like hotel stationary) on the desk by him. The conspiracy theorists out there think its his manifesto/suicide note and the FBI are hiding cause it reveals the Pizzagate Lizard People cult. That was right before the picture of the shooter's head with bullet hole in it, so I decided that was enough Internet for me.

An entirely different theory: Paddock left a note on the Strip (Las Vegas Blvd.) near the Mandalay Bay Hotel, that was later found. (Apparently two sides of the same 3x5 card.)






Paddock has consistently been described as not religious. I live in Las Vegas, (the Mandalay Bay is about 4 miles down the road from my home, btw), and I can say from personal experience that it's not at all unusual to see people on the Strip proselytizing. There's nothing at all surprising or unusual about this note on the light post.




But at least one YT video author is confusing the two issues and identifying one of these notes as the note left in the room.

Its been addressed by the authorities. Not the answer anyone is looking for no doubt.

• Investigators on Wednesday confirmed that the gunman had left a note inside his suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. “It was not a suicide note — I’m comfortable saying that,” Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said.

The term might have originated in 2014, but the concept has probably been out there for much longer, there are two computer games (1993's Shadow President and it's sequel CyberJudas, released 1996) which worked on the idea that the player was the 'power behind the president', manipulating the levers of power.
 
An entirely different theory: Paddock left a note on the Strip (Las Vegas Blvd.) near the Mandalay Bay Hotel, that was later found. (Apparently two sides of the same 3x5 card.)
Looks like different handwriting on each of the notes, and not the same kind of card either. Though I didn't see anything in the video saying it was two sides of the same card.

Also, the facebook group where I believe these were first posted - a self-described "hate group" - has now taken them down.

It's interesting that the police have been quoted as saying they believed he had help - which is probably what conspiracy theorists believe too (they do seem to have a hard time accepting 'lone shooters'.)
At a news conference Wednesday night, Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said that Paddock must have had some help.

“He had to have some help at some point,” Lombardo said.

“Maybe he’s a super-guy. … Maybe he’s super-yahoo, was working out all this on his own, but it would be hard for me to believe that.”

Personally, I don't see why anyone would 'need help' to do something like this: seems a pretty straightforward idea, really.
 
I mean... Yeah, he bought a bunch of guns, but over an extended amount of time in a state with very lax laws. He had at least some of them illegally modified, but the parts and mod kits can be bought off the internet or even from some gun stores and many gun shows since the parts themselves are not subject to any restrictions. The work can be done with some minor handyman skills by watching tutorials on YouTube or you can probably pay somebody at a gun show to do it for you. Ammunition is small and can be bought in bulk.

Everything else was just carrying things to a place, opening a window, and then a few minutes of spray-and-pray. Automatic fire with large magazines on a dense crowd from above is just about the perfect setup to inflict lots of casualties.


And to boot the guy was rich, and money is about the only reason just any person couldn't do this any day of the week, because all that hardware isn't cheap.

It’s not necessarily a missing accomplice or ‘help’ but whether anyone can pull such an act(acquiring the guns,ammunition,storing and moving them,scouting for targets...) without anybody’s knowledge
 
Don’t let Deirdre catch you; she believes Lombardo never said nor hinted at such a thing.
Lol. I was thinking as I posted it: "maybe I should quote the original source on this" for just that reason. ;)

But, anyway, here it is:



Of course, there's no confirmation that Paddock "had help" in there, as you originally asserted, and though it certainly appeared to be Lombardo's belief at this time, I guess it's a stretch to say it's the belief of the police as a whole, the FBI, etc.

Lombardo's hypothesis - though I do think he generally comes across really well in these press conferences - just sounds like an argument from incredulity to me.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/las-ve...note-hotel-room-details-of-bullet-trajectory/

A note found in the hotel room of the man who shot into a crowd from his perch in a Las Vegas high-rise included hand-written calculations about where he needed to aim to maximize his accuracy and kill as many people as possible.

"I could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was gonna be for the crowd," Newton said. "So he had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there."

The following claim was made by Dane Wiggington about 5 minutes into his Oct. 7th "Global Alert News" program (My CTist family member urged me to listen to this particular episode):

these Las Vegas high rises all have sensors that detect pressure and immediately identify the room number in which the window sensors have been activated
Content from External Source
I heard a similar claim earlier in the week by a talk radio show host. So I tried to look into this claim, and the best I could find is an article from a hotel management publication that suggests that such sensors exist but are not used by all hotels:

Wertheimer recommended smaller-level security measures for hotels, such as sensors that can tell when a window is broken to notify more than just maintenance. Security and possible the police should be informed of a broken window, as it could lead to violence or even suicide. As of this time, Wertheimer said he doesn't point any fingers at Mandalay Bay for failing to react to the shooting, rather he is concerned with the concert's failure to implement a good disaster plan.

Well, the plot around the timeline thickens. Earlier this week the police revised it to say that the security guard had been shot 6 minutes before Paddock started shooting the crowd - which certainly raised eyebrows - but now the Mandalay Hotel themselves are disputing this, saying:
...that the official police timeline is based on an erroneous initial report compiled by hotel staff.

"We are now confident that the time stated in this report is not accurate," a spokesperson for the hotel said in a statement.

"We know that shots were being fired at the festival lot at the same time as, or within 40 seconds after, the time Jesus Campos first reported that shots were fired over the radio."

"Metro officers were together with armed Mandalay Bay security officers in the building when Campos first reported that shots were fired over the radio," the statement continued, adding that the police and armed hotel security guards "immediately responded to the 32nd floor".

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41599529
Content from External Source
The article, which says this new information "raises fresh questions...about the gunman wasn't stopped", starts by talking about a maintenance man who was also on the 32nd floor at the time Campos was shot, and who immediately called his dispatchers.
According to CBS News, gunfire could be heard as Mr Schuck told a dispatcher on his radio: "Call the police, someone's firing a gun up here. Someone's firing a rifle on the 32nd floor down the hallway."
Content from External Source
 
man who was also on the 32nd floor at the time Campos was shot
actually he says
Worker Stephen Schuck says he was checking out a report of a jammed fire door on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay when he heard gunshots and a hotel security guard, who had been shot in the leg, peeked out from an alcove and told him to take cover. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/worker-warned-hotel-before-las-vegas-shooter-opened-fire-on-crowd/
Content from External Source
So based on the CBS article, Campos was already shot when the maintenance guy saw him. In the Tuesday press briefing, Lombardo had said the reason the original timeline was confused was because Campos was badly shaken at what was happening.
Probably best to let the police (vs. the hotel, the maintenance man or Campos) sort it out. I know with the SH shooting, when you read the official investigation report they interviewed all people (including first responders, ambulance, teachers, victims) multiple times over time- I imagine because memory in high stress situations can be faulty.
 
October 13th press briefing. Sheriff Lomabardo.

He covers various information.
  • update on victims (injuries now 546, 501 discharged as of 8am., currently still 58 deceased),
  • fuel tanks "believed fired upon with intent",
  • explains discrepancy of check in dates.. the 25th vs 28th (name change on registration),
  • autopsy.. his brain has been sent to appropriate facility for microscopic forensics.. the report of nothing abnormal in brain was a visual inspection only.
  • then at 8 mins he explains the TIMELINE issue. And lists all the sources used to verify the timeline.
9:59 Campos runs into barricaded stairwell door and reports it. This has been verified with a human entry into a security log.
Campos then finds another way up to the 32nd floor to check on the 'door ajar' alarm. He mitigates that issue and is "subsequently received fire from the suspect".

Mr. Campos received his wound in close proximity to the 22:05 time (when outside shooting began). He relayed his being fired upon via his radio and also via his cellphone. Bothe sources have been verified.

22:17 Officers first arrive on the 32nd floor. At that time [all sounds of] firing had ceased.

sadly multiple shooter claims are thriving with CT sites eg Natural news et al claims an audio analysis reveals 2 sources of gun fire.. My 1st look listen at this tells me they are hearing the rifle burst and then the bullets sonic crack & echo & not the ricochet or bullet impact to concrete, as you would not hear this over the other back ground noise..
Perhaps another thread is needed but Id rather not link NN health ranger youtube as prefer not to give his sites the click and i not link the liveleak on site vids as they're pretty awful.. Much of the claims rests on the audio last bang then crack this is not 2 guns but the same one giving muzzle blast then bullet sonic crack & echo.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — All 58 victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting died of gunshot wounds, a coroner said Thursday, revealing that no one was trampled to death trying to escape from an outdoor concert that turned into a massacre.

The deaths in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history were all ruled homicides, Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg told The Associated Press

X. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS FROM THE 1 OCTOBER INVESTIGATION

Investigators determined key findings as a result of this investigation:

 Paddock acted alone. Thousands of hours of digital media were reviewed and after all
the interviews conducted, no evidence exists to indicate Paddock conspired with or acted
in collusion with anybody else. This includes video surveillance, recovered DNA and
analysis of cellular phones and computers belonging to Paddock.

 No suicide note or manifesto was found. Of all the evidence collected from rooms 32-135
and 32-134, there was no note or manifesto stating Paddock’s intentions. The only
handwritten documentation found in either room was the small note indicating
measurements and distances related to the use of rifles.

 There was no evidence of radicalization or ideology to support any theory that Paddock
supported or followed any hate groups or any domestic or foreign terrorist organizations.
Despite numerous interviews with Paddock’s family, acquaintances and gambling
contacts, investigators could not link Paddock to any specific ideology.

 Paddock committed no crimes leading up to the October 1st mass shooting. All the
weapons he purchased to include all the ammunition, were purchased legally. This
includes all the purchases Paddock made at gun stores as well as online purchases.
Paddock did not commit a crime until he fired the first round into the crowd at the Las
Vegas Village.

 Reference the 1,965 investigated leads, 21,560 hours of video, 251,099 images obtained
and 746 legal notices filed or sent, nothing was found to indicate motive on the part of
Paddock or that he acted with anyone else.

 Security Officer Campos was not shot with a BB gun but rather sustained a gunshot
wound from one of the rounds fired by Paddock down the hallway of the 100 wing on the
32nd floor. Security Officer Campos did in fact have a pre-planned vacation to Mexico to
go visit his father and Security Officer Campos asked law enforcement for permission to
make this trip

 Paddock acted alone.

This week, Las Vegas Metro said that they are continuing to investigate and will possibly bring criminal charges related to the shooting.

From this article from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "Criminal charges possible in Las Vegas shooting, lawyers say"

Metropolitan Police Department lawyers said Tuesday that criminal charges related to the Oct. 1 massacre may be coming in the next 60 days.

“There are charges being investigated,” Metro attorney Nicholas Crosby said during a court hearing in Las Vegas.

Obviously, it may be possible the charges would be related to the investigation and not the shooting itself. Still, it's another mixed message from LV Metro.
 
Still, it's another mixed message from LV Metro.
what mixed message?

Investigators scanning computers belonging to Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock found “numerous” child pornography photos, the city’s sheriff revealed Friday, adding that the FBI is looking into a person of interest in the case. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/01/1...bi-investigating-person-interest-sheriff.html
Content from External Source
although what Lombardo says specifically @2:30 in the Fox link is
2:30 "as to any other people, the FBI has an ongoing case against an individual of federal interest", the statement is not directly linked to his discussing discovery of child pornography on Paddock's computer.

So, this doesn't necessarily mean in the child pornography ..although it very well might. (and hopefully does).

In the Sandy Hook investigation, the gun store (who legally sold the guns to the shooter's mother) faced criminal charges that were discovered in the course of investigating the shooting.

add: or it could be something like illegal money transfer discovered. Note he said "of FEDERAL INTEREST".

So basically, it could be anything at this point.
