The author seems to be ignorant of the report linked below, in which an escort paints a disturbing picture of Paddock's "violent rape fantasies." Paddock bragged about being "born bad." The escort described Paddock as obsessive, paranoid, and a 9/11 truther. "[W]hen he would have a winning streak, we would go back and have really aggressive and violent sex."
Couple this with the psychotropic drugs, which he'd been on since 2013, and you get a slightly different idea of who Paddock was.
By psychotropic drugs, do you mean the benzo? Or something else? If it's the former, there's zero chance that's the cause.

That was a good article.
I think he did the shouting himself but had help in the planning.
The only two bits of information that we have to this point is the announcement of ISIS that Las Vegas was a target:
http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/calls-for-attacks-against-las-vegas-emerge-on-isis-propaganda-video/719081124
...and the claim after the fact that he did this for ISIS:

If you set aside the most simple explanation - I converted to Islam and did it for Allah - aside, the explanations get either more ridiculous (a guy with no documented history of mental illness suddenly snapped and carried out a plot requiring immense amounts of forethought) or more complicated (he was an arms dealer, was part of a fast-and-furious style plot to entrap ISIS, the deal went bad, and he was killed by terrorists who did the actual shooting).

Paying off a hooker would be a huge risk and liability. Not an easy fix. Unless you're going to later wack her to keep her quiet, but what would stop her from running to another outlet for more money before then?applemac_g4 said:Perhaps.

I had a buddy who ran facilities and maintenance for one of the huge Indian casinos in CT years ago. After he left he told me how shocked he was at the casino's policies towards the death of a guest. Every once in a while someone would commit suicide or OD in their room. The casino's policy was pretty much 99% centered around preventing any other guests from being discomforted unless the guest was still alive and/or their were survivors. I remember him describing it as "heartless". Obviously things are different on Tribal land since the police and casino are on the same team but I would imagine casino security in Vegas maintains a lot of power over their fiefdom too.drcrinum said:It called CYA....avoiding legal suites for not calling 911 immediately and notifying the authorities.zmurda said:manually created after the fact....right....b/c Vegas hotel casinos aren't incredibly organized....drcrinum said:

Just more garbage...
Well for one, the muzzle would be pointed in a different direction (towards the interior door and hallway) than at the crowd which is where the video was taken. Second, the window may not have been broken yet, which would also attenuate the sound as heard from 400 yards away.Johnny2Fan said:
Here's a question. If 200 rounds were shot at Campos before he shot at the crowd, then why is it not picked up on those videos playing a whole 5 minutes before we hear the first shots fired on the crowd? Are you telling me that 200 rounds can't be heard when shot at the guard but no problem being heard when shot at the crowd when both were shot from same range? Also now that the hotel has come out and said just 40 seconds between shots at the guard and crowd, you can hear that in a few videos and that does add up as true. But they were single shotsx2 about ten seconds apart and then 40 seconds later shots were fired on the crowd. Wow......
The author of this article is really stretching with this one way into Alex Jone's turf. If he is going to peddle a conspiracy like this at least he should have done it when Obama was President. So Trump, Sessions and his hand picked FBI guy are going to pull this off to erode support for the second amendment? Or is this a double top secret cell of Obama holdovers that pulled this off?Quote:
Or, perhaps he never pulled a single trigger and somehow ended up shot through the head in a room full of guns overlooking Las Vegas Blvd. and dozens of dead concertgoers.
The most disturbing aspect of this event and the mainstream narrative, though, is what it insinuates.
It insinuates that anyone no matter how seemingly normal could one day simply "snap" and murder crowds of people with impunity.
It is the anti-Second Amendment narrative personified, because if "anyone" is capable of such horror, and motive is nonexistent, then the mere existence of firearm access means that we are surrounded by millions of latent mass shooters.
That is to say, we are supposed to fear everyone around us at all times.

Sorry but is anybody really buying the that ISIS was behind this? Seems a little out of place and forced by the MSM.
Are we all agreenace that there were 2 gunman? If that is the case, how could one not really start exploring the conspiracies that are floating out there. I think the gov't floats some wild ass conspiracy to undermine some conspiracy theories that have a lot of truth to it.
And how the F does a casino not have CCTV of every square inch of its facilty) excluding the room? I watch the ID Channel and podunk motels have CCTV of the main hallways. That channel takes at least an hour of sleep time from me every night.
I heard that the housekeeping team for floor 32 was told to stay home that day- anyone heard that?
Roy coy said:
What a ridiculous statement. You are such a good little sheep.
Please give me all the factual information on why you think ISIS is behind this.
It may very well be ISIS but this doesn't have any traits of an ISIS attack to me. MSM has kind of stopped with the ISIS angle.. for now.
What are some red flags to me are-- inaccuracies of events and timeline. Why the inaccuracies on such things that are so blatant Barney Fife would of caught? Showing picture of body immediately after- seems odd to me. Would they want to keep that in house while they continue to investigate? Multiple shooters- I've seen enough and anybody with a brain knows there were multiple guns being fired.
I'm not sure what happen and am not spouting off some crazy conspiracy but I do have a brain and can think for myself.
Please enlighten us with concrete evidence on how ISIS is responsible.

Do they promo his radio show on FoxNews TV channel? I have been watching it pretty regular and have never seen a radio show promo on the TV channel but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.Gota De Limon said:Olag00 said:
