LV Shooter Didnt Act Alone–FBI States Multiple Leads Around The World–Paddock Planned Jet Fuel Blast
IWB ^ | Ruby Henley

More news is coming out this morning on Stephen Paddocks, and it is not as cut and dried as I thought. This is a very complex case, and it seems everyone is reporting different aspects of the worst mass shooting in the history of the United States.

Paddocks did not act alone. FBI reports there are many significant leads around the world with many flights taken by more than one person all over the world. Possibly, and this is just my opinion, many of Paddocks gambling trips could have been a cover for arms deals and terrorist connections. Was he gunrunner who sold guns to jihadists? The attack could have been worse. Paddocks targeted aviation tanks with the intention of blowing them up causing a massive fuel blast. http://content.jwplatform.com/previews/MyWNxdjC-np6v9i2TLas Vegas Strip mass murderer Stephen Paddock used his Mandalay Bay hotel room to fire bullets at jet fuel tanks Sunday night, a knowledgeable source told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The bullets left two holes in one of two circular white tanks. One of the bullets penetrated the tank, but did not cause a fire or explosion near the Route 91 Harvest country music festival, another knowledgeable source said late Wednesday. The tanks are roughly 1,100 feet from the concert site, where Paddock killed 58 people and wounded almost 500. Several airplane hangars belonging to prominent corporations are also near the tanks.

I’ll start looking.
I used to sell and install pumps, valves and flow meters for the gas and oil industry (among others). I was making a call to a fuel depot near Detroit and had a conversation with one of their engineers. I was thinking about the stupid hunter who shot up the Alaskan Pipeline a few years before, and he explained the requirements for the storage tanks.

Wow. That explains why ISIS produced the younger image. A Muslim convert of over 30 years. Making dubious stacks of cash. Buying dozens of guns. Scoping out numerous venues. And our FBI claims no connection to terrorism within a few hours. Time to fire the entire FBI staff and put some monkeys in FBI suits. They would be just as good and a bigger bang for the buck.

Don't try to argue logic here. FR has become a world of conspiracy theorists with no thought for logic.

You've noticed that too huh.. its pretty embarrassing... Sadly, every time I start believing the Left is the side that's full of whackjobs, a stroll through these parts reminds me that its not just them...

He didn’t fire hundreds of shots at the tanks- different window.

He fired hundreds of shots at the crowd...other direction.

The thought of the hotel security involvement occurred to me a while ago. Well put.

Typically with such tanks the vapor space is a nitrogen pad at a few inches water column pressure.

That’s what’s bothered me on the official story.

SWAT searches floor by floor for the shooter? This is after they’ve been told by the shot security guard exactly where the killer is located?

Didn’t make sense.

Until now.

Paddock was laundering a lot of money. Casinos ban people who win consistently. He was getting lots of freebies and tender care because he was a valued customer. Valued customers are not customers who cost the casinos a lot of money. He was a “gun nut.” That suggests guns were his business. He made his money with them.

Perhaps his accomplice was to place the tannerite and didn’t perform.

Who would the guard be working for ? The agency running the guns ? Antifa ? ISIS ? Will look for new thread.

You won’t see a thread. Opens for lawsuit.

Left nutcases or Muzzies. Flip a coin.

Every mass killer “acted alone” because the Moslems are still a protected population. If a civilian doesn’t discover irrefutable evidence that Paddock was a convert, as Arutz Sheva claims, then maybe it would have to be allowed. Until that point any Islamic connection will be totally avoided, except for the denials.

He probably had Valium 10 or more mg. Valium makes such things easier.

Most of us knew from the first report he didn’t act alone. Why are ordinary people so much smarter than our so-called superiors investigating and governing?

Ordinary people aren't trying to protect Moslems and maintain official narratives.

I'd believe intent to hit that tank if that had been high octane aviation gasoline maybe, but not jet fuel. Also, one or two hits is deflection or poor aim, not intent, as that is a large target.

There's the report of the 4th floor shooter (sliding windows on lower floors), where hitting those tanks might be just a small miss, or deflection from trees between hotel & target.

One problem. Who shot at police from behind door ? Did the first responding officers receive 200 rounds from door ?

Wasn’t it the security guard? He was shot in the leg.
