Regarding the windows - We’ve only seen pictures that are post-breach.

We don’t know how big those openings were at the time of the shooting.

Since the breach likely involved a concussive blast - it’s possible the windows weren’t as “open” at the time of the shooting - and breach blasted out the loose parts.

I never quite got the “used a hammer to break the windows” - why not just blast them? - unless he thought it was a safety glass he could shatter and then poke a hole through - leaving most of the window intact/hanging.

“FOX reports shooter was firing from deeper inside the room to counter visible flashes of fire. He added this had to cause teeth to shatter in nearby rooms.”

Okay, this brings up my question to a colleague at work the other day: why didn’t people in rooms nearby report all the mayhem coming from that room (machine gun fire)? I haven’t seen any reports of 911 audio. My co-worker said the rooms are sound proofed, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Is that true? Could they have been that unaware of hundreds of rounds going off a few doors down? Or above? Below?

One fellow they interviewed thought it was noise from the concert - he was trying to sleep. Not until the cops showed up at his door to evacuate him - did he know what was going on.

No muzzle flash in this live video from the concert area... also no one appears to be injured while “gunfire” is sounding (probably recorded sound effects pumped through the concert’s PA system).

Ignore commentary; this video is posted elsewhere on Youtube as indicated here.

No muzzle flash from Mandalay Bay. At all. Just sound effects. Also no gun smoke. Complete pysop.

You stated: “Also no gun smoke.”

I distintly recall the reports, to include from the police, that the smoke alarms in the room were set off by the smoke from the guns being fired. And that it was the fire alarms that enabled the police to locate the rooms he was shooting from.

some bits from this piece were interesting -

5 Oct: NYT: ‘I Was Just Going to Bed When the Shooting Started’
by John Branch
LAS VEGAS — Floyd Conrade, 50, a storage administrator for information technology from Emporia, Kan., checked into the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday night. He was in town for a four-day conference, and assigned to Room 31-134.
He, of course, had no idea what was being planned directly over his head...

Q: Could you tell it was right above you?
A: About the third time, it was really loud, right above me. My assumption is that was when he went over to the other window. That’s when I started hearing the actual echoes. Echoed from the reports off the outside of the building, I guess. It was much louder, much more intense. I could actually hear debris hit my window....

Q: How many bursts did you hear before the one that sounded right above you?
A: It was probably the third volley.

Q: How many more were there above you during the 10 minutes that he was shooting?
A: I know there was at least three, possibly four. There could have been more than that.

Q: So you believe he was alternating from one window to the next?
A: Yeah, yeah....

Q: Would you remember if it was mostly one or the other?
A: I would think so. Seemed like he was going back and forth.....

Most disgusting post I’ve seen on here yet.

You should have to apologize to the families of those killed.

Flash is relative to the ambient light surrounding the shooter. He was in a glass building with lots of ambient light from the concert and surrounding street and structure lighting. It's possible the ambient light level never got low enough to see it clearly.

The muzzle devices on his weapons may have also helped reduce this flash signature even further. Additionally, the type of ammo, air flow up or along the building face (extinguishing or carrying burning propellant away quickly), and viewing distance from the shooter also reduced his visibility.

Another factor that may be more of a weak theory (I haven't developed it much further than a cursory thought) is the cameras used by witnesses typically only capture a few frames per second (25-30fps) and this may have a significant effect on video/audio, as far as an accurate recording of what viewers may have actually witnessed with the naked eye/ear.

He was firing flashless rounds.

first of all, you’re looking at a 240p video and getting bugeyed.

Pull this one up, but before you start it, click settings, 1080p, and set your speed to 0.25. Now, this guy is going to slow things down on his film. The clip will repeat slowed down, and again, slower still, so with added slowing you’re going to see it.

Intersect the bottom diagonal line of the reflected mandalay sign with the corner of the building. That’s the imaginary line you want to trace for your shooter. Below the suite area are two dots, just above the palm trees (two windows one above the other)- you’ll see them being temporarily hidden by smoke. The shooter is one or two dot’s worth above those two dots, if that makes sense. Watch real close the first 8 seconds and you’ll see both windows light up, one after the other. Later on, you might see both windows light up at what appears to be the same time, or not (I can’t get it slow enough on my cow of a computer to really tell).

Did I say that the DeepState didn’t actually kill people with their false flag events?

No.

Most disgusting posts on FR are people that try to shut down normal discourse and discussion of these obviously staged events.

Would you have tried to silence Pearl Harbor vets in the 50’s and 60’s from speculating about how FDR may have allowed Pearl to happen? Or that Eisenhower may have had cause to murder Patton in that very strange series of events that killed him that long ago solstice day in ‘45? Are you trying to shut down normal discussion and speculation or are you just trolling for Deepstate?

Now get on your knees before the one and true living God and ask Him why He told His disciples to “beware deception” in the latter days of increasing evil.

“you distinctly recall the reports”...

from the MSM?

How about the video I posted?

Anyway, we know nothing from what has been reported by the MSM. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Zero. It’s a media narrative to help get rid of guns and continue to brainwash us and blind us as to what the NWO elites are up to.

Again, look how FReepers figured out within 24 hours that the “alt right” perps at Charlottesville were CNN and StateDept. employees... it was all a false flag.

That’s why no one should answer the Craigslist ads for emergency drills.

Apparently there was an emergency drill at the Vegas concert site right before this happened.

Now I know you’re a nutcase...

Horace “Woody” Woodring, Patton’s driver, was my cousin. I attended his funeral in ‘03. He was driving Patton’s car when the accident happened. He always maintained it was just an accident and anything claiming else wise, or anything saying he said otherwise, was pure fabrication and lies.

I’d believe him over anything you can claim. You seem to believe anything that comes down the pike as long as it furthers your agenda. That’s called confirmation bias in case you aren’t aware of it.

So would your “cousin” have shut down speculation about Patton’s death because of how slow he was driving the car?

LOL. Hard to believe of all of the random people on the internet I happened to randomly bring up one weird historical issue, you happen to be related to Patton’s driver.

I’ll let that ride, because the more you show your hand here, the better.

Please stop trying to shut down normal discussion and research into these DeepState events. You do know FReepers figured out the Charlottesville “alt right” perps were Obama’s Occupy false flaggers and State Dept employees?

Or are you related to one of those paid crisis actors at Charlottesville, too?

Believe what you want, you’re going to anyway. Logic is a total stranger to you.

I could show you my family tree, it is online, but I don’t want you anywhere near it. I have grave doubts as to your sanity.

Find one post of mine that says there wasn’t others involved with this incident. I’ve kept an open mind and haven’t made that conclusion yet. I just hate the red herrings and outright misrepresentation of evidence that people like you spread.

You, on the other hand, have your mind made up and evidence be damned, that’s how it’s going to be.

Wallow in your paranoia. I feel very confident that I’ve shown more logical thinking and open mindedness than you ever have or ever will.

That you devolved into personal attack on the character of a stranger, against FR rules BTW, tells me all I need to know.

Please refrain from personal abuse when actual conservatives and Christians want to engage in normal discourse and even (heaven forbid!) skeptical speculation about Big State or Big Government motives and corruption.

I wasn’t one of the FReepers who identified the fake Charlottesville “alt right” perps, but did you try to shame and ridicule them, too?

LOL. Thanks for the info about Patton’s driver. I’ll do some special research into that when the time comes; I obviously hit a sore spot in the historical narrative there.

If “skeptical speculation” was what you were doing then it would be different.

You post things as facts that either are logically impossible or completely bogus.

You also instantly label someone that disagrees with you as not being true conservatives or “deep state” trolls. That is as personal an attack as anything I’ve done.

So, go hide behind an admins skirts and keep spreading your manure. It only reflects on yourself.

I have no answer for the 32nd floor rooms, whether they were occupied or cleared. Some reports indicated they were cleared.

I did hear a telephone interview from a very shaky young man stuck in a room alone, located directly above shooter’s room. His voice was trembling. He said the rounds were loud and he was told not to leave his room.

Can’t answer anything about Charlottesville’s Deep State crisis actors, which were discovered right here on FR, can you?

If Charlottesville was faked, anything can be faked.

Do these facts upset you, too?
