And a flock of pigs just flew by my window.
This could be a still waters run deep type of situation. Normally placid people go nuts because of the head of pressure that's built up over time. Notice that his girlfriend was out of town. She may have been about to leave him. Or he might simply have been up to his eyeballs in gambling debt.
Has a hunting license...not the same thing.
The guy was a hunter and degenerate gambler, so it's not like these would be out of the ordinary expenses for him. Given that he did $100 a hand poker, it's not impossible that the hotel comped him the room. A gambler is the definition of impulsive, compulsive behavior. The main thing you need to inflict lots of casualties is high ground and a target-rich environment. The 32nd floor is pretty high and an outdoor concert just about fits the bill for target-rich.
Not sure about that, especially on a Sunday-Thursday night.Hotels are rarely fully booked anymore, even during the major conferences like CES. Maybe this concert and its proximity filled Mandalay Bay, but I wouldn't assume it.
Also, the claims are this guy is some sort of professional gambler or wannabe high roller. Casinos will -always- hold rooms open for known gamblers.
If he’s playing $100 a hand poker, they would happily comp his room.
Look at the planning, the timing, the training a guy would need, all the money he spent and the firepower he had. The machine gun is a big clue. Those are difficult to acquire.
No "snapping" snaps like this. Then reports by neighbors that he was gone for six months recently. Asian girlfriend, or friend.
well... I was trying to differentiate between someone with a motive and someone just crazy that want’s to just kill a bunch of random people.
Vegas’ occupancy rate is still down about 4 percent from the pre-2008 Recession days, despite the fact that no new hotels have opened on the Strip and the Rivera has closed.
The idea that it would be impossible for a known gambler to get a that room is silly.
Yeh I thought it was an AK because of the clacking sound but maybe it was just the echo’s around the buildings. He had to be using at least 2 weapons. Mr. GG2 says it sounds on the video like he’s maybe shooting 2 weapons at the same time. Fox is reporting that the authorities found several full auto AR’s in the room. It will be interesting to see what those weapons look like.
The more this unfolds the crazier it sounds. Now the guy’s father was on the FBI most wanted list for bank robbery. I wonder if we will ever know the time of death of this guy?
You don't have to be "rich"..( whatever that actually means to you...) to hunt in Alaska.
I thought the woman was from Oz?
big game hunts can cost 10’s of thousands of dollars. Plus his brother said he was rich, owned 2 planes, ect.
They would not comp him a corner suite on the 32nd floor on a weekend in September/October unless he was a high roller gambling Millions of dollars (yes, we have those here). $100 a hand poker does not get you that suite on a heavy weekend.
Why would you think that?
If you recall, the communication between the 9/11 Terrorists , their primary code word was “Porsche 911
Never heard of this either?
You haven’t been around here much lately. The Strip is jammed with thousands upon thousands of foreigners from Europe and Asia. Impossible to be suddenly comp-ed a suite that was already booked in advance. No, but you are throwing down seven figures in the casino to get that suite on a weekend this time of year.
He booked it Thursday through Sunday on a heavy fall weekend. The Strip was packed this week, as it will be (or would have been) for the next five weeks, and unless this guy was into the casino for seven figures, he wasn’t bumping that prime suite this weekend...unless he booked it well in advance.
Ditto that..........
A suspicious car was seen at the parking area of the place where the girls were murdered that was described as a late model Challenger................
