We entered an age when corporations and political entities can manipulate citizens to commit acts like Las Vegas.


I can only speak for myself and can tell you I could not be manipulated into an act like Vegas. Are you saying you could?

Assuming he could get out and then to the airport - he was a pilot. But I have my doubts that he really thought he could do it.

it is fodder for investigation of the FACTS of a possible criminal conspiracy, not for beating down the folks who would like to assemble facts and think for themselves

Got news today suggested the guard was part of the plot.

He had a secret digital profile that was uncovered over the last 24 hrs.

Link please.

I have a couple of problems with that theory, which as I understand it is that the guard offed Paddock, shot himself to appear a victim and then greeted police at the elevators.

First problem is that I gather the guard was actually on another floor beforehand talking to people who pointed him up to where the sound of the shooting had been coming from. Seems not to fit.

Second, I don't think Paddock would have allowed the accomplice to put a revolver in Paddock's mouth, he would have resisted and the accomplice would have had to shoot him differently.

The sheriff has been on his trail for about 4 years...

BS! Stop with your lies, TROLL. That's not what he said.

...as you would know if you were paying attention to legitimate news sources...

The sheriff's press conferences were not legitimate news sources? Keep on trolling moron!

What size magazine do you think the shooter was using in that volley of bullets???

I am no expert on the latest tech but the magazines I saw in the pictures that have shown up, appeared to be double stack type. I saw no drum magazines. Had he been real serious with the equipment that they claim he had he could have fired several thousand rounds, but didn't.

Hey, it appears that a 30 round magazine will empty in approx. 2 seconds while a 50 round magazine takes about 3 seconds...

The bump fire rigs are good for about half the speed of a full auto.

The sheriff is not doing any investigating himself.

And what's your point ape? Which one of them fed him this medical information, less than a few hours after they found him? If you have a verifiable source, then share it, otherwise it's pure nonsense.

His target was the secret government planes and fuel tanks. When they didn’t explode he turned on the easy targets at the concert.

I will play along because I agree (fuel tanks), adding I believe somebody else was supposed to park the car close to the tanks and THEY intended to set them off first, pushing the crowd right at him... Mow them down in much larger numbers and escape in the ensuing confusion. I think its the reason nobody ran when shots started, he was not shooting at them yet. His accomplice left him hanging and it became a suicide mission...

Did I misunderstand the news reports and sheriff’s comments about suspecting one or more helped this lunatic Paddock?
Hasn’t ISIS taken credit ...again?

I mean, when we know what we now about the FBI it’s hard not to question their integrity and truthfulness.

They are definitely operating under the possibility of more than Paddock being involved. I’m not sure they know for sure but they want to treat this collection of evidence and chain of custody with proper procedures IN CASE there is another person or people. Makes sense, but at this point doesn’t mean there is another or others.

Why does he/she claim the work for LVPD? It’s LVMPD and that’s how anyone who really worked for them would refer to them not LVPD.

As another FReeper said - crazy doesn’t need a motive it just needs a purpose.
