That's Captain John Stege, of the Chicago Police, probably in 1926, in the wake of the Hymie Weiss hit.

I see people wondering about how he got all the guns up to the room a lot, and I don’t understand that at all. Seems to me it would be really easy to get the guns up to the room.

Would not be hard. a few trips with a golf bag. But even easier through freight elevator.

Right. Bellmen are not TSA agents. Paddock could have brought the guns in over multiple days.

Was Campos the guy who made the big dramatic act of “standing” when Pres. Trump & Melania came into his hospital room? That appeared like an act to me. Something about being too too patriotic.

If there are three or two shifts monitoring cameras you bring the bags up at different hours.

I would also leave and return with the same bags (or with identical bags). Wheel them both ways so it's not obvious they are light going down.

Was Campos the guy...

I don't think so, but I really don't know. I haven't been playing that close attention to all the gory details.

No, that was a wounded concert goer.

He was seen back at the senior community center at his Mesquite house on the 27th. He signed in/checked in (is there a paper trail?) at the desk and went into the cafeteria around 11 am where they say he would get cheap subsidized meals. He didn’t eat but asked the cook how she made enchiladas and then left.

Perhaps he was driving back and forth to pick up more guns and ammo from the house. As you said, a couple of bags today, a couple more tomorrow and no one is the wiser.

He murdered four people in July 1973, including a young woman whom he kidnapped, and repeatedly raped before killing, and a high school-aged camper in the Adirondacks a few days later.

Two of the campers Garrow killed were Dan Porter and his girlfriend Susan Petz. Together with Pat Caddell and John Gorman, Porter was a co-founder of Cambridge Survey Research, a political polling outfit which had become famous for its involvement in the McGovern campaign. All three of them were Harvard students. Caddell is still famous.

I saw the video of the visit. He was the man who was shot in the leg. He insisted that he had to stand up when the President came to visit. He was “over” acting. Said, “I “have” to stand for “my” president. He was too cheerful, too smiley and over eager. I could be wrong, but I have pretty good radar for “phony” people or “con artists”.

I’d like to know whom Paddock voted for in the 2016 election season? Dem or Repub ? Who in the Primaries ? Who in the General ? It would be solid gold to know .....

He wasn't registered to vote.

No, it wasn’t Campos, it was a guy who was Shot at the Concert by the Murderous SOB.

As far as the rest of your Post, seriously?

Guess I could be wrong, but I thought he was the one who had the leg wound from the hotel.

at the FBI crime lab in Quantico, Virginia. So far, none of the devices point to a motive for the shooting rampage.

Not buying it, no sale.

That may have been some kinda setup I have no idea. But it may have been one of hundreds of people that got shot that day. I never saw the video either so it’s hard to have an opinion. It should be easy to find out if that was the security guard, though.

This is why many believe that the guy who was shot in the leg was in on it. Someone made it possible for him to get all that stuff up there without notice.

He didn’t have access to freight elevator because he gambled there.

I’ve done this at smaller properties (to sneak onto another floor) but never in Vegas. It is not difficult to access and the ESL staff just smiles and never questions me. Amazing with all the cameras at casino hotels that they don’t monitor the staff elevators.

p.s. I’d be pretty cheerful and happy if Melania walked into my hospital room. Or any room I was in for that matter. :)

From your link - "Funds will be used to provide relief and financial support for him while he gets back on his feet,"

You can bet the Mandalay is providing for his financial support in a big way. Especially if he's hired a lawyer. A maintenance worker came up to the 32nd floor. As the pair started talking, Paddock began firing through the door of his room, first with a single-fire gun and then with a rapid-fire rifle.

Now we have two guys in the tight hallway and only one bullet finds its mark.
