Been a few years, but I remember people checking into Vegas hotels with huge piles of luggage.

Usually tended to be families of at least a few.

I still believe he had a handler and/or help.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in hotels, I can imagine him bringing in enough parts to assemble a small car if he so chooses. It’s not that hard. Seriously.

However, don’t saunter in with armfuls of guns and ammo. It will create suspicion. Keep ‘em in an unmarked brown paper bag.

Or duffle bags, or suitcases, etc.

i.e. it’s not that hard.

What IS hard is to do it without “looking” suspicious in your demeanor. The guy must have been cold as a cucumber.

Golf bags and luggage carts.

If the Mandalay Bay hotel has windows that do not open, firing from the fourth or any other floor would leave a telltale show of broken windows. Other than the two broken on the 32nd floor, there have been no others reported.

I have one question.

What was the suspect’s motive?

Even if the suspect is a mental case, he’s still going to have a motive, whether falsely perceived or real.

#13 Apparently Paddock had earned millions of dollars “through real estate deals”. If he was so wealthy, why would he all of a sudden snap like that?

This is a nonsense question. Rich and crazy are not mutually exclusive.

one of those photos appears to show a suicide note. Why hasn’t the public been told what is in that note?

I can think of several reasons...there could be evidence leading to other individuals that may have involvement, and they're trying to protect their knowledge.

Another reason to keep the note private is that it might contain incendiary content that could incite further violence. Purely speculative, but this could be a call for a continued uprising or insurgency, a message to a known terrorist organization, or some other message.

Not every piece of information around such an investigation should necessarily be shared with the public.

So, the only real conspiracy theory left is how did he get all those long guns in when every square foot of Las Vegas is monitored by cameras and top notch security experts?

That is the million dollar question (no pun intended, given that it was a Vegas casino hotel). Is it possible to disassemble such guns and put them back together? I don't know anything about guns. But if it were possible, he could have put the parts in a backpack or regular luggage, then put them back together. ??

Ummm...

I don’t think you’re supposed to question the official story, regardless of how legitimate those questions may be. See, to point out flaws in the official narrative will get you branded by many here as a nut, tin foil hat, or ‘truther’.

Just sit back and drink the GOPe/MSM kool-aid like you’re told.

The possible "second shooter" is the one big item from the on-the-scene reports and evidence that I've seen. I know the alleged muzzle flashes from the fourth floor have been debunked (what you see in those videos is almost certainly a flashing strobe light -- probably from the fire alarm system inside the building), but one of those videos (from the woman in the car) contains very strong evidence of gunfire coming from two different locations ... one close to the car, and the other much further away.

I would not be surprised if there were first responders on the ground or a lower level rooftop of the hotel who were returning fire against the perp on the 32nd floor.

#2 I guess you are referring to the strobe light on the fifth floor.

An incomplete list with some off-the-wall items. I bet FReepers could come up with a much better, complete, and current list.

There was a music festival in town. So how about guitar cases?

"I just can’t figure out how he was able to assemble a virtual armory in his hotel room".

Its been reported that he stayed in the room 4 days...seems to have had plenty of time to do it.

[JenB987]

If the report is +/-20 long guns in the hotel room, it is nothing to carry that amount in 3-4 duffel bags. If he had some kind of extended residency, he could bring a bag a day and no one would notice.

This theory that I keep seeing on FR that it’s impossible to smuggle that many guns undetected is laughable.

[Ingtar]

I believe he took multiple trips with a golf bag.

[Alberta's Child]

Go to a Las Vegas hotel during a major trade show or convention. There are vendors wheeling around packed exhibits and cases of materials and products all over those hotels. Over the course of 3-4 days you could easily wheel plenty of carts into your room without attracting any attention at all.

You're welcome for the help.

People are saying “we don’t know...”. But we DO know a lot. If he had just been wanting to kill people he would have flown his plane into the crowd. If he wanted to kick off a race war he would have killed at a rap event. He sent a message. Some folks just don’t want that message to be heard.
