I am questioning the costs. Don’t care what Paddock thought of them.
That's what I thought initially, but it's a window. Shouldn't be too hard to be able to determine that before breaking it, no?
Many accounts from law enforcement and those in the crowd, say that he first opened fire near the stage causing panicked attendees to run away towards the exit. He then shifted fire to the 2nd window at a different angle and shot at those near the exit. One gunman, two angles.
I don't think there was a second gunman at all, and it makes sense that he may have fired from both positions.
It's the two angles that I'm somewhat questioning. From that high up and that far away, moving the nozzle 6 inches to your left from either position would probably be enough to focus fire from the front of the crowd to the rear.
No pork on that receipt.
The point is that before leaping into second shooters scenario’s that can avoid detection from cameras in the casino, who leave no forensic evidence behind and a conspiracy by local police and hotel employees to hide the evidence of two shooters that there may be reasons more simply explained.
A possible second theory that I have is air flow. With two windows open he could reduce the smoke in the room.
There are any number of simple reasons that avoid the necessity of two shooters.
Yeah, I get comped in Vegas and order even a meal for 5 when I win (then I lose LOL), all on the house. Could be nothing, could be something. I spoke to one gambler and he orders 2...in case he calls an escort.
Definalty on the casino floor and elevators and elevator lobby. Probably not every square foot of hotel hallway though.
First thing I noticed. No alcohol either.
And all was presumably halal.
So... I wonder if Antonio the server has been interviewed...
A good theory. However, if that was the reason, it would make much more sense and be far more efficient to break another window, in the same room and not the room over where a wall (w or w/o a door) is in the way.
I don't believe there were two shooters. If investigators had any reason to actually believe that, there would probably be a nationwide manhunt by now.
I'm only speculating that Paddock may have expected to have someone else there, but that person never followed through.
The smoke clearing idea makes sense, but these windows were broken in two separate rooms, with only one doorway separating them. If that were my reasoning, I would have broken a window on the opposite side of the same room, not along the same side of the building in a separate room.
I wonder about the tub.. was it wet from a recent bath or shower? Cleaning himself up before meeting the Prophet and all...
Why indeed! If it was about getting that other angle, why in the other room and not just to the left of that column in the lower portion of the diagram? There's two windows right there with the same view (from that distance).
In my world that $84 would be enough meals for 4 people having lunch out!
That isn’t a “large meal”. Why would he be allowed to check in under another name? Did they think he was a tranny?
Cameras cover almost every single square foot in a casino. Essentially everything but the guest rooms. These recordings will tell much more
to this story.
Were there broken windows other than the 32d floor?
That’s barely one meal for me and back in the days when I drank Pepsi I would polish off a liter of it every day.
