"Maybe the motive was the loud music from the concert."

This can ONLY be true IF HE WAS AN ARMS DEALER OPERATING OUT OF A HOTEL ROOM who suddenly snapped and exploited his occupation having a room full of high-powered firearms to execute the slaughter.

And what about the stuff in his vehicle?

You and me! We solved the case! That many guns, he HAD to be an arms dealer!

He had already complained about the loud music. Then the concert cranks up! Aldean was the last act. If he’d just waited a little longer he could have had a good night’s sleep.

Seriously, I’ve had neighbors playing music so loud I had to go to a motel. It was either that or SNAP and start blasting.

WOULD BE INTERESTING IF PADDOCK WAS MURDERED BEFORE THE SHOOTING BEGAN..

Interesting:

"The LVMPD knows the motive behind the attack, but the FBI will not allow us to release the motive because it implicates the FBI in illegal arms deals and supplying arms to ISIS terrorists within U.S. borders.

Stephen Paddock was an undercover FBI agent who participated in multiple illegal arms deals in the Las Vegas area in a gun running entrapment scheme similar to Fast and Furious. Paddock thought he was engaging in another routine arms transfer, but ISIS had learned about the entrapment scheme and Paddock’s true identity. They killed him and carried out the massacre, and then fled the scene.

Everything is being kept under extreme wraps because 1) armed ISIS terrorists are still at large and 2) this is very embarrassing to the FBI and they don’t want their scheme to become public knowledge.

I will be posting further information throughout the day, people within LVMP are disgusted and are pushing for this information to be released to the public.

The explosives in his vehicle?

I suppose as an 'arms dealer' to entrap terrorists it's possible he was dealing in explosives, too.

The only cog in the 'long wolf' theory is that this guy was a SLEEP-DEPRIVED DRUNK who gambled incessantly including 8 hour long stretches. Where did he find the time to METICULOUSLY PLAN this horror?

The unarmed and wounded security guard was outside the room. Why didn't he see them exit the room?

I have read that the stairwell may have been blocked. The shooter(s) would have had to use the elevator, making themselves visible to the security guard and others.

I'n not buying "other shooter(s)" from his room.

A lot of speculation being proclaimed facts and facts being proclaimed speculation in this thread.

Y’all are getting a little ridiculous.

Within just a couple of minutes of the start of shooting the police contacted Mandalay Ban and told them to shut down the elevators.

That would make the 'multiple shooters' theory unlikely, but the 'arms dealer' theory still holds water if Paddock himself exploited the opportunity of having high-powered rifles in his room.

Do arms dealers have tons of ammo to go along with the rifles they are selling? I would guess 'NO'. This would not be necessary.

Sooooo.. 'Lone shooter' most likely. BUT, ISIS-inspired or Antifa-inspired remains to be seen. In any case, he DID slaughter mostly white, mostly patriotic, mostly Trump supporters.

We don’t know if either a or b are true.

We only know that is what the FBI is allowing or instructing the Sheriff to say. Or LVMPD.

The most edifying thing anyone could do, given enough time, is to listen to the Police Band recordings from that night.

There is a near ZERO match with the official narrative.

“Confirmed two shooters. One on 29th floor and one the 32nd floor”

“Two men in dark hoodies escaping in black, duelly pickup”

“Escape vehicle headed north in southbound lanes at very high speed”

Those are some jewels I heard. At least one of which has since been deleted.

If he filmed himself shooting, this would be easy to disprove.

So the motive is he hates country music?

Product of the devil... < /sarc >

But, seriously, if I was sleep deprived and needed to rest, I doubt I'd be happy about a noisy street concert going on a block away. These venues never seem to account for the people who just really wanted a place to sleep.

Not that I think this was a motive. Nobody drags an arsenal like that around just so they can get some shuteye.

In addition, there’s a credible eye-witness at the Luxor Hotel (next door in the lobby or restaurant)) that testified to watching uniformed security guards in hot pursuit of a man dressed exactly the same as the security guards who was fleeing the scene at the Mandalay.

Very strange, indeed.

“If he didn’t like the music he should have knocked on the door and when the guy opened the door put a gun in his face and asked “Where’s the music coming from?” Then shot the source all to hell, turned to the guy and said “Let’s keep this between us ‘ cause I don’t wanta’ come back up here” and walked out.”

Good answer. Like the way you think. I’m gonna be watching you.

Those hotels have sound proof glass. Remember the airport is nearby.

The chip in his head must have been stuck on a country western station and it just drove him crazy against red necks.

Good point. Loud noises again. Must be that room on 31. The guard first went to 31.

“They killed him and carried out the massacre, and then fled the scene.”

And they cleverly tricked him into researching other venues and even booking hotel rooms at other sites.
