Reporting on Las Vegas, Pixel by Pixel
The Failing New York Times ^

Posted on 10/23/2017 8:41:54 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Nearly a month has passed since Stephen Paddock opened fire on a country music festival at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and wounding hundreds more — yet the shooting continues to confound the public and investigators alike. Little is known about Mr. Paddock’s motives. And investigators have revised parts of the timeline of the shooting on three occasions, raising further questions about what exactly happened.

During continuing investigations into major events, traditional reporting often relies in part on official statements from law enforcement officers. But in this case, faced with shifting reports, The New York Times wanted to try to establish a timeline independent of that offered by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

I don’t know what the real story is, but I do know we are not getting it.

From a poster named VeryHighEnergyCT on The Donald at Reddit...

We don't know why he did it, how he got the guns up there, why he was able to use the service elevator, why Jesus Campos went missing for 5 days, why he was only allowed on Ellen, the official timeline, how his car was out of the parking lot but his room was accessed using the room key, why there was a 6 minute gap, why some victims describe two shooters, why the woman who wrote a detailed account of there being two shooters randomly died, why the room next to Paddock (a room he didnt have proper access to) had a window broken out, why he recorded himself, what the piece of paper on the table next to his body said, why he setup cameras recording the halls, why he wired all the money to the Philippines, why he chose that location although it wasnt optimal,...

What an irrational rant.

Doesn’t pass the smell test.

Why, why, why. Most “why”s are never answered.

Most of these are simple common sense.

And counting the brass, it’s locations, and what gun(s) they came from.

Is there any brass from ‘missing’ guns?

This is a 6th grade counting and matching problem.

there is no conclusive evidence that Paddock was the shooter, only that he was found dead in the room. How do we know the security guard Jesus Campos didnt do it.

the entire event smells like a Fast and Furious sting operation that went wrong and the FBI or CIA is probably to blame

Then WHY don’t you answer one of the above or below.

1. Why was a fuzzy photo with eyes shut circulated of the accused for the first 48 hrs?

2. Why was the second photo circulated of the accused over 25 years old?

3. Why is there no video of the accused shared from within the casino, lobby, parking lot, or hallway?

If you believe it is a lone gunman.

Not so well done, IMO.

If I were to hazard a guess, a botched FBI arms sale sting where Paddock was an FBI operative who was killed in the meeting that was set up.

None of it makes sense because no explanation so far - and how many have their been - fits.

The MB Massacre has the same stench as Sandy Hoax. But this time could be a message to Trump by the Deep State, 'Better watch out Mr. Prez, look what WE can do and TOTALLY GET AWAY WITH IT.. HA. HA. HA.'

Isn't it weird that Stephen Paddock and Adam Lanza were practically GHOSTS that no one knew anything about and we've not seen any recent videos of either shortly before their (ALLEGED) rampages?

The Deep State really knows how to pick their fall guys.

“Why is there no video of the accused shared from within the casino, lobby, parking lot, or hallway?”

That is something that makes one go “hmmm?” Although once I did that - I’m guessing that the casino would like to distance themselves from him. Would bring up a lot of complaints on their lack of security “How can this guy just wander around playing poker slots one minute, and the next be up in his room shooting up the place!?”

BTW - we had three guns in our motel room over the weekend. I joked to my wife and kids “Hey, at least in our defense it’s a ground floor unit that looks out towards a brick wall!”

Now wait a minute, the New York Times just said at the link that Paddock is the shooter. The were quite certain about it, stating it right in the lead of the article.

Boy.. is that the TRUTH>

This major news story went away and was GONE faster than a toupee in a hurricane.

I think this could be a botched on purpose investigation.
