...makes sense more than anything else I’ve come across, but what about the girl at the venue interviewed as saying that a man and a woman were screaming “you all are gonna die” before the shooting started??? Of course the video is no longer easily accessible on the net. https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/10/las-vegas-hispanic-woman-told-crowd-youre-all-going-to-die-before-attack-started

We don’t know from the official story, that much is for sure.

This Charles Walton video, just after the 16 minute and 19 minute marks where it divides the screen into two pictures of Paddock’s room, pause the video there and look at the picture on the right and how part of the gun is over the Boston 25 news logo and how part of the gun is underneath the Boston 25 news logo.

That shouldn’t appear like that. I believe the gun should be either over or under the Boston 25 news logo, not both. I believe that this shows the pictures we have been supplied of Paddock’s room to be possible fakes.

19:48 mark of video of one pauses it there and looks at the picture of Paddock’s room on the right that we have been shown one can see that the Boston 25 news logo goes both over and under the gun. It should only be overrun debit, not both. So it looks like the picture of Paddock’s room that we are being shown here is fake.

Who is “he”?

Stephen Paddock.

There is no evidence of any other shooter.

People have woven all kinds of conspiracy theories from pictures and audio tapes. There is no evidence that is not easily explained by one shooter, Stephen Paddock, doing the shooting.

Lots of noise and confusion during the mass murder. Lots of self serving restrictions on information release to protect the casino owners from lawsuits, afterward.

No evidence of any more shooters. Conjecture, sure, evidence, no.

I’ll skip my usual sarcasm and just put it out there for people to understand. What doesn’t make sense is a guy buying 23 guns, outfitting them with scopes, sighting them all in, transporting them secretly up to a hotel room past security, when he could have more easily and less costly purchased four guns and a LOT of magazines and bullets. Anyone that’s packed for a hunting trip knows that moving that many long arms is a pain in the butt and would have a good chance of being caught by hotel security, even if you hollow out a golf bag to move 3 at a time.

Something doesn’t make sense, and post #10 adds up better than what we’re told.

Makes perfect sense if you want to kill a lot of people.

It is easy to move that many long guns if you plan for it, have money, and are willing to tip a bell hop.

Las Vegas is a convention town. Bringing lots of big cases up to an expensive suite is not unusual or a big deal. Tip the bell hop a $50 or $100, as was common for Paddock, we are told. Las Vegas has several big gun shows and the biggest of all, the Shot Show, every year.

Bell hops are not in the habit of opening locked cases to look inside of them. The AR type rifles Paddock used can easily be broken down to fit in a simple trunk, scope attached.

He also brought dozens of 60 and 100 round magazines, and left 4,000 rounds of ammunition unfired in the suite.

He fired about 1,100 rounds of ammo.

Las Vegas Sheriff Says Shooter Stephen Paddock "Had To Have Some Help At Some Point"

The Sheriff made a lot of foolish statements. He was obviously in over his head.

Had to have help to do what? You never heard of bell boys?

The Sheriff is obviously flustered. He obviously thinks Paddock may have talked to someone else, such as his girlfriend. So what? All it means is the Sheriff was flustered and in over his head.

22,000 hours of video secured; FBI won’t release reports til 10/2018
500 worldwide investigative leads;
500 grand jury subpoenas issued.

Of all the "conspiracy" video's this one bugs me the most:
This looks like weapons fire 15 minutes before the attack.

I looked at it. A couple of flashes of light in the place shown in the video. Completely normal. Lots of lights and lazers in Las Vegas.

But the kicker is... no hole in the window afterward!!

So how is is a “shotgun blasts out window?”

It is not. It is a lot of nothing based on a couple of reflections of light off or through a window that is never broken.

how can you tell? it would be a tiny hole in a fuzzy video half a mile away. At least try to think out side the box.

The guy that made the video called it a shot gun blast. I don't make conclusions like that.

It wasn't a reflection. the "light" came from inside the building that seems obvious. Should I explain?

Lots of lights inside of buildings as well! Flashes on cameras, lasers, so many innocent explanations.

To make a big deal of this is bizarre.

Why make something so simple into something needing explanation?
