    Interesting points.

    Those points are ridiculous. I can answer all of them.

    #1) Dozens of concert-goers reported the presence of multiple shooters
    Echos and chaos could have many people not knowing where the sounds were coming from.

    #2) Who warned concert-goers they were *all going to die* a full 45 minutes before the shooting started?
    Probably the same idiots who stand on Bourbon street with their signs, or just a drugged up person. Purely coincidental.

    #3) The weapon you hear on videos was FULL AUTO, which is almost impossible to acquire through legal means
    Hopefully everyone on this site knows you can get a FA if you have the cash and the time to wait for a stamp. Plus the guns that were found had slidefire stocks.

    #4) Why were the exits blocked, trapping victims like rats in a maze?
    Probably to keep people from leaving and coming back in. They don't open all the exits until the show is over to let people contraflow out.

    #5) Why did the shooter have as many as 10 firearms in his room?
    In case he had a malfunction or it could be so he wouldn't have to reload he could grab another loaded gun.

    While I agree there is more to this story I don't think any of these points hold water.

    1 and 5 are the main ones I was focusing on. 23 guns seems a bit excessive for one person.

    How hard would it be to hammer out a highrise window of that size? Two of them. How many people reported falling glass before the shooting began? Maybe there is a big green space where the glass fell. Im surprised he just didn't shoot out the windows. Just another thing that doesn't make sense to me. I should be happy I can't wrap my head around this. Glad I can't understand the mind of a phychopath.

    I heard one of the talking heads who had supposedly spoken with hotel staff about the windows and why the shooter had hammers -- he said none of the windows "above ground level" could be opened.

    There are no pics I could find of the front of the building post shooting these are not focused on the top corner. So I can’t say for sure if there is a broken window anywhere else. That said, even if a window won’t open it can be removed and put back. (Don’t ask me how cuz I don’t know but I know it can be done)

    This is interesting, shooter had cameras in the hall to his room and in the hotel room. Wonder if he had any words before, during or after his cowardly act. Hopefully we'll know soon.

    I'm sure if it's an Anti-Trump speech, we won't hear anything about it.

    Press release from BATFE just released a statement stating it found 12 bump-fire stocks in the hotel room.

    It was a Hi-Rise commercial building, i.e. 2'x 8-10'x 1/2" thick glass, between 300-400 lbs a piece. Yeah they can be replaced. With a tripod, suspended scaffold, freight elevator, and 3 or 4 glaziers, LOL. These are not residential plate glass windows.

    Let me preface this by saying I do not believe any of this stuff. Just showing y'all some strange things I have seen online.

    Possibly Marilou or the lady at the concert that screamed that everyone is going to die. This is a lady at LAX 4 days before the shooting. Saying POW POW, 4 days, 4 days America.

    This is a receipt from the room service guy that waited on Paddock. Seems like food for 2?

    Suicide note...will this be released to the public?

    2nd interview with Paddock's brother

    Knows exactly what bump stocks are
    Later says he doesnt know what they are
    Talks about his brother using a tripod and three-oh-eight rounds
    is knowledgeable as hell about guns but pretends at times not to know anything about them
    says he has no guns, but then says he takes his kids to the gun range to shoot .22
    Says his brother is a millionaire using slots and gambling, bets 100k a night
    Says his brother considered gambling to be work though
    At 6:20 he really didn't like it when they asked what business he had with his brother. He said im not going to tell you, but its out there?
    At 14:50 his brother almost calls him a arms dealer
    Also listen to his statements at 8:10 about how Casinos comp Stephen when he wants to fly out of town.

    Paddock was a special agent buying or selling weapons to Isis. They caught on and set him up hoping the people would find out and blame fbi/cia... This is fast and furious 2.0.
