I watched the video. I know the shooter was targeting a large area, but at 500 yards, that would have been incredibly inaccurate. Like, WILDLY inaccurate.

It was a less than 2 acre site filled with 22,000 people standing shoulder to shoulder, accuracy was not something he needed to be concerned with.

Yeah, I'm with you. Was he shooting tracer rounds? How the hell could even tell if he hit anything or was even close to the crowd at that distance. Shooting rounds off that quick, at that range at night time, he did A LOT of damage.

Yeah, I shed a few tears watching Anderson's tribute to the fallen. Just fricking tragic. Can't imagine knowing one of the affected.

Y'all are probably way more correct here than I am. Just throwing that out there..

But..

There were people down in a relatively concentrated area. When I say wildly inaccurate, at that distance and angle, I can't help but imagine he'd send rounds literally a mile off target if he was using that modified gat crank.

That said, I don't know how sturdy the tripods or whatever were.

I completely agree with you. And from what I can see so far, logic will tell you that it was "wildly inaccurate". And this could've been much worse. We don't know the facts yet, but I've been following this all day, and common reports seem to say he fired about 600-1000 rounds over the course of 10-15 minutes and he only killed 58 people.

And in the videos the first three times he fires almost no one moves because they don't understand what's happening. Then once they figure it out, due to a combination of fear and confusion, huge groups of the 20,000 people there laid on the ground without much cover at all in full view of that window.

Had he been more accurate, especially in the beginning, he mightve killed hundreds of people instead of a little over 50.

But my point was that video definitely shows you that it's possible, if he was laying prone with a tripod on a platform, he could've unloaded a shitload of rounds very quickly without much kick and into the same general area. And if you look at the pictures of his view from the windows he didn't need to be that accurate.

Why would someone turn the floodlights on to illuminate the audience as it was under fire?

He hit over 500 people ....WTF

but I'm starting to think he was a fall guy for left wing agenda. It doesn't add up.
