Wiring of $140,000 to her the week before sounds pretty accomplice-y to me. I'm just saying they could probably find some sort of loophole or charge to get her arse at least back here. Obviously can't make her talk, but it would be a start.


Exactly. Dude, a shooting of 500 freaking people and you are damn right almost any country in the world would be extraditing her butt on terrorism charges to the USA in a heart beat if we wanted that.

Its definitely strange as hell she didn't return immediately. I really feel like the police know she is involved indirectly and they are allowing her to return on her own while she is monitored to see if she talks to anyone else.

In the off chance she was not involved, as a former accountant he would have known that his assets will be frozen and likely liquidated out of his estate in the future for the victims or whatever. So if he wanted to leave any money for anyone, he would have known to move the money first.

Or the CIA snatched her arse and has been questioning her in some unknown location.

Why would he shoot into a crowd of 22000+ people. Don't try to rationalize it.

No no no. Different issue. A cop is outside the door and he shoots at him through the door at ankle/shin height, not torso center mass.

Makes no sense.

To stay prone so as to not be killed by return fire through the door, I guess

You can be prone and still fire upward, or fire center mass then quickly move to the side of the door.

Shooting shin level will almost assure a wounding shot, which both will reveal his exact location and bring backup even faster than otherwise.

I'm sure he was thinking rationally while simultaneously gunning down a mass of people across the street and fending off the authorities outside of his room.

he started shooting around 10pm and swat breached the room at 11:58. He was dead by the time they got there. Not sure if he killed him self as they were readying to breach or not though.

I’m pretty sure that’s just an example of people (you) overanalyzing the shite out of something

Wouldn't shooting chest level or head level also reveal his location?

Probably not thinking exactly straight at that point. The shooting out the window was part of the plan, maybe he really hadnt even considered how to handle the seige, he blew his brains out moments later.

was it known prior to today that Paddock had filmed himself during the shooting?

Any chance in hell that video makes the light of day?

No shite it makes no sense. That's my point of him shooting into a crowd that large. You can't rationalize either behavior. Try to keep up or shut up.

I wonder what it was like when he first started shooting. How long it took for people to realize what was going on.

I saw 1 video where it wasn't til I think the 2nd round of fire and 2 minutes before people really really took it seriously.

In the 1 video after the 1st set of shots, 1 guy is explaining something mostly inaudible but at the end he explains that is how he knows the shots are coming from far away.

This one actually appears to have captured some muzzle flare on camera at the 2:09 mark or so.

I was near a shoot out once. Initial shoots fired and it took a few few seconds to stop and listen. It took even longer to say hey thats gun shots. Took even longer to say oh shite that is gun shots. Wasn't until the ricochet zings came by that I decide it was time to get the hell out.
