Correct, nothing new so far on motive.

I assume your post is meant to point out the misinformation I put out. For the AR platform a lightweight rifle is considered to be anything in the 6 pound range. I know this because I built a light weight. It weighs 6.5 pounds. If you search for average weights of AR-15's on google you will get answers on the high side of 7 pounds and 12 pounds fully loaded with scope.

He would have only been able to hit this with a 7.62/.308 rifle or larger due to the range and velocities needed to set off the Tannerite and light off the fuel tanks.
His car was parked 2000 yards away from his room. Sorry but the 5.56 round just doesn't have the legs to get there. If it does, it doesn't have the minimum velocity to set it off once it gets there. For instance you can't reliably set off Tannerite with a .22 round. At those ranges the 5.56 becomes a low powered .22 round.
The rest is speculation and I've labeled it as such.

Lol, those guys are paid to support whatever media spin they want at the time. It's not hard at all to run a stationary 'machine gun' thats set up with everything you need appropriately. The difficult part comes from running a gun and moving it around the field of combat, which was not the case here.

Yeah where is the info on this? Even 700 yards is a stretch, and he had to shoot into/ through his vehicle?
Has anything officially been released on his car actually being shot up? Given all the planning 700 yard shots seem a stretch for this guy. Sure hitting a van a couple of times with a 50 round mag wouldn't be that hard but setting off the tannerite from that distance would not be easy. Seems like he would have come up with a better plan than that imo.

It's clear that the second window broken was for the tanks correct? Looks like the line of site to me.
Sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

I think we can officially say that country music had nothing to do with his plans, which frankly removes a lot of political reasoning too.
The other festival in Vegas earlier in the month and Lollapalooza are far from 'conservative' politically.

I wonder if he was doing dry runs in his head. Watching how crowds behaved at these large events.

That, or he realized it wasn't 1999 anymore and there were like 2,000 people at Lollapalooza

So i am not going to read through all of this but is everyone believing that Paddock was the only shooter. The video footage of the cop in her car if you watch it sounds off 5 gun shots that sound extremely close and 7 seconds later you hear 13 shots at a long distance..All this talk about it is echoes is complete bull because the echo would not occur 7 seconds later nor will there be 6 more consistent shots in the echo....I do not believe at all that he was the only shooter judging from the sounds of gunfire and having shots on top of shots and sounds of different distances....Also the video that looks like a security guard shooting into the crowd at ground level is sketchy....If you watch any of these videos that sounds of the shots raining down is way to loud to be coming from 32 stories up and 400 yrds away, i am not saying the Paddock was not shooting but i am saying he wasnt the only one...
Did anybody see the photo of the girl they interviewed and there is 2 more pictures of the same girl on the news dressed different with different names.....All of this isnt adding up and it is sketchy as shite

Considering this has happened in every conspiracy theory over the last 5 years or so, you'd think they'd stop doing this and giving it away
These dudes are allegedly deep state with ties that run deep throughout the country and all they can find is one broad to give a wig and different names to? Come on bro.
