Yeah, give someone your gun and let them shoot at a hotel full of people. What could go wrong?


Shooting at the window he saw the gunfire coming from would have absolutely done something and saved lives. The dude is beyond highly qualified with that weapon and had a good position to fire from.

I just realized that I live in a world where people argue with a straight face that the police should just hand over their weapons to civilians and let them open fire on a packed hotel.

If some people in the OT were cops, we would have had 75 people dead, 50 by the shooter 25 by the cops trying to shoot him through a 4 square foot hole on the side of a highly occupied hotel where you couldnt even see him, lmao

Make a 500 yard shot with a rifle of questionable accuracy into an elevated position surrounded by innocent bystanders on the ground and target location.

No spotter either.

Likely swirling winds around building too.

Not to mention what happens when word gets out over the radio that there is now a civilian shooting on the ground.

He wouldn't even have had to put down his beer of course.

He had probably taken more than a little drugs and alcohol but let's hand the dude a rifle.

Other than having tons of money, what qualifications does he have?

And nobody had a good position. LVPD did the right thing in not shooting back.

Even a simple mistake hitting the wrong floor could have killed someone else.

In fairness, there would have been a limited amount of damage he could do because every cop within firing range would have lit his arse up as soon as he started shooting.

I highly doubt anyone would have checked to see if some other cop just loaned him his weapon first.

The situation is even more hilarious bc at that point, the people on the ground had no idea where the shooting was coming from exactly. shite, its a week later and you still have idiots making youtube videos pointing out every blinking light reflection on the side of a lit up hotel in Vegas at night as if it is muzzle flash.

Let's just start shooting up the side of this hotel, we've narrowed it down enough.

So the 60 Minutes interview with the police officers who breached Paddock’s room was intense. The note he had was the alt, distance, drop.

Well yes that would be insane but Dan Bilzerian is a police officer, not kidding, and he showed the cops there his badge.

He was less than 200 yards away, the people around him were cops and he had great line of sight. Obviously you guys haven’t seen the video.

That was reported by 60 minutes. That explains why his first 3 shots were separate from the spray shooting he did after the crowd went crazy.
