Probably someone frustrated at the lack of information who believes the FBI is hiding the motive.

As in, everyone not working for a law enforcement agency could probably be a suspect.


SwampBandit is on the top of their list.

That’s the first I’ve ever heard of a gas mask, or ‘shells’ by the tank- which would also imply that he was shooting at the tank while standing next to it



What kind of missles was he shooting out of his assault clips at the tank?

I don't know where he got the gas mask thing from.

But yesterday Lombardo said Paddock had "self protection devices" in the room.

It was also reported yesterday that Paddock fired incendiary rounds at the fuel tanks.

FBI/police start to release info about the gear he had in the room which included an oxygen mask, the special bullets he had to penetrate the fuel tanks ... many days later.


Where has this info been?

There are other reports that said the gear included an oxygen mask.

So, he has this equipment in his room. He has special bullets that can try and pierce through the tanks. There is shells in the tanks. A local news agency finds shells by the tanks. Then, the police release the info, only after they are caught with their pants down. Then, they tell us he has the piercing bullets in the room and in the rifle.... Old news.

He started as a troll, then had a few decent days here. Now he seems to have reverted back.

They knew all this right away at the crime scene. Yet withheld the info.

Nothing there says anything about a gas mask, or special tank piercing bullets, etc. It was reported early on that they found a couple bullet holes in the tanks, that's nothing new.

It doesn't take a "special" bullet to pierce a tank.

The cheapest of cheap Wolf ammo will go straight through a steel plate unless its hardened. It will laugh at your soft steel.

These tanks are double walled, and they were roughly 1,000 yards away. A 223 isn't going to penetrate both walls from that distance.

Hence why the reportedly found bullets between both walls.

these are your only chance and it is slim at best

quote:

Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock fired special "incendiary" bullets at a 43,000-barrel fuel tank in what investigators believe was an attempt to cause an explosion, two law enforcement sources told CNN. Those types of rounds, meant to ignite what they hit, were found inside Paddock's room at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and near the fuel tank a short distance away on the grounds of McCarran International Airport, the sources said. Authorities have previously disclosed that Paddock fired at the tank and struck it with two rifle rounds, when he opened fire on the crowd below from his 32nd floor hotel room on October 1. They had not disclosed that he used incendiary rounds to fire at the tank, which contains jet fuel. The sources, briefed on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said the incendiary rounds were recovered in an area near the tank. It is unclear if the rounds that struck the tank were also of the incendiary variety. Chris Jones, an airport spokesman, said he was unaware of any rounds being recovered other than those that struck the tank.

My point is just to note the police knew all of this pretty much right away and withheld the info. And, it wasn't a gas mask, it was a protective oxygen mask as part of the protective gear they found.

And, in that link the quote:

Investigators also found "survival gear" in Paddock's room, including bulletproof vests and a breathing apparatus, the sources said.

PS - this quote is a bit confusing
