What good is facial recognition if you don't know what you are supposed to be looking for? There's plenty of footage of him bringing bags up to his room just like every other person at the hotel

Then he happens to choose the perfect 2 rooms at the hotel with an elevated position to target this event, which also assumes he's already capable of the markmanship to inflict this damage despite no military background or training.


Do you even know what you are talking about? Asking for a specific room isn't difficult. What kind of marksmanship is required to fire into a massive crowd of people? It's like you are incapable of reasonably thinking because your head is so clouded by conspiracy theories.

how expensive do you think guns are?
Do you think it's reasonable that a mid 50s white man had a few thousand dollars to spare!!!

yea you can do that with a baby cam.

i figured out how to set up multiple baby cams when I had newborns. But then again, I am highly savvy and able to handle a highly logistical process like...setting up baby cams. I never did figure out how to hide them under a napkin, that was just a little out of my range.

Vegas was the perfect set up for that, if you look at the guy's past/family history, he was a good candidate, Vegas is known for attracting kooks, eccentrics, and people with superstitions, "I was here last month and I won big, I've got to have that room!" to the porters "hey, I'm going to be here for few weeks and have lot of stuff, can you help me get all of this up to my room?(with a hundred being fed into the guy's hand) not hard to set that up, imo

Not necessarily, but if you have one guy getting a room and it takes a goddamn forklift to bring up his luggage, it begs questions.


Wasn’t it done over a week, and he left with bags at times as well. Maybe he was setting them up, but I thought i read this coming and going with bags to & from his home was not uncommon for him during his stays.

The FBI can’t come up with motive, and most seem to say he was not acting differently than usual. Other than hindsight I would like to know what they have on MGM that leaves them thinking settling for $800 million is their best option (if it’s them and not insurance making decision).

Im not sure i understand why the Hotel is paying the victims?


Because there is a massive coverup going on and if the matter proceeded to civil trial the defendant would have to explain how there is not a shred of video in existence and that public discovery fight would add fuel to the fire and lend credence to the conspiracy. So the defendant will pay and be made whole by deep state.

Correct. I think he would take a couple of bags per day up on his own over the course of a week or so.

Given that, it seems super easy to do and get by a huge hotel, nothing highly logistical or no savvy criminal mindset is really needed to do that.

This event has to go away. The government can make you feel safe by spending billions on TSA or providing metal detectors in schools, but copy-cat high-rise sniping at large public gatherings is a fear that can't be white-washed.
