There are videos of him bringing huge duffel bags into the hotel on several occasions. Hotel staff even helped him. If I remember there was a connected parking garage that he entered from.

My favorite, there was even one earlier in the thread, are the people who say this was a CIA gun deal gone bad. Right. Because the CIA has no better place, in a state that is 90% abandoned desert, to do a secret gun deal. Yep, they are going to tote a couple dozen rifles (ones you can buy at a sporting good store) up to a hotel suite to sell them. That must be it!

no it didn't disappear faster than that. Bumpstocks were made illegal because of this shooting.
You just have a bad memory. It was almost exactly 3 years ago. it has been a while but it was talked about for a while. Terrible tragedy for sure. Just a psychopath. he had a lot of explosive materials but never built a bomb. could have been worse

honestly think that since it occurred in a premier vacation destination location that the Vegas powers that be have really pushed to keep this whole thing on the down low, to not let Vegas be known as "the place where a bunch of people were shot and killed".
I never actually thought about this angle, and now that you mention this, it makes the absolute most sense to me. Occom’s Razor and all

My first girlfriend in middle school was at the concert when the shooting went down. It was very eerie to see her post stuff right after the shooting happened and what they had to do to escape. Real scary

Does virginia tech have any memorials, etc. up in relation to their mass killing that occurred there? I'm most certain its not mentioned to high school seniors on their college tour trips

Local news has previously reported that Paddock rented a huge suite at a downtown hotel overlooking the Life Is Beautiful Festival a couple of weeks earlier. Speculation was that he'd considered targeting that event originally but then backed away from it.
Paddock also targeted fuel tanks at nearby McCarran Airport, hoping to set to set off explosions. LINK

I don’t get the cheated in life angle. He was a millionaire due to smart real estate investments. He gambled but still had a huge nest egg. A week prior to the shootings he wired $100k overseas to his “girlfriend” to get a place to live.

There was a possible antifa angle, and I always figured the govt covered up to prevent a response from any revenge minded baws. I.e. avoid the civil war these fricks are intent on starting. He targeted country music cuz fans are mostly conservative

Attempt to turn the Trump base (country fans) against guns.

i think about this a lot. it was probably just a "typical" bitter person... but it just doesn't feel right.

There are 2 conspiracy theories I've heard, one is very simple:
1. Was a left wing nut job who wanted to kill Trump supporters at a country music conert
The second one is super complicated
2. The floor above on Mandalay Bay is privately owned by a Saudi royal. There was some Saudi prince in town. When the shooting starts there is security footage of a Saudi (the prince) being escorted out of a casino with an entourage of armed guards. Crazy stuff. There are reports of other shootings. Apparently the angle goes that some faction of Saudis were there to assassinate the prince. Bear in mind at this time Trump was working deep in roads to ally with the Saudis. And a week or two after this happens there were tons of people who were arrested for corruption in Saudi Arabia, including people opposed to the prince who was trying to be assassinated. I can't remember a whole lot but it is deep about that, how they tried to schedule a hit on their prince and it got all messed up so their cover was to frame Paddock, killed a bunch of Americans, and escaped. And the fall out from Americans realizing a bunch of Saudis killed a bunch of Americans and wanting war with them would be nuclear.

The guns actually were bought at sporting goods stores, with his own credit cards, and required background check for each purchase, that’s the classic mark of a illegal “CIA gun running operation”!

I think the story pretty much ends with “Paddock was a real dick.”

my personal thoughts are it was just a flipped out crazy guy who by all accounts should have been investigated yet due to PC BS no one wanted to be accused of some "ism" for reporting him so until people started dying only then were people willing to speak up bout all the red flags surrounding him
now as to the investigation, its a total cover up of how it was mismanaged and no one wants to be held accountable for it. along with that its a PR nightmare they want erased from history and never talked about again
