Psychoanalysis

---

Once he pulls the trigger the first time his brain likely went to some degree of chaos where planning/common sense won't match action

That's a decent default explanation, and I don't think it's anything too convoluted but more than just he's crazy or not thinking.

I'd bet shooting the security guard did 2 things:

1. It made the situation real. Until he pulled that trigger he may have been disillusioned with the whole scenario. Shooting someone and hearing them scream or seeing them bleed is a whole different event from planning.

2. He realized how fricking loud a gun is in a hotel room without ear protection.

The 5-6 minute gap between shooting the security guard and the 10 minutes of psychotic chaos:

He centers and gathers his nerve and tries to plan his next course of action or maybe just sat there staring at the door expecting more people to come.

Finally he turns to shoot at the crowd. My guess is the first burst fricked him up. Between muzzle flash, loudness of the bangs in that room without ear protection, and the reality of the situation he mightve just said frick whatever planning he had and started to just unload until he was so disoriented, deaf, and distraught he killed himself.

The problem with my theory I realized is he had the wherewithal to monitor when the cops were coming and fire through the door before killing himself. However, if the 200 shots is inaccurate and it was a just the remaining bullets in the mag and then he shot himself that makes sense.

Bottom line is we just don't know enough and what we do know is too shakey and incorrect to piece this thing together yet.

Thank you. So let's put that to rest. And it makes sense, because

I don't think it's posssible to fire 200 rounds from a rifle into a hallway at one of the largest hotels in the world and not injure more than one person.

I agree, but also this leads back to the original discussion of what's in the room. Unless he had a massive belt fed weapon, wouldnt 200 rounds mean he either swapped multiple mags or used multiple guns to attack the door? And no one else reported or investigated this and he was able to just peacefully work for 6 minutes after doing that? And the security guard was doing what for that time?

And what happened in that 6 minutes in the suite? Why did he wait all that time to start shooting?

So, before the shooting, you have an open door alarm, a broken window alarm, a smoke detector, 200 rounds of gunfire inside the hotel, and a missing security guard for 6 minutes and no one in the hotel blinks an eye?

Putting conspiracy theories aside for now, something is wrong with the official timeline and list of facts.

It's just too much of a coincidence that there was an open door alarm on the 32nd floor that was within earshot of Paddock using a drill. An open door alarm to a room they claimed was not registered to Paddock

---

I thought the open door alarm was from the emergency door in the hallway? I thought it was him drilling into that door that set off the alarm? Not from an individual room?

That would substantially change my opinion.

How could it be possible to fire 200 rounds through a door in a casino hotel and no one respond?

What's the fastest speed limit in America? 85? Most places it's 70?

Can we sue to auto makers for our speedometers and cars capable of exceeding 85 when there is a crash?

Why should I give two fricks about two chics that whored themselves out for money and fame?

This is what I keep asking.

If Weinstein was a rapist or a pedophile, then lock him under the jail.

If he's a producer who told a fully consenting adult that sucking his dick would lead to a life of ease and fame, then where is the crime?

Here's a simple factual post:

Current females in DC by the numbers:
20 US Senators
84 US House Reps
5 Trump cabinet members
The 2017 DNC presidential candidate

There have also been:
42 state governors reaching back to 1875
Countless other state and local reps, previous administration cabinets, etc....

Just weird ISIS would go through such a hassle trying to escape and not go guns blazing.

Agree. Especially because they have a penchant for blowing themselves up.
