LAS VEGAS SHOOTING, NOTHING ADDS UP

AS SHOWN IN THE ABOVE DIAGRAM, THE DISTANCE FROM THE HOTEL TO THE CENTER OF THE CONCERT VENUE IS 1,360 FEET. HE SHOT FROM 320 FEET ABOVE THE STREET AT A 15 DEGREE ANGLE.

FROM THE L.A. TIMES:
Arthur B. Alphin is well acquainted with the trigonometry of terror.
The retired Army lieutenant colonel and West Point graduate, who has a mechanical engineering degree and specialized in ballistics, stated,

“He had a huge area of three, four or five football fields with people standing shoulder to shoulder,” AHe was not aiming at any individual person. He was just throwing bullets in a huge ‘beaten zone.’”

Beaten zone is an infantry term dating to World War I. Shaped like the area a searchlight casts across a flat surface, it represents the area where bullets can strike, and moves substantially with tiny changes in the tilt of the gun.

If the shooter shifted by about 1 degree, or the width of two fingers held at arm’s length, Alphin said, the beaten zone would fall outside the crowd.  


Alphin said there was “no way” the shooter maintained such a steady kill zone by dumb luck. Steady nerves and planning are a better explanation for the casualty rate, he said.

“How did this guy get trained that well? Where did it come from? 


There may also be expertise at work in deciding when to switch rifles, Alphin said. Gun barrels expand as they heat up, and the bullet can lose contact with the grooves that spin it and keep it point-forward. Without the spin, it will tumble.

“A bullet tumbling like that, good God, it will land on planet Earth but you don’t know where,” Alphin said.


BUT AS WE HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD, PADDOCK WAS NEVER IN THE MILITARY, WAS NOT  A HIGHLY TRAINED WEAPONS EXPERT. HE WAS AN OUT-OF-SHAPE 64-YEAR-OLD GAMBLER.

HE WAS NOT KNOWN TO FREQUENT SHOOTING RANGES, WAS SELDOM SEEN OUTSIDE HIS HOMES EXCEPT IN CASINOS.
HE FREQUENTLY HAD PIZZAS DELIVERED TO HIS HOUSE RATHER THAN VENTURE OUT.  

WHERE DID HE ACQUIRE DEADLY EXPERTISE TO PLAN THIS AND TO STAND STEADY FOR JUST OVER 10 MINUTES WHILE CHANGING MAGAZINES, CHANGING WINDOWS AND SO PRECISELY TARGET A SMALL AREA IN THE ARENA ACROSS THE ROAD, AFTER DARK?


         ABOVE: ALLEGED SHOOTER, STEPHEN PADDOCK, RECENT PHOTO.  
He was a high-stakes gambler recognized in the casinos of Nevada. He dabbled in real estate investments in Texas. His last known full-time employment was 30 years ago. He was twice divorced. He had a pilot’s license and had owned two single-engine planes

A SECOND VIDEO, ALSO PURPORTING TO SHOW THE SAME FLASHES AT A LOWER LEVEL.


PICTURED ABOVE, STEPHEN PADDOCK AND HIS LIVE-IN GIRLFRIEND, MARILOU DANLEY (IN THE LAVENDER TOP), TAKEN IN THE PHILIPPINES, NOT THE MIDDLE EAST, IN 2013.
SEVERAL QUESTIONABLE NEWS SITES AND A COUPLE OF MAINSTREAM MEDIA REPORTED PHOTOS WERE FOUND OF PADDOCK N THE MIDDLE EAST.
THE PHILIPPINES ARE NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

PADDOCK HAD SENT MS. DANLEY ON VACATION TO THE PHILIPPINES ON SEPTEMBER 15. SHE RETURNED TUESDAY AND WAS QUESTIONED BY THE FBI FOR MOST OF THE DAY.


PADDOCK HAD WIRED HER $100,000 ONCE SHE ARRIVED IN THE PHILIPPINES SO SHE COULD BUY A HOUSE.


PER THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE:
"He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen," Danley said in a statement read by her lawyer outside FBI headquarters in Los Angeles.

Danley, who was out of the country for more than two weeks, said she was initially pleased when Paddock wired her money in the Philippines to buy a house for her family. But she later feared it was a way to break up with her.


It was in a casino where Paddock met his girlfriend, who was a high-limit hostess for Club Paradise at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Eric Paddock told The Washington Post.

Danley's sisters in Australia said in a TV interview that they believe Paddock sent her away so she wouldn't interfere with his murderous plans.

Paddock wired $100,000 to the Philippines days before the shooting, a U.S. official not authorized to speak publicly because of the continuing investigation said on condition of anonymity. Investigators are trying to trace that money."  
THE NEW YORK TIMES STATED:
Ms. Danley was born in the Philippines, relatives said, and spent many years in Australia, where she became a citizen and worked for a time as a tour guide. She was married to a man who later died.

At some point, she met Mr. Danley and moved to Memphis, TN. The couple wed in 1990 and their marriage lasted 25 years.


“She’s probably one of the most happy, outgoing, full-of-life people I’ve ever known,” said Dionne Waltrip, Ms. Danley’s former stepdaughter, who lives outside Fayetteville, Ark. “Everyone who has ever met her likes her.”

Ms. Waltrip said her father, Geary Danley, traveled the world as an auditor for FedEx and met his future wife overseas.




A BIRDSEYE VIEW OF THE HOTEL AND FAIRGROUNDS WHERE THE CONCERT WAS BEING HELD. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY WERE SEPARATED BY THE LAS VEGAS BOULEVARD.  



ANOTHER VIEW OF THE TWO BROKEN WINDOWS ON THE 32nd FLOOR.  



^ THE CONCERT ARENA/FAIRGROUNDS, AS SEEN FROM A WINDOW ON THE 32nd FLOOR OF THE MANDALAY BAY HOTEL.



^ LAYOUT OF THE 'VISTA SUITES', JUST LIKE THE ROOM PADDOCK WAS FOUND IN.

AS THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE NOTED:
"The 64-year-old high-stakes gambler and real estate investor specifically requested an upper-floor room with a view of the music festival, according to a person who has seen hotel records turned over to investigators.

Paddock wasn't able to move into the room until Saturday, said the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly and disclosed the information to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The room, which goes for $590 (per night), was given to Paddock free because he was a good customer who wagered tens of thousands of dollars each time he visited the casino, the person said. 
Authorities have said he brought 23 weapons in 10 suitcases into the room and set up cameras inside and out to watch for police closing in on him.

But investigators had little to work with in trying to determine what set him off."



AS PER THE MANDALAY BAY HOTEL, THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO HOW THE ROOM LOOKED THAT THE SHOOTER(S) USED. PLEASE NOTE, THE TRIPODS WERE SET UP 10 WINDOWS APART, SO ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BAR AREA AND THE OTHER IN THE VICINITY OF THE LARGE SOFA IN THE FOREGROUND.
THAT'S A LOT OF RUNNING BACK-AND-FORTH. 
HE WOULD ALSO HAVE NOT HAD AS GOOD AN ANGLE TO FIRE FROM AT ONE WINDOW, AS SEVERAL EX-MILITARY PERSONNEL HAVE POINTED OUT.   


IN THE POLICE SCANNER AUDIO, THE FIRST OFFICER WE HEAR STATES THAT HE SEES FLASHES OF GUNFIRE "ABOUT HALFWAY UP, HALFWAY UP!" THE HOTEL, HE SHOUTS.
THE 32nd FLOOR IS 10 FLOORS ABOVE "HALFWAY UP", SO THE OFFICER PERHAPS SAW GUNFIRE LOWER DOWN, AS OTHER WITNESSES REPORTED?



ABOVE: A CLOSER LOOK AT THE TWO BROKEN HOTEL WINDOWS. NOTICE THEIR LOCATION AS COMPARED TO THE PHOTO BELOW OF A SINGLE BROKEN WINDOW LOWER DOWN.
THE WINDOWS ARE ARRANGED IN ROWS OF SIX, EXCEPT AT THE CORNERS OF THE BUILDING WHERE THERE ARE ONLY THREE WINDOWS PER ROW ALL THE WAY UP THAT BUILDING. 
ENLARGE THE IMAGE TO SEE THE DRAPES BLOWING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW.  



THE ABOVE IMAGE WAS TAKEN BY AND USED ON LIVE UPDATE BY 'SKY NEWS'. IT SHOWS THE LOCAL TIME AS 7:11 AM THE MORNING AFTER THE SHOOTING.
IT SHOWS A SINGLE BROKEN WINDOW, THROUGH WHICH ONE CAN SEE DRAPES WHICH SOME HAVE CLAIMED ARE NOT THE SAME PATTERN/COLOR AS THOSE PICTURED IN THE IMAGE OF THE TWO BROKEN WINDOWS, AND JUST BELOW THE SINGLE WINDOW, ONE CAN ALSO SEE THE TOPS OF PALM TREES.
PALM TREES DO NOT GROWN TO 32 STORIES TALL, SOME "JOURNALISTS" HAVE SAID
THIS IMAGE ONLY APPEARS TO SHOW A MUCH LOWER LEVEL WINDOW, ONE JUST ABOVE THE TREETOPS.

WHILE MANY SAY THE THE BREAKAGE PATTERN IS ALSO NOT LIKE THE IMAGES OF THE TWO WINDOWS, IT IS INDEED THE SAME PATTERN AS THE FAR RIGHT WINDOW SHOWED ABOVE IN THE TWO-WINDOWS PHOTO. 
OF COURSE THESE "DISCREPANCIES" CAN ALL BE EXPLAINED AWAY DUE TO CAMERA ANGLE, VARIED DISTANCE FROM THE HOTEL THESE SHOTS WERE TAKEN, ANGLE OF LIGHT AND SHADOW, ETC. IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE THAN TWO WINDOWS BROKEN WE WOULD HAVE SEEN THOSE VERY CLEARLY, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FILMED AND THEY WERE NOT.     


[OTHER IMAGES OF THE MANDALAY BAY, ITS BROKEN WINDOWS, POSITION RELATIVE TO THE CONCERT ARENA AND THE ROOM LAYOUT CAN BE SEEN <HERE> AND <HERE>.]


WHY?
WHY DID HE DO IT?

THE SENSELESSNESS OF THE KILLINGS IN VEGAS TROUBLES THE MIND.
THE LACK OF APPARENT MOTIVE, WHY AND HOW A SINGLE GUNMAN COULD HAVE KILLED SO MANY, ACTING ALONE, IN UNDER 11 MINUTES TIME MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND CLOSURE. 
59 KILLED, 527 INJURED.

IN THE OPENING MOMENTS OF THIS TRAGEDY, EMOTIONS WERE RUNNING SO HIGH THAT  MAINSTREAM MEDIA (MSM) WAS CAUGHT UP IN REPORTING FAKE NEWS, FALSE INFORMATION, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC WAS TAKING EVERY WORD AS FACT.  



AS THE GUARDIAN (U.K.) PUT IT:


"Google, Facebook and Twitter have faced repeated accusations that they allow propaganda to spread on their sites and reach large audiences, and in the wake of embarrassing stories of promoting fake news and offensive content, the tech corporations have typically blamed their algorithms and offered vague pledges of improvement.


“It’s getting more polarized.
There’s this mad scramble to paint the guy as a Democrat or a Republican, so they can cheer,” Brooke Binkowski, managing editor of fact-checking website Snopes.com, said in an interview. “A lot of this is pushed by trolls deliberately to muddy the conversation.”

False content can quickly move from social media to legitimate news sources, she added: “People are putting out crap information on purpose … It’s really easy to get sh_t into the news cycle by being on Twitter.”


WE HERE IN AMERICA ARE GETTING TWO 'SPINS' TO THIS WILD, STILL UNFOLDING TRAGEDY, ONE FROM EACH "SIDE" OF THE POLITICAL ARENA BECAUSE OUR MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS OWNED BY THOSE WHO ALSO BUY POLITICIANS WITH "CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS" AND LOBBYISTS' 'FAVORS' AND WHO THEN SUPPORT THEIR AGENDA "IN THE PRESS". 
TRUE JOURNALISM, REAL NEWS IS DEAD IN AMERICA. 
IT'S JUST A CONSTANT TWO-PARTY WAR BETWEEN MEDIA MOGULS.

UNCOMMON HATRED FLOWS IN ALL DIRECTIONS HERE RIGHT NOW, AT A LEVEL THAT SHOCKS MANY OF US.
TAKE THIS, FOR EXAMPLE:


Hatred was certainly revealed by a CBS legal counsel who was fired for her shockingly heartless Internet posting today about the victims.

Will Ricciardella at the Daily Caller reports the senior counsel for strategic transactions at CBS named Hayley Geftman-Gold spewed on Facebook that she “is not even sympathetic” for the hundreds of victims of a mass shooter in Las Vegas Sunday night. That didn't end up being a very strategic transaction.

“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs will ever do the right thing,” wrote Geftman-Gold on Facebook, perhaps referring to Sandy Hook. “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc country music fans often are Republican gun toters.”

CBS has a history of hostility towards Republicans.
Shortly after the attack on the GOP congressional baseball team gravely injuring Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise in June, former CBS anchor Scott Pelley questioned whether the shooting was “foreseeable, predictable and to some degree, self-inflicted.”

EVEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GOT ITS 'DIG' IN, OBVIOUSLY HOPING THE SHOOTER HAD CONVERTED TO ISLAM? :  

"The Associated Press noted in a tweet that ISIS “doesn’t take responsibility unless it’s at least loosely associated with the attack.”


However law enforcement officials were quoted as saying they had no evidence the shooting had any connections with terrorism.


FACTS NEVER GET IN THE WAY OF OUR MSM, NO SIR!

SOMEWHERE, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
WHEN WE'LL KNOW THAT TRUTH IS IN SERIOUS DOUBT.

BUT WE DO KNOW THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR A LONE GUNMAN TO PULL THIS OFF.
AS THE CLARK COUNTY SHERIFF STATED, AT SOME POINT HE HAD TO HAVE HAD SOME HELP.

SURVEILLANCE.
SURVEILLANCE WOULD HAVE SHOWN MUCH IF NOT ALL MOVEMENT WITHIN THE CASINO/HOTEL BY THIS MAN.

MOST HOTEL/CASINOS IN LAS VEGAS ARE PLACES WITH MORE SECURITY CAMERAS THAN FORT KNOX. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE, EVEN ON THE STREETS OUTSIDE.

THEY'RE MONITORED 24 HOURS A DAY.


AS NBC DEMONSTRATED, THOSE CAMERAS CAN PROVIDE EVIDENCE FROM YEARS AGO, AS THE VIDEO FROM 2011 SHOWS IN THEIR ARTICLE OF THE ACCUSED SHOOTER (PADDOCK) FALLING IN A CASINO IN 2011...YES, 2011.
SIX YEARS AGO. 

SO WHERE ARE SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGES FROM 4 DAYS AGO, 2, 1 DAY AGO?
WHY AREN'T SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS, NOT CONJECTURE, BEING SHOWN ONLINE?  

PULL THE FILM! SEE WHAT THE CAMERAS SAW!

VEGAS HAS SOME OF THE MOST HIGH-TECH CAMERA AND SECURITY LIGHTING COMBINATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, SOME EQUIPPED WITH VERY SENSITIVE MICROPHONES, SOME WITH TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION DEVICES, SO HOW DIFFICULT WOULD IT BE TO TRACK THE SHOOTER'S COMING AND GOING, TO SEE WHAT HE WAS CARRYING WHEN HE CHECKED IN, TRACK HIS MOVEMENTS DURING THOSE DAYS PRIOR TO THE SHOOTING?

BTW, DESPITE WHAT SOME HAVE REPORTED, PADDOCK WAS ONLY IN VEGAS FOR 3 DAYS PRIOR TO THE SHOOTING, NOT AN ENTIRE WEEK.
"Police said Paddock had used Danley’s slot card to gamble in the hotel, and that he was in Las Vegas for three days prior to the shooting."


DID HE GO OUT TO EAT, GAMBLE ELSEWHERE, VISIT OTHER CASINOS?
WE KNOW HE USED DANLEY'S CASINO CARD TO DO SOME GAMBLING AT THE MANDALAY.

WHY WOULD A MAN ABOUT TO KILL AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE BY SMUGGLING IN ALMOST 2 DOZEN ASSAULT WEAPONS WASTE PRECIOUS TIME GAMBLING?

WAS HE ALONE AT ALL TIMES, DID HE BEHAVE SUSPICIOUSLY, DID STAFF NOTICE ANYTHING THEY DID NOT REPORT TO MANAGEMENT?
AFTER ALL, HOTEL MANAGEMENT HAS SAID ROOM SERVICE VISITED THAT ROOM, SO WHAT DID STAFF SEE THERE?
DID THEY SEE THE TRIPODS ALL NICELY SET UP AT TWO WINDOWS? 
MAYBE SOME OF THE ARSENAL OF 23 GUNS? 

APPARENTLY NOT, ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS AND OTHERS: 

"During the days before the shooting, hotel housekeepers in his room saw no indication of his arsenal or the coming rage, authorities said."

HOUSEKEEPING, ROOM SERVICE, NO ONE NOTICED ANYTHING STRANGE.
HE BROUGHT IN 10 PIECES OF LUGGAGE...10.
ONE MAN WITH 10 PIECES OF LUGGAGE DIDN'T SEEM ODD TO ANYONE?

THERE ARE MANY CAMERAS THAT COULD BE ACCESSED TO SHOW HIS MOVEMENTS.

COULD WE SEE THOSE ONLINE, PLEASE?

I AM IN NO WAY SUGGESTING THIS SHOOTING DID NOT OCCUR, NOR DO I QUESTION THAT OVER 50 PEOPLE DIED AND OVER 500 WERE INJURED.
I MOST DEFINITELY QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT THE MAN NAMED WAS THE ACTUAL SHOOTER AND, IF HE WAS, THAT HE ACTED ALONE. 


SOME OF THE STRANGEST THINGS I'VE NOTICED TO DATE APPEARS IN THE "LEAKED" PHOTOS OF THE HOTEL ROOM WITH PADDOCK'S BODY LYING IN A POOL OF BLOOD.
NO, I WON'T POST THOSE PHOTOS HERE, BUT CLICK HERE FOR A LINK TO ONE SET OF THEM.


PLEASE NOTICE THE GLOVE ON HIS LEFT HAND...IT IS NOT, AS MANY HAVE POINTED OUT, A "SHOOTER'S GLOVE", TOO BULKY. 
LOOK AT HIS FEET, SEE THAT WEAPON WITH A TRIPOD OVER POSITIONED ABOVE THAT ONE FOOT?
SEE HOW THE RIGHT FOOT APPEARS TO BE RESTING AGAINST THE TABLE?
HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE STANDING WITH HIS FOOT BENEATH THAT TRIPOD AND RIGHT NEXT TO THE TABLE WHEN HE FIRED THE SHOT AND KILLED HIMSELF, IF THIS WAS A SUICIDE.
HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO FALL STRAIGHT BACK INTO THIS POSITION.

FROM THE LOOKS OF THE POOL OF BLOOD ABOUT HIS HEAD, BRIGHT RED LIQUID TO DARK RED CONGEALED, TIME OF DEATH MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE RECENT THAN A FULL HOUR PRIOR TO THIS PHOTO, AND FROM THE POSITION OF HIS SHOULDERS, IT APPEARS BOTH ARMS ARE RESTING CLOSE BESIDE HIS BODY. 
THAT IN ITSELF SEEMS ODD.
WAS THERE A SIMILAR GLOVE ON HIS RIGHT HAND?
WAS HE RIGHT-HANDED?
WE'RE TOLD HE FIRED THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS, ONE REPORT WAS OF 280 ROUNDS IN JUST 31 SECONDS, BUT THERE ARE NO SPENT CASINGS ON THE CHAIR OR TABLE BY THE WINDOW, BUT IT SEEMS QUITE A FEW ARE NEAR HIS HEAD AREA.
MAYBE THE BULK OF CASINGS ARE AT THE OTHER WINDOW?

A GUN EXPERT FROM FLORIDA HAS SAID IT'S EASY TO FIRE 500 ROUNDS PER MINUTE USING A DEVICE CALLED A "BUMP STOCK".
IN THAT SAME REPORT, THE FBI STATED THAT 12 OF THE WEAPONS FOUND IN THE ROOM HAD SUCH A DEVICE.
500 ROUNDS A MINUTE TIMES 10 MINUTES?
5000 ROUNDS, 5000 CASINGS. 
MAYBE ALL THAT SEEMS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO SWALLOW THAT ONE MAN, ACTING COMPLETELY ALONE PLANNED AND EXECUTED THIS ATROCITY.
I DON'T SEE HOW THAT COULD BE THE CASE.  

I MUST THINK THAT EITHER LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IS TOO ACCEPTING OF THE LONE GUNMAN THEORY AND ISN'T DIGGING DEEPLY ENOUGH, LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS MAN WAS HIMSELF A VICTIM AND WAS USED TO COVER THE TRAIL TO ANOTHER SHOOTER OR SHOOTERS, OR THAT THE PRESENCE OF THE FBI HAS STOPPED THEM FROM PROCEEDING IN THAT DIRECTION.

AFTER ALL, AS THE FBI HAS BEEN BUSTED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST FOR AIDING AND ABETTING WOULD-BE KILLERS, FOR CREATING TERRORISTS WITH 'STING OPERATIONS', EVEN DRIVING ONE TO THE SCENE TO BLOW UP A BRIDGE, PROVIDING 'FAKE' EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, ETC, I CANNOT BUT WONDER IF THIS, TOO, MAY HAVE BEEN SUCH A "STING" GONE WRONG, ESPECIALLY IF IT TURNS OUT THE ELDERLY MAN WAS ATTACHED TO ISIS, OR HAD BEEN IN A NATION WHERE ISIS MAY HAVE CONTACTED HIM, WHICH WOULD HAVE POSSIBLY MADE HIM SUBJECT TO FBI SURVEILLANCE AND PERHAPS SUBSEQUENT "HANDLING" TO ENTRAP AND CONVICT HIM.


MAYBE HE WAS JUST BEING WATCHED BECAUSE OF HIS GAMBLING ACTIVITY, SINCE THE FBI WAS ALSO BUSTED VIOLATING THE 4TH AMENDMENT OUT IN VEGAS 3 YEARS AGO TO NAB A GROUP OF GAMBLERS. .

SEE THE CBS NEWS REPORT, October 30, 2014:
Did an FBI sting operation in Vegas cross the line?

"MULTIPLE SHOOTERS" 
HOW MANY TIMES DOES POLICE SCANNER AUDIO STATE THERE ARE MULTIPLE SHOOTERS FROM MULTIPLE LOCATIONS?

EVEN THE WASHINGTON POST CALLED ATTENTION TO THAT.

“Have confirmed that there are two shooters with fully automated weapons,” an officer said, according to the transcript, about a minute after the hotel guard was wounded."


~ THE FIRST OF SEVEN 'BURNING QUESTIONS' I HAVE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IS ABOUT THE MULTIPLE REPORTS PUBLISHED ONLINE AND IN NEWS ARTICLES, STATEMENTS MADE BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OF "TWO OR THREE SHOOTERS".
TWO OR THREE? 

THERE WAS A COUPLE MOVING THROUGH THE CONCERT CROWD TOWARD THE STAGE ABOUT 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE SHOOTING BEGAN, TELLING CONCERT-GOERS THAT THEY WERE ALL GOING TO DIE, THAT "THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE TONIGHT.",
ONE 'LIVE NEWS INTERVIEW' WITH A SURVIVOR WHO REPORTED THIS CAN BE VIEWED <HERE>.

POLITIFACT VERIFIED THAT THE VIDEO OF THAT INTERVIEW IS REAL, NOT A HOAX.

"It is unclear if police are looking into the people described by the concertgoer or if KSNV has followed up with Brianna."

OTHER CONCERT ATTENDEES COMPLAINED SHE WAS TOUCHING THEM, 'PLAYING WITH THEIR HAIR' AS SHE SAID THESE THINGS, BUT TODAY THOSE 'NEWSFLASHES' ARE NO MORE.

NEWS REPORTS, INTERVIEWS WITH SURVIVORS STATED THAT THE PAIR HAD BEEN QUICKLY ESCORTED FROM THE CONCERT AS THE FEMALE STATED HER COMPANION WAS HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING.

DIDN'T ANYONE GET THEIR IDs?
WERE THEY 'FRISKED'?
DID HE HAVE A GUN, DID SHE?

DID THEY GET ESCORTED TO A HOSPITAL?

WERE POLICE OR EMTs CALLED FOR?

SEEMS THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

THIS WAS BRIEFLY 'BIG NEWS' AT THE TIME, THESE PRE-CONCERT DOOMSAYERS, BUT NO MORE.
AFTER ALL, IT WAS UNKNOWN HOW MANY SHOOTERS WERE OUT THERE UNTIL ABOUT 2 HOURS AFTER PADDOCK'S BODY WAS FOUND AND EVERYONE INSISTED ON FOCUSING ON A 'LONE GUNMAN'.

WHY NOT LOOK INTO THAT NOW?
IT WASN'T JUST CONCERT ATTENDEES WHO SAID THERE WAS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER INSIDE THE ARENA AND GUNFIRE COMING FROM OTHER DIRECTIONS.   

~  SECONDLY, THE POLICE SCANNER AUDIO POSTED TO VARIOUS PLACES ON THE WEB, INCLUDING YOUTUBE, DEFINITELY SHOW THAT POLICE WERE SEARCHING FOR "MULTIPLE SHOOTERS", WERE SEARCHING FOR A SHOOTER INSIDE THE CONCERT ARENA/FAIRGROUNDS, THAT THEY AND EYEWITNESSES AT THE SCENE SAW FLASHES FROM GUNFIRE AT MORE THAN ONE WINDOW IN MORE THAN ONE LOCATION ON THE MANDALAY HOTEL BUILDING.


SOME CITIZENS AND EARLY 'NEWS' REPORTS MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASHES FROM A FOURTH-FLOOR WINDOW.
AS ONE OF THE PHOTOS ABOVE SHOWS, SKY NEWS HAD A PHOTO OF A WINDOW BROKEN JUST ABOVE THE TOPS OF PALM TREES THAT ARE VISIBLE BENEATH THAT WINDOW.
NO PALM TREES ARE 32 STORIES TALL.

THERE ARE 3 VIDEOS OF THE EARLY MOMENTS OF THE SHOOTING,TWO POSTED ABOVE.

PEOPLE TOOK THE VIDEOS TO SHOW FLASHES FROM A LOWER WINDOW.
NOW THAT'S DENIED.

NOW WE'RE TOLD THAT LOWER WINDOW FLASHING IS JUST A STROBE LIGHT AT SOMEONE'S PARTY ON THE 4TH FLOOR.

AFTER THE OTHER TWO VIDEOS WERE POSTED FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES, SHOWING THE SAME 'FLASHES', MSM DROPPED ITS EXPLANATION THAT THE FLASHES WERE MERELY REFLECTIONS IN THE TAXI WINDSHIELD.


THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, STOP WRITING THAT IT WAS 'REFLECTIONS'.

SHOULD WE EXPECT THAT POLICE SCANNER AUDIO TO BE REMOVED OR 'EDITED', IF IT ISN'T ALREADY?

~ THIRDLY, WHILE INITIAL REPORTS LED US TO BELIEVE THAT POLICE HAD TAKEN OUT THE SHOOTER, IT TURNS OUT THAT IT WAS OVER AN HOUR AFTER THE GUNFIRE CEASED THAT POLICE BROKE INTO THAT HOTEL SUITE AND FOUND THE ALLEGED GUNMAN DEAD, BY "APPARENT SUICIDE"

This was after they'd wasted 70 minutes going into ALL the other rooms off that hallway.

“Moving up to the 32nd floor,” an officer said on the radio about a half-hour into the attack."
For the next half-hour, the SWAT team prepared for the raid.

AS SOME COMMENTS QUERIED,

"Couldn't the authorities have saved a lot of time by using binoculars to check the outside of the hotel for the broken window which the shooter was using? That seems much quicker than searching room to room.

SWAT took 72 minutes to find the room after the first 911 call. That's a very long time under the circumstances.

Could they not see the holes in the windows and immediately know where he was? The holes are very obvious in all the pictures."

APPARENTLY, THEY WERE STILL LOOKING FOR "MULTIPLE SHOOTERS".  

FROM CBS NEWS:
An Iraq War veteran, Chris Bethel,
helped Las Vegas Police locate Paddock on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay.

Bethel, who was in Las Vegas for an IT conference and was staying just two floors beneath the shooter, told KTVT-TV in Dallas that he called the police after hearing shots:

“I could just hear the gun shots. Continuously. Just full automatic. There’s explosions going off. It was like, a bomb just went off man. And then there were more gun shots. I kept looking at the windows to see if I could see any kind of muzzle flash to see if I could see where the shooter was."

FULL AUTOMATIC?
EXPLOSIONS?


THEN WHAT ABOUT THE AIRED REPORT THAT "...he [PADDOCK] got into a gunfight with security and police. A security guard was shot in the leg, and they retreated to wait on SWAT."

YES, HE SHOT THROUGH THE DOOR AND A FRAGMENT OF A RICOCHETED BULLET HIT THE IN-HOUSE SECURITY GUARD IN THE LEG...NOT A "GUN BATTLE WITH POLICE".


~  FOURTH, AND MAYBE MOST INCREDIBLE, THIS WAS A 64-YEAR-OLD WHITE MALE, A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE, A MAN WHO WAS NOT KNOWN TO POSSESS ANYTHING BUT A HUNTING RIFLE, SHOTGUN AND HANDGUNS, ACCORDING TO FAMILY MEMBERS AND NEIGHBORS.

THEN THIS "ENORMOUS ARSENAL" IS FOUND.

From NY Daily News:


Eric said his brother was typically no fan of such weaponry. “Not an avid gun guy at all,” Eric Paddock told CBS News outside his home in Waterford Lakes, Fla. 
HE HAD NO CRIMINAL RECORD, NO MILITARY SERVICE, NO SPECIAL TRAINING IN WEAPONS, WAS WELL-KNOWN IN VEGAS AS A GAMBLER WHO FREQUENTLY STAYED IN LOCAL HOTELS TO GAMBLE.

AS WAS POINTED OUT IN A COMMENT REGARDING THE DIFFICULTY OF A 64-YEAR-OLD BEING ABLE TO DO THIS SINGLE-HANDEDLY:

"People who aren’t familiar with firearms have no idea how difficult it is to conduct sustained fire with an automatic weapon. It requires tremendous strength, endurance and training — something that Stephen Paddock had none of.

The official narrative that claims this elderly retired, flabby accountant just “snapped” and somehow picked up an automatic rifle and expertly laid down highly effective fields of automatic weapons fire for 10 minutes without pause is so insanely stupid as to be laughable."

HE WAS NOT POLITICALLY ACTIVE, WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH ANY 'PATRIOT GROUPS" OR ANTI-GOVERNMENT GROUPS, NO HISTORY OF BEING INVOLVED IN "DEMONSTRATIONS".

AT LEAST NOT UNTIL TODAY WHEN THE "COMPANY-OWNED" WASHINGTON POST AND THEN MEDIA ACROSS THE GLOBE PUBLISHED THE CLAIMS FROM 'QUESTIONABLE MEDIA' THAT THEY'D FOUND EVIDENCE HE WAS A DEMOCRAT WHO HAD TRAVELED TO THE MIDDLE EAST, MAY HAVE CONVERTED TO ISLAM AND THAT POLICE FOUND 'ANTIFA LITERATURE' IN THE ROOM.

HOW BLOODY CONVENIENT, YES?
A VIRTUAL "WISH LIST" COME TRUE!

AND ALL BECAUSE THOSE SHOT WERE COUNTRY MUSIC FANS WHOM MANY HAVE SAID ARE "ALMOST ALWAYS REPUBLICANS' ? 
WAKE UP, WORLDWIDE MEDIA, THE AMERICAN 'SOUTH' WAS FULL-BLOWN, 100% DEMOCRAT PARTY UNTIL THE MID-1960s.
MANY DEMOCRATS 'DIG' COUNTRY MUSIC.   


'ANTIFA LITERATURE FOUND WITH THE BODY' WAS A FAVORITE HEADLINE OF FAKE NEWS.  I HAD TO WONDER THAT SINCE HE PACKED HIS ANTIFA LITERATURE FOR THE TRIP TO COMMIT MASS MURDER, DID HE REMEMBER HIS SWIM FINS AND MAP OF ANTARCTICA MAYBE?
THAT MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS THE ABOVE RUMORS OF ANTIFA LITERATURE, MIDDLE EAST TRIPS, CONVERSION TO ISLAM AND CONNECTIONS TO ISIS.


Via NY Daily News:

…Paddock had no federal, state or local history with law enforcement before his Sunday night rampage that left 58 dead and more than 500 injured. “We had no knowledge of this individual,” said Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo. “We checked all the databases…”


HE HAD MADE HIS FORTUNE SPECULATING IN REAL ESTATE, HAD BEEN AN ACCOUNTANT, A SELF-PROCLAIMED PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER AND HAD WORKED FOR 3 YEARS AT LOCKHEED MARTIN IN AN UNDISCLOSED POSITION FOR JUST THREE YEARS IN THE 1980s.
HE HAD LIVED IN FLORIDA, TEXAS, CALIFORNIA, AND HAD RECENTLY MOVED TO NEVADA TO "RETIRE IN THE DESERT", HAD HOMES IN RENO AND IN MESQUITE, NEVADA.  

HE HAD NEVER HAD CONFLICT WITH NEIGHBORS, AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY DESCRIBE HIM AS "LAID-BACK, QUIET, EASY-GOING, BUT A BIT OF AN ODDBALL".  



~ FIFTH, THE INITIAL POLICE AND OTHER REPORTS GAVE 'SEVERAL', THEN 10, AND THEN 13 AS THE NUMBER OF WEAPONS FOUND IN THAT HOTEL ROOM, ONE 'MILITARY-STYLE ASSAULT RIFLE', THE END.

THAT HAS GROWN TO 18 AND THEN TO 23 WEAPONS, ALL BUT ONE BEING "ASSAULT WEAPONS" WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM BEING "ILLEGALLY MODIFIED" TO MAKE THEM 'FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS', SOMETHING NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN THE 9 ROUNDS PER SECOND HEARD ON MANY AUDIO RECORDINGS OF THE FIRING SEQUENCE.


MUCH WAS MADE IN THE PRESS LATER ABOUT THE RAPID FIRE, AND THE MSM BEGAN HIGHLIGHTING "15-SECOND PAUSES" TO SIGNIFY THE SHOOTER WAS RELOADING.

THEY HAVE BEEN DILIGENT IN PROVIDING READERS WITH WAYS A LONE GUNMAN MIGHT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS RAPID FIRE. 

RELOADING WOULD NOT STOP A GUN BARREL FROM BECOMING TOO HOT TO HANDLE AND 15 SECONDS SEEMS A BIT LONG TO SOME EXPERTS FOR JUST EXCHANGING MAGAZINES.  

IF THIS WAS A "LONE GUNMAN" HE WOULD EITHER NEED MULTIPLE PRE-LOADED, RAPID-FIRE WEAPONS OR A WAY TO CHANGE BARRELS AS WELL SO HE COULD CONTINUE FIRING. 

SIMPLY HAVING EVEN 100 LOADED MAGAZINES WOULD NOT PULL THIS OFF, SAY MANY  EX-MILITARY EXPERTS. THE BARRELS WOULD STILL GET TOO HOT.

WELL, NOW, WE'RE TOLD POLICE FOUND FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS?

REALLY?

WHY WASN'T THAT REPORTED INITIALLY?

WOULDN'T HE HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH SUCH WEAPONS NEAR HIM?
IF HE WAS USING "MACHINE GUNS" THEY'D BE RIGHT OUT IN PLAIN VIEW WHEN THE SWAT TEAM BROKE IN, YES?


IN "LEAKED VIDEO AND PHOTOS" OF THE ROOM AND THE BODY, WE DON'T SEE "MACHINE GUNS.


~ SIXTH POINT TO CONSIDER: MULTIPLE SURVIVING CONCERT-GOERS HAVE TOLD MEDIA THAT ALL EXITS WERE BLOCKED FROM THE CONCERT.
WHY? 
ONE MAN SAID THEY REACHED A GATE GUARDED BY A POLICEMAN WHO TOLD THEM TO GET BACK TO THE ARENA.  

'TODAY' REPORTED:

"From Fox News, a caller named Russell Bleck, who survived the shooting, said live on air, “There were ten-foot walls blocking us in. We couldn’t escape. It was just a massacre. We had nowhere to go.”

In addition, once the shooting started, the stage lights were turned to the crowd, lighting up the crowd and making them an easier target for the shooter(s).

"One witness described the situation as “being caught like a rat in a maze” with numerous “dead ends.”

In essence, the concert trapped the people, preventing them from escaping, and denying them the ability to seek cover. From there, sustained, full-auto gunfire is almost impossible to survive."


~ SEVENTH, AND LAST, AS ONE JOURNALIST HAS ASKED, "According to news reports, the shooter — identified as Stephen Paddock — had as many as 10 firearms in his room, including several rifles. If he was the only shooter, what’s the point of having so many rifles? One man can obviously only shoot one rifle, and since he had a full auto rifle, he could obviously achieve his evil aims by focusing on his one rifle. There was no need for him to have multiple rifles. 
Why [AND HOW?] would one elderly man carry 8 – 10 weapons to a hotel room in the first place?"

BUT NOW THE COUNT IS 23 RIFLES?
EVEN THE 18 REPORTED HOURS AFTER IT WAS ALL OVER? 
WHY AND HOW DID HE DO IT SINGLE-HANDEDLY INDEED? 
ONE MIGHT AGREE HE'D NEED AT LEAST 4 TO 6 WEAPONS TO AVOID OVERHEATED BARRELS, BUT 23?   

WE'RE TOLD THEY FOUND THAT 'GRAND TOTAL' OF 23 SUCH WEAPONS IN THAT ROOM, ONE MUST ASK HOW HE MANAGED TO GET THAT MANY LARGE WEAPONS AND THEIR LOADED MAGAZINES PAST SECURITY WHEN HE DIDN'T GET THE ROOM HE WANTED UNTIL SATURDAY.

WHY WERE TWO WINDOWS BROKEN OUT, TWO WINDOWS SPACED QUITE A DISTANCE APART ON OPPOSITE CORNERS OF THAT AREA OF THE HOTEL?
WAS HE RUNNING FROM WINDOW TO WINDOW?

THAT CAN'T BE SINCE THERE IS ALMOST NO PAUSE IN THE FIRING DURING THE TIME PEOPLE WERE BEING SHOT BELOW.

AS HAS BEEN POINTED OUT BY MANY: "Why is the span between the two broken windows 10 windows apart?"

ASIDE FROM THAT QUESTION, WOULDN'T A SHOOTER PICK THE BEST ANGLE AND STAY WITH IT, NOT RUN BACK AND FORTH?

IF THIS ELDERLY MAN WAS THE SHOOTER AND HAD DECIDED TO DO THIS AND THEN KILL HIMSELF, WHY TAKE ALMOST 2 DOZEN WEAPONS WITH HIM AND 'MODIFY' ONLY HALF OF THEM?

WHY TAKE IN WEAPONS HE WOULD NOT BE USING, IF INDEED THEY HAVE NOW 'FOUND' FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPONS HE ALLEGEDLY USED TO DO THIS DEED?

WHY RISK BEING CAUGHT DRAGGING A DOZEN WEAPONS TO A SHOOTING THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO USE?

WHY TAKE IN AMMUNITION FOR UNUSED WEAPONS?

WHAT PURPOSE DID THAT "SMALL AMOUNT OF AMMONIUM NITRATE" THAT HAS ALSO NOW BEEN "FOUND" SERVE, SITTING IN THE TRUNK OF HIS CAR?

MAYBE THAT WAS JUST YARD/GARDEN FERTILIZER?

AND WHY THE 32nd FLOOR?

A LOWER FLOOR WOULD HAVE PROVIDED THE SHOOTER A BETTER CHANCE OF KILLING MORE PEOPLE AS WOULD SOMEPLACE CLOSER, LIKE THE LUXOR HOTEL NEXT TO THE MANDALAY BAY, THE LUXOR WHICH IS DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CONCERT ARENA. 

PADDOCK HAD STAYED AT THE LUXOR DURING A PREVIOUS CONCERT AND HAD ASKED FOR A ROOM WITH A VIEW OF THE FAIRGROUNDS.


WHY DID THE RESPONDERS/LAW ENFORCEMENT WAIT OVER 8 HOURS TO BEGIN REMOVING BODIES FROM THE SCENE? 

SO THAT MEDIA COULD GET BETTER DAYTIME SHOTS OF THE REMOVALS? 

SO THE "OFFICIAL BODY COUNT", WHICH STARTED WITH JUST 2 DEAD AND WOUND UP AT 58, COULD BE 'EYE-WITNESSED' BY VIEWERS?

THAT SEEMED NOT ONLY CRUEL TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE VICTIMS, BUT ALSO HIGHLY UNUSUAL.

A POST TO SOCIAL MEDIA FROM SOMEONE CLAIMING TO BE WITH 'ANTIFA, MELBOURNE' STATED THAT THE SHOOTER WAS AN ANTIFA "COMRADE" AND THAT THIS WAS "ONLY THE BEGINNING".

THEN ISIS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY STATING THAT THIS ELDERLY MAN WAS A RECENT "MUSLIM CONVERT" ACTING FOR ISIS.
Via Reuters:

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a shooting that killed at least 50 people and wounded over 400 in Las Vegas early on Monday, and said the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.

“The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition,” the group’s news agency Amaq said in reference to the U.S.-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.

“The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago,” Amaq added.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAD ALREADY STATED TO THE MEDIA THAT PADDOCK WAS NOT 'RELIGIOUSLY AFFILIATED'.

HIS GIRLFRIEND IS A FILIPINA WOMAN CURRENTLY VACATIONING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

IT WOULD SEEM FROM THAT, THAT IF HE WERE GOING TO "CONVERT" TO ANYTHING IT MIGHT BE TO HER RELIGION?
SHE IS NOT A MUSLIM.

WAS PADDOCK MERELY A VICTIM HIMSELF?

HAD HE BEEN TAKEN PRISONER BY OTHERS WHO USED HIM AND THEN KILLED HIM AND LEFT HIM BEHIND TO COVER THEIR TRAIL?

SINCE HE WAS A WELL-KNOWN VISITOR TO VEGAS CASINOS, A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE, ISN'T IT AT LEAST POSSIBLE HE BECAME A TARGETED VICTIM?

I ASK BECAUSE THIS SEEMS SO TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE AS HANDED TO US BY MSM.
THIS PARTICULAR ELDERLY MAN JUST DOES NOT SEEM CAPABLE OF ACTING ALONE IN THIS, OR AT ALL.
I THINK THE REAL KILLER, OR AT LEAST AN ACCOMPLICE IS STILL OUT THERE.

THAT HE HAD A LARGE GUN COLLECTION IS NOTHING UNUSUAL.

MANY PEOPLE HAVE MANY MORE WEAPONS THAN IS REPORTED PADDOCK HAD.

PEOPLE COLLECT ODD THINGS, SOME PREFER FIREARMS.

I EVEN HAVE "ELDERLY" FEMALE FRIENDS WHO BUY WEAPONS EVERY MONTH OR SO.

THEY ARE NOT DANGEROUS PEOPLE AND NOT 'MILITANTS' OR 'ACTIVISTS', THEY SIMPLY ENJOY COLLECTING GUNS, MUCH AS I ENJOY COLLECTING WEAPONS WITH BLADES. 

WE SIMPLY SEE THEM AS ART, AS INVESTMENTS, EVEN AS SOMETHING TO PASS ON TO OUR GRANDCHILDREN.

COLLECTING THINGS DOES NOT MAKE YOU ANYTHING BUT A COLLECTOR. 

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo AGREES it does NOT seem possible this particular man acted all alone.

He had to have some help at some point," Lombardo said. "Maybe he’s a superguy.… maybe he’s a super yahoo, was working out all this on his own, but it would be hard for me to believe that."


NOTHING ADDS UP ABOUT THIS.
NOTHING. 
PADDOCK HAD NO MOTIVE, NO TRAINING, WAS NOT AFFILIATED WITH 'RADICAL GROUPS' OR EVEN ACTIVISTS OF EITHER POLITICAL PARTY AND HE WAS 64 YEARS OLD.

HE WENT TO VEGAS, HE GAMBLED AT THE CASINO, HE ORDERED AN EXPENSIVE CHEESEBURGER AND A BAGEL AND THEN HE GOT UP, WALKED TO A WINDOW, SHOT OVER 600 PEOPLE IN 10 MINUTES AND THEN KILLED HIMSELF.

LIKE THE SHERIFF SAID, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT.

~ Immediately after Paddock's identity emerged, Marilou Danley's brother Reynaldo Bustos, who lives in Manila, called his sister.
'She said: "Relax, we shouldn't worry about it. I'll fix it. Do not panic. I have a clean conscience",' he told ABC News.

Meanwhile Danley's sisters in Australia said in a Seven News interview that they believe she couldn't have known about Paddock's murderous plans, and that he must have sent her away so she wouldn't 'interfere'.

"Conflicting data clouds narrative for Las Vegas massacre "


~ Newsweek has since retracted a report they published late Tuesday saying that Marilou - a Philippines native - had once been married to two men at the same time and used two social security numbers during her two decades in the US.


~ Paddock was prescribed fifty 10mg diazepam tablets - also known as Valium - on June 21 by Vegas doctor Steven Winkler, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Staff at Dr Winkler's office would not confirm to the Review-Journal if Paddock had been a patient, and said the doctor would not be answering questions.


~ Jill Snyder, the special agent in charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, told "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday that Paddock purchased 33 firearms, mostly rifles, between October 2016 and Thursday, three days before he opened fire on a concert crowd.

Snyder said authorities wouldn't get notified of the purchase of rifles but would get notified if there was a multiple sale of two or more handguns in one purchase.

Snyder said Paddock had rigged 12 semiautomatic rifles with devices that allowed the guns to fire like an automatic weapon.

~ SOME MEDIA HAVE STATED PADDOCK HAD A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH ALL SORTS OF ANTI-TRUMP POSTS, BUT HIS BROTHER SAYS THAT'S NOT TRUE.
 

THE L.A. TIMES INTERVIEW WITH ERIC PADDOCK, THE ALLEGED SHOOTER'S BROTHER.


"He didn’t have a lot of friends," Paddock continued. "He was a private person. There’s a story about that he’s, ‘ohhhh, he kept his shades closed, and he didn’t talk to me for the first three times he saw me walking in the neighborhood.’ Wow. That makes him really weird, doesn’t it?
He was a private guy. That’s why you can’t find out anything about him, that’s why there’s no pictures.
Is he such a weirdo because he didn’t have a Facebook page and posted 50,000 damn pictures of himself every day? Who’s weird?"
