IIRC, the story about his room being accessed while he was away has not been confirmed, per one of the recent official briefings.

Here you go — now we have a motive!

Well, that settles it right there, doesn't it?

No one will say a thing.

A fire alarm was set off by the explosive breach.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/l...f-bullet-trajectory/

Officer Dave Newton from the Las Vegas Police Department's K-9 unit said he noticed a note on the shooter's nightstand once officers breached the room. He said the note was located near one of the windows that Paddock had smashed with a hammer to fire onto the crowd below with high-powered semi-automatic rifles outfitted to increase their rate of fire.

"I could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was gonna be for the crowd," Newton said. "So he had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there."

Newton told Whitaker what it was like to enter the room amid the flashing lights of a fire alarm set off by an explosive used to blow through the door.

"Very eerie. Yeah, the dust from the explosive breach. And then you have the flashing lights," Newton said. "And that looked straight, like, out of a movie, you know?"

Tanya, a Chechen ninja with a prostitute husband, got a bad tip from a Russian soldier that a bump stock in the middle east would make them superstar American Ninja Worriers in Las Vegas. They've been paranoid ever since.

What about Tanya's illegitimate five-year-old son she had with a dashing Russian Navy Commander? You left that part out.......

Well, another chapter in "Another Stupid Facebook Posting Fiasco":

"The owner of a vegan food truck in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, was forced to shut down her business and go into hiding after receiving blowback from a Facebook post celebrating the fate of the “fifty nine meat eaters” who died in last week’s mass shooting in Las Vegas.
The Mother Nature Vegan Cuisine food truck is now out of business after the owner, Delinda Jensen, 60, drew massive criticism for posting an October 2 message to Facebook reading, “Yes I am jaded. Fifty nine meat eaters dead. How many animals will live because of this?” ...

"....The former food truck owner ultimately said that she is now scared to go outside, despite her apology for the posting, because so many people attacked her for her post celebrating the murder of “meat eaters.”

After the continued rebuke from Facebook visitors, Jensen put an end to her food truck business, put her bright green vehicle into a secret storage facility to shield it from irate customers, and then deleted her social media accounts. She also installed security cameras at her home."


I swear, stupid people and Facebook/Twitter just don't mix.

You reap what you sew

One of the best things about social media, it makes it easier to expose the stupid people out there.

They've always made themselves known, they just expose themselves to a much larger audience now which magnifies the consquences and allows them to last longer. Social Media is the Viagra of stupid people.

LVMP / FBI are sure slow with this one, knowing the anticipation of the entire country. I’m a little surprised by the lack of consistent press conferences, even just to say “no new info” or mention “we have leads and are analyzing to ensure accuracy”. Overall, they are handling it like garbage from a PR standpoint, further contributing to all the wild spinoff conspiracies.

Insanity is a legal term. Medically, it is too broad a term to be of significant value to those who like to encapsulate human beings. It can include sociopaths, psychopaths and compulsive nail biters.

As President Trump mentioned shortly after the incident, "evil" best describes the LV offender. Evil knows no boundaries, it can be exercised just for fun or with regard to an ulterior motive. It is both a means and an end in itself.

I will not be amazed if a "motive" was never found to describe the shooting. There are so many others like that pos-LV-human-waste out there.

Guessing this guy is CEO of Mandalay Bay

A week after a gunman used the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas hotel as a hunting perch to kill 58 people in what is the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, casino magnate Steve Wynn says the gunman was known to staff, seemed like “a rational man,” and that beefing up security, re-training staff and implementing strict “do not disturb” rules are key to keeping visitors safe.

Wynn, the billionaire CEO of Wynn Resorts, in an exclusive interview with “Fox News Sunday,” said he reassessed his casino’s security in 2015, when he developed a high-level counterterrorism program.

“I got every consultant and adviser I can think of to come through from Ray Kelly to the people from Seal Team 6. It took us from Thanksgiving until May to develop and institute and recruit a program of counterterrorism and it will be two years this May,” Wynn told Chris Wallace.

“Basically we had to recruit and expand security by tens of millions of dollars to cover every entrance, to retrain the entire workforce -- from housekeeping and room service -- and people are in the tower and observing people. We had to cover every exit and every aspect of the building to see if we could identify and preempt any kind of terroristic or violent action. It is never perfect, of course, but what you can do, to use local vernacular: you can change the odds,” Wynn said.

The Las Vegas gunman, Stephen Paddock, reportedly was holed up in his suite at the Mandalay Bay for three days, instituting a type of “do not disturb” policy that Wynn says would have alerted his Wynn Resorts staff to investigate.

“We also have rules about do not disturb,” Wynn said. “If a room goes on do not disturb for more than 12 hours, we investigate. We constantly -- we don't allow guns in this building unless they're being carried by our employees and there's a lot of them. But if anybody's got a gun and we find them continually, we eject them from the hotel.”

Wynn also said Stephen Paddock and his girlfriend were well-known to his staff.

“He's been staying in Las Vegas since ‘06. So you know, we're talking about 11 years with his girlfriend or at least in recent years, frequent visitor, once or twice a month, to this hotel and others. The most vanilla profile one could possibly imagine. A modest gambler at least by our standards, you know, nothing serious, paid promptly, never owed any money anywhere in Las Vegas. He didn't fit the profile of a problem or compulsive gambler.”

When asked whether he had a motive regarding Paddock’s murderous rampage, Wynn suggested that his previous behavior suggested the gunman was “a rational man.”

“This is a man who behaved rationally, privately, a little introverted, liked to play video poker. But he was a rational man. And every historical review of his behavior indicates that he was a rational man so was his girlfriend. And yet he prepared over an extended period of time, a totally irrational act.

“Now, this sounds like someone either totally demented -- a behavior which he never evidenced -- or someone who's sending a message. This is a plan. We don't know what that message is or if there is one, but this behavior, according to my employees, is as stunning, as unexpected as anybody, any of them have ever met. And that's the status, you know, that I hear from the sheriff, and watching television that seems to be the moment -- the momentary analysis of this situation. I really don't have anything to add to that.”

Go back, Steve. You wandered off the path. When you were talking about how the guy behaved when in your casino and when interacting with your staff, you knew what you were talking about, but when you start with this "message" shit, you're simply talking out of your ass.

Yeah Everybody wants to be a shrink. Practicing Clinical Psychology without a license. The stuff he said earlier made sense, although it consisted of a lot of damage control for the casino industry.

Nope. Steve Wynn is not CEO, nor part owner, at least not in any meaningful way. He is a competitor, the Wynn of Wynn Resorts, the CEO, Chairman and founder. Surprisingly, he is not a “major” shareholder.

That's a shitty policy Mr. Wynn. Really shitty.
Hotel room = Domicile.
