Was standing on a chair. From room to room. That is why the delay in between rounds. Had to reload the clips and went back n forth from room to room hence the 2 windows. Will confirm later.

fuk the media is re tar dedComment -
Windows were floor to ceiling
The shooter concealed himself by standing back 6ft
This is part of his evil genius.
As his brother says...Comment -
i think the delays were more associated with moving to the next room, stoppin for a drink of his favorite cocktail, checking the hall cameras he set up....
only takes about ten seconds to change clips....
also, lombardino gave us info that several of the twelve bump stock ar's had jammed ..... he probably fukked around with the jammed guns for a five to six seconds before grabbin the next ar in line.... changin clips generally takes no time....Comment -
yeah watching the video of the tour of the suite the guy was in there is definitely a few items he could drag around and then securely stand on or lay on.Comment -
If they quickly figured where it was coming from, and with the window totally out, couldn't they have sniped him from another building or maybe from a helicopter? Maybe crazy, just wondering.Comment -
If he was closer he would’ve done much more damageComment -
if this is ruled even if incorrect as massive death due to compulsive gambling the republican lawmaker wackos will have more reason to protect the family and take away short term shot at expansion of legal gambling freedoms we should have in America.Comment -
in addition to shooting out the 1,000,000 jiggowat beam on the luxor, i'd have thrown the fukkin' overpriced minibar right out the hole in the window, laughing all the while that they weren't gonna get paid for that shit.....
maybe even hit a few pedestrians below, or landed it on the cab of that idiot takin' all the video right underneath him.....
was talkin' to my youngest son today about all this, and he reminded me of the time he and I, while playing two player on grand theft auto san andreas, holed up together in a parking garage with unlimited ammo and fully automatics (helicopters couldnt get us, and the street cops/cars/tanks couldn't reach us), and shot away for about an hour and killed/blew up every f'n cop/swat team in vegas, laffing our asses off at the carnage.....
we finally ran out into the streets at the highest wanted level because we finally grew board of killing thousands of cops.....
nothing like a good father-son bonding activity......Comment -
One thing I don't get is that he only shot for 10 minutes or so, but the police didn't get to his room for over an hour. Doesn't make sense. Somebody here said that he shot a security guard and thought the cops were on to him, so he off'ed himself right away. If that was the case, the security guard knew where he was, so why did it take so long for the SWAT team to get there? I would think it woulda been just a few minutes, but it was actually 45+ minutes. I guess the SWAT team isn't suited up and ready to go already, but if there is an active shooter in a situation like this, there is no way police can wait 45 minutes to get in his room. Could he have really used all him ammo in 10 minutes?Comment -
now they are saying he planned to escape possiblyComment -
i said that, and lombardo just confirmed my theory during the press conference..... swat team and assembled team wanted no part of that interhallway straffing paddock hand unleashed on the security gaurd.....
lombardino used the lack of additional gunfire from the room, and the alleged clearing of every other room on that wing of the 32nd floor, as the reason those pussies didn't go in sooner.....
vegas cops are real tough and quick when they're stuffin' a gun to the back of of the head of an unarmed guy like michael bennett, but a bit more squeamish and afraid when a guy has a gun and may shoot back......Comment -
The first shots were fired at 10:05 and the police were on the 32nd floor at 10:17. It does say they were clearing out rooms and I guess waiting for more officers to plan their attack on the gunman.

Apparently he was gambling in the casino just hours before the same day. What is that about. What's the point.Comment -
definitely not going to be shooting back in that situation.
However, some people knew exactly where it was coming from after the first wave or two of bullets. In my posts a 2-3pages ago I quoted a link that has a video with people pointing at the hotel. One lady in particular is pointing seemingly at the exact spot the shooting was coming from. It is like she is looking right at the guy as he fires, she doesn't duck or anything. Also, some drunk idiot in the same video doesn't duck at first and instead gives the shooter double middle-fingers.Comment -
to give people the chills, and to let the general public know that any of us degenerate gamblers could, at any given point in time, come "unhinged" and start mass murdering people.....
between you and me, that's why i never ever take firearms to the casino..... i have wanted on several occasions to shoot up a bank of slot machines..... if i'd had 23 automatic rifles up in my suite, it's safe to say that last Cheshire Cat I played and a few Pussy Glitter machines would definitely be lobbying for stricter gun control........Comment -
And it is crazy the ones standing up staring and flippin the bird were fine....Comment -
I think all of the rounds already had a pre-planned flight pattern....so it was just the luck or unluck of the draw if you will..Comment -
He was there to play, not to party. The night before the shooting, Mr. Paddock made two complaints to the hotel about noise coming from his downstairs neighbors: Albert Garzon, a restaurant owner visiting from San Diego, and his wife and friends. Mr. Garzon, who was staying in 31-135, directly beneath Mr. Paddock, said security guards knocked on his door around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday and asked him to turn down his music, country songs. When he asked where the complaint was coming from, pointing out that the nearest rooms on either side were far away, the security guard said, “It’s the guest above you.”
They turned the music down, but had another visit from different security guards half an hour later. The man had called to complain again. Mr. Garzon turned the music off. It wasn’t until the early hours of Monday that Mr. Garzon realized Mr. Paddock had been the complainer.

Also, a lot of the victims were all in the same vicinity to each other in many places. A few reasons for that. 1. A lot of people ran to the initially shot victims and then were shot due to being in the similar vicinity. 2. None of the people who ran immediately jumping over walls were hit.Comment
