Las Vegas shooting: Reports of shooter at Mandalay Bay Casino

[Marion Morrison]

It's been reported he lost a shit ton of money at the same hotel he did the shooting from.

A link would be nice.

It was something I heard on the news on the radio on the way home from class. If you look at many of the sites that have background information on him, you see that lots of people say he had told them he was a professional gambler. His brother even talked on camera about how he would play high stakes video poker to get comps in Vegas, and that he sent him a picture of winning $40,000 on a poker machine.

^None of that supports what you said.

Do you need 'splained to you how this works?

Telling people you are a professional gambler, and telling your brother you play high stakes poker just for comps, doesn't support the report?

Do you understand how dumb it is for a person to tell someone they do high stakes gambling for comps?

"Hey I'm going to bet shit tons of money so I can get a free $10 buffet and a couple hundred dollar a night hotel room!"

If he told people that, it shows he lacked rational thinking skills, and that if the reports on the radio are true, he would a hard time coping with that.

Still 100% rhetoric from you thus far. Not particularly convincing.

She may be in tokyo, but I still think he had a female helper that has not been caught yet that was in that room with him. And his gf in japan knew about it and helped the planning.

Just my opinion, mind you.

Why a woman? If the conspiracy is two shooters for the two tripods in two windows, I would think another man.

The woman shot the man and escaped?

Because she was seen and heard 45 minutes prior to the first shots fired telling people they were going to die that night. I think it takes longer than 45 minutes to get to japan. So, who was the other short, brown woman yelling this just before the murder spree began?

Oh that woman. From the descriptions I have seen she was a drunk or drugged out space case who probably tells people that EVERY day. Totally worthless as a conspirator. She probably could not even tie her shoes.

Good thing I'm not here to impress you then huh?

I was simply sharing information that was shared on the news over the radio. Maybe you should do some research and find that gambling was a serious part of the guy's life.

"And Paddock did well financially, first as an accountant or auditor (at one point for Lockheed Martin), then buying, selling and managing properties, and finally, in retirement, as a “professional gambler” (his term) who, according to a Washington Post report, would take frequent trips to Las Vegas with Danley to play high-stakes poker."

"“My brother is not like you and me,” Eric Paddock told the Post. “He sends me a text that says he won $250,000 at the casino.”"

Over 1 hour from windows breaking to Police blowing door to find him dead. Good thing they have a lot of cameras.....anyone coming and going before 10PM or after last shots fired?

TIMELINE OF TERROR IN VEGAS:
Country music star Jason Aldean was performing on stage at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival when lone gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire on the 22,000 people gathered.

About 10pm: Paddock smashes out two windows on the 32nd floor with a hammer-like implement and opens fire with his arsenal of at least 19 weapons - including fully automatic weapons.

10.08pm: First phone call to police that shots had been fired at the festival outside the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

11.08pm: Las Vegas police confirm they have shut down a portion of The Strip

11.20pm: SWAT teams storm the 32nd floor room that Stephen Paddock was firing from. They gained entry using flashbangs designed to stun the shooter. Officers entered the room and found he had taken his own life. Seventy-two minutes elapsed from the first 911 call to Paddock being found dead.

6.30am: Investigators say they have located Marilou Danley and say that she is overseas and is not longer a person of interest.

No link. Just personal opinion.

One does not just gather sophisticated electronic equipment, a couple of weapon stands, and automatic weapons along with a thousand or so rounds of ammo overnight or as a whim.

This was a long-term, thought out operation established by a military mind. Everything we've learned about this piece of scum does not provide one bit of direction for him being capable of doing this on his own. Who taught him or guided him in this? Who laid out the tactics? Who helped him find a fire base and fire zone?

I think some very dark things will be uncovered. I just wonder if the authorities will release it. Or cover it up like they have in the past.

Oddly, CNN reported two different things about how he died. They reported several times that he shot himself as they were making a dynamic entry into his room. Then a guy came on and said that when they did their dynamic entry he rushed the door, shot one of the officers, and then was killed by the SWAT team.

So... who knows at this point which it is.

Yep, a friend on Facebook was blaming this on Trump for easing the laws on Mentally ill people getting approved to buy guns.

I told him I blame the FBI more for not having this guy on their radar from stockpiling so many guns, ammunitions, and buying large amounts of ammonium nitrate and the other explosive compound he had.

That would make him a white supremacist like you

Still no motive but more details on an unconventional life...

You sure are confused.

It's been reported he lost a shit ton of money at the same hotel he did the shooting from.

"shit ton" is subjective. It also gets you MAJOR COMPS.

 

[OnePercenter]

There's like TOO MUCH evidence against a guy with zero motive.

Look at his family pedigree. He had one fucked-up Father.

 

[depotoo]

He stated from having served 3 tours in Iraq on the ground, that the type weapons he heard in video could not be handled simultaneously.

Someone I know that served 3 tours on the ground, and heard the shots said 2 weapons were going at once, a 30 and 100 drum. Said it is impossible to fire both those at the same time.

Not particularly difficult. Depends upon the type of the weapon.

A reasonable person doesn't play high stakes to get comps. They pay for it and move on. I used to get big comps from a casino I used to gamble at... and it certainly was a perk, but not something you should play to get.

I talked to some of the pit bosses and you'd be amazed at what your average bet over an hour has to be to get things like hotel rooms comped to you. Smart people eventually learn the tricks of the trade and only bump their bet when they see the pit boss coming around to update your player card. This shooter couldn't do that however, as his brother talked about how he played electronic poker where you insert your player's card in it, and it keeps a more detailed history of his bets.

Some experts believe that some types of mental illness may be genetic, though he hadn't showed any signs and had to go through testing to maintain his pilot's license.

Is there a massive "paperwork trail" with every Gun purchase by serial number? Ammo purchases in bulk? Scopes? Stands? If this is real, this guy would have many transactions?
