Las Vegas: Active shooter reported near Mandalay Bay

[edpc]

Well, well, well, no security guard on Hannity as advertised and no mention of said security guard. FBI probably nixed it.

Or Hannity was over promising and under delivering.

Hey. He's a street fighter, you know.

[austingirl]

Or Hannity was over promising and under delivering.

I actually watched tonight just to see the security guard. Lots of hype about this. How embarrassing and to say nothing? Just wow.

OK, give us the ology, @bigheadfred.

Ask him to wash his hands first...

CNN's legal team going after impostor CNN site after fake story runs of security guard being Paddock's co-conspirator

When it comes to “fake news,” even CNN has its limits.

And apparently, pretending you’re CNN while running a made-up story about a Las Vegas security guard being arrested for complicity in Stephen Paddock’s brutal rampage is a bridge too far.

On Thursday, an article by a website called “CNN International” made the rounds by claiming that security guard Jesus Campos, who was wounded prior to the mass shooting, was actually a Paddock co-conspirator.

Yeah, that thing we discussed the other day.

Yup, I hate to admit it but they fooled me 

[mountaineer]

Just saw this on Twitter: a guy went to the Mandalay Bay to get answers to his own questions about the shooting. He's now been banned from the premises. He shares his findings in a series of comments.

8. I had clear view of Paddocks room, concert & fuel tanks

Shooter didnt need 2nd window to shoot people & fuel tanks

Why break 2 windows?

6. There are visible surveillance cameras in all service elevators.

There was no reason for Paddock to use these to get around security.

[edpc]

The question about the windows is easily answered.  The inboard room angle had a slightly obstructed sight line due to lighting and large screens around the stage area.  He was probably anticipating crowd movement once shooting began.  Since the airport fence was on the far side of the field, it limited directions of egress.

I wonder if we'll get another presser-ever.

I wonder if we'll get another presser-ever.

The way they've been going, I wonder if we'd find one of any use?  Really, if they're just going to keep muddying the waters, there's no purpose being served.

I wonder if we'll get another presser-ever.

I hope not...until everything is sorted out .  But then again, I'm sure there will be things we will never know.

Unless muddying the waters is the purpose, possibly to keep the liability profile low.

[Cyber Liberty]

Ja.  That means a couple pressers any time now.

[austingirl]

I was thinking how odd the crime scene photos were so quickly leaked, and no leaks since. The WH could use the services of the leak stopper.

There's a huge purpose being served.

It's part of the investigation... information is always withheld, and false information is disseminated. 

• If there's a suspect at large, you can get them to let down their guard.
• People will construct stories around what they think you know.  Then you catch them when their story doesn't match reality.
• You can confirm real witnesses when they give information that was withheld from the public.
• Etc.

These are very basic police investigative techniques.

I suspect they're trying to confirm there was no other suspect(s) involved.

It seems like the White House leaks have quieted down since Bannon was shown the door. Is that a coincidence?

[edpc]

Preibus, too.  Hard to say who was leakier.

Las Vegas guard Jesus Campos vanished after visiting urgent-care clinic, union leader says
Fox News

The Mandalay Bay security guard who disappeared last week moments before he was scheduled to break his silence in television interviews has not been seen since he went to a walk-in health clinic, his union president said.

David Hickey of the Security, Police, and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) told reporters Friday that he got a text the night before saying Jesus Campos was taken to a UMC Quick Care facility, though he did not specify where or whom the text came from.

I would think he's hiding out; for his own safety or to not address this issue.

[TomSea]

He's probably hiding out somewhere, sort of like George Zimmerman did, I believe. Just getting away from it all, possibly in a place where he is well-protected. That's what I think.

Maybe he's visiting Alex Jones.
(Just kidding).

Seriously, I hope he's ok.

[austingirl]

The guard, Jesus Campos, is either kept under wraps by the casino or the feds. Funny that they let the maintenance man give a televised interview. I have not lost interest in this case even though the media has.

My guess is that the guy is an illegal alien and he was told to shut up and go away by the Mob because the Casinos do not need media attention brought to bear on whom they have as staff.

At the least this event sets the tone that your average white retiree with a lot of guns and no reason to do so CAN and WILL go on a rampage at any time.

True - as long as no reason is known.

It is too late for a motive to come flying sideways out of the weeds.
