Las Vegas: Active shooter reported near Mandalay Bay

[austingirl]

5 handguns, lots of ammo and many unspecified electronic devices found in Reno home.

Per sheriff girlfriend is in Philippines and she is a person of interest. Looking into how the photos of Paddock's dead body were leaked.

Someone on the after action forensic team, most likely. Places like The Enquirer, TMZ, and others pay a premium for stuff like this. Hard for someone to resist the temptation. The shooter had positioned cameras inside and outside the room. Probably wirelessly hooked up to a laptop inside. If there was any video captured on that HDD, you can expect that may leak as well.

I think you're right. Looks like they are taking a hard look at the girlfriend.

Breaking, police are saying the gunman may have been planning an earlier attack, to go after the Life is Beautiful festival instead. He tried to get rooms overlooking that festival before getting the rooms for this one.

IE, the target wasn't who the target was (ie Country fans and the stereotypes that come with it), but the target that fit the opportunity.

I bet the fired legal VP from CBS would've felt sympathy for that crowd.

Idiot.

Police also found the fertilizer ammonium nitrate - which can be used to make bombs - in Paddock's car in Las Vegas on Monday.

How much? That is the question. If they found 200 pounds, that is one thing, if they found a little bit, that could be just a tannerite component. BTW, ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil) is a common mining explosive, but only about 40% as strong as an equal weight of TNT. It takes a lot to be destructive at any distance. Tim McVeigh had a truckload of the stuff.

Between this and Tom Petty I'm seriously sad. Beyond sad

Also, it was in a truck that was sandbagged to focus and optimize the effect.

Las Vegas Shooter Wired $100,000 to Philippines Last Week

Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock wired $100,000 to an account in his live-in girlfriend’s home country of the Philippines in the week before he unleashed the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, according to multiple senior law enforcement officials.

But while officials have confirmed that Marilou Danley was in the Philippines on Sunday when Paddock opened fire on a crowd attending a country music festival on the Vegas Strip, it was not known whether the money was for her, her family, or another purpose.

Danley, 62, who had traveled to Hong Kong on Sept. 25, could fill in some of the blanks when she returns to the U.S. on Wednesday, the officials said. Her arrival airport was not known.
[...]

Excerpt.

One of the early posts I made was from a Facebook profile of her husband Geary Danley (no divorce), who is an ardent liberal. At the time he was a possibility for the shooter, but was soon cleared of being involved (she has been hanging with Paddock). Any which way, I'd bet there is more to this all than face value.

Was her marriage to Geary one of those to get her US Citizenship/permanent residency? Such arrangements are known to occur (I was once offered 10K to marry a nurse from the Philippines to allow her to stay in country. I declined).

The Geary guy was married to a woman with the same name, but not the same person. It is one of those early hoaxes/mistakes that just won't die.

New revelation. He videotaped himself during the shooting and the police have the recordings.

Not that crowd specifically, but any crowd? That takes this back into terrorism, independent of domestic political disputes or stereotypical crowd profiles.

Maybe the images have been mixed up, but they even look alike.

And there is this:

Danley, who was identified as Paddock's girlfriend, was married in 1990 to Geary Danley. There is no record of a divorce between the two, while Paddock divorced his wife 27 years ago.

>snip<
Paddock used Danley's ID when he checked himself into the hotel according to a source with knowledge of the investigation, despite the fact that she was not with him during his stay. 

Paddock and Danley live in a upscale community that includes an 18-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a recreation center with gym.

I think you're right. Looks like they are taking a hard look at the girlfriend.

Maybe she left the country as an alibi.  It's not hard to have the video stored to a laptop and have that data copied to the internet.  If she knows what she's doing she could log into that laptop from the PI and delete the footprints.

[ABX]

Just bumping this again. We need to hear more about the Jonathans of the world and give them as much coverage.

[Hoodat]

Just a heads-up... some of the lines the Left is starting to push with this:

"Conservatives say this murderer had a RIGHT to own a gun,
but the people he hit don't have a RIGHT to healthcare."

The murderer had a right TO OWN a gun.

The people have a right TO OWN healthcare.

-------------

The murderer did not have a right to a gun (i.e. supplied at the expense of someone else).

The people do not have a right to health care (i.e. supplied at the expense of someone else at the point of a gun)

"Some of the heroes who protected others and took bullets themselves might have to go bankrupt because of our healthcare system."

Only the ones stuck with Obamacare policies and their huge deductibles.

Be prepared to counter these.

Anyone with a functioning brain and a love for truth is adequately prepared to counter those.

I was thinking of the possibility that the video feed was viewed 'Live' from an offsite location.

There is an equivalence ratio/rating for TNT and bomb grade ammonium nitrate/fuel mix. I think it is around 1: 0.7. Don't quote me on that. Meaning that twice the weighted amount of ammonium nitrate per TNT doesn't give you a bigger bomb.

Take all of your weapons. Start with the most rapid fire and perhaps highest power/size. Have no plan to reload once you start shooting but have that as a backup. Fire all loaded weapons and if there is time then start to reload and fire.

I've taken some advice and dug up some Zoloft, Valium, and Keystone Light. The nightmares were way bad last night. So, what? 400 mg Zoloft, 30 mg Valium and a 6 of Keystone tall boys to start?

Yep.

See if it slows the rocket down.

Have you tried Canadian Whiskey?  It covers a lot of sin.

Well know when we start seeing it in Isis recruiting videos.
