I'm beginning to think so. But I also believe that because of the vacuum being created by the persons and agencies in charge of the investigation, people are desperate for an explanation. So they will fall for anything they read, see or hear and spread it around. They may mean well, but disseminating gossip, rumors and downright hoaxes does more harm than good.
What is wrong with us addressing those flawed reports right here?
If we can stop accounts of events that simply do not work (and not just because someone says so, but with facts, witnesses, logic, etc.), let's do it.
I would think we can discuss the various theories out there without being married to them, and discard those which do not fit the facts. What's more, I think we can find facts, too.
Some stuff enters the '
X-Files' realm of whether or not people want to believe, but there are such things as eyewitness accounts, timelines, and what physical evidence we can find out about or that officials will release. More than ever, that stuff is available on the web. Some of it will be BS, some will be there for the purpose of getting a paycheck. The more egregious nonsense will be easy enough to (pardon the expression) shoot down in flames.
Sometimes the official accounts don't hold water, either. (Twin Peaks in Waco TX, Mt Carmel, same area, Ruby Ridge, ID, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, Bubba and Loretta having a confab about the 'weather', and numerous others, for example). We can ferret that out as well, without going off into sanctimony and and branding everything that doesn't match the official report as "kook' or 'conspiracy theory". I get the impression that if Alex Jones said that the sky was blue and the grass was green, there are people who would summarily dismiss the statements by virtue of the source, even though they were, in fact, correct.
There is much about this that makes no sense to me.
The last firearm the alleged shooter bought was a bolt-action rifle. Where is that? He bought it just hours before the incident from a gun shop 4 hours away.
What about the Ammonium Nitrate in his car? We haven't heard any more about that.
Yet there were reports of a bomb threat/suspicious vehicle the same time frame as the shooting.
Why so many weapons for just one guy? A half dozen should have been plenty.
Where is all the expended brass in the room photos? That wasn't anywhere close to two thousand rounds, more like a couple hundred. Why is there a tripod set up in the room, with no weapon on it, yet no empties, dissolving belt links, no full magazines nor ammo boxes near by?
There is a fine stack of magazines in one image, but it is downright inconveniently located for anyone who would be using them. Again, why?
Why scopes on firearms gimmicked to fire full auto (notorious for messing up scope zero, but even more so, if used with a bump fire stock, useless because the eye relief distance will be constantly changing)?
Why transfer 100K to the Philippines?
Is that location (home of Abu Sayef) significant? (Terry Nichols had a GF from there, too, but they blamed the white guy and assured us there was no Islamic connection.)
Someone said DHS had taken over at first, any truth to that, were they there, did the FBI take over later?
For folks who had so little info, they were sure quick to discard terrorism.
How about the missing six minutes (timeline 'confusion')? We aren't bringing down a president over this, so we shouldn't need 14...Or are the revisions of the Security Guard's report just to cover the hindparts of the parent company for both the casino and the network he was interviewer on by someone who has her picture on slot machines in the casino?
There are accounts of broken entrance doors and shooters at a half dozen different places, some of which could not be hit from the Mandalay Bay.
The lady (now deceased) who said there were multiple shooters, some at ground level, in the concert venue was not alone. She just happened to be a person who might be regarded as a credible source, in good standing in her community.
The news report in one video in the background, the one which showed the ambulances at Hooters), said that there were multiple shooters in multiple locations according to police.
Where is the: ME report and toxicology report on the shooter?
How about an inventory of evidence (a form any searching officers fill out as part of the custody chain for evidence). This should shed light on the firearms used, how many rounds were fired and what caliber those rounds were (from expended brass). Were any drugs found in the rooms?
I have a little more tendency to believe the statements of people who have no you tube channel to pimp, but some of those may be BS, too, or their accounts may contain errors of judgement, recollection, or perception. If so, those mistakes should be easy enough to explain. I think we have enough discerning minds here to pick through that without going into the abyss of believing fairy tales, whether those are official or from other sources.
