On the night of October 1, 2017, a gunman opens fire on a crowd attending the final night of a country music festival in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and injuring more than 800. Although the shooting only lasted 10 minutes, the death and injury tolls made this massacre the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history at the time of the attack.
Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old retired man who lived in Mesquite, Nevada, targeted the crowd of concert-goers on the Las Vegas strip from the 32 floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. He had checked into the hotel several days before the massacre.
Paddock began firing at the crowd at 10:05 p.m. using an arsenal of 23 guns, 12 of which were upgraded with bump stocks, a tool used to fire semi-automatic guns in rapid succession. Within the 10-minute period, he was able to fire more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition.
An open-door alert sent hotel security guard Jesus Campos to investigate the 32 floor at the start of the shooting. After arriving on the floor via the stairs, Campos couldn’t get past a barricade blocking the entrance so he used the elevator instead. While walking through the hall, he heard a drilling sound coming from Paddock’s room and was shot in the leg, through the door.
Once authorities were alerted, they arrived at Paddock’s suite at 10:17 p.m. and didn’t breach for nearly another hour at 11:20 p.m. Paddock was found dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His motives remain unknown.
In addition to the arsenal of weaponry found in Paddock’s hotel room, a note calculating how to attack the crowd based on trajectory and distance was also found. Authorities concluded that Paddock had no connections with terrorist groups such as ISIS and that his planned attack was carried out without accomplices.
The deadly shooting horrified the country and sparked debate over gun control legislation once again, with gun-control advocates claiming that Paddock’s use of bump stocks led to increased causalities. In response, some states banned bump stocks.

I love how they say 23 guns is an arsenal 🙂
You sure it’s not a false flag to take away the guns?
The FBI took over the investigation, not another credible word was heard – silence.
No he didn’t …
Never happened! Paid actors. Where was all the blood?? Huge false flag. The stage collapsed into its own footprint at freefall speed. Why?? Too many unanswered questions, like, why were there 20 cases of ivermectin found under a Bush in the grassy knoll??
Yeah, I never believed that story line. I’ve heard eyewitnesses describe automatic gunfire from a black helicopter (open door with a black curtain obscuring the interior).
I watched quite a few videos on the “John E Hoover” Youtube channel, maybe 2 years ago or longer (before all of the Covid crap). Eyewitnesses who were frustrated because the news coverage kept changing and didn’t report what they saw. I can’t find any of these now, so I suppose they’ve all been deleted by now. He’s on Subscribestar under “iamjohncullen.” I’m rewatching what I can find. The most recent is from last October.
The windows of the room where Paddock supposedly was shooting from were not broken out until after the room was breached, over an hour after the shooting ended. There is film evidence of this.
It was a totally staged event. A real false flag.
History.com – the official purveyor of government-approved bullshit.
This “event” did not occur as reported. Nothing even remotely like what was reported. Any statement otherwise is deliberately promulgated misinformation. Lies, we used to call them.
I quickly gave up on the idea of ever hearing the truth about this. Whatever was ‘officially’ said was obvious BS. I had watched dozens of on scene videos within 24 hours of the shooting and when the officials spoke, almost noting aligned with what I had just watched.
Whatever happened, the officials lied and covered up something, doing a very poor job of it.
But it worked for them, as all I heard after from people was parroting the official lies. I am sure it emboldened TPTB to tell even bigger whoppers and try staging bigger psy-ops.
And here we are.
Unless the Jab kills off a majority of the gullible and stupid mAsses that unthinkingly go along with TPTB plans, we are screwed.
To me the best part of this action drama was the people who were supposedly shot with a 5.56 and only had bandaids on their wounds. Seriously, one clown was showing where he was hit in the neck TWICE and had big bandaids covering the “wounds”. Now that is fuking hilarious. Another was a girl in a hospital bed hit in the knee. She was smiling and telling us all about her ordeal.
OMG, the frivolity…..
Could have been ricochets of fragmented bullets. Could have been a lot of things.
I’m sure there was some weird shit behind it considering the background of the guy and the police response to it (though that could have been incompetence/cowardice), but all I really remember is that people kept posting videos claiming multiple shooters, or multiple locations. And time after time, it just sounded like someone with a bump stock in a very built up area, or like a crowd of people getting shot at.
There was definitely a shooting. I took care of 8 people that were shot and had lower acuity injuries. The most injured patients went to the trauma doctors.
That being said, there was definitely something shady about the whole thing. For example, security is very tight in a casino. I find it almost impossible to believe that someone could bring up that many guns and ammunition to their room and not be noticed.
He brought them in in a rolling golf bag. A couple trips a day, not noticed,
I’m not saying he “did it,” but that is the story, security cameras videoed it.
