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.

Joe Lombardo Clark County Sheriff at the time and presently is now running for Governor here in Nevada.
Many believe Lombardo turned the entire investigation over to FBI and it disappeared from the news quickly ,but with many unanswered questions. Trump who was president at the time is now strongly behind Lombardo, who he endorsed over a strong Conservative Joey Gilbert who was at the forefront in legally challenging the Covid lockdowns and mandates here in Nevada but assisting nationwide.
Our “friendly” hook-nosed pals running the CIA & FBI killing Americans on American soil. Nothing to see here. Go back to checking your Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Not buying it.
Lee “Vegas” Oswald – I believe it . . . not.
BAN GUNS!!! Starting with bumpstocks . . . oooh, scary.
Another patsy dupe Paddock is a dead man that tells no tales.
I think there’s some Paddocks that split off about 3 generations back in our family tree. Some kind of rumor about 1st cousins having kids together or something. They were screwing in the barnyard when it happened, thus the name Paddock. Gotta nip that shit in the bud. Sick bastards.
Love may be blind, but the neeeiiiggghhhbors are not. Best leave the paddock to the horses for your next roll in the hay.

I see a lot of crisis actors …. but no blood!
That’ll be Photoshopped into the .gov official “investigation” report to be published in the NYT – the paper of altered record.
I know some one personally who was shot. The bullets were real and people were killed and injured. Argue the back story with no protest from me. But don’t tell me no one was shot.
10% truthiness for plausible deniability. The deep state will kill anyone for the greater narrative.
Why da fuk I got 5 up-votes for that dumb-ass comment I will never know.
A mysterious someone just made upvote #6.
It may have been The Great Cornynholio.
Trump buried the truth or more likely, failed to uncover it. We cannot afford to repeat history.
History.scum.com rewriting history every day.
In a city filled with 1000’s of unblinking surveillance cameras recording 24/7 and not one single frame of video of that guy even entering the hotel.
I know, right?
Go figyah. Shades of the Epstein “suicide/assassination”, eh? No guards, no cameras . . .
Lombardo was in on the coverup, count on it. Good guy for trump to back, like all his picks, people of impeccable quality, integrity and soooo patriotic.

There is a video which I’m trying to find that showed the timeline, reported shooters in various places, the helo’s that were hovering around the buildings with flashes of light, ID beacons and nav lights turned off. Anyone else know of it and have it bookmarked.
Can’t have their MK-Ultra agent talking now, can they.
Deep State opened fire….fixed it…
Nothing on Paddock as a FBI controlled Manchurian agent ?? nothing on his prescription drug habits ?? his medical records ??
He apparently killed himself when his door was surrounded [ten minutes of shooting] but it was an hour before they broke in??
It’s all shades of bizarre how fast this story as well as Astroworld just disappeared. Supposedly someone was running around Astroworld injecting people with something but no one saw such a person, filmed such an attack and no one has been arrested. Same with the Georgia guidestones. Watched on camera 24/7 but no one on camera destroying it. There must be invisible people right?
Another Smith Mundt theater production. Aldean sold his soul let them play recorded automatic gunfire over his loudspeakers. No one died. No real rounds were fired. No surveillance footage no evidence of rounds fired after the fact. Army moulage and public affairs units on scene. This one was ridiculously fake.
There is footage of the “director” clipboard in hand chastising non crisis actor participants who were yelling that the gunfire was fake.
