Hotel Security Guard Jesus Campos Abruptly Cancels Interview With Sean Hannity
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/10/hotel-security-guard-jesus-campos-abruptly-cancels-interview-sean-hannity/

Lot of questions about the security guard, Jesus Campos. He is not even registered as one in Nevada.

Las Vegas guard Jesus Campos vanished after visiting urgent-care clinic, union leader says
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/10/16/las-vegas-guard-jesus-campos-vanished-after-visiting-urgent-care-clinic-union-leader-says.html

Quote
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.

A spokesperson at the UMC Quick Care, which has eight locations throughout the Las Vegas area, told Fox News on Monday that they had "heard nothing" about Campos visiting them.

This gets more interesting. I wonder why he just disappeared.

Is this why he did it?Vegas sheriff says Stephen Paddock lost large chunk of his wealth gambling and buying properties and thinks money woes may have pushed him over the edge

Quote
Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock had lost a large portion of his wealth over the last two years thanks to mounting gambling losses and real estate deals, which the local sheriff speculates might have driven him to violence.

In an interview with local news station KLAS Wednesday night, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said that Paddock, a millionaire property investor with a passion for high-stakes gambling on video poker machines, hit a rough patch in his finances beginning in September 2015.

'I think that might have a determining factor on what he determined to do,' Lombardo said.

So many questions.

Who knows. I think the FBI and Lombardo have really messed up the investigation.

Lombardo ran on a pro gun control platform to win the Sheriff's election (side note)

Las Vegas shooting Stephen Paddock Marilou Danley latest
https://www.metro.us/news/the-big-stories/las-vegas-shooting-stephen-paddock-marilou-danley-latest

Quote
It’s been over two months since the tragic Las Vegas shooting conducted by Stephen Paddock, who killed a reported 58 people and injured 546.

In this age of a non-stop news cycle, the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States is already ancient news. One interesting tidbit dropped Tuesday that has Las Vegas shooting conspiracy theorists going nuts right now is the stories about the hospitals that tended to the victims in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. One of the most popular conspiracy theories surrounding the Las Vegas shooting centers around how no one supposedly died from injury while at the hospital. The death tally and injury tally were already locked in hours after the shooting and did not rise.

This USA Today story speaks at length about how one of Vegas’ smaller hospitals ended up with hundreds more patients than the one best equipped to deal with such a horrible incident.

Las Vegas Massacre has not been in the news lately despite 58 people killed.

Columbine Massacre was in the news for months and for most of 1999. 13 people were killed.

So many unanswered questions.

WALSH: 58 People Were Killed In Las Vegas, We Still Don't Know Why Or How, And Nobody Cares

I am going to break the rules of the Internet Hot Take Industry and write about an old story that nobody cares about anymore. We have gone on to other topics, and then other topics, and then other topics, and other topics, etc. The news cycle moves at the speed of sound. Events from last week are a distant memory and news from October may as well have occurred during the Cretaceous Period.

Still, I can't help but recall, ever so faintly, that little thing known at the time as the worst mass shooting in American history. If memory serves, a wealthy 64-year-old gambler named Stephen Paddock murdered 58 people and injured hundreds from the window of his luxury hotel room. In the days after the slaughter, nobody could figure out why he did it, or how he managed to pull it off. So, we all kind of shrugged our shoulders and moved on. The questions were never answered.

It is now two months later and we know as much today as we knew six hours after the shooting. But nobody is talking about it anymore. It's as if it never happened.

There was a time when a mass shooting of this magnitude would dominate the news for weeks and weeks. Columbine — which paled in comparison to this — was the only thing anyone talked about for at least a month. Even more recent shootings — Charleston, Aurora, Orlando — were in the headlines for much longer than Las Vegas. Yet there were more people shot in Vegas than in Columbine, Charleston, Aurora, and Orlando combined. Twice as many, easily.

Well, I think.

I actually don't know how many people were shot. They tell us 527 people were injured, along with the 58 killed, but were all of those injuries from gunshots? Did the guy actually physically shoot 585 human beings? Or were some of the injuries from people getting knocked over and trampled in the melee? I would imagine the latter must be the case, but I don't know. It's been two months and we still don't even know how many people Paddock shot. Maybe that number is available somewhere but I couldn't find it. How is that possible? How could it be two months after the worst mass shooting in American history and we still don't have a precise and well-publicized casualty count?

Unparalleled upheaval: The LVMPD’s Sheriff Joe Lombardo
http://baltimorepostexaminer.com/unparalleled-upheaval-lvmpds-sheriff-joe-lombardo/2018/01/02

Quote
January 1, 2018 besides being the start of a new year, marks three months since the worst mass shooting in American history.

Fifty-eight people were murdered and over 500 others were wounded when a lone gunman — we are told — Stephen Paddock, opened fire from his 32nd floor suite of the Mandalay Bay Hotel on October 1, 2017.

Paddock fired over 1,100 rounds down onto an unsuspecting crowd at the Route 91 Music Festival, police said. Just to note, the collected evidence from Paddock’s suite should include all 1,100 plus expended cartridges. Firing pin indentations on the cartridge cases should match the weapons in the room that allegedly were used.

Long article, worth reading. So many unanswered questions.

Indictment in Las Vegas mass shooting is possible, authorities say
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-vegas-shooting-indictment-20180116-story.html

Quote
Stephen Paddock was the only gunman spraying bullets on an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas last fall, but on Tuesday police said criminal charges could still be filed in the mass shooting that left 58 people dead.

The revelation came in district court as Nick Crosby, a lawyer representing the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, argued to keep search warrants, affidavits and findings sealed as charges were being investigated. Police have said Paddock was the lone gunman in the Oct. 1 massacre.

Crosby said that because the investigation was ongoing, he couldn’t reveal who those charges might be aimed at or what they might entail.

Someone could be arrested in connection to the Las Vegas Massacre.

The girlfriend of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock deleted her Facebook account less than an hour before police released Paddock’s name, according to reports.

Marilou Danley was traveling in the Philippines on Oct. 1 when Paddock fired a barrage of shots from his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort and casino.

The result was 58 people dead and hundreds injured in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

Will criminal charges be filed in Las Vegas massacre?

Quote
LAS VEGAS — Clark County, Nevada, District Court Judge Elissa Cadish did not release any records Monday pertaining to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s (LVMPD) investigation of the worst mass shooting in American history as requested by several local and national media outlets.

In a stunning statement to the court, attorney Nicholas Crosby representing the LVMPD told the court that criminal charges may be possible depending on the results of an ongoing investigation.

When the judge asked if there are potential charges against others as a result of the ongoing investigation, the attorney for the police responded, yes. He did not elaborate on any evidence or who may be charged.

Doug Poppa has been writing great articles about the Las Vegas Massacre. Questions that need to be answered.

In no picture that I saw, did it ever look like the Vegas shooter had ever saw a hair stylist.

From what I read of that report, it raised more questions than it answered.  Much of it seemed like it was designed to give cover to the feds for botching their job and to give cover to TPTB.

'A stunt': Outrage builds over MGM Resorts' decision to sue victims of Las Vegas massacre
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/07/17/mgm-resorts-sues-victims-las-vegas-massacre-denies-liability/791511002/

Quote
A lawsuit filed by MGM Resorts International, owner of the Las Vegas hotel from which Stephen Paddock fatally shot 58 people and wounded hundreds, is drawing outrage from survivors of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

The suit filed against hundreds of the victims of the rampage Oct. 1 outside the Mandalay Bay hotel claims the entertainment giant has "no liability of any kind."

MGM said in a statement the filing was meant to provide a "timely resolution" for shooting victims who sued or will sue in the aftermath of the attack during the Route 91 Harvest Festival. MGM said litigation filed against it "must be dismissed."

MGM has something to hide.

Without commenting on Mandalay Bay's potential liability, the longer any process is delayed or protracted (once begun) the more expensive it would be for Mandalay Bay to defend themselves. Delay is used as a tactic by deep-pocketed prosecutors and plaintiffs (and plaintiffs using deep-pocketed contingency-fee law firms). It's a tactic the "Speedy Trial" provision of the 6th Amendment was supposed to preclude, but abuse is rampant and pervasive.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
