Rethinking The Las Vegas Shootout

Rethinking The Las Vegas Shootout

Let us examine a different scenario for the Vegas Shootout involving Stephen Paddock.  First let us consider that numerous people have insisted that there were numerous shooters on the ground.  Eight of the most prominent of these people have died within a month suggesting that they were removed.  This suggests two things: a. The shooting was part of a large scale plan involving numerous plotters and b.  there is a cover up concerning multiple shooters in which many who could contradict the official narrative have been killed.  That was either done by an upper management group or the plotters themselves in an effort to maintain the Paddock narrative.  This scenario will assume a large plot.

As to criminal methods:  If you are going to commit a crime the practice is to implicate an innocent party as a patsy or fall guy.  All the evidence will point to the patsy.  Once his guilt is established and he judged guilty as far as the police go the crime is solved.  No need to look further and the perps are in the clear.

This was how the Kennedy assassination was run.  If you remember Lee Harvey Oswald said on TV:  I’m just a patsy.  He was the obvious shooter although others guaranteed the killing.  However it seemed clear that Oswald was going to talk. If he knew he was the patsy then he knew who else was involved.  Therefore Jack Ruby was recruited to silence him.  The police were warned beforehand that an attempt to kill Oswald was going to occur.  They took zero preparations and Oswald was shot by Ruby.  The killing of Oswald was done to protect certain parties.

Ruby was imprisoned but he made the conspirators nervous.  He was first declared insane to make anything he said irrelevant.  Then a couple years later he died from ‘natural’ causes.  The conspirators believed they were in the clear.

As far as Paddock goes, with shooters on the ground, the grassy knoll, so to speak, it seems obvious that Paddock is the patsy.  It is only assumed that he was the shooter because he was found dead amidst all those guns. (Pay attention to the role of guns.)  Hundreds of pounds of weapons and ammunition.  Way too much for what was intended.

Now, everybody says that he was a mild mannered man who never caused any trouble while he is said to have sat playing video poker, a solitary occupation, at twelve hour stretches several days in a row.  At 64 years of age he had no police record.  A law abiding man.   He frequently was comped rooms at the casinos so his checking into the Mandalay was nothing unusual for him.  The valet who checked him in said that he had nothing but the usual luggage.  Certainly not hundreds of pounds of guns.  That valet is one of the people who has died post concert.

Mandalay management says that he didn’t come out of his room after he checked in.  There was no way for Paddock to get that arsenal into the hotel and his room.

That means that he and his room was selected as the site for the plot.  Bear in mind that the shooting took place after dark so that there was no way that the shooter could have had a clear shot at what he was shooting from 300 or more feet away from a couple hundred feet above street level.  The Mandalay was just a decoy to draw attention from the real shooters on the ground, but attention has been directed to the Mandalay, bump stocks and other irrelevant details.

The plotters probably moved the guns into the building into an adjoining room—perhaps the one whose door was ajar that supposedly brought Paddock to the attention of the Mandalay security guard.  In all likelihood the security guard was the shooter.

Probably posing as room service he got Paddock to open his door.  He then shot Paddock who then was dead before the shooting began.  The guard wheeled the weapons into the room either alone or assisted by others who were checked in as guests, leaving the cart outside the door where it was found.  The guard then sprayed the door with a burst or two of machine gun fire.  Any accomplices did not have to leave the hotel; all they had to do was return to their rooms and wait till the coast was clear.

The guard then created the Mandalay diversion by shooting into the concert enclosure perhaps hitting people but perhaps not.  Once the panic began most concert goers would have had no idea what was happening except that it was happening.  Probably conspirators called attention to the Mandalay, as the site would not have been that obvious, at which point it could be said that the shooting was coming from the Mandalay.

In any event, chaos created, the guard throws the gun down while giving himself a flesh wound in the leg to authentic his ridiculous story of being hit by a bullet from the spray of machine gun fire through the door and around it.

The police arrive find the guard with his wound, listen to the story and find it credible, then find Paddock splayed out on the floor and assume that he was the shooter.  They had absolutely no proof other than the circumstantial evidence.  Remember that they only assumed, assumed, that Paddock was the sole shooter.

Thus the case was solved as they chose to ignore the reports of multiple shooters on the ground.  The real perps had pulled off the most successful mass murder in US history.  The only question now is who were the real perps and why.  The shooting was barely over before some anti-gun enthusiast was on the air loudly proclaiming that guns and bump stocks were liable.  The presence of so many guns and the uproar about guns points in the direction of the anti-gun crowd as possible perps. 

Paddock almost certainly was not the shooter.   He was the patsy and had to die just like Oswald.  Dead patsies tell no tales.
