In this video, you can hear the first volley of automatic weapons fire rain down on the crowd from Paddock’s 32nd story vantage point in the nearby Mandalay Bay Hotel. Chaos follows.

I couldn’t understand what the fuck he was showing the police officer. Who the fuck asks a police officer for a weapon. Nobody knew for a good 10 minutes where the fire was coming from because of the other buildings. This guy is a pussy. He runs to try and get a gun as opposed to helping people with his CLS skills. This dude deserves another throat punch. Don’t get me wrong I would take cover. I would also try and help people that went down. I think they said he went through BUDS twice, I could be wrong. Running he says I saw a woman’s head blown off. Fuck this douche bag!!!

Just the facts. I like the way you presented this article, Alex. I'm not going to get involved in the speculation. I'm just going to wait for LE to eventually deliver their explanation speech, one that I hope will come with a can opener. geo sends

From news report he was a millionaire he had four homes and also like to gamble,stay at high-end hotels for months at time..He had money to shop for guns at gun shows or maybe legally. His motivate law enforcement is still trying to find out. My prayers goes out to the families of dead victims and the injure, survivors, the worst mass shooting in history.

To all the politians including Ms. Clinton, who will attempt to use this as an excuse to take guns from law abiding citizens, first disarm you taxpayer paid security guards. To all the stars in Hollywood who want gun control, first disarm your private security guards. Will not happens because they deserve protection and we do not. Terrible state of affairs when conduct of the guilty is used to punish the guilt free.
