    He would have had to passed through the hallway to go between those 2 windows.

    There was a door into the adjoining bedroom that was in the suite.

    This really looks like a guy slowly losing it and then snapping at some point in the last year and starting to plan this thing. It still seems unlikely that he could pull this off without somebody helping him get the stuff up to the suite. Maybe even a fall guy who didn't know what he was helping transport.

    Paddock offers a worker in the hotel with access to the back lifts a couple hundred to help him move some "video" equipment up to his suite. Wink, wink I'm shooting a "private" film with some hookers. He lets the guy see some of the camera equipment that he is going to set up for surveillance to sell the story.

    He was a high roller and management would definitely have told staff to look the other way on small indiscretions and maybe even help facilitate them if asked.

    Plus, it was reported that law enforcement blew the door off the hinges with an explosive device to get in (?) to shoot the shit out of him (primary objective to stop him, alive teritiary), and that's when they found him dead. I was expecting to see NO door(s) to speak of, but what I do I know from explosives. Who knows the exact timeline since the security guard with balls of steel alerted the police as to his location and Paddock taking his own loser pond scum POS life. Security cameras will eventually tell that tale (including his own), but again again again in the dept. of redundancy dept. dept., these may be things we shouldn't know at this time for investigative reasons.

    I was thinking the other way around. If he had help maybe they set him up to be the fall guy and took off in security jackets

    and there's more and more....

    Investigators Probing Whether Others Were in Las Vegas Gunman’s Suite

    The investigators are puzzled by two discoveries: First, a charger was found that does not match any of the cell phones that belonged to Stephen Paddock...

    And second, garage records show that during a period when Paddock's car left the hotel garage, one of his key cards was used to get into his room.

    Did anyone actually see him shoot from the windows?

    No video show muzzle flashes from up there. None that I've seen .

    ^Don't high end hotels give you dock stations and such? Supposedly he had two phones from two different carriers. The charger thing could be a burn phone. Anyway, everything is speculation.

    I am in and out of places like this is Myrtle beach. I never have to buy chargers because of what I find left behind. But, in this case it's just starting to add to a growing puzzle imo

    I'll bet in the very near future, the story here is going to change. Too many saw too much.

    Why would it be relevant that it was used in NYC? It's Tannerite. Anyone can purchase it. You see it in movies and tv shows. Someone shoots the target and it explodes. That's what that is.

    So, you can see at most 10% of the door and because that 10% looks fine, the whole door is fine? What?

    Also, that's a long ass hallway. Why would you expect to see bullet holes from absurdly far away?

    Many of the articles and opinion pieces that I have read, think this should be called terrorism and claim it is not due to white privilege/racism

    I'd love to read someone trying to make that ridiculous argument.

    That's more like half the door rather than 10%. As for your second statement... :) He was supposedly shooting down the hallway. We're talking about a 64-year old fragile old man (did you see the video of him falling down and then receiving treatment a few years prior?), not a special forces operator. He'd have been spraying it down the hallway, not putting 3-shot bursts in a 5-inch circle. There would be bullet holes everywhere along with broken light fixtures and debris on the floor. Of course, he could have been a 64-year old Rambo who never served in the military.

    Las Vegas terrorist Stephen Paddock fired 280 rounds in 31 seconds into concert crowd, killing 59: ‘It was like a war zone’

    Three 100-round magazines in 31 seconds. I'd love to see if a trained pro could do that.

    I've seen a lot of people say that when the perp is white , we blame mental illness , when it's any one else we call it terrorism or thugs etc.

    It's half the door and a huge portion of that is covered up by that table. That's way less than 50% of the door visable.

    I think you've watched too many movies. Guns aren't as hard to control as you may believe.

    Didn't have a machine gun. Nor did he have an assault rifle with bump stock.

    We need to loosen the gun regulation. We need to be able to buy fully automatic weapons like M240B or M2 Browning even. [LOL]

    After all - WE NEED TO PROTECT OURSELVES!!

    Coming soon: We need to loosen our WEAPONS regulations! C4 should be available for every responsible owner!

    That may be a requirement in your mind but even if he had gotten up in the morning and took one gun with him and said "I'm going to shoot some people and scare the shit out of more" he would have fulfilled the requirement in the section.
