Don't ever let anyone ridicule you for thinking 2+2=4 and try to convince you that 2+2=7 and that there is nothing strange going on.

There is certainly something strange going on. Things don't add up.

Yup believe what your told on youtube and conspiracy theory websites. Go with your first assumptions about claims sold to you! Even if they don't actually make sense.
Don't bother with things like basic skepticism or common sense...

No dead bodies in this video. Has anyone come across any images of any dead bodies? Cos I can't seem to find any.

Claims sold to me? lol.

You're trying to imply that I can't think for myself. And trying to play down the fact that things don't add up.

I wont be engaging you again. You have proven that you fight dirty and twist words around like how a narcissist does when they are trying to get their victim to doubt their own sanity. It's called gaslighting. I've come across enough trolls in my time to recognise one when I see one.

Stay away from me.

Yes, claims sold to you. There are people out there who have vested interests in promoting these nonsense conspiracy theories. Either financially, because of their own personal agenda or just to mess with people.

But you accept their claims as truth without scrutinising or examining them even when they have already been shown to not be true or otherwise don't actually make sense.
And then when you get asked difficult questions, you start hurling abuse.

My question from the first page remains unanswered.
If you are thinking for yourself, are applying logic and common sense and still
believe in the conspiracy theory, then it would be trivial to answer:

I'm not looking for gory footage, rather some convincing proof to back up the official story.

None of the footage I've seen matches the claim that 59 people were shot dead. I like everyone was shocked when the news broke, but I'm no longer convinced its real.

The picture shows a trail of dead bodies scattered across the green area. The Daily Mail had a censored version of the picture on their website yesterday.

This is a dishonest twisting of his words.

He did not say there was more than one shooter.
He did not say anything about supporting the silly nonsensical conspiracy theories.

Yeah It was poorly translated .... I looked it up

So to summarize - He had help, planned to escape (so was not a suicide mission), there is a female potential accomplice at large, and the FBI further confirmed that "no evidence at this point to say it was an act of [domestic] terrorism."

Maybe there was a second shooter ... did they rule that out ?

I already made the observation, maybe just read the whole thing

The Audio to video sync can be unreliable but it does appear like the  blinking started a good 1 to 2 seconds before we hear the noise.

As an engineer I have worked on data compression and streaming software in the past I know all to well the issues around synchronization of the video and audio feeds, but even with that said I acknowledge there seems to be a real gap of 2 seconds between the blink and the pop.

No, I was the one who made the observation which you then replied to.

ShowMeTheCash wrote: »

The biggest issue with any of this is the device it is being recorded on.
The Audio to video sync can be unreliable but it does appear like the blinking started a good 1 to 2 seconds before we hear the noise.

I then went on to add. Which you have seemed to have not answered again!

Well it's a mobile upload. So it most likely got uploaded to youtube from the mobile so from the source. There is multiple examples in the video that the audio and video are in sync.

3.58 the car goes over a bump which can be seen and heard in sync!
4.28 the window goes down the sound is in sync as is the timing of the taxi drivers dialogue with people standing outside the hotel
4.56 the taxi driver pans the camera towards the building and notices the flash and says "oh ****" that dialogue is boxy sounding meaning that the space between the window and the mic on the phone has a shorter distance to travel so is having what they call in acoustics proximity effect. Also in sync Most importantly!
5.18 Just after the taxi driver sh1tes herself the car goes over another bump. Both audible and in sync!
Troughout the engine acceleration noises. In sync! Car door being shut by taxi driver 18.18

Video is perfectly in sync.

↑↑ this is what may previous question is based on so yet again - does that address the issue of the audio and video being in sync? Throughout the video. Do you believe that the time it takes for the first pop to be heard and then displayed in the video would correspond with the video being in sync based on the observations I made for your claim that they could be unreliable.

I'm not asking about the first pop you hear approximately 2.5 seconds after the flash I already know how long it takes. Its a simple question have I just proven that the video is in sync with the audio?

Audio and video can move in and out sync at the micro second level, good software usually compensats to a degree, the accuracy of your speed of sound vs light at the microsecond maybe even millisecond level will probably not be accurate so to base the real calculation and values is pointless to a certain level, it might be reliable to about 0.1 seconds.
That being said there gap is over 0.1 seconds 2+ so for that reason it is probably OK and reasonable to assume the popping and flashing are not the same source.

The LVPD investigated reports of multiple shooters - and of multiple shootings - that night, but those reports never appear to have been substantiated. There were reports of a security guard being shot also?

A lot of different versions of events have been peddled around making it difficult to filter out.

Honestly, I would not at all be surprised if foreign social media agencies (Russia for example) are actively doing this to further divide the country up and keep people actively distrusting the govt.

The "what's the point of a second shooter" question?. Answer seems obvious to me (not that I'm suggesting the conspiracy theories are true).
A lot of the conspiracy theories around these type of shootings focus on the idea that the official shooter is a patsy of some kind. Moreover, a patsy that has been influenced through the application of mind altering narcotics or some kind of chemical mind control or heavy suggestion or something like that. The thing with a patsy like that however is that they're not terribly efficient. So, you influence them to carry out the atrocity but they're unlikely to do a very good job (they probably can't even aim straight). So you have a marksman nearby who does most of the actual killing while the patsy can take the fall for the whole thing.
That's the idea anyway.

There is something very bullsh1tty about the autobiographical details that have emerged about Paddock and his profile in terms of age, wealth and lack of criminal or psychiatric history is most atypical for a mass killer. My own theory is that he's ex-military or some government agency and that it's being kept quiet for the time being either while they get to the bottom of what he was really into, or just for PR reasons. He may have been involved in arms trafficking and/or money laundering- there is no such thing as a "pro-gambler" who operates using slot machines like Paddock was said to have done (sports betting or poker I could believe), and even if he had figured out some method of gaming the machines he would have been caught and blacklisted everywhere in Nevada pretty quickly.
The nature of the attack itself shares a lot in common with those committed by other former soldiers like Charles Whitman, John Allen Muhammad and Timothy McVeigh in its methodical planning and detached remoteness from the victims whereas your average high school or cinema shooter likes to be right in amongst their victims.

Does it not occur to you that normal people wouldn't:

a) Film someone dead on the ground

I wouldn't be arrogant enough to claim that I know what happened. What I do know for sure is that my BS detector is detecting that things don't add up. The possibilities are endless as to what actually happened.

Things that don't add up for me:

I haven't seen any video or photo evidence of any dead bodies. Or anyone injured. (Not that I enjoy that kind of thing, but its not as if I haven't seen photo's of dead bodies before. And if there really were deaths we owe it to them to bring the real killers to justice.)

I watched a video last night and could clearly hear a girl say "there doesn't seem to be anyone hurt" I just can't seem to find that video right now. It was footage from the middle of the crowd.

The brother just doesn't come across as genuine. And after looking into Sandy Hook and seeing the really bad acting in other hoaxes, a pattern begins to form pretty quickly. It was the brother that did it for me. I knew straight away something wasn't right.

Lots of video's show gunshots sounding close by and then another round of shots that sound further away.

There may not have been anyone wounded but if there were, there should be gunshot holes in the ground. I haven't seen any pictures of any gunshot holes yet.

The issue is that you don't seem to like the answers or explanations you are receiving

Even Snopes has had to put something up
http://www.snopes.com/second-gunman-shoot-fourth-floor-mandalay-bay/

"There is no evidence to support the claim that there were multiple shooters or that those shooters’ muzzle flashes could be seen from the fourth floor of the resort. "

You on the other hand I think have watched too many episodes of CSI.

No, just spent far too much time on conspiracy theory forums

No, I just don't like some of the reasons given, I say reasons they are not answers.
You could argue a case with nonsense but your posistion could still be correct.
The window not being broken, fact and verifiable.
You cannot open the windows, fact and verifiable.
Looking at the video and the sound it does appear there is an issue with the sound and the flashes for them to be the source, fact and to a degree verifiable.
The idea it is a reflection - Theory.
The idea it is a phone light/strobe - Theory.
What is released to the press in terms of the investigation and trying to argue this as fact to prove a position is not verifiable by you or me.
Hypotherically if this was a conspiricy then by defininition it would be miss information. (BTW I do not think they have given any false information I was just pointing out, you really do not know, you like everyone else takes this information on good faith).
My original post was asking the question around the flashing light, was not saying it was a shooter was looking at the footage and trying to work out what it was. Your position was "It was not a shooter because the police released a statement stating there was only one shooter" is not evidence we can verifiy, if you think it is I suggest you spend less time on conspiricy forums they really are not for you!

That doesn't match with the analysis from some sources such as snopes, who point out he appears to have frequented the high stakes video poker machines:

Video poker machines are a mainstay at casinos around Nevada, with most of the machines placed in bars where gamblers can play poker from their bar stools for 25 cents a hand. They look similar to slot machines.

Paddock favored the high-dollar variety version of the game, whose machines are separate from the main video poker and slot areas. Players like Paddock use strategies that can minimize the house winnings and in some cases gain a minuscule mathematical advantage.

Michael Shackleford, who runs a gambling strategy website called The Wizard of Odds, said based on what is known of Paddock’s life, the gunman seems to have been what the casinos refer to as a “premium mass” player — one who bets in higher amounts, with a better understanding of the game than the typical player.

Premium mass players pay close attention to the odds in the game they’re playing and the payout, and they typically need access to a lot of money because they may have long dry spells where they lose exorbitant amounts.

Eventually, Shackleford said, if players stay true to a perfect strategy — one designed to maximize their performance over the long haul, such as by getting rid of potentially decent cards like low pairs to increase chances of a big-payout royal flush — their luck will turn, based on statistics, and they’ll break even or come close to it. When you add in the freebies from the casino, the player can come out ahead.

“Vegas is full of people that are basically just gambling for free,” Shackleford said. “I think the shooter was one of these people who was basically milking the system, getting free vacations.”

Why do the casinos have games where the players can come out ahead?

“It’s because there are so many bad players,” Shackleford said. “For every skilled player, there are probably 100 lousy players. They subsidize the skilled players.”

The stress of having so much on the line isn’t for everyone, he said.

“In any form of gambling, you need a strong stomach and you need to have a very cool head about the ups and down,” he said. “If this guy was a millionaire, it’s quite possible he was not bothered by the ups and down. He probably had steel nerves and was a difficult person to move emotionally.”

It’s unknown how much he wagered, but he apparently had been wagering more than $10,000 a day in some cases.

A.G. Burnett, the head of Nevada’s Gaming Control Board, said investigators are looking for enforcement actions, for any disputes Paddock may have had as a casino patron and at any federally required currency reports of transactions he made greater than $10,000.

None of that means photos do not happen. Multiple user videos were operating during the concert, because concert. Most of which showed a lot of the initial moments of the attack. Photos and videos are primary sources of evidence, and it is not immoral to seek that information out. Nobody is glorifying the carnage in doing so. I don't feel there is a case for "moral outrage" at people for wishing to see said evidence.

I was heavily involved in the water protests and was in charge of one of the Says No to Water Charges pages. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself but there were paid trolls who came onto the page trying to discredit the Says No movement. I got kind of good at giving them enough rope to hang themselves so it was obvious for all to see that they were indeed paid trolls.

So that's a little bit about my background. It all seems so far fetched until you experience it for yourself the lengths these weirdo's will go to.
