LV Shooting: Isn’t the most obvious proof of a second shooter the second broken window?

the 2nd window is key, but I wouldn't say to the 2 shooter narrative. we have multiple indiscrepancies with the 'official' timeline and the breaking of the window in the suite.

In all of the shooting though, how often do you hear two guns at once? Granted, the second window is really strange. Is it possible he planned on another person being there? Maybe Jesus before he backed out? Easiest explanation for all the guns, all the ammo, and two windows would be somebody got cold feet.

LVPD says the second window was used for the fuel tanks. I also don't think Paddock's window was broken during the attack, as photo analysis doesn't show a broken window in his suite during the shooting. Also the fuel tanks thing doesn't make any sense, because he can literally hit the tanks from either window very easily.

what really doesn't make sense about the fuel tanks is the 2 shots; one was a damn perfect snipe at the very tip-top where the fuel vapor would be.. but our 'shooter' wasn't a marksman. i've considered making a post about this.

What really doesn't make sense is anything we have been told about this event.

He also wasn't stupid. You can't just shoot a jet fuel tank and have it explode. You need consistent heat applied to create the pressure needed for it to burst. Paddock would have known that if he considered the fuel tank as a target. Who wouldn't know about the fuel tanks issue? Someone who's trying to set Paddock up, create havok, and shoot everything.

yeah, well, you're asking someone to hit an elevated shot at 600+ yards with a .223 incendiary round. I'm doubtful I hit that shot and I've fired my fair share of rounds.

Yeah so I guess that supports what I'm saying then right? That the hit was a chance shot by someone who thought it would do damage, not an accurate shot by someone who planned it.

the preciseness of the top shot on that tank leads me to believe otherwise. someone who thought it could do damage, but also knew they could make that shot. is it possible it was just 2 shots trying to be on target? sure.

I can't prove intent in the same way the FBI can't prove they were missed shots on the crowd that hit the tanks, by chance. However, they have assumed intent, and I will assume marksmanship beyond our 'shooters' capability.

Agreed! The flash point of kerosene(aka Jet A) is controlled to be 100°F+ 223 or 308 won't do it... This ain't hollyweird for goodness sake:)

exactly. only someone that doesn't do their research would shoot the tank. I think if Paddock really tried to incorporate that in his shooting, he would have found out prior that nothing would have happened.

He was a pilot, fire training is a given for anyone with a license, so he would have knew everything we are posting here, that's why I call him Patsy Paddock..

Would he? Would he know the burning point of Kerosene from having his pilots license? I'm trying to see if we can actually prove he was knowledgeable about those tanks.

No sir(or ma'am) I did not think you were, please I ask you and many more; don't let this go, don't click, pray, scroll-on. Ask ??? demand they give us answers, if for no other reason, for the dead there in LV... Godspeed

I was thinking this too. He may not have known the specifics but he would have had an idea that they don't ignite that way.

Yep, as much as they said he "planned" that certainly would have came up...

Hmm. Is that truck always there? If not, I doubt it was an original part of it.

And what makes even less sense, he was a pilot he knew would take, at minimum, a .50 to pierce those tank at that distance, let alone ignite them. Jet A has a very high flash point, it's K1 kerosene for lack of a better description. A spark won't do it...Now had it been 93 octane, that's a different tale..

Yeah he’s a genius. Too bad no matter what round it wasn’t going to explode. Fuel vapor? Dafuq u talking about. He had a scope. No matter where you hit, nothing is going to explode. He was a dumb old man who was shooting fuel tanks that would never explode and left explosives in his car. He thought he’d escape? He was a moron.

the tanks have to vent off vapors to avoid over-compression and subsequent explosion. having a scope or not doesn't make it call of duty; his sighting would have had to been adjusted correctly, and the distance wasn't a 'gimme' by any means. shooting on a crowd of 22,000 is one thing, whereas hitting a target from 600+ yards out is another. I'm not talking about the shot to the side of the tank, but the one that hit the upper most section. Maybe it was a lucky shot? I'm not discounting that notion. Appears to be odd regardless.

Shooting at fuel tanks doesn't seem like something a smart old guy who flew planes would do. Paddock had to know that kerosene would not explode by hitting the tanks.

maybe he just wanted to make them leak to make it easier for the bomb to blow them up?

The fact that it was in a different room begs the question if Paddock had rented both rooms we still haven't gotten a definitive answer on that

If there was 2 guns shooting wouldn't it be noticeable? In the videos you hear one gun, unloading a whole clip then a pause to either reload or grab another. Then unload again. If it was 2 guns you would have no doubt.

yep, even the instances that sound like 2 guns being fired are too few and far between. i would expect the sound of 2 shooters to be obvious and undeniable

I just watched this whole video. I can't see how people think it's more than one shooter the way he takes his time. https://youtu.be/5vdeHMqCscs

this is what made me initially think it was possible, but the explanations sound plausible and there just isnt enough of it for me to think it was 2nd shooter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG2oQ65zi-Q&feature=youtu.be&t=775

Two shooters....like Campos and Schuck. I think that idea has crossed my mind.

Wild guesses for second window being broken:

  • better angle for two targets
  • cross ventilation to clear the room air
  • result of police blasting room door

It really honestly is. There is not nearly enough added range of view to make the time lost in breaking a second window worth the time.

imo it looks like the guest room was actually where he planned to do everything from. the laptops were in there, the camera cables went in to there. there is strong evidence the 2nd window was not broken until near the end.

No occums razor shows that the simplest answer is the correct one. So obviously he would want to go back and forth between windows with no change in bullets per minute. It's clearly easier to shoot out of both windows at once than to shoot out of one. It's simole logic.

Occums razor isn't a, it's a tool, and states a simple answer is "often" correct, not "always correct.

Have you ever even logic?

Never

Simplest answer that fully explains the circumstance. Not just the simplest answer.

So you're saying Christ himself killed those peopleñ

Come again? No idea how to interpret this comment given the context.

I'm using occums razor.

You're using a straw man fallacy. Seems out of character for you.

Ohh so now I'm supposed to act a certain way?

Rational?

That's just not who I am.

You're not a rational person and, as such, you decline to engage in rational conversation. Damn, why so hard on yourself? You can do this.

Show me a picture of the second window broken during the shooting...

Every photo and every video that shows Mandalay Bay during the shooting shows only 1 window broken.

My take:

134 was where the "shooting" came from. All the incriminating evidence was in that room.

135 was later staged to show dead Paddock.

Wow the shills are out in full force tonight with the downvotes. Everyone here is in the neg......wtf.

I just watched this whole video. I can't see how people think it's more than one shooter the way he takes his time. https://youtu.be/5vdeHMqCscs
