Lets get one thing straight, I am not a conspiracy twat thank you. The original reports were of multiple shooters, if you look at footage there are muzzle flashes from about the fourth floor, it just didn't seem to add up that one man could get all those weapons in to that hotel and not be seen. If I am wrong and have offended anyone then I sincerely apologise to anybody who took offence.I stand by my original statement that something does not seem right about this, that's all I am saying.

You do know Vegas is covered in flashing lights and glass windows reflect light?!

So, now we've established it isn't muzzle flashes, what is it that doesn't seem right?

Is Trump secretly working with the Dems to take away people's guns?

Or is he working with the gun manufacturers and manipulated a stock market bump?

You're welcome to your own opinion.

 

What you're not welcome to is your own facts.

 

It's your responsibility to understand the difference.

Allegations of conspiracy thrive on conjecture. As ever conspiracy theorists clamour to fill the hole, to account for to assign order and "reason" in an ostensibly chaotic world no matter how irrational their claims are. You people rush to fill the vacuum with Manchurian Candidates, contradictory police reports, 'sightings' of Paddock in strange places with official-looking people and "coincidences" which are not really coincidences. No doubt, it will be "discovered" by some retired ex FBI chief that it is not really possible to fire that many shots in that period of time - just as, guess what? burning jet fuel can't melt steel or it was impossible for Apollo to traverse the Van Allen belts? Why? Because the internet said so or you read it on a social media meme.

No, there is not. It takes all of 4 seconds to realise this and that is why people are calling you a bellend. Your eyes are seeing something that you want to see, not what is there. 

Precisely - the usual pareidolia.

I thought you and your ilk professed to be "awake"? - (unlike the "sheeple")

Are we to presume that you have evidence for your claims?

I know.  The truth is far more boring than the idea of it being a carefully coordinated scheme by malevolent forces trying to prise people's guns away from them but the truth it remains.

 

It's easy to get sucked into believing these things, you just have to learn to take a step back and cast a genuinely critical eye over the evidence and counter-evidence being laid out.  It's what all conspiracy nuts say they do but in my experience they're often deceiving themselves because life seems too boring otherwise. The detonation charges as the Twin Towers fell?  Just rubble being expelled outwards by the sheer mass descending from above. That aerial image of a spaceship hiding at the south pole?  Just a lake by a mountain turned upside down.  That 3-fingered alien skeleton found in Peru I think it was?  Just a twisted compilation of multiple human remains (ok that one's actually quite interesting still but you get the idea.

Cant put my finger on why but gut instinct has me thinking he knows more than he's letting on

Both my wife and I thought there was something not right when we first saw him interviewed the day after.

 

I’m glad someone else has raised this as I thought we were both seeing something that wasn’t there.

 

Reminded me a bit of when Huntley was interviewed straight after Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman were murdered.

 

Could be way off the mark but my gut instinct says the same as yours...

Definitely got a bit of a "yep, the step Dad did it" about it. 

 

Could just be typically American though.
