I don’t claim to be the biggest expert on the Las Vegas Shooting, but the lack of answers and results from this investigation is truly scary. Think about it, a major mass murder and months later we know nominally more information than we knew a week after the incident. The media, relatively silent on what should have been a news story stretching on for months. I supposed they think Donald Trump is more interesting to the masses, but I disagree. Matt Walsh noted that his article “WALSH: 58 People Were Killed In Las Vegas, We Still Don’t Know Why Or How, And Nobody Cares” was read by over 100000 people in a matter of days. We Americans are quite interested in finding answers. Perhaps we aren’t going about getting the answers the right way, because we are relying on journalist to revive and “old” news story, and a corrupt FBI to report details on the investigation. As citizens, we might be sitting on our hands. But the lack of transparency and answers serves to only worsen the situation. At the very least, this is incompetence. At the very most, it’s a cover up. Both are unacceptable.
I am making bold accusations, but many fishy signs about the lack of information point to the lack of information we have about Stephen Paddock’s stay at Mandalay Bay. Small stories trickle but no major insight have we yet seen.

The Las Vegas Review Journal is doing a good job maintaining dialog about the Las Vegas Shooting. They published this article on January 5th. Here are some of the highlights:
Mandalay Bay staff interacted with Las Vegas shooter more than 10 times in days before Oct. 1
“Mandalay Bay staff, room service and housekeeping had contact with Paddock or entered his suite more than 10 times over the course of his stay, including the three days leading up to October 1,” an MGM Resorts spokesperson said in an email.
Several media outlets questioned whether Mandalay Bay staff would have noticed the dozens of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition Paddock had brought to his room had they checked on him. But Mandalay Bay staff had made multiple contacts with Paddock and had entered his room at least once, according to the MGM Resorts statement.
“As a result of these interactions, there was no need to conduct a welfare check,” the MGM statement said.
Government Inefficiency?
Review Journal: FBI chief says report on Las Vegas shooting expected by anniversary
FBI investigation by the numbers
—400 specialists brought in
—1500 leads followed locally, 500 worldwide
—400 people interviewed about the gunman
—40 terabytes of data collected
—22,000 hours of video collected
—250,000 images collected
—14 days to comb through the 15-acre festival site
—13 days to collect evidence inside Mandalay Bay
—12 federal search warrants filed
—500 grand jury subpoenas issued
I can’t help but suspect this will just be Warren Commission 2.0. That’s a lot of data, a lot of people, and a lot of leads from which to gather more information. Unless there are other people involved and still free, withholding so much knowledge is irresponsible, only providing fodder for bad conspiracy theories and public distrust. If Stephen Paddock truly acted alone, providing a coherent timeline on the Las Vegas Shooting and events leading up to it, should have been done by now. Is the government being incompetent, inefficient, or hiding something? At very least, the FBI should answer key questions and publish its report in full detail later on.
Las Vegas culture
TruePundit would have you think that Andrew McCabe is behind all of this. I don’t trust TruePundit, but its hard not to take their articles into minor consideration. McCabe is a corrupt figure, but being involved is a stretch. However, after the Walsh article came out, I was reminded of the old saying “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” This may reveal why we don’t have the answers we need. MGM International Resorts is one of the most powerful companies in Las Vegas, and their Mandalay Bay so happened to be the crime scene. Now it’s possible for some nefarious reason they want to withhold as much information as they can. Hotels/ Casinos in Las Vegas are notoriously well monitored. TruePundit published an article on January 9th, claiming that:
“No one has seen that on the video we were provided by MGM,” a FBI source said. “Vegas (PD) has looked at the same video. Paddock is on surveillance video but the guns are not. He’s not carrying bags or cases with rifles.”
How did more than 12 assault rifles get into Paddock’s hotel suite then?
FBI sources noted that there could in fact be video proof of Paddock transporting a dozen guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition to his 32nd-floor hotel suite in Mandalay Bay but MGM Resorts International, who owns the hotel, could be hiding the video.
Paddock supposedly stayed as a guest at Mandalay Bay for several days prior to his alleged role in the rampage which gunned down over 500 people, including 58 who were killed. Yet, FBI sources show no video of him transporting guns to the 32nd floor?
I don’t trust anonymous sources, even if they are saying something with a reasonable possibility of being true. However, this could also be the reason as to why with 22000 hours of video basic questions have gone unanswered. The more credible Las Vegas Review Journal published details on a lawsuit filed against Mandalay Bay, among others, for gross negligence and even instances of wrongful death. Perhaps, Mandalay Bay would like to not pay millions in a lawsuit for something that smells profusely of gross negligence. This is preferable to believe as opposed to the ugly conspiracy theories out there.
The Silence
The Review Journal article got some conversation going, but we are still far from where we need to be. I’m going to quote Matt Walsh on this
In fairness, some media outlets have sued the FBI to gain access to information about the shooting, but they could put more pressure on the Powers That Be if they actually reported on the story and asked this question publicly. Or this question:
How did he do it? We know he used a gun. Or guns. He had dozens of guns in the hotel room with him. How did he get them all in there? How did he set up a kill room in a major American hotel without anyone noticing? How did he manage to shoot hundreds of people from 500 yards away at night? Was he trained? Where did he train? Who trained him?
We cannot allow ourselves to become complacent on the issue allowing several questions to go unanswered. As I noted in my previous article on the Las Vegas Shooting is so tragic, it’s had a ripple effect of other victims. More people are dying and I imagine the lack of information available fails to mitigates the tragedy at all. Thus it is all the more important to keep up the conversation.
#BoycottMandalayBay to make some noise?
The Las Vegas Review Journal has done a tremendous job, but others should step it up, too. Mandalay Bay only answered a handful of questions in for their January 5th article, leaving other key questions unaddressed. Mandalay Bay already seems to be hurting from the fallout of the shooting, but perhaps people voicing a boycott could get the Las Vegas Shooting trending again. To me, this beats waiting nine more months to get answers. I spitball ideas because the public has waited long enough for answers. There is a good possibility that Mandalay Bay is hiding information, as well as the FBI and LVMPD.

Possibility of New Information
Another recent story was tweeted by Craig Fiegener as well.
Stephen Paddock had at least 7 cell phones/mobile devices. Seems like a lot for a “lone wolf,” as described by cops. Media hearing to unseal search warrants— next week. #LasVegasShooting. pic.twitter.com/sKtu78HSec

On January 16th, we may get more information about Stephen Paddock. A court hearing is scheduled to possibly unseal the findings of the exercised search warrants. What is currently known about the search warrants are that the police obtained text messages dating back at least a year on seven phones Stephen Paddock had. This may be our only chance for a long while, and we can only hope that the media lawyers bring their A game.
Closing Thoughts
I find it highly unnecessary to wait until the Warren Commission 2.0 comes out with their report in October. We the people need answers. Local media is doing some investigative journalism but we as citizens all need not remain silent over the Las Vegas Shooting. 58 people died and it’s still a mystery to the public. We need to vocalize our dissatisfaction with the FBI, LVMPD, and Mandalay Bay over the information they have withheld from us and perhaps a false narrative they have perpetuated. Don’t forget. Never forget. Keep the conversation going. Let us not relent again.
