Probably been said, but the guns that were shown are easily modified into to fully automatics with just a bit of money. The bigger concern are the camera's he used and even bigger concern are the amount of red flags about this person that were not acted upon in Las Vegas. Which makes no sense seeing as how a person straight up vlogging could get banned from a number of related casino's but this guy managed to fade numerous red flags and pull this terrorism off. And yes, this is terrorism. For some reason America ( not you guys in particular ) has a problem labeling this as terrorism because he's white. No. This is terrorism . And the media is completely failing this country by not labeling it so. That is sad.

This might have been posted already but here is some pretty dramatic police radio traffic of the incident. For the record, a 419 is police code for a dead body.

Supposedly a math wizard who studied algorithms and created spread sheets to beat high stakes video poker machines. Bragged to his girlfriends brother in law that he played with a roll of a few million and was a frequent VIP guest at hotels throughout Nevada. Never played tables, only machines according to the witness. Interesting article about his background in gambling.

What red flags exactly? And terrorists always have an agenda.

By "studied algorithms," we may reasonably presume they mean "played optimal strategy on a 9/6 JOB." In other words, the way ANY person who read Wizard of Odds or other sites would likely have played...

Last time I put $100 in a video poker machine on a 9/6 JOB machine and played optimal strategy I lost the Benjamin before my comped drink arrived. Guess he was just lucky!

But did you have algorithms and spreadsheets?

If experiencing the world leads me to your line of thinking, I'm just going to go ahead and stay planted behind this keyboard.

Not sure if GBV reads NVG forum, but he probably has some insight into the AP methods of the shooter, and the associated comps he got along the way.

My Filipino girlfriend forgot them at home that day, and she got my Starbucks order wrong that morning. Hence why I'm now on Valium and writing this from the comfort of my gun room.

This.

AKAIK, there has been absolutely nothing found that should have indicated to anyone at anytime that this person was planning something like this and needed further looking into. In fact it seems to be the opposite so far.

That of course doesn't mean there aren't red flags. Just means I haven't heard of anything relevant yet.

And no, the fact that his GF may or may not have been an exotic dancer in the PI years ago (confirmed by a few internet photos I've seen), is not a red flag.

They probably think the dude made 5 trips to a solid black van parked in the valet circle with a full luggage rack consisting of heavy duty military style crates with spray painted labels saying "AR-15 .223" written all over them, while wearing black sunglasses and a trench coat with a little wire coming out of his ear.

So bizarre, that you can be intelligent enough to accrue millions and stupid enough to believe you've beaten video poker machines. Oh well I guess the shoe fits, only a ****ing moron would go on a killing spree like this too.

David Ortiz too

Random thoughts:

Wondering if Vegas will ever have another open air event within range of a tall building.

I am sure that the venue will never be used again for anything but a memorial. American Ninja Warrior will have to be recorded somewhere else as well as all the other events that used that lot.

Wondering what the story was with the woman who allegedly yelled 'you're all going to die tonight?' Would imply someone had to have had prior knowledge

New Years Eve?

Good point. That and 4th of July.

I was thinking concert like event.

To be terrorism it has to be politically motivated. The media isn't labeling it terrorism because he is white, its because his motives are still unclear.

Other options are crazy-person's lucky guess or psychic or female witness we saw interviewed made it up/remembered it incorrectly in a way that melded with what happened later that night.

So many cameras all over Vegas and we've seen so little (none?) casino-hotel produced footage.

FBI originally did not release phone recordings related to Pulse Night Club massacre from shooter where he said he was doing it on behalf of ISIS.

His father was a high profile bank robber. It's totally possible he left his kids some money hidden away. That in addition to being a boomer it isn't suprising he is wealthy.

I asked earlier but does anyone know how long he has been with his GF? If it is a newer relationship perhaps she influenced him in some way. If he kept spreadsheets and other data he must have journals pertaining to this incident.

I wonder if something screening visibility from nearby hotels would be feasible for future events. Not on this site necessarily, but for similar events elsewhere in LV.

security will probably be stepped up for high rises, especially over looking event venues.

The Secret Service doesn't allow any open windows on the president's route. They have spotters overlooking them all. If a window does open, they are on it at once.

I could see LVPD having spotters with print outs of buildings. A window comes open or broken out, something like '...room xxxx Harrah's, go!...'

I saw a short interview and his brother said he was a millionaire and loved to gamble.
