According to MGM, that hallway doesn't have a camera. It's probably the only one in Vegas that doesn't, which is another nice coincidence.
I’m about to start getting my tinfoil hat out about this shooting if the investigation doesn’t get unfucked soon. Too much garbage and conflicting reports to not raise eyebrows about what is going on here.
Too be fair this is LVPD, they have to strap every criminal to that chair with the anti spitting hood, they may be overwhelmed with this.
My guess is, if you asked about those cameras you'd get one of these answers: A) The cameras were made inoperable when he hosed the hallway with gun fire B) The cameras were broadcasting to his phone which was in his pocket and was subsequently broken when he shot himself and fell to the floor C) Before placing his phone in his pocket he shot it 100 times rendering the data unrecoverable D) All of the above
You know the worst part about all this? I spent so much time debunking dumb conspiracy shit amongst my FB friends, based on the real, actual, official information available at the time. Now they all get to say "I told you so". This is sarcasm.
I think they've got monkeys banging away at keyboards and when something legible appears they report it. "Lombardo also addressed the discrepancy on when Stephon Paddock checked into his room at Mandalay Bay. He said that they now know Paddock arrived on Sept. 25 and changed his registration on Sept. 28 so that his girlfriend, Marilou Danley, was included." Alrighty then.
Yeah, I just don't try to stay up on the latest breaking "news" like that, because I know half of it will be rampant unconfirmed speculation that is wrong anyway.
Still missing. Speculation is running amok, conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this one.
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-jesus-campos-20171017-story.html Who the fuck is this maintenance engineer and why are we just now hearing about him? Jesus Christ if this ain't THE most keystone kops investigation I've ever heard of. Somebody's trying *real hard* to save face over a dumb mistake. You watch, in the end the only cover-up will be of a massive fuck up.
I feel bad for our sheriff. He seems to be a decent guy and has done a good job up until this incident. Now the poor SOB is caught between the FBI, the casinos, the public and the visitors authority. Not a good position to be in.
It makes a little more sense now WHY this guy hid from the media: Ellen probably offered the most money providing they interview him first, so he ducked out of sight to avoid going on the record publicly until he made it to L.A.
I have no idea. Because media and other morons are treating this like it’s the next Oswald but really it seems like some guy who wanted to stay away from the rumour-spreading media circus. And given the modern state of media I can’t blame him one bit if that’s the case.
My off-the-wall guess has been that Jesus Campos isn’t his real identity, and he got spooked thinking he might get deported.
My guess is the easiest answer, coming to the international spotlight from a hugely traumatizing event lead to an insane amount of pressure he didn't want to be involved with so he mitigated some of it. The fuck?
