The 2017 Las Vegas shooting claimed the lives of over 50 people, making it the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in the United States. It has been reported that the shooting lasted 10 minutes [1]and that more than 1000 shoots were fired.[2]
Contents
Official narrative
Millionaire gambler and businessman Stephen Paddock took a number of guns up to his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort, Las Vegas. He then began shooting onto the crowd of concertgoers below, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds, making this mass shooting the deadliest ever committed by an individual in the United States. About an hour after firing his last shot into the crowd, the FBI stormed his room where they found Paddock had shot himself dead. Even months later, the authorities have no explanation for why Paddock started shooting, or why he stopped.[3]
Concerns
Some videos on YouTube appear to show gunshots coming from positions other than the 23rd floor, particularly the 4th floor.[4][5] On October 2, 2017 Mike Adams of Natural News claimed that the official narrative was ludicrous and that his forensic acoustic analysis indicates that there were two shooters.[6] On September,11th an anonymous user posted on 4chan that an incident will likely happen in the near future in Las Vegas.[7] Shepard Ambellas of Intellihub reported that he tracked unusual flight patterns of airplanes with the help of Flightradar24 which moved like helicopters, hovering over buildings in the direct vicinity at the time of the event, making possible the extraction of operators, as well as being another spot from which was fired.[8]
Corporate media reporting
Corporate media has assumed a fairly uncritical role, echoing the government's narrative[9]. Coverage of the attack was much less than other such shootings[citation needed] and allegations about Harvey Weinstein quickly dominated reporting[When?]. ABC news reported on 25 October that a "laptop computer recovered from the Las Vegas hotel room where Stephen Paddock launched the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was missing its hard drive".[10]
Response
In a move reminiscent of their response to 9-11, all CCTV of the attack was seized by the FBI and not publicly released.[11]
The incident resulted in increased debate about US Gun law, with attention focused on bump fire stocks, which Paddock reportedly used to allow his semi-automatic rifles to fire at a rate similar to that of a fully automatic weapon.[12] On 3rd November, the state of Massachusetts banned bumpstocks.[13]In January 2018, the attack was being used to teach 6th graders about gun law.[14]
Censorship
YouTube has been removing videos that challenge the US government's story of the attack.[11]
