oportetOne year ago today - one man in Las Vegas killed 58 people, and injured 851 more.
He had no help. He had no motive. He didn't leave a note. He didn't mail a video confession to the local news station, he didn't blog about it, he didn't mention it to anyone. With some help from the unknowing staff, he brought 22 suitcases (containing 24 guns) into his room - a fairly normal number I suppose - as it did not raise any suspicion among anyone. It took ten minutes to narrow down where the 1100+ rounds were coming from, and another hour and twelve minutes before his room was breached and he was found dead.
Who do you consider to be a crazy conspiracy theorist - someone who doesn't buy all that, or someone that does?
I wish there was some kind of job - nay, an entire profession full of people trained to look into stories - figure out the who, what, when, where, and why of events like this.
I'm not putting all the blame on an incompetent(or lying, or both) government/law enforcement, and a completely useless news media.
At the core, it's our fault. Maybe there's only so much room in our brains - each new thing we learn threatens to fill it up and bump an old fact out - so we're forced to choose between knowing what really happened in Vegas, and how many scoops of ice cream Donald Trump likes to have.
