What has become obvious to me is the casino provides the guard a vacation so news can not get to him and surfaces after it is sure that they minimumized to some extent some liabilitys. The second obvious thing is someone got in the room and may have removed the hard drive from the laptop.

What do you mean what happened?

We know what happened. Some gambling addict decided to bring a truck full of weapons and ammo into a casino hotel and shoot up the town below, instead of enjoying his free drinks, free meals, and hours of endless fun at the video poker terminals.

Who would pick the latter over the former?

I predicted early on that the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth behind this tragic event would never see the light of day. Thus far, I'm right.

Thus far you are too right. I wish you were wrong.

What evidence indicates that we haven't heard all there is to know?

Occam's Razor: Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected.

Too many unanswered questions.

Hard to argue with that kind of fact-filled response.

I kept it short because I thought you'd be more up to speed on this tragedy. I'm not alone on this thread either because other here think this way. Also, people outside our small corner of cyberspace think that way. See below as atypical examples.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/11/us/las...uit/index.html

Etc., etc, etc.

As long as you are satisfied, no sense in asking meaningless questions like

Was he aiming for a bigger target? Aviation tanks
Did he have an accomplice?

Did he have a suicide note?
How did he transfer weapons to his room?

Why did he wire $100,000 to Philippines?
Why were there blocked exit at concert?

Motive?
How did he get tannerite ?

Why was security so soft?
Why no security video?

What did his girlfriend know?
Was it linked to gambling debts?

Did he inherit mental problems from his father?

You get the point.

Thank you. I just didn't feel like banging all that out. Been super busy today with my buddy's handicapping software project.

They are meaningless questions, except for the question about an accomplice, for which there is no solid evidence. None of those things make any difference today, and few if any can ever be answered by anyone other than the dead guy. How could answers to any of that change the conclusion that it was a nut job with a bunch of guns and a death wish? Inquiring minds want to know?

Maybe the authorities aren't releasing any more information because there is none. In this modern era of instant anonymous communication, does anyone believe that if such information existed, it would not have been leaked by now?
