Is Sheriff Lombardo saying there could have been an accomplice?

[madaboutharry]

I'm listening to this press conference and it seems that he doesn't think it was the act of only one person. Did I hear him suggest this?

The Sheriff seems very exhausted.

1. That's what he said! No question about it.

Said he couldn't imagine anyone except a super (monster) pulling this off alone.

11. The man is tired...

Anyone with a brain, money, a complete lack of empathy and the internet could do this.

2. They don't know how...

he got all the weapons and ammunition into the hotel, including his car. So, they're looking at that angle, a possible accomplice.

3. I lived at the Bellagio for a few months

taking 10 hard cases or even large duffel bags up to a room isn't that big a deal, especially if you have a few days in which to do it.

5. Pretty easy to do and the bellhops are happy to help

[lapfog_1]

6. yup... in fact when you check in, just ask for a couple of

carts and bellhops
If everything is in hard cases they will likely never even question anything

7. The morning of/after the shooting,

I had NPR on, the LV based reporter said, all the hotels have metal detectors at the doors but, this particular hotel didn't have detectors at all the doors.

Personally, I think the sheriff should have kept his mouth shut about this angle of the investigation. All the angle is based on is the sheriff's question, "how?" No matter what though, the "it's a false flag" meme about the entire crime is already out there.

8. He had 3 days, he lived about and hr away ...

he could easily have made multiple roundtrips.

4. Early on I heard they were reviewing video footage if him talking

To some guy in a car. Haven't heard anything lately

[BannonsLiver]

9. My takeaway: I hope more competent people are investigating.

Not really impressed with the sheriff.

10. Really? Why are people so unwilling to believe that one demented person

could do this.

Let's see.
1 Anyone can buy any sort of gun in this country. Laws prohibiting felons are meaningless. In two words: gun shows.
2 Anyone who is interested can figure out how to alter guns so as to make them fully automatic.
3 Booking a room or suite in a high rise hotel is easy.
4 Figuring out which hotels have the kind of security that might notice you're bringing in massive amounts of weapons an ammunition is easy. Avoid those hotels.
5 Put up a do not disturb sign. No big deal.

I'm sure I've left out some things, but it's not at all difficult or complicated to figure out.

Oh, and underlying it all is that we live in a society where mass entertainment media (TV and movies) routinely show that problems can be solved by shooting up people and places.

As I said, not complicated or difficult at all.
