And here's a big one: Why haven't we seen any video footage of Stephen Paddock whatsoever? Paddock carried out his attack in one of the most monitored cities in the world. You can scarcely find a nook or cranny of Las Vegas that isn't under video surveillance. Yet not even one second of Paddock video has leaked? No video of him carrying the gun-laden bags into the hotel? No video of him checking in? No video of whatever went down between Paddock and Campos? Not even any video of Paddock at one of the many casinos he frequented? We're told Paddock spent a lot of time in Vegas. There must be literally hundreds of hours of footage of him spread out between dozens of hotels and casinos. None of it has leaked? All of it was confiscated immediately?
Anyone who has ever been in a casino, from Vegas to the "Indian" ones in the Northeast, has probably noticed the security cameras. Not only are the visible cameras seemingly everywhere, but there are hidden ones as numerous and ubiquitous.
How is it, in a surveillance culture such as this, that we don't know more, much more, of what happened?
My old editor would have asked, "Who benefits from this story going away?"
