Here's a link to a 10:30-minute video (scroll to the bottom - Raymond page video) pretty much start to finish. At the end, there are guys checking for wounds and checking a tourniquet. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/...s-source-says/

Looks like some are taking First Aid more seriously: 'Stop the Bleeding' campaign teaches tourniquet techniques KGUN-TV, Tucson.

A woman who works for me was at the concert that night. She and her husband left so she could change into some more comfortable shoes back at the hotel. They were planning on returning, but received texts from some associates at the event telling them not to come back due to the shooting. Their friends evidently escaped or hid under the stage.

I saw this yesterday as I was walking by a TV tuned into the news conference yesterday.

My question is what is the point inspecting the brain? Unless I am missing something, it seems like we are entering the realm of a dog and pony show.

They found a tumor in Charles Witmans - it may help to address "why"

It doesn't mitigate this heinous crime, but with the perp dead, it may be the only source available..

The Mind Of A Mass Murderer: Charles Whitman, Brain Damage, And Violence (VIDEO)
By Cara Santa Maria

1.2k
780

On August 1, 1966, Charles Whitman murdered his mother and his wife before traveling to the campus of the University of Texas, climbing inside the tower, and killing fourteen others. He was dubbed the infamous UT sniper, but his story involves much more than Marine Corps training and a proclivity for violence. In fact, Whitman complained of headaches and an altered mental state in the days and weeks leading up to the killings. His own suicide note read that “I do not really understand myself these days. I am supposed to be an average reasonable and intelligent young man. However, lately (I cannot recall when it started) I have been a victim of many unusual and irrational thoughts.”

Whitman knew that something was wrong. His note further reads, “After my death I wish that an autopsy would be performed on me to see if there is any visible physical disorder.” And indeed there was. Whitman was found to have a glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor, pressing against regions of the brain thought to be responsible for the regulation of strong emotions.

Acoustic Forensics from Shooting

The link below contains a video of a gentlemen on youtube who has done some independent, acoustic forensics of the shooting. He's definitely asking the right questions IMHO.

It seems as though his math/theory is sound WRT the laws of physics.

Daggumit. Just when I ran out of aluminium foil

I want to see a control to test his postulate. Also more explanation on the signature echo and it’s impact or how he can differentiate which one is noise let alone isolate it. Finally, he should have stated that he assumed all was .223. Until there is forensic release of projectiles recovered, assumption is all he has.

I found the comments deletion disturbing though. This is some 1984 systematic censorship

Sorry about not providing the “tinfoil hat” caveat.

To bad he was shooting different guns and I am sure it was all the same ammo with the exact same velocity

Get a roll of tinfoil.

I hear the brain went to the Dallas facility where other brains have been lost.

Post one more like this and you can discuss it over at AR15.com because you will not be on this website anymore.



This is your and everyone else's only warning.

Leave the tinfoil hats at home.

Las Vegas shooting still a mystery as FBI closes investigation

Looking forward to the full, unredacted release of all of the information and evidence obtained by the FBI during the investigation. Especially the parts proving the use of bump stocks by the shooter.
