500 people injured doesn't mean 500 people shot.

I used to run with that theory as well because you assume people got trampled or fell and got hurt or whatever but I keep reading news reports that "He killed almost 60 and shot almost 500." So I use their numbers now.

I don't disagree with you though.

EDIT: For example - http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41493409

"Stephen Paddock, the gunman who killed 58 people and injured more than 500 in Las Vegas on Sunday, set up a number of cameras in and around his hotel suite."

The news used to always call rifles used in crimes ak-47's and pistols glocks. Inaccuracy is just the way of the media, it's about selling a point, not perfect accurate information distribution to the public.

And your example. "killed 58 people and injured more than 500" they say injured not shot. Even the killed 58 people someone might of had a heart attack and died caused by the shooting.

Even if 500 people were shot ~50% accuracy into a mass of flesh the size of a city block isn't that spectacular. Early audio analysis done by 4chan came up with the guy shooting about 1500shots. So figure 33% accuracy and likely it was much higher than that because people were likely hit more than once.

So I fail to see how this is anything other than a distraction from the real shady shit that is being covered up. Things like why did he rent a car when he owned one, what was his motive, and how did he earn a living.

That means at over 1200' away every other bullet hit someone...

So you acknowledge this isn't true yet you post this bullshit anyway?

So I use their numbers now.

Why in the world would you take something a presstitute said as valuable? It has no value, it is only meant for propaganda purposes. You certainly can't use it as a premise for an argument.

Honestly, I would delete this post. It does nothing to further discussion and only makes Voat look bad. Just my 2 cents.

Not true, you can see one guy get shot fall down and never move again, there are even some still shots of him in the same position he fell in.
