Part two of the Las Vegas Mass Shooting in 2017, Sean, Jorge, and Eric—dive into one of the most perplexing and devastating events in modern U.S. history: the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Known as the deadliest mass shooting in America, it left 60 dead, over 850 injured, and countless questions that remain unanswered. This episode explores the investigation that unfolded in the days, weeks, and months following the attack. From the arsenal of weapons found in Paddock’s suite to his surveillance setup and cryptic handwritten notes, Sean, Jorge, and Eric dissect the layers of preparation that reveal a methodical yet inexplicable mind. The team also discusses Paddock’s digital footprint, including his unsettling searches for other large public events, his encrypted files, and his lack of an ideological manifesto. But what drives this discussion are the theories. Was Paddock motivated by financial stress, undiagnosed mental health issues, or an obsession with notoriety? Did his actions have ties to a broader, hidden conspiracy involving illegal arms deals or even government manipulation? And how credible are the claims of terrorism links made by groups like ISIS, which were ultimately dismissed by U.S. authorities? The boys also delve into the ripple effects of the tragedy. From the federal ban on bump stocks to MGM Resorts’ $800 million settlement with victims, they examine how the shooting changed the conversations around gun control, corporate responsibility, and public safety. Ultimately, Sean, Jorge, and Eric grapple with the central question: Why? Despite an exhaustive investigation, the lack of a definitive motive leaves a lingering sense of uncertainty and fuels endless speculation. Join the boys for a thoughtful, investigative into one of the most haunting events of our time, as they unpack the facts, the theories, and the unanswered questions surrounding the Las Vegas shooting.
