Pay no attention to the men behind the curtain

Investigators search for Stephen Paddock's motive behind the Las Vegas shooting.

Investigators discover a hard drive missing from one of the computers in Stephen Paddocks hotel room.

Bruce Paddock is arrested on charges of possessing child abuse images on his computer.

Bruce Paddock has his hard drives confiscated by investigators.

Really makes you think.

Yeah. We know there are only two brothers and Stephen is still alive and they invented the third.

Does your asshole ever get jealous of the shit that comes out of your mouth?

>Brucy beating it to CP while his bro was live streaming on his second monitor

Remember Steve filmed himself, as early news reports show.

He filmed himself with no hard drive?

Ok,taking what WH user said last night.. Why were the revelations about Campos' trip, the hard drive, and (Bruce) all revealed yesterday? What relevance do the three have to each other?

Duhh?? That's why it's gone.
No way an old man like him shot 600 people in less than 2h

Sick burn.

They are claiming the hard drive is missing. Implying he or (((they))) had it at one point according to their investigation, and now do not.

they announced they found a laptop in paddocks room but they did not have the hard drive for it.
Really makes you wonder what could have happened to in the the 75 minutes it took for LVMPD to get in the hotel room after the shooting and who could have gone in there and taken it in that time

the phones could have acted as the drive

To law enforcement, CP is to memory storage what drugs are private domiciles.

Want probably cause to search someone's house? It's problematic to create a stolen property claim out of thin air; you actually need someone to claim their property was taken. It's easy as fuck to say to a judge, "yeah, we suspect he's in possessions of narcotics" because the object comes from the black market and has no trail of ownership. Also, drugs are so pervasive that you can make an easy argument that anyone might be in possession of them. So you have a warrant based on the essential nothing more than the word of one LEO. Don't find drugs once your No-Knock warrant is served? No problem, you have amazing access to any drug you'd want to plant and know exactly how to cover your trail.

CP operates the same way. You don't need evidence of complex fraud, hacking or terrorism; just the suspicion that someone has the right arrangement of 1s and 0s is all it takes to seize every electronic device they own. At the mere mention of CP procession you lose half of everyone's benefit of the doubt or skepticism of the subsequent charges, at least. No one wants to defend a pervert or be seen as sympathetic to a monster. And where did this suspicion originate? Network analytics so complex that no one other than experts even knows if it's actually legitimate or just fabricated out of thin air. By the time you have their devices in custody, it doesn't matter if there's nothing incriminating because it's simple to sprinkle in a little digital narcotic evidence. And oh look, you found evidence of an unrelated criminal conspiracy. Lucky find, your honor. We'd like to use a plea deal to drop the CP charges in exchange for more depth on this other thing we found. The suspect will either take it or end up in federal prison with a pedotarget on his back. Good job, damn fine investigative work!

Go ahead and boot your laptop from your phone.
I’ll wait.

tl;dr CP is the easiest way to silence someone - assuming you don't want to kill them

hot damn that was pretty good dawg

Ya and killing raises red flags

I'm just jerking your chain. Clearly, Bruce Paddock told his brother traps were gay, which caused Stephen to go on a shooting spree. But as one last fuck you to his brother, Stephen filled a laptop with cheesy goodness, and planted it on his brother.

>ISIS claims responsibility almost instantly
>NO NO, he was a LONE WOLF and we have found NO motivation
>leaked photos show a suicide note
>Well, he couldn't be MUSLIM, because his room service receipt shows a soup that has BACON in it!
>Room service receipt says that there were 2 guests in the room, didn't you assure everyone that he was alone?!
and now
>The harddrive was removed
>He had set up extensive harddrive wiping systems, so he wouldn't have to remove his harddrive

And this friends is why you encrypt your actually important data secretly within the empty spaces of a disk otherwise filled up with "encrypted" jailbait images of girls who are conveniently just ever so slightly over 18.

Keep your eyes open for Bruce's upcoming "suicide"

>this was a CIASISDSIC op gone south and some white hats intervened and are holding the evidence for punishedTRUMP.

It's the ds equivalent of calling someone a racist cis white scum i.e. "Shut it down".
