las vegas shooting thread, dumping files related to the shooting, some of these are very graphic, especially most of the videos, I'll attach everything to this one post so it doesn't end up getting split up

some basic facts:

  • the rate of fire does not match a bumpstock's 800-1400rpm
  • paddock was not the body found in the room
  • john titor predicted the shooting and pinpointed the area it would happen
  • marylou danley, paddock's girlfriend, was an fbi asset
  • the cops got the basic timeline of events leading up to the shooting wrong (or just lied)
  • the body was moved at least once due to the presence of both a dry bloodstain and a wet one on top of it
  • in the photo of "paddock" dead, his earlobes are detached. in all other photos of paddock the earlobes are attached.
  • there was fireworks that went off directly in front of the stage in the seconds before the shooting started
  • there was small arms fire in the crowd
  • even police on the scene seemed to think there was someone in the crowd (pans his flashlight around like he's looking for someone or something)
  • they said it was 100 round extended mags, but the first volley has 103 bullets
  • many of the first reports, and even people interviewed on the news reported multiple shooters
  • 3 rounds of small arms in the crowd after fireworks started

conjecture based on evidence:

real paddock was gun runner for fbi killed by cia. some kind of isis(cia) link indicates foul play. many shooters and actors in many hotels and in the crowd. small arms fire in the crowd goes slow and steady, then two quick shots. sounds like taking aim. indicates targets in the crowd. possibly at hotels too. there may have been many vips that no one knows about. fbi asset marylou danley indicates foul play. lends to fbi link. the massive ammo and gun purchases lend to gun runner. weird framejob.

there were fireworks front stage. then small arms. then shooting starts during fireworks. flashing coming from 4th maintenance floor. many shooters in crowd. many shooters across hotels. many people died from headshots lending multiple shooters in crowd. lots of targets. causing chaos. cops are unsure confused. delayed response. cars missing indicate who was with real paddock left hotel. real paddock sent girlfriend home out of the country and sent 100k$USD. he knew. -john knew. alex jones reported it two days prior- sept 30.

big mess. something avoided. ruined clean up job. goal was gun control. goal was vips. goal was increased security. goal was fear. goal was national gun legislation. real paddock is a patsy. the body isn't paddock.

survivor claiming multiple shooters in crowd, and at multiple hotels and decides to plan survivor group: https://archive.is/gZqOQ

I have been receiving phone calls, messages & texts galore since Sunday night, and I have been providing the same copy & pasted message to each of those who have contacted me. A really quick, vague, account of what happened at the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas. It has been nearly 72 hours since the nightmare took place, and I am finally able to sit here & put into words my own personal account. I have attached some photos of the fun we did have.
I would first like to give a huge giant thank you to both Casie Barnard & Ricky Ardito, without them I can guarantee you I wouldn’t have gotten out like I did- I would have dropped to the floor, stunned, and I would not have been able to get up. I owe them both my life.
Sunday morning we woke up sore & hungover from the nights before. Friday & Saturday nights were a blast- we drank too much, and fought the crowd to get as close to the stage as possible. We acted like we were in our early 20s and hitting Vegas for the first time; however, when we woke up Sunday we all were in complete agreeance that we would not be doing that again. We decided, instead, to bring in a king sized sheet & sit on the astro-turf in the way, way back & just peacefully watch the concert from our spacious sheet. We also decided to drink the morning and afternoon of, but not the evening, as Ricky, Cassie & Mendy had an early day ahead of them, having to leave at 4am to get Ricky to work Monday morning. When we had full bellies & got our retail fix in-shopping the vendors, we headed to the main stage where we immediately sought out that back sitting area. Unfortunately, we procrastinated getting to our seats for too long, and every spot was taken. We ultimately ended up on the next fake-grass area much closer to the stage- but we still had a decent amount of space & great viewing area, so we spread out our sheet and claimed it our territory. We remember exactly where we were, because most of us (excluding myself) left to go to the bathroom & get water during the concert, so we used landmarks to be able to find each other again. I remember distinctly that one of the bars was to my left and I had to look behind me to see it- thinking maybe I should get one more beer, but I already had a full bladder & I have an irrational fear of porta-potties, so I decided against it.
We are all hanging out on this sheet, dancing our booties off, enjoying ourselves so much that we took off our boots to get even more comfortable. Casie & I were on opposite sides of our little 5-person group. I was on the far right side, and I had so much room to dance that this guy who walked by, who we called “camo man”, actually said to me “taking up a lot of real estate there, eh?” jokingly. After about 20 minutes of Jason Aldean’s set, I got this overwhelming feeling to go stand over by Casie. I can’t tell you why, but I did. The entire time I was dancing next to her I kept thinking to myself, “why? Why don’t I go back to my spacious area?? There is no room to dance over here.. I am not having a good time over here… okay, on the next song I will”. But, there wasn’t a next song.
From about 50 feet in front of us, and a little to the right, fire crackers were set off. Let me repeat that… FIRE CRACKERS WERE SET OFF. I verbally stated “some asshole just shot of fire crackers in close proximity to so many people”. I was literally pissed off. You could see Jason Aldean look to his left kind of startled by it, but he was also clearly irritated. I would say about 15 seconds later, the first volley of gunfire was released. It was a shorter volley than any of the others, and the gunfire was not as close together either. EVERYONE looked up, down, around. We thought it was more fire crackers at first, but then Ricky reached over, told us all to put our boots on, quickly. And the volley ended. Then people started to panic. The gentlemen behind me looked at me as I was putting on my boots, half laying down, and said “calm down crazy, its just fireworks, jeez”. That is when the 2nd volley went off, Ricky yelled at us all to get down, flat, & we immediately knew there was someone shooting at us. I remember getting down, but I didn’t lay flat for some reason, thinking- oh my gosh, I need to get flatter than I am now, but my body just wouldn’t let me. That was the 2nd volley. At the end of that volley ( I am still struggling to get my boots on), we turned and tried to run, but the people behind us still weren’t moving. I yelled at the lady “RUN! ITS GUNFIRE! RUUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!” The look on her face was pure terror, but she finally dropped her stuff and turned to begin running…. But then the 3rd volley hit… and it was close. Very, very close to us. I could physically see the impact of the bullets on the astro-turf, I could feel the warmth & the passing of bullets. Once that 3rd volley was over, Casie linked her arm into mine, and we decided at that moment we weren’t stopping- we were getting the Hell out of there. And I do mean Hell. We were in literal Hell. The gentlemen that mocked me stating it was just fireworks fell to the ground, and he never got back up. The lady behind me (who was now in front of me) who was terrified as I told her to run, never got back up. I actually had to physically step over her body to run (something I am still struggling with, so please don’t attack me. I was absolutely in flight-or-fight mode). There was another person to my right who also wasn’t moving. We ran. I don’t know what direction we ran, I don’t know towards which landmark we ran. We just ran. It was at this time our group got split up. Casie & I were together. Ricky, Cassie & Mendy were together.
We were rounding some sort of corner maybe- and I looked to the right and I saw this large cowboy sitting down with his legs spread, holding a blood-soaked woman. I thought to myself “we NEED to hide”, but as I looked quickly for somewhere to go, the gunfire once again got closer and closer. We couldn’t hide because they (and I do mean THEY) were chasing us. That exact moment is when I started to really panic. That is the exact moment in which I thought this was it, I was going to die, I was never going to see my family again. So, as we are running, we approach this fence where men are throwing women over, and we ran up to it as they had knocked It down, so we were able to get out. As we crossed the threshold of the venue, my mind went straight to other mass shootings and hearing the victim’s families in my head talk about how they never got to say goodbye. I did not want this for my husband (who was at work) & my grandma (who had my daughter, Scarlett). So, at 10:07pm I called my husband franticly leaving him a voicemail- telling him that I loved him and was in the middle of a shooting & I wasn’t sure if I would make it out alive. Next, while still running, I called my grandma to tell her the exact same thing. But the gunfire wasn’t stopping this whole time. It wasn’t ceasing. It wasn’t slowing down. And It was directly behind us, following us. Bullets were coming from every direction. Behind us, in front of us, to the side of us. But I know, I just know, that there was someone chasing us. The entire time I felt this way. The farther we got from the venue, the closer the gunfire got. I kept looking back expecting to see the gunmen- and I say MEN because there was more than one person. There was more than one gun firing. 100% more than one.
As we were running, we kept changing direction, because it felt like no matter what direction we took, we were being followed. So we ended up running in a weird triangular path. The first place I remember getting to was a parking lot, and I told Casie (who was slightly in front of me) we needed to get under one of the trucks. She turned to me and started her way back to me, and that is when the gunfire got even CLOSER than ever before. It was RIGHT THERE. It was within the parking lot. Everyone around us was panicking once again. So we ditched the idea of getting underneath a vehicle, and we continued the run for our lives. If you know me, you know I am a big girl, who is out of shape, and who definitely does not run for any reason. But I can tell you I ran like I have never run before.
The 2nd place I remember going by was Hooters- which is where we met back up with the rest of our small group. We ran towards the entrance thinking we could take cover there, but as we got closer, a stampede of people ran out, terrified. We could only conclude that there was another gunman inside of that hotel. This made us even more scared- we had nowhere to go- no one to trust. At some point, we ended up at the airport & even entered the building for safety. Everyone as we entered were screaming at the staff “IS IT SAFE IN HERE?” but we weren’t getting anyone to answer us, so after running about 30 feet into the building, not getting the answers we so desperately needed, we decided it, too, wasn’t a safe spot, so we got out of there quickly and continued running.
After all this running, we were tired, sore & having to stop to cough, gag and even vomit. We ran across an intersection & us & another group of people pleaded with a limo driver to let us in and get us out of there. He was clearly confused & didn’t understand what was going on, so he didn’t let us in. Next, we ran to a taxi van & she was willing to let us in, but she told us her van only held 4 people & she wasn’t going to let the 5 of us in, so we said screw it and continued running. At one point, we ran passed a small liquor store where they so graciously gave us water bottles. We passed UNLV as well.
Some things I can’t remember exactly where we were or at what time of the night they happened. But we were running along what I am guessing was Tropicana Avenue, and this dark colored sedan drives by, slows a little, and a smaller Hispanic, dark-haired woman leans out the window, and she yells something we couldn’t understand in a clearly taunting manner. It really freaked us out, because again, we didn’t know who we could and could not trust.
I don’t remember at which time, but at some point, Ricky was reminded by Cassie that his Uncle Manny lived in Vegas. He called him, and we made a plan to meet him at a grocery store a couple miles away to get picked up. We finally made it to him, he shoved us all in his car, drove us to our hotel (we stayed off the strip), waited for us to pack (this literally took us all of 10 minutes max to do), and escorted us to the freeway to get us home. A HUGE thank you to Uncle Manny for his love, generosity & kindness.
The what-ifs still kill me. What if we hadn’t decided to be chill that night? What if we went to the same sardine-like spot we were in the two previous nights? What if we had been drinking as much as we had been Saturday night? Would we have had the reaction time to escape? What if I hadn’t had the desire to move next to Casie? Would we have been separated? There are still so many what-ifs from that night.
I have bene watching the news non-stop since I arrived back home to my family. And it just doesn’t make sense. The story that are feeding everyone doesn’t add up to our eyewitness accounts. There is something wrong with what they are saying & the evidence seems fake if you ask me. There are multiple people stating that there was a lady towards the beginning of the evening who had made her way up to the stage warning people that we were all gunna die- her and her boyfriend were escorted off the premises. Why has she not been mentioned by authorities? Every single survivor I have talked to also remembers multiple shooters, and at least one from the ground- why aren’t we being taken more seriously? Tons of things don’t add up.
I know I am forgetting a bunch of what happened, and I will edit this post to include it as I remember.
I praise our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, for surviving a horrific incident. People were dropping like flies all around me, and there is absolutely ZERO reason why I wasn’t at least struck with a bullet. I left the Route 91 Festival completely unharmed physically, besides some scrapes and super sore bones & muscles. Mentally, however, is a different story. I do okay during the day, but as soon as nightfall hits, I get super scared & anxious. I am even typing this up with butterflies in my stomach and a racing heart. I don’t want to be alone. I don’t want to go anywhere, ever. I can no longer be in any place with large crowds- concerts, festivals, theme parks, zoos, etc. I can no longer trust anyone around me. I can no longer close my eyes without seeing those bodies & hearing the sound of gunfire. I am ruined, as are thousands upon thousands of people.
We were given wristbands to wear for the 3-day event. I can’t seem to take mine off.
We went to Las Vegas for a super fun, down to Earth country concert featuring our favorite artists. We left scared, scarred, traumatized and broken. And for that, we demand answers.

  • paddock sold guns according to court documents. it makes sense now why he had so many different types of guns and attachments. but the emails do not read like two people working out a deal it reads like one person doing all the talking.

> PADDOCK to MARILOU DANLEY. It is unclear what the purpose of the wire transfer was, but MARILOU DANLEY is known to have been in the Phillippines at the time.
> 15. Additionally, on July 6, 2017, Target Account 1 sent an email to centralpark4804@gmail.com which read, "try an ar before u buy. we have huge selection. located in the vegas area." Later that day, an email was received back from centralpark4804@gmail.com to Target Account 1 that read, "we have a wide variety of optics and ammunition to try." And lastly, Target Account 1 later sent an email to centralpark4804@gmail.com that read, "for a thrill try out bumpfire ar's with a 100 round magazine." Investigators believe these communications may have been related to the eventual attack that occurred at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

putting the emails together it very much reads like a coherent sales pitch. there is no logic to telling a salesperson about your own stock when they sell the same stuff:

I remember when this happened, I heard the footage of the gunfire and immediately thought the gun shooting was either an m60 or an m240 machine gun. 400-700rpm in a steady rate. A bumpstock could not fire that steady for a sustained period.

Paddock worked for the postal service, then as an internal auditor for a company that Lockheed Martin bought, and then for the IRS.

> Paddock listed his occupation as postal carrier at the time of their marriage. He worked for a predecessor to Lockheed Martin for three years in the late 1980s, according to a company statement. His brother-in-law said he was an accountant; public records describe him as an internal auditor.

> Investigators piecing together 64-year-old Stephen Paddock's life found he worked for the Internal Revenue Service and as an auditor for defense contracts. But Paddock apparently started his government service via a far more humble route: working two years as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service from 1976-1978. That appears to overlap with his time at Cal State Northridge, from which he graduated in 1977.
>
> A spokeswoman for the Office of Personnel Management told The Associated Press that Paddock then worked as an agent for the IRS for six years until 1984. Paddock then was employed as an auditor focused on defense contracts for a little over a year, federal personnel records showed.

> Paddock also worked in the 1980s for one of the companies that later combined to form aerospace contractor Lockheed Martin, according to The New York Times.

more reports of multiple shooters in many locations:

> “All these people started running and screaming, and then that stopped for about a minute, and then more people started coming in the other way and ran through where I was,” he said. “There were so many people walking and running and people crying and people saying there’s an active shooter on the street, so I finally asked one of the waitresses what’s going on and she said the shooter is outside of the casino.”
> [...]
> Two men near the Mandalay Bay said they heard a helicopter with a bullhorn yelling “Go! Go! Go!” as the incident unfolded.
> [...]
> Alfonzo Ewing said he had arrived shortly before midnight for an overnight shift as a cook at the White Castle at the Best Western Plus Casino Royale on the northern side of the strip, a little more than 2 miles from the Mandalay Bay.
>
> “We heard reports of gunshots and customers rushed to jump the counter for safety. Everyone just took off running from the White Castle and the hotel,” said Ewing, 37. “Employees and customers went downstairs to hide in the break room. We’re here now, 15 of us, with customers. We’re safe but we don’t know what’s happening.”

even snopes had to admit Kymberley's death was strange: https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/10/14/survivor-las-vegas-mass-shooting-dies-suddenly/ https://archive.is/95htw

another weird snopes admission- a woman described as hispanic and in her 50's yelled out to the crowd.... "They're all around ... You're all going to die tonight"

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/woman-warned-las-vegas-shooting/ https://archive.is/uvdqu

> Hendricks: There was a lady who pushed her way forward into the concert venue, into the first row, and she started messing with another lady and told us that we were all going to die tonight. Reporter: Do you know why she was saying that? I mean, was this after the shots were fired? Hendricks: It was about 45 minutes before the shots were actually fired, but then she was escorted out by security.
>
> Reporter: How does that make you feel? Hendricks: It makes me feel uncomfortable, especially coming here for my 21st birthday and not even knowing if I'm safe going home tomorrow on an airplane. ...Reporter: And were you thinking 'Oh my gosh, this woman told us that before we left'? Hendricks: Yeah, I thought it had a positive correlation to it. Like, obviously she was telling us that either to tell us, to warn us, or to tell us that we were all going to die and she was part of it.

heres the usual snopes, they say "no shooter on 4th floor" but its possible that the floor that the flashing light is coming from is a mainenance floor, which would mean someone who works for the building might have placed it there. it caused a lot of people to think that the shooting was coming from a lower floor (was the light placed there on purpose?)

> I haven't seen any flashes from Mandalay, but if it is coming from Mandalay there is a strobe light coming from one of those windows on the east side.

edit: youll notice they "debunk" a second shooter the classic snopes way: strawman. by the time this article came out pretty much everyone thought the shooting was coming from the north or north west, not two shooters at the hotel

the official narrative says the airport was totally shut down, but this flight log shows more than a few flights still landing and coming in......

https://thepointsguy.com/2017/10/mass-shooting-closes-las-vegas-airport/

paddock intended to escape after the shooting according to police

> Sheriff Lombardo said there was evidence to suggest the 64-year-old retired gambler intended to stay alive after he killed 59 people and injured more than 500 from his 32nd floor room at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on Sunday night.
>
> But the sheriff did not say what the evidence was.

> The disclosures were among several new details revealed by the clark county sheriff, who also speculated Paddock could have “had help”.

this wasn't even considered a terrorist attack by the federal gov/feds (but for the state it was)

> When asked if the shooting was terrorism, Lombardo told reporters that the act falls under the state’s definition, but not the federal definition. He added: “I would personally call it a terrorist act. It had an influence on a certain demographic of people, intended to cause harm to include injuries.”

terrorist/terrorism connections challenged by police (not isis/isil)

> Police also said there was “no evidence of radicalization or ideology to support any theory that Paddock supported or followed any hate group or any domestic or foreign terrorist organization.” This was stated before, in January’s preliminary report.

While going through the wiki for the shooting I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting#Thousand_Oaks_shooting

I don't even remember hearing about the Thousand Oaks incident (11/7/2018)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Oaks_shooting#Victims

Very strange, unlucky, or .... was it something more :tinfoil:

an impromptu team along with two hotel security entered flamingo sometime during the shooting and according to one senior law enforcement it was to secure video footage of the event. i have no idea what this means. i know there was legitimately a reported shooting/injury there, and you can see the stretcher the officers are carrying in along with hands up! hands up! to make sure they're safe on their way in, again indicating an active shooter situation.

they took the best hotel footage of the shooting along with luxor and mandalay bay footage

unsure how to confirm if it happened during the shots on the crowd or after "paddocks" shooting had stopped but the news said it was both during and after the shooting. what the news and the senior official said. there were many many reports of different hotels getting attacked - check up thread for that... im just wondering why they had the inclination to secure footage in a small impromptu rushed team. the bodies aren't even cold and they want the footage for some reason

which tells me they thought it would be stolen or erased most surely. either one of the many reported shooters would steal it, and the cops had to beat them, or the cops were the ones stealing it.

when you consider jason aldeans lawyer died so close to when the couple in the car crash died. not to mention he was inside the investigation in contact with fbi and police and he had been pushing for getting the footage released. its also very strange that he died the same way kymberley died- in their sleep

> According to a senior law enforcement official involved in the investigation, the seven man team was comprised of one FBI tactical officer, standing in the back left of the formation, and six officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department who were drafted last minute for this impromptu raid.
Their mission, according to the senior official, was to secure the video footage being captured from the Tropicana's south facing external surveillance cameras, which were recording an unparalleled high definition view of the massacre from beginning to end.

more on jason aldeans lawyer that died 30 days after the shooting:

> Describing meetings with MGM, Las Vegas police, and the FBI as “incredibly strange and complex” to one of his friends on recently made private Facebook threads, the attorney was privy to inside information that the FBI, by announcing they are no longer holding press conferences and the investigation is closed, have chosen to withhold from the public.
>
> Orville Almon, known as a straight shooting attorney to the many Nashville musicians he represented, has become the latest in a very long line of suspicious deaths and disappearances surrounding the Las Vegas shooting.
>
> Almon’s death, described by local Nashville media as “seizure during sleep”, mirrors that of Kymberley Suchomel of Apple Valley, California, a shooting survivor who was found dead in her home, hours after her husband left for work.
>
> Ms. Suchomel gave a very detailed account of what happened in Las Vegas, insisting there were multiple gunmen involved in the shooting. Claiming that mainstream media was not telling the truth, Kymberley was planning on creating a survivor’s group to continue the quest for truth and justice.

some more info about marylou danley and paddocks relationship. not very important, just note that they were big gamblers together, paddock was loaded, and marylou was married to paddock while being married to another man. also of note is that he sent her to the philippines and wired her 100k$ USD in the two weeks prior to the shooting

> Interestingly, a little more than two weeks before Stephen opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers, he got Marilou tickets to visit her family in the Philippines. She initially believed that this was his method of breaking up with her, but he appeared to be overly generous and even mentioned that he would be wiring her money so that she could buy a house for herself and her family. True to his word, Stephen sent his girlfriend about $100,000, and Marilou hoped he was planning for the future.
>
> Since Marilou was given free tickets to visit her family in the Philippines, she was in the Asian country on October 1, 2017, when Stephen began shooting

"There were also reports of shots being fired at the Hakkasan nightclub, while the Bellagio was evacuated amid reports of a gunman with a rifle. Cops later confirmed claims of other shootings were not true."

so here's the thing, if this is true, then that means WHILE paddock was shooting, there was someone calling the cops phoning fake calls to all the hotels, but if this isn't true then there were attacks at almost 20 hotels down the strip. the problem is that paddock definitely did not act alone, but the police claim he did.

seems a lot of the people who knew him said he was fairly average, a lot were shocked, but some weren't surprised. his brother and other family commented that they had no idea why he did this. he didn't have a criminal record, even traffic stops.

"Eric Paddock said he knew of five guns his brother kept in his safe but was shocked that a rapid-fire weapon was used in Sunday’s shooting. He said Stephen Paddock didn’t hunt and barely shot his guns, once taking Eric’s children on a skeet-shooting trip paid for by the casinos."

> "We know nothing. If you told me an asteroid fell it would mean the same to me. There's absolutely no sense, no reason he did this," said his brother Eric Paddock. "He's just a guy who played video poker and took cruises and ate burritos at Taco Bell. There's no political affiliation that we know of. There's no religious affiliation that we know of."

> “We are completely dumbfounded,” said a younger brother, Eric Paddock, who broke into tears in front of his suburban Orlando, Fla., home. “We can’t understand what happened.”

https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-vegas-shooter-what-we-know-20171002-story.html

> "Before Monday, Paddock had been a nonentity to local police. “We didn’t have prior run-ins with him, we didn’t have any traffic stops, we didn’t have any arrests of any kind,” Mesquite Police Officer Quinn Averett said. “It’s a newer home, a newer subdivision, a nice clean home, nothing out of the ordinary.”

> “He was always normal,” said Donald Judy, a former next-door neighbor who said he was struggling to reconcile the friendly conversations about real estate and family with carnage carried out from a hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

> Paddock’s former brother-in-law, Scott Brunoehler, recalled the gunman in the 1970s and 1980s as a smart, fun-loving person who enjoyed entertaining on his boat at Castaic Lake and Buena Vista Lake in Kern County.
>
> “He seemed like a normal, good guy. I don’t remember anything bad back then at all,” said Brunoehler, whose sister, Sharon, married Paddock in 1977. "I'm still in shock."

> For nearly a decade, he owned an apartment complex in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite. Tenant Richard Gehring said Paddock improved the Texas property by checking applicants’ credit and quickly evicting those who didn’t pay.
>
> “Some of the rougher people left,” said Gehring, a roadway engineer.
>
As he watched television coverage Monday, Gehring said it seemed impossible that the gunman was his mild mannered landlord.
>
> “He was just a nice guy, and that was it,” Gehring said. “There’s nothing really that sets him out from anybody else.”
