Eyewitness to History
The Las Vegas Shooting and the Bundy Ranch Trial

On October 1, 2017, the 1October Las Vegas Strip became the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. I was there in the aftermath to report my findings. My year and a half journey traveling across the West in 2017/18 brought me to Las Vegas just days before the horrific mass shooting that ultimately left 58 people dead. While I was in the city to visit family and report on the federal Bundy Ranch et al. trial, the tragedy on the Las Vegas Strip became an immediate focal point. A few days after the event, I visited the scene to conduct my own findings. I shared my initial analysis, questioning the official narrative about the shooter, Stephen Paddock, and exploring the potential timing and context of the Bundy Ranch trial in a video titled "Stephen Paddock, here's what we've been told + What about the Bundy Ranch?

A few weeks before Judge Gloria Navarro called a mistrial on Wednesday, December 20th, 2017, I spoke with Denise Rosch from News3LV about the slanted nature of a fair trial going forward. The news coverage of the trial's start can be found here: https://news3lv.com/news/local/trial-begins-for-cliven-bundy-sons-in-2014-bunkerville-standoff-with-blm After Judge Navarro officially declared the mistrial, I conducted an interview with Jake Morphonios outside Miller's Ale House in Henderson, Nevada. We discussed peculiar indications we observed regarding the mass murder on the Las Vegas Strip. https://youtu.be/esZ_1HuPI2E?si=JYBpmFFaeAFLQIOo Despite the complex legal and investigative matters, the human tragedy of the 1 October event was profound. The gut-wrenching scene outside UMC hospital—as the bodies of victims were put into funeral vans while tearful family members arrived—was captured in a post retweeted from Antonio Castelan (@AntonioNews3LV). https://t.co/qLhvHfyKy2 Two stories collided in Las Vegas that fall: a tragedy on the Strip and a trial that was shaking the foundations of how folks see their government. I was there for both, and I'm still telling what I saw. #LasVegas #BundyRanch #1October Read more of my work and other articles here. — Vincent Easley II https://reallibertymedia.com/author/https-reallibertymedia-com-author-vine
