Why has No One noticed the Las Vegas shooter's broken leg?

Does the Las Vegas shooter have a broken left leg?

When I look and compare where the right knee is in the photo, to where the left knee should be, the bend in the left leg is lower. Perhaps it's an optical illusion but the bend appears to begin under the trigger of the rifle. This would mean that there is a break in the leg below the knee.
Also, (warning very gruesome photo), If he fell backward, landing on his head,
[SNIP]
why is his neck flexed and head tilted backward?
I would expect this position if I were to intubate a patient.
Also, where did his number "13" tattoo on his neck go?
The photo of the bent leg below his knee I find very strange.

I just thought of this. How did his leg get UNDER the rifle?

He never had a tattoo on his neck in the first place, its just shadow and old age chicken neck wrinkles pareidolia

The gun & bipod were placed afterwards. Why would there be a gun on a bipod so far away from the window where he was allegedly shooting from? Seems a bit unlikely but looks good for setting the scene, they got everything in....a few shell cases, dead body, gun on bipod with bumfire stock, blood, visible note and pen on side table.....good to go

Umm, yeah.

What are your thoughts about his leg?

It's impossible to see his knees underneath rumpled pant legs.
He could have one leg shorter than the other from a previous injury that healed wrong.

He sure does have a broken leg.
Aside from being dead, I've been in the exact position with a broken leg.

a reply to: Violater1

Good observation! However, looking closely, it looks like his right foot is propped up by the table.

what i find more strange in this pic is the look of his arm. is it detached from his shoulder ??

Don't forget the obvious symbolism of the rifle under his butt and gloved hand laying atop of the butt of the gun.

Nothing wrong with his left leg if you look at the picture closely magnified. Its just his black pants melding with the planted black gun make his leg look slightly bent from the shin bone down.

Nothing wrong with his arm either, again just gloves on top of a black gun

Anyone any opinions or insights on the fact that in front of the alleged shooting vantage point ie broken window, there is a damn sofa? You telling me he was kneeling on a squishy sofa with a gun on a bipod attempting to fire out and downwards through that window? There is also a suitcase on the floor in the way. Hardly a clear area for shooting and running from room to room is it?

As for the one leg shorter than the other. It's the parallax in the camera lens that makes it appear that way.

Never noticed the leg before, good eyes. Is that another rifle under his left hand and thigh?
Still feel that there is a lot more going on that we are not being told, judging how to me this seemed to have disappeared from the news.

been asking myself that since I saw it. The only way that isn't a staged photo is if he shot himself laid flat on the ground or at least sat up.

a reply to: Violater1

Nothing in that photo shows anything abnormal about his leg.

Nothing is broken about his leg in that photo at all. It looks totally normal.

Is that the only photo??? Is this the pic you're talking about???

It looks fine.

The couch? Oh you mean in one of the other pics. Maybe he liked softness on his old achy bones and the floor was too hard. I noticed on the far side of the couch and that oval vestibule there are a bunch of black and white pillows strewn on the floor by the window. Didn't notice the blood on the couch/sofa. Will have to look again.

Edit add: though honestly, the window by the couch does not seem to be broken. It looks like someone leaned something up by the pillar window to keep that curtain from billowing inward. Such a weird looking object too! Wish it wasn't so much in the shadows of the pillar and curtain. Right behind where that nice little hammer is laying on the floor. How convenient.

The loose clothing is what makes it appear that way I believe.

a reply to: Violater1

As a medical professional is difficult to determine but I'd possible he suffered a fractured Left Tibia

Interesting how his head is laid back so far, much like the intubation diagram you have there.

His eyes were also open.

In the few cases, I've seen of someone committing suicide by gun, as he reportedly did. The eyes have always been closed.

It's almost as if he was shot in the mouth by someone else, and not knowing the exact second the trigger would be pulled, thus the eyes open.

The arrangement of things seems odd, and off very much so.

It couldn't have, that rifle was placed over his already deceased body. This means that the crime scene was altered before those photos were taken, or the room was staged prior to the breach.

Also -- his leg isn't broken, it's not bent -- his pants are just creating that illusion, his foot is bent at the ankle joint, the pants being baggy enough but tight on the inside of his leg is the explanation for the mild appearance of a possible broken leg.

Also, I don't know if we know he had a 13 tattood, surely you can see a 13 on his neck in that one other photo, but is it a tattoo? Do we know it was a permanent marking? Do we have more evidence of this tattoo outside of that one image that kind of shows a very blurry 13? Genuinely curious.

You'd be surprised at what happens to dead bodies when all muscular tension is gone. People don't realise that just the act of maintaining an upright position when standing is a continuous triumph of muscular co-ordination. When brain death takes away the nerve-signals that the muscles rely on, a body's joints bend can in the most unexpected ways.

[SNIP] is a photograph of someone killed in the Westminster Bridge attack in London, earlier this year. In a less horrible context, "comical" wouldn't be a bad description of how weird his legs look.
