During the Las Vegas shooting, influencer Dan Bilzerian asked a police man for a gun and offers his credentials, in order to "help".

    "Quick, officer, give me your gun so I can shoot indiscriminately at a hotel filled with people!"

    What credentials is he referring to? His history as a trust fund nepo baby?

    Apparently he did make it through hell week in B.U.D.S. But was rejected for other reasons (supposedly he wasn’t liked or had shitty character).

    That being said, I don’t think I’d make it through hell week. That being said, if I was a nepo baby with all the time in the world to do what I want, I could make it through hell week too and think I’m a friendlier and more likeable person than the one he shows the world.

    There is other video of him (allegedly) stealing a police badge from a cruiser around this time

    If i remember Dan tried to become a navy seal attempting buds training a few times. He was dropped for injury and another for his "personality". Don shipley is a retired navy seal with a youtube channel has made a video or 2 talking about it. He usually is the go 2 for outting phony seal claims, but says dan legit attempted a few times.

    I believe dan is a scammer/liar but probably not a coward. Most people will run or hide in a life threatening situation but some will go into it and defend themselves and others.

    Sometimes a jackass running towards a fight is going to do more damage than a coward running away.

    Not a coward? Bro he has a camera guy with him. It’s performative nonsense that people like you see and believe it’s truly him being a badass.

    Basically he ran out of money so instead of surrounding himself with prostitutes he now pretends to be a religious traditional family man who hates the jews.

    It’s funny how people at the lowest levels of discourse blame Jews for everything wrong in the world.

    Truly the oldest grift. Weak medieval kings did it, weak modern wannabe kings do it too. Cycle.

    Wait, he ran out of that money he and his dad stole or whatever? Please say yes, after all that showing off, there's nothing I'd love to see more in these trying times than this guy ending up with nothing, aka the Scott Storch plan.

    open fire into the hotel at that distance?

    I think his strategy was to get video of himself looking like a hero

    That camera man was following him for a reason, the only reason was that he just wanted a piece of the action in front of the camera, i'm sure this guy didn't really think ahead then just getting a gun and maybe fire a few rounds to make it look like he did something.

    No way he was "helping" anything when the shooters are in helicopters and on the ground in multiple areas
