why do these nuts nearly always kill someone innocent when they are mad at someone?

The fact that the Lying Leftist media is silent about this guy’s background is itself suspicious about this shooter’s actual background.

The bodies aren't even cold yet.

What is there to report? As of now, Paddock has no social media accounts, no arrest record, a foreign girlfriend who's out of the country, and a distant brother who barely speaks to him.

Not much to build a profile with.

Here’s a thought... Maybe this dude was staying at the hotel and instead of actually being the shooter, he was just a patsy left behind to confuse the authorities.

The California brother seems to know a lot about a brother he hasn’t talked to in over 10 years.

If he is a pilot.. he would have had almost no criminal record, since pilots have to reveal even a traffic ticket each time they renew their medical.

This was planned well in advance. He didn’t “snap.”

There are only two ways to regularly earn money gambling in a casino:

1. Poker, where you’re playing against other patrons and not against the casino

2. Cheating

again, big difference between being a gun owner (most likely for personal protection) and being a big game hunter in Alaska.

His brother hadn’t spoken to him in about ten years! He certainly doesn’t know what he was up to in that case.

Gambling debts would make sense as to what could cause someone to snap.

Or he'd already snapped and wanted to gamble away all his money before killing a bunch of innocent people and his own worthless self.

>hunted in Alaska..
>relatively rich then.
>and a hunter would not tend to be a leftist... this is looking for and more like someone who just “snapped”.

Someone listed his living arrangements which included 15 years living in California City, the armpit of the Mojave desert. Rich people don’t live there. However, he owned 2 planes and California City has long been rumored as prime air drug smuggling location.

Having lived in the area I met one reformed drug smuggling pilot was living in the city because he used to fly drugs into it from Mexico. He’d converted to Christianity and gotten married and left that life behind after a stint in jail.

It wouldn’t shock me if this has a cartel connection of some type.

Apparently Stephen Paddock was wealthy.

Gunman Stephen Paddock was an accountant who played $100-a-hand-poker
