Mesquite NV is just northeast of Las Vegas.

Why would he be staying in a ritzy hotel?.................

does ISIS claim responsibility for all recent mass shootings?

From what I can tell, no. That's what authenticates these claims a bit for me.

Also, what has been the consistent pattern for almost every mindless mass killing for the past 15 to 20 years? That these mindless mass killings were caused by Muslims carrying out their Islamic jihad.

There should probably be a presumption that until proven otherwise, this kind of was from an Islamic jihadist.

This guy didn’t just “snap”. If he walked into the crowd, guns blazing, yeah. This was planned out well in advance. He took the time to build shooting platforms. The media wants him to be some “white loser who just snapped”

Now Fox is reporting the weapons were AR’s. I would have sworn from the sound they were AK’s. It might have been the echo from the buildings distorting the sound. I’ll be curious to see the actual weapons.

Might be more of a "Money don't matter because I won't need it pretty soon" thing rather than a causative - he obviously planned and prepared for quite awhile.

My wife worked with a lady who died of colon cancer. Her husband had quit his job years ago to take care of his mother, who he moved in with them. She used to tell the wife how good she was doing at the casinos and when she was gone, the widower was "devastated to learn all their savings was gone"....Odds are she went hog wild near the end because she wouldn't need the money anymore and thought her "husband" didn't deserve it after leaving her to support him and his mother rather than working to help out and get professional care for his mother - he was an engineer who had been making over $150K a year before he quit and his mother was with them for 15 years before she died.

I lived in WI for a long time. That place goes crazy during hunting season. and yes, there are a BUNCH of liberals in WI. so that theory goes out the window.

[Blue House Sue]

There are a bunch of oddities of this Terrorist Attack, not the least of which is that his daddy was a bank robber. But there is also the alleged gambling, some of that gambling may have been on horses, Arabian horses and his name is Paddock. A paddock is the place Arabian race horses are kept before a race. Could Paddock be a code name provided to he and his family by an Islamic terrorist organization?

[Yaelle]

How convenient that the Muslim girlfriend had NO IDEA and happened to be out of the country at the time, no?

If he was some right wing Trump supporter, he would never have chosen the harvest festival as his target. Sorry. The place was filled with conservative country fans. Many police and fire and other respected members of society we’re off duty in that audience enjoying the music.

And if there have been recent shootings that ISIS hasn’t jumped up and claimed, it says SOMETHING. Will the globalists let us see the proof, if so? I don’t know. He doesn’t seem like a patsy but maybe it was a honey trap?

Stephen Paddock's brother Bruce Paddock, who lives in California, said his family grew up in Sun Valley, California. Their father, Benjamin Paddock, was on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list for robbing banks.

Psychopaths and why didn't they ask the brother about any 'political' involvement? Brother was very smooth considering what just happened...

The suspected gunman behind the Las Vegas massacre made several large gambling transactions in recent weeks, according to law enforcement officials.

The transactions in Las Vegas by Stephen Paddock were in the tens of thousands, the officials said.

It was not immediately clear if those transactions were losses or wins.

He bet the farm on McGregor?

Could Paddock be a code name provided to he and his family by an Islamic terrorist organization? This is a joke right? I see you're new here..............

[Kid Shelleen]

Gambling is a great way to launder money.

[jean michael]

That’s a good point. I hear a lot about people I don’t talk to from other relatives. 10 years sounds like a long time for brothers. But this is an unusual family, with a dad on the 10 most-wanted list.

[MeganC]

There is no handbook on the proper response to when you find our that your brother just slaughtered fifty-eight people.

[Blue House Sue]

It appears to be an extraordinary coincidence.

Paddock is not an unusual word but is an unusual name and the definition of the word is very specific.

It implies a race horse that is ready to race, to go fast.

If you recall, the communication between the 9/11 Terrorists , their primary code word was “Porsche 911.”

[Lady Heron]

He had multiple houses and 2 planes also.....where did this guy get the money on an accounting salary???

[az_gila]

I would think someone would track down the tail number of his plane, and find out where it’s been the last few years ...

---

The FAA registry has his pilot's license listed, but no planes in his name.

Mandalay Bay would have been sold out for weeks or months for the 20,000+ concert across the street.

All of Vegas was heavily booked this past weekend, but not because of the concert. They have concerts in that area almost every week. We attended the I Heart Radio Concert just by Manaday just last week. There were several VERY large conference going on in that past week that has had most of the hotels heavily booked for months.

[Drew68]

they have to mention that he’s a hunter....

They're going to mention everything they know about this guy which right now isn't much.
