The Las Vegas gunman was allergic to certain chemicals and medications — and often wore gardening gloves around so he wouldn’t get rashes, his brother said Wednesday.

It also emerged Wednesday that Paddock was prescribed 50 10-milligram tablets of diazepam — commonly called Valium — on June 21 by Dr. Steven Winkler, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

If he was old enough to have an erection, he could have sired a few kids, and taken up painting, too, like Anthony Quinn did. “Nope-nope-nope-nope. Kill a few dozen of those gun-toting, country-music-loving Trump supporters. That’s the thing. A voice told me to. Was it my cat?”

I mean young enough to have an erection.

Kill a few dozen of those gun-toting, country-music-loving Trump supporters.

Not even that. A neighbor who was a former Marine, and a Trump supporter, said he thought Paddock was simpatico. I think he's basically a high-achiever who went nuts, for some reason the cops may or may not discover, given how closely he held his cards to his chest, to the point that the people closest to him did not see this coming. I tend to think this was a primal scream more than an ideological act, especially given how he had similar rooms booked for all kinds of different events in different cities.

Just guessing they did not “survive”.

,The first Google result says:

Life Expectancy From the 1800s to Today. From the 1500s onward, till around the year 1800, life expectancy throughout Europe hovered between 30 and 40 years of age. Since the early 1800s,

started getting buyer's remorse, i.e he should have done something else with his life. So mentally, he cracked wide open, i.e. he became a high-functioning head case. Unfortunately, the benzos and booze turned his funk into a long slide into a murderous cuckooland.

Your theory is as good as any other that's been offered. Obviously, the guy was nuts, to do what he did. That holds for any mass murderer, no matter what their stated motivation is/was. Sane people simply do not do this.

As to what road he traveled to insanity, we may never know the full details.

[Eleutheria5]

I’ll take those odds. We’ll see.

If someone else did the shooting, Paddock wearing gloves would be advantageous to the official story. Built in excuse as to why there are no prints on the gun(s) used from the room. Someone else could have potentially wiped the surface(s) of the weapons free of prints.

Parafin poured on the gloves by detectives would trap gun powder residue.

With a public trial over a controversial sleeping pill less than two weeks away, the pill's manufacturer settled a $21 million lawsuit out of court on the condition that reams of documents about the pill be sealed.

Might be a bit inconvenient for Upjohn if they had to put a drug label warning side-effect on their sleeping pills...

"Warning - may cause suppression of rational brain function leading to homicidal outburst."

One of his prostitutes describe him as a 9/11 Truther.

In this day & age, I feel many forget just how lethal pneumonia is. You guys may remember I had it about 10 years ago; I was FUBAR for a solid 7-10 days.

Bronchitis is another nasty bastard of an illness. Ditto asthma.

None of these ailments should ever be taken lightly.

To be fair, it's pretty rare and likely limited to those who ignore warning labels about dosage. Unfortunately, plenty of people ignore those warnings and consume them like they're Tic Tacs on the reasoning that if a few tablets a day yield good results, then several times that dosage should yield several times the benefits.

Valium would calm him for his murders,
or help him cope with President Trump winning the election ...

[raiderboy]

Yes That too. !! What a joke cover up the motive.

Wonder how Americans in the 1800s survived without chemical medications that are killing us today.

They didn't.

Eczema?

A lot of women died from complications of pregnancy/childbirth.

I would have checked out at 2 with scarlet fever.

“... women died from complications of childbirth ...”
-
Absolutely true.
One of my grandmothers did (1920).
One of my great grandfathers outlived 4 wives.
