Vegas madman regularly wore gloves because of bizarre allergies
NY Post ^ | 10/4/2017 | Danika Fears

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.

(snip)

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.

I wonder if there was supposed to be another shooter and he got double crossed and left as the patsy. Perhaps someone else was suppose to blow the car and create a diversion so he could escape and they never did. Has anyone ever said whether he does or doesn’t have a cell phone?

Exactly.

Need to see footage of him playing video poker wearing gloves.

The death photo has him wearing a black glove on the one hand we see (the Daily Mail photo where we see the side of his body).

They’d have no problem saying he was white supremicist, but the killing of country western fans threw that out. They are lying and hiding things. He’s dead. About damn time we see all the video of his movements from checking in on. We can then watch him bring those guns in.

Average lifespan in the early to mid 1800s was 37.

Yup. I would have checked out about that time with a burst appendix.

I’m not trying to be gross, but I would think a Las Vegas hotel room is a soup of alergents and bodily fluids from all over the world. Not a place an obsessive compulsive germ freak would frequent for days or months.

Are they crafting the image of a Howard Hughes type of elder recluse?

I would have died as a kid when I got pneumonia, if not before from asthma.

Might be better for the gene pool if fewer people lived, like back in the day, but I’m not volunteering to take a powder. ;p

#6. They often died.

Our medical care may cost a lot but it is the best. I’m living proof of that. Cardiac arrest, two different comas, pneumonia, brain seizures - DEADPOOL candidate; Woke up 6 days later almost as fit as a fiddle.

My heart took a licking (stopped) but has kept on ticking. John Cameron Swayze for you old guys.

Who was the guy who jumped off the stairs of a hijacked boeing 727 with all the ransome money?

I use heeltastic on my heels that crack pretty bad.
When working I bought some for a fellow who’s fingers were cracked and split, he couldn’t believe how it cleared up, he said almost overnight.
This is what it looks like, lasts a long time also.

I usually pay about ten bucks for it.
Also if you have itches, I used to get a RX called Luxiq Foam. but since Obamacare came in the price has gone out of control, 258.00 for 6 oz., copay was 50.00, now copay 100.00 and then I just got letter from insurance, not even going to even cover deducible anymore.
I tried Blue Star to stop itch, can get it at Walmart, jar is 6 bucks, works, help me relax at night.

Might be a sign of a cleanliness OCD. I’ve known people like that, gloves and all.

There’s much discussion and debate online about a connection between OCD and serial killers. Since killing is an obsession or compulsion with them, it’s not hard to jump to conclusions. Of course, most people with OCD aren’t murders, but it’s something to consider.

When I worked the kosher deli at Winn Dixie in South Florida, we had one of these guys as a regular customer. He was utterly harmless, except it took a couple of hours to serve him, and nobody had the patience to do it except me. I could see him becoming a serial killer under the wrong conditions, but right then, he was just a soft-spoken, gentle, glove-wearing nut case.

Could be that Paddock was similar, but also with a pathological hatred of country/western music. Maybe he was molested by a baby-sitter who played Hee Haw on TV real loud to drown out his screams.

There haven’t been any reports that this is a life long condition for him. A relative had had cancer treatments and became allergic to substances they never had a problem with in the past. He was at the age where multiple types cancers are a possibility . If he had medical problems, Hippa rules would probably slow any release of that info..

I think it's a case of belated mid-life crisis, aggravated by benzos and alcohol. You know how they say that near the end of your life, when you're taking stock, nobody ever regrets not working hard enough? There's that classic John Hughes quote from his classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

My theory is that this guy was a workaholic who busted his ass every day and never looked around. A couple of years ago, he took stock of his life, did not like what he saw (perhaps no wife, no children, etc, just stacks of money his siblings and great nieces and nephews will inherit) and 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.
