He was an undercover gummint agent plying around for Muzzies and scumbags (but I repeat myself) interested in making undocumented purchases of military-style arms.
His only previous working history was for big US gummint contractors who can’t say no to providing exactly the type of employment cover operatives like Paddock needed.
He had a long history of using AirBnB’s —that’s where he was showing his arms wares to the scumbags getting prepped for fed stinging.
When he really did need to fly, he flew himself. Why? Same as above; getting on a commercial airplane with lots of guns raised red-flags and now it’s almost impossible, certainly impossible for an undercover lacking a badge.
It’s amazing to me that ANYONE buys the, “he got depressed and so went and mowed down a yuge concert crowd”.
It’s ridiculous.
Do you think he was ended by the people when they figured out the arms deals were stings? Or an inside job from “our guys”?
And do you think he did any shooting at the concert goers?
I know it wasn’t “depressed bored angry rich gambler”. The story has to make sense. 600 people hit? No depression is quite that bad.
Arms were dealt. But hard to understand how it ended up like it did.
