You are right. (I looked at the picture again, magnified.) He has very short head hair and facial hair in the picture. I take back what I said about him being fully shaved.

I guess my old eyes aren't what they used to be.

Depression and anger can reach a point where nihilism takes over. Words just seem meaningless. Not everyone who is destructive subscribes to modern talk therapy mania.

When the 9/11 attackers knew they were going to die killing Infidels, didn't they drink, use prostitutes and carouse? After all, die killing non-Muslims and you gain immediate paradise and a bunch'a virgins!

Yes, and prior to this, they led lives indicative of being devout Muslims. There is no evidence whatsoever that Paddock ever practiced Islam.

Regardless of why this guy did it he apparently didn’t leave any kind of message or trail explaining his mindset.

Perhaps it was part of the plan, to get people like US arguing about his motivation to create more dissension in the ranks. Whatever it was, it was evil, and until proven otherwise, I will consider it Jihad.

Who other than the certifiably insane or a Muslim is willing to die in order to kill others?

Almost every mass shooting in America ended with the death, often suicide, of the shooter. Very few of them were motivated by religion.

Valet records & other proof shows Las Vegas shooter checked into the hotel on the 25th. Why does FBI say it was 28th?

” conspiracy theorists “ All speculation starts out as a “theory”. Every act that involves more than one person, is a “conspiracy”. Even if only one other person “helps” or “assists” the actual perp.

ALL investigators are “conspiracy theorists”. It’s a GOOD thing.

Considering ALL possibilities is the only SMART thing to do.

Fast and Furious, Benghazi, hard to believe conspiracies?

“Truth is stranger than fiction” and “you don’t know what you don’t know”, are ideas that are worth keeping in mind, instead of just dismissing things out of hand.

Possibly part of taqiyya, because openly embracing Islam would have put him on somebody's radar and affected his plans.

THe mormon missionaries may be inconvenient a few miles from Hill Cumorah and the Sacred Grove, but they aren’t doing it down the barrel of a gun.

Stephen G. Paddock, 66, of Boca Raton is a registered Democrat.

Stephen Paddock's Voter Registration

Stephen C. Paddock, 64, mass murderer, is not registered to vote.

That is Stephen G. Paddock, middle initial ‘G’ for Gray, and is a different age from shooter.

There are bloggers knowingly misleading people.

So the complete and total absence of evidence of a conversion to Islam means it was Islam.

Got it.

I am going with Islamic motivated terrorism.

What other motivation offers rewards significant enough to go to the trouble of doing this?

I’ve been saying for awhile that the Father of Internet Jihad, Anwar Al Awlaki has been given an increasingly effective platform by Google’s You Tube.

This makes the fact that he doesn’t fit the profile not a problem.

In fact AAA’s Youtube videos have had a large impact on almost every terror attack you can name.

In the meantime, people critical of Islam have been getting their YouTube accounts pulled, as many FREEPERS know.

The REAL answer to this violence is NOT gun control but for the West to pass child pornography like laws covering AAA videos.

Here is an org that agrees with me and has a lot of info on this topic:

Sign up for their email alerts to see how many attacks there are every day.

Paddock’s hotel suite was a mosque, fully armed.
