"In a statement, Lockheed Martin, the defense giant, said that Paddock had worked for it for three years in the 1980s.
“Stephen Paddock worked for a predecessor company of Lockheed Martin from 1985 until 1988,” the company said in a statement. “We’re cooperating with authorities to answer questions they may have about Mr. Paddock and his time with the company.”
The Post will, imho, put out the version the deep state wants.
That may or may not always comport with reality.
With that weapons cache, someone had to know.
My gut tells me we're going to find out his purchases were part of Fast and Furious.
I'd start looking at unsolved sniper crimes.
Seems that it was so long ago (Lockheed Martin predecessor) that it may not be relevant.
Does anyone know if he was ever married or has children?
I thought his brother said he was just a regular Joe...
I think he has a couple siblings. I think only one has spoken.
And we haven't heard anything from the Asian lady.
An internal auditor with a penchant for high stakes gambling.
It’s always the quiet ones.
So did one of my buds...but he had it taken to his basement...with much difficulty. It was his gun safe.
I'd try the gun clubs in the area.
No way this guy was making tons of money at a casino, especially playing “video poker.”
Who keeps 3 years of text messages?
There’s a memo showing him working for them on a project in 1993, so that’s fishy.
His brother described the shooter as a “wealthy guy,” but where’s the work or investment history that supported his comfortable lifestyle? So far, we only know that he spent three years at Lockheed in the 80s, and owned an apartment complex near Dallas a few years later. Otherwise, Paddock’s work history is a blank slate.
Yet, at the time of his rampage, the shooter had homes in northern and southern Nevada, two aircraft, and gambled tens of thousands of dollars during visits to the casinos in Vegas.
His girlfriend had apparently been living off his dime for several years as well. Curiously, she’s out of the country when he started mowing people down from his perch on the 32nd floor.
Did he win the lottery? Have a rich uncle who left everything to him? We know Paddock’s father wasn’t the source of his wealth, since Dad was in and out of prison as a bank robber. So much of this case (so far) just doesn’t add up.
They made that Arizona shooter nut Loughner out to be a raving hardcore Rock-ribbed conservative activist when he wasn’t in the least political.
In Reverse they make this guy out to be utterly devoid of political interest.
to me that says hardcore liberal and sadly, the only place where you are going to get any kind of answer about that, any kind of rigorous research will probably be at 4chan, of all places.
Let me get this right:
the guy who is an auditor at one of the biggest military contractors on Earth, who makes sure the numbers are on the up-and-up, and as a natural matter of course develops all of the skills to cheat:
this guy was a hardcore high-stakes Gambler..?
gosh I wonder if there is any risk, there.
Hmmmm....
Ken Kesey is in a race with Rachel Carson on who’s book can kill the most people.
So far, Ken is a distance second, but the year is young.
PC will kill us all.
Who on earth knew that the shooter worked for them waaaaay back in the mid eighties? How would the records still be around? Who’d remember? Dang!
The saddest thing for me is that I have absolutely no trust in any LEF or FBI investigation of this.
Where did he get so much money? Where did it come from? Who meticulously planned such a complicated mass murder for maximum evil effect?
He hasn’t done a very good job of keeping to himself since the massacre. Stupid headline.
The NV Dem. House of Representative said he was winning at the tables so this wasn’t the reason. She also said housekeeping hadn’t seen anything amiss in his room.
