Full title.....................Who is Stephen Paddock? Multimillionaire Las Vegas shooter, 64, was a hunting enthusiast, licensed pilot and gambler with no criminal record who owned a $400,000 home in Nevada retirement community........................The man suspected of opening fire at concertgoers attending a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night was a local resident with no prior criminal convictions in the state of Nevada.

Stephen Paddock, 64, lived just 90 minutes outside Las Vegas in the city of Mesquite, where he purchased a home in a retirement community for just over $369,000 in 2015 according to public records.

He lived there with his 62-year-old girlfriend Marilou Danley, the same woman police announced they were seeking to question on Sunday night as they began their investigation into the horrific terror attack.

Paddock had both hunting and fishing licenses according to public records, as well as his pilot's license, but no criminal record in the state of Nevada.

The retired accountant had worked as an internal auditor at Lockheed Martin for three years in the late 1980s, and was a manager and investor in apartment complexes located in Mesquite, Texas and California which made him millions according to his brother.

"The whole thing is horrible and odd."

How do we know it was Paddock who did the shooting? DID ANYONE SEE HIM DOING THE SHOOTING? How do we know he wasn't held hostage in his own room and someone ELSE did the shooting?

If this doesn't smack of the Dallas incident and Islamofascist terrorist attack, I don't know what does. HUGE FALSE FLAG HERE and more a mystery than the Kennedy assassination!

It’s definitely got me scratching my head. The guy is dead, news says he was already dead when cops entered the room.

Guy wasn’t “caught” in act, just found dead in room.

Cameras set up to see when cops arrived? Why?

Who says there wasn’t a second person in the room doing the shooting, who used the cameras to be sure he would have time to set scene as suicide and make his exit...

I've seen reports of both. Gunfire exchange with LEO and he was found dead in the room. Which was it? Girlfriend was person of interest and then out of the country? WTF?

Starting to seem like the movie 'Shooter'.

"I don't think it's unusual for someone to go hunting or fishing all over the place. I just thought it was strange for someone from Nevada to have Alaska licenses (and no others) even though his brother claims he doesn't hunt or fish at all."

Some people are wannabes or dreamers who buy stuff and then never use it, especially when they start to get older. I've never hunted or owned a gun in my life, but if the police raided my house they might find a few old gun or hunting magazines and call me a "gun enthusiast." I've never flown a plane but they would find a few copies of "Air & Space" and call me an aviation enthusiast.

"Body language expert says brother reacts to “political” as motive. We shall see."

All the circumstantial evidence points in that direction. The left is seething with anger over the election loss. This Paddock douchebag is just another Hodgekinson Scalise shooter type with a slightly higher IQ and more money.

Cops blew the room door, and they speculated that’s when he committed suicide.

I think if he was a Trump suporter, it would be all over the news.


For sure. The media is so predictable and so savagely anti-Trump that they couldn’t possibly hold themselves back on this. A simple negative proof means he probably doesn’t have ANYTHING they can tie to Trump or else it would already be out there. That’s the first thing they would’ve gone after as soon as they heard “mass shooting.”

The Islamic angle to it, though, if there’s any truth to that, they would absolutely try to squash.

I think there is a good chance something about the relationship of this woman to him has to do with triggering this mass murder.

I have seen it reported that she may be originally Indonesian but elsewhere that she was a Filipina. If she is in the Philippines now, that might suggest the latter.

Did she marry her way into the Australian passport? If the marriage to Danley did not produce a green card, was she hoping to get one through a marriage to Paddock? Does she have a habit of bouncing from white sugar daddy to white sugar daddy? Or maybe she decided that being with Paddock was not worth it and broke it off? Or Paddock balked without a prenup?

Authorities said the room was set up so that shots could be fired from either window to hit the crowd.

That certainly seems like one LARGE hotel room.

The extreme violence is suggestive of drug involvement, and in the one confirmed picture of him he looks drunk and/or stoned. That might be a contributing factor, but there was a lot of planning involved. It wasn't just a momentary burst of rage, as with the Charlottesville car incident.

But there is still a huge missing piece - motive.

Putting my tin foil hat on!

So who was the woman warning participants at the music festival? There was accomplists or persons that knew. If not ISIS, BLM, Antifa, or shadow government?

This takes the heat off of the NFL doesn’t it?

I would guess that so he could make sure he wasn't taken alive.

He got depressed. Was stupid enough to seek “professional help”. Started taking psych meds. You know. The ones labelled “homocidal ideation” and “suicidal ideation”. Then mass murder and suicide. I wonder how many more times we have to experience this just so that the shrinks can have their big budgets.

“How did he get all that up there without anybody noticing anything suspicious?”

Most rifles can be taken down until the longest part is easily concealable in a suitcase. Space trips in/out over a couple of days, nobody will notice unless they’re actively watching that specific individual.

My question is whether someone crazy enough to want to murder hundreds of people can maintain the self-control to pull off something so intricate and time-consuming.

I want to know what the tox screen says. And I want to know what his political affiliations/inclinations were.

How about this scenario: dude was a cutout, maybe on drugs given or forced by his girlfriend, but had a background and temperment for suggestibility. Girlfriend, “maybe” linked to a terror cell, wanted to get it done, cared nothing for him. That’s why it is so difficult for civilians to imagine.

Enough theories, right? Waiting for facts like we will for several weeks. Terrible day.
