Who Was Stephen Paddock? The Mystery of a Nondescript ‘Numbers Guy’

LAS VEGAS — Stephen Paddock was a contradiction: a gambler who took no chances. A man with houses everywhere who did not really live in any of them. Someone who liked the high life of casinos but drove a nondescript minivan and dressed casually, even sloppily, in flip-flops and sweatsuits. He did not use Facebook or Twitter, but spent the past 25 years staring at screens of video poker machines.

Mr. Paddock, a former postal worker and tax auditor, lived an intensely private, unsocial life that exploded into public view on Sunday, when he killed 58 people at a country music festival and then shot himself. But even with nationwide scrutiny on his life, the mystery of who he was has only seemed to deepen.

My prior post is not to be interpreted an 9-11 trutherism. It was a terrorist attack from start to finish. However, the deep state figured out a way to make billions off it.

The Vegas massacre is different, if the 4chan poster was right, in that it was a manufactured slaughter. But it was done in such a way as to yield similar longterm benefits as the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

>> “All facts point to him being an aging loser facing the realities of his life vs the “dreams” he had in his youth.” <<

Bullshit !!!

None of the facts fit that progressive pabuum.

The mass of Antifa literature in his room and house dissolve that statist fallacy.

He was a project; an asset of the progressive revolution.

How do you know that Paddock flipped out?

I haven't seen this before - is it true?

We’ve all seen the video of the demolition charges taking down WTC buildings.

Trutherism? What are you?

There comes a time when reality has to prevail.

He didn’t “flip out,” he obeyed what he was programmed to do. He was a long time user of psychotropic drugs, just like every other American mass murderer.

I take it you don’t watch InfoWars?

Alex and his crew are the only reliable news source we have.

He also had a “13” tattooed on his neck, but it’s photoshopped out of most pictures. Why bother removing it from pictures?

Retarded.

The guy was either a real good gambler or he was cleaning a ton of cash.

He had money, he had his women, and he pretty much did whatever he wanted.

He was living the dream, not wishing his life away.

That’s why none of this makes sense.

Someones trying to control the narrative.

He never had the number "13" tattooed on his neck. That's the dumbest crap I've heard.

I don’t recal the name, but it was some so-called “antidepressant.”

Just scan through InfoWars on youtube and you’ll find it. They ripped his history open like a bag of beans.

In some of the photos initially posted he had a “13” tattoo on his neck.

Afterward they were scrubbed.

‘Though not a lot of information about Paddock’s psychological health has been released, the newspaper stated that “records from the Nevada Prescription Monitoring Program obtained Tuesday show Paddock was prescribed 50 10-milligram diazepam tablets by Henderson physician Dr. Steven Winkler on June 21.”’

In one single photo there is a shadow around his adam's apple.

Please, let the adults speak.

I heard that and looked at the photos. It was the way it was lit.

Not photoshopped in or off.

No, Alex is waaay in there, getting every relevent detail on every event, and presenting them quickly.

He’s the chief non-fake news source.
