His brother Eric tells DailyMail.com his family have no idea what happened to make him shoot

'He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something,' he said

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Eric Paddock said that 'something happened' to make his brother Stephen kill at least 50 people and injure 200.

Eric said that there was 'absolutely no indication he could do something like this' and said that Stephen had no political or religious affiliation.

This was preplanned. He didn’t “just snap.”

Very interesting that there is absolutely no mention in any report about the man’s politics.

that means he was a leftist and I think he could have been inspired by antifa.

Snip from end of the article:

“’He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something, he was just a guy.

‘He has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, as far as we know. This wasn’t a terror attack’.”

Agreed .. logistically too much for spur of the moment.

I’m still waiting to hear from his brother when he pledged his undying devotion to Bernie Sanders and converted to islam. Oh, and joined Antifa. Because of course we know its at least one of those things, and likely all three.

Seems like the perfect line to give the gun grabbers.

See, he wasn’t a Democrat or Republican or a religious freak...just a guy with mental illness so we need you to turn in your guns because we can’t trust you!!

That’s how I’d bet.

Whenever something like this happens those who know the individual almost always claim they were apolitical. Usually they are a leftard.

He was inspired by ISIS, probably a loser his whole life and wanted to go down in history by doing something so atrocious.

And more than likely it sprouted back in may when ISIS made lone wolf threats. And this feable minded fool fell under it.

This really is weird. He’s kind of old for Islam, and kind of Vegas for Bernie, and kind of blue-collar for Antifa, from what I can tell.

Funny how the family makes him sound as amorphous as possible.

I’m curious if he was an ex felon, that 13 on his neck looks like a prison tat.
