4 days after Las Vegas massacre and still no motive? What are your thought?

Nearly 4 days later after the suspect committed one of the biggest mass murders in U.S. history and still no motive? That seems a bit odd considering everthing.

Even if the suspect was a mentally ill, he would still need some type of motive, whether real or perceived.

They've interviewed his girlfriend, his brother, associates, acquaintances, relatives, friends and nothing? No social media? No on-line presence? No smart phone information? Nothing political going on? And they've searched everything he owns including the vehicles. And you know they've gone through his medical records thoroughly.

We're told he was a gambler who spent lots of cash gambling and he had several homes and was a former government employee among other things. And I'm sure they've looked at every financial transaction he's ever had by now.

How could someone so angry, and or mentally ill, never have hinted or telegraphed their intentions or position to someone along the way? This took lots of planning, at least weeks, if not months or possibly more. Personally I think the girlfriend would have to know what going on with this guy, at least to some extent.

What are your thoughts regarding a motive?

I got it all at this link, and posted some of it at the FR link, quite long with a lot of graphics, and MEMRI is a reputable org:

I heard the lawsuit was against the Cosmopolitan, not Mandelay Bay.

Is that the rifle that shot his windows out so hotel security wouldn’t notice him doing it?

IMHO LE is finding other people. That’s why they are saying nothing about motive, other than the broad hint to those who pay attention that “he may have been radicalized and we are looking into how”.

Seems like about the same level of information about Paddock’s motive and the history of Obama!

I hadn’t heard he filmed himself. Do we know that for sure?

Did you notice the Sheriff's little Mona Lisa smile right around 26+ minutes, where he was being asked the question that went something like, "It is being said that Paddock bought 33 weapons beginning in October 2016. Are you looking into whether something may have happened in October that caused him to snap?"

I'm thinking it's more like mid-October (Wikileaks) through November 4, 2016 that caused him to snap.

I found the graphic. It is not mine but I found it somewhat interesting. I should have given that caveat.

“How did they get through the glass?”

Hammer.
There’s a picture of it on the floor.
You can also shoot thru glass, tends to break it quick.

You’ve seen the pictures of the two broken windows, right?

It’s widely reported now that he had several GoPro (or other) cameras set around.

You should get that information to the Las Vegas Sheriff’s Department.

Amid the dozens of guns he bought, no surprise they haven’t found all of them yet. Wouldn’t surprise me if he stashed one for getaway purposes if things went pear-shaped.

Savage had a number of folks call in who were at the Country Music festival in Vegas & being shot at. All agreed - there was more than one shooter. Pretty convincing.


Sorry to debunk this, but if there was more than one shooter, it would be evident from sound recordings. Some of the shots would have coincided in time. There should be irrefutable evidence from audio.

said, "Who gives a crap about his motive"

I do. If he was simply a leftest with no reckless way of life that would mean we just moved the bar over slightly. Any hard leftist could be a problem.

Guess you’re right...

“Did Las Vegas gunman have help? Sheriff believes amount of planning, firearms and explosives point to an accomplice as police reveal shooter ‘had an escape plan’ but they still can’t establish a motive”
