This was carefully planned and executed over at least a period of weeks. Just the opposite of a spur of the moment thing. The idea that he was in pain from a brain tumor doesn’t hold up, he was very active in doing things during these weeks. There will be some kind of manifesto or testament as to what he intended to accomplish.
I saw the same interview with Col Tony Schaefer that Sarah Barracuda saw - the authorities are pursuing a political motive, but it has not been leaked, only the gun photos have been leaked.
It may have been planned back as far as Election Day - Catherine Herridge reported that he purchased 33 firearms since October 2016.
I want to know who his business associates were - the cartels? Cartel elements infiltrated by radical Islamists?
“And I’m sure they’ve looked at every financial transaction he’s ever had by now. “
May I suggest that you might want to cut back on watching TeeVee - when all disease is cured, crimes solved and the world saved in under an hour.....
With so many dead people - Lawyer are circling like a pack of buzzards - (as is the ‘news’ media) and the bureaucrats want to **make certain** their collective asses are covered.
Having lived in Las Vegas from a number of years, I can assure you cops will be both well thought out and complete in their investigation. If nothing else - because this is bad for the tourism business.
The truth is politically inconvenient to the state. Probably to the deep state, especially.
My thoughts is a man who went wacko in his old age. I’ve known several who started showing signs of mental aberrations as they got older. Most committed suicide. One even hanged himself in the same barn his dad hanged himself. Same rope.
The taking of so many guns he would never get to use, into the room, and meticulous planing is to me the give away, much like the Aurora Colorado theater shooter.
Time to reopen the mental institutions for such people.
It takes time for a good cover up story...
It was the video that made him angry.
I’m seeing one man as doing all that.
Illness.
I think there will be a connection to Islam found. Probably through Abu Sayaf in the Phillipines.
evil dude was committed to suicide and decided to take out as many others with him as he could. truly an evil thing to do. i’m actually surprised it doesn’t happen that way more often. perhaps most suicides are too sick and/or too depressed to engineer such actions, which is why such evil is rare.
I am very sure between the money trail, the note in the room, the video, the travel, streaming the video overseas, and the guest (and maybe even her warning before the attack), that they know very well what the cause was. Trump hint as much today and the sheriff yesterday suggested he might have been radicalized. Chalk another up to Islamic terrorism. That’s what I’ll put my money on at the moment.
It was Deep State posing as Vegas SWAT. This poor schlub walks out and they light him up and blame him for the shooting. Not like it is the first time.
Lots of evidence pointing to paddock as the patsy.
Police did not stop the shooter.
Police barged into room 72 MINUTES AFTER shooting stopped. Found Paddock dead from gunshot wound.
Cameras found placed by non-hotel staff to allow view of when police were coming.
Eyewitnesses saying shots came from two locations and not echo because sounds were more than 30 seconds apart. One set of shots from one location, another set from a location much further away.
All circumstantial evidence on Paddock thus far is flimsy.
He went to Dubai, so what? Dubai is like Hong Kong of Middle East, Lot of Americans there working. Lots of American companies there. Show that he met terrorists there and maybe you got something.
He was taking diazepam, so what. Millions of Americans do.
He wired $100k to Philippines, so what? He was loaded. Dimon at Goldman does a 100X that every day.
Take the above facts and there can be suspicion but there is NO MOTIVE, ABSOLUTELY NO MODUS OPERANDI, NO PATTERN.
Now it may be that the guy snapped. But then again it might be he didn’t. So what do we got? Zilch.
By the way, the sheriff last night said they had a suspect in custody. People presumed he meant the dead guy but who says ‘suspect in custody’ when the guy is dead. We’re missing something. Will they share or cover it up?
This man targeted people who almost certainly were Trump supporters. His motive was to kill Trump supporters - it is obvious.
I do not trust this investigation one bit at the FBI level. Under Comey and Obama the FBI became and still is a political operation and will most likely try to cover up the above logical conclusion for the motive.
Little is being said about the fact that the shooter lost a hundred grand slip-and-fall lawsuit/claim against Mandalay Bay hotel/casino.
brain tumor
Motive!!! This cretin wanted to kill people. And, he succeeded.
I’ve had this feeling that there was a second shooter involved, and that the intention the entire time was to use Paddock as the pawn/scapegoat. That’s quite a bit of gear to be hauling up to the rooms, with quite a bit of planning. Not too mention anything, that I’ve seen at least, in this guys background that he’s had any significant training.
As for motive, that’s the million dollar question...
