If Stephen Paddock was a deep in debt gambler who thought the casinos ripped him off - why didn’t he go after them?

He shot up a country music festival full of innocent people. But full of pro-Trump folks. He picked his target very carefully and with months of preparation.

There are lots of angles that need to be investigated.

The muslim angle (ISIS called him one of their soldiers). He did travel to the ME last year and his girlfriend is Indonesian (the largest population muslim country).

The hateful left angle. He has lots of links to the angry left. And as they keep saying “Trump is evil and equal to Hitler” without dispute from the leaders of the left (like obama and Hillary), eventually, someone is going to follow the lead.

And we just recently had a Republican congressman and his aides nearly assassinated by another older white left wing Hillary supporter male. Funny how the left buried that story.

He seemed to have made his wealth in real estate. Did he lose it too?

NBC reported that he was “known” to authorities but with no details given. His father was once on the FBI’s top 10 most wanted for robbing banks in LV.

There will be mucho info coming in the next few weeks. Who knows where it where lead.

But I doubt he was someone who just “snapped.” Way too much planning and preparation to include wiring his girlfriend $100,000 days before he committed this crime.

Yes, that is my first guess as to why shoot up the country music people. But so far, they have not released anything from his computers or social media presence to substantiate it. That is why I wondered if perhaps this is about something else.

All true, but he also won a lot and I doubt he was stressed out about the bucks. He was a high roller and actually wanted to move into the video poker world, although he was quite well-off himself and didn’t need anything else. He did it for the thrills, and I don’t think he had any grudge against the gaming industry.

One would think that he would bomb a casino floor or something if his target was specifically the casinos themselves.

He did apparently have explosives at his house.
