Before he opened fire late Sunday, killing at least 58 people at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip, the gunman Stephen Paddock was living out his retirement as a high-stakes professional gambler in a quiet town outside Las Vegas.

All the info about this guy screams that someone was funding him.

He was an accountant and gambler. It could be his money.

Who gives two rat’s a@@es what the political association of this psychopath was. He killed many and the who or why I could care less. He killed end of story

The article seems to be based on interviews with people who really didn’t know the guy.

[dragnet2]

Not buying it.

There are three voter records for a Stephen Paddock in Florida marked as age 65 and 66 and all marked as Democrat. This site maintains some "swing state" voter records for states like FL, OH and PA but does not seem to have NV. But articles said Paddock lived in Florida up until 2 years ago.

As much moving around as he has done for the last few years, I would say he wasn’t working.

I never believe ANYTHING the Compost publishes.

Neither do I.

[funfan]

What if he wasn’t the shooter at all? Maybe someone killed him and all the other people but the narrative is he did it and committed suicide.

[Yaelle]

Lol.

[AppyPappy]

Occam’s Razor.

[ScottinVA]

They’re trying to nudge the rest of the trained-chimp media and their mindless followers into believing Paddock was a conservative.

He owned several properties, and it doesn't mean he hadn't saved money. We won't know until we know.

[LdSentinal]

YeaH...doesn't look like the same Stephen Paddock of Nevada.

He was 64 years old.

[longtermmemmory]

is there any confirmation he was active in any of the soros funded / Obama funded hate groups?

(Should the democrat party now be classed as a violent gang?)

[AppyPappy]

We may never know. If he was a convert working for ISIS, he drops out of the narrative

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

The WAPO article sheds some light on his past, the headline is BS, of course.
They keep referring to him as ‘retired’, what about the rest of his life. Who is he. If he is the Steve Paddock listed on the linkedin profile, then there are ties to Jordan and Dubai.

Paddock looks like the anti-trump protester at this rally.

He’s wearing a pink NASA shirt at that rally.

Stephen Paddock worked for Lockheed Martin, lived in Melbourne, Fl.

There’s much more to WHO he is.

I took my car to the shop today, and they had The View on the TV (sound was off, thank God, just subtitles). I got there fifteen minutes into the show, and there was not a single mention of the Vegas shooting the entire time I was watching. Strange.

[Phlap]

My theory? JAL which is short for Just Another Lunatic. A well armed one at that.

This voter records site shows three Stephen Paddock records for Florida. We know he lived in Florida up until two years ago. Both show a female also named Paddock living at the same address. CNN said he was married in the past, but wasn't currently.

I think this site has not been updated in a few years, but if he was registered to vote in Florida before 5 or so years ago, he would be in this site for sure. If we find out the name of his ex-wife, it could prove one of these records is his.

All these records are registered Democrat. http://politicalstrategies.com/name/Stephen+Paddock

I read somewhere that a few years ago he attempted unsuccessfully to sue one of the Las Vegas casinos. If that’s true, I’d say he was nursing a serious grudge, had some sort of stressor in his life that led to suicidal ideation, and decided to kill two birds with one stone. It doesn’t help that he knew he’d get 24/7 worldwide publicity.
