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.

Maybe he got a phone call? “And miles to go before I sleep...”
My friend proffered that about an hour ago (1:30PM Eastern)
Wasn't he already dead when authorities came thru the door?
“High stakes gambler” seems like an easy way to explain large money flows you can’t otherwise explain.
The IRS would have some record of this from the casinos even if the guy didn't report a dime of it.
If there's no record of it, I'd say there's a good chance he was using his "high stakes gambler" job description to hide his real job -- drug dealing, illegal arms trafficking, laundering money, etc.
TOtal horse hit. THe truth will come out despite the fake news spin
You're an optimist.
He’s not Black, and probably not m*zzy, so the media got what they wanted - the perfect perpetrator.
Near the end of your posts linked 2 plus minutes video, the pink T-shirt man stood next to an Asian woman, each carried the same sign in the anti-Trump protest and carried on animated with each other. Could that woman be his Asian roommate?
“is there any confirmation he was active in any of the soros funded / Obama funded hate groups?”
I haven’t heard anything about party affiliation or political views. Maybe the left is getting better at sheep-dipping their killers.
Kinda like the Sandy Hook shooter, only one photo of him, then poof!
The face and height seemed about right, but was her sign written in Spanish?
he is a msnbc democrat
I thought his roommate was described as an ethnic Indonesian Australian citizen. I couldnt make out the details of the signs other than to note that they were the same.
It could be that he carries into his room a large number of killin stuff each time he hits the casinos, just in case he loses big! He coulda lost big this time. /s
That was a collateral thought I entertained briefly as well. Would have been easy to set him up as a lone wolf, sitting on the sideline until the police closed in. Then make it look like a suicide, and split! It is possible.
>>Maybe he got a phone call? And miles to go before I sleep...
Extremely likely. Recall the out of the blue shootup of an SF law office just before Feinstein tried to outlaw assault rifles in CA.
It does not sound like an AK or AR or other rifle.
The long bursts also indicate a heavier piece of machinery than a full auto rifle.
Those belt feeds are more than likely WW2 and NOT CHEAP.
4000 rounds is not a lot when belts can be a couple of hundred per
My friend proffered a Manchurian gunman that was left by the shooter after the fact.
We'll learn more as time goes, but the rumors are starting a la Sandy Hill.
The blond with the identical signs next to the pink shirt pink p-hat man is not the woman is question.
Somewhere else in the video there’s a woman that resembles Marilou very closely.
But I’ve not gone back to study it and the video attached to the twitter feed I’m unable to open.
All I know is that nothing about this story is adding up.
I think that’s why FR and the internet are buzzing with every theory under the sun. No one can make sense of it, as there doesn’t seem to be (as yet) any logical explanation concerning this guy’s motive.
