The Last Refuge ^ | 10-2-17 | Sundance

Posted on 10/02/2017 3:26:23 PM PDT by CincyRichieRich

The man who opened fire on an outdoor concert on the Las Vegas Strip late Sunday, killing at least 58 people and wounding 515 more before he was found dead in a 32nd floor hotel room, has been identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, the Clark County sheriff said at a news conference Monday.

♦64-Year-old “Ordinary Guy”

♦No violent criminal background.

♦Paddock was a licensed pilot, owned two airplanes and had no criminal history beyond a citation that was handled normally.

♦Lockheed Martin said in a statement that Paddock worked for a predecessor company of theirs for three years starting in 1985.

♦Prior Residences: California, Florida, Texas, Nevada (reported 27 residences).

♦Paddock lived in Mesquite, Texas, before moving to Mesquite, Nevada, about 82 miles northeast of Las Vegas

♦More than 10 rifles were found in the Mandalay Bay hotel room with Paddock.

♦During the time he owned a home in Melbourne Florida (2013-2015), just west of I-95 in Brevard County, Stephen Paddock bragged about going to The Philippines and Europe. (link)

Watch interview with one of Stephen Paddock’s brothers Eric Paddock of Orlando Florida:

Bruce Paddock (brother) told NBC News the family grew up in Sun Valley, California, and Stephen Paddock (shooter) earned money from managing apartment buildings with his Florida-based mother.

"what are the chances that mercenary soldiers carried out the attack and left Paddock behind as a prop-up patsy"

Doesn't even need to be mercenary soldiers. Could simply be a couple of America haters who specifically picked a country music concert to shoot up (from two different windows simultaneously).

An alleged neighbor of the alleged shooter called into the Savage Nation today.

"Rick" (was in the marine corps) was a neighbor in Mesquite, NV for 7-8 months. He says 100% this guy isn't the "type." He drank beer with the guy. Says the alleged shooter was a Trump fan. He told Clarke county sheriff's office everything he knows.

UNIDENTIFIED OFFICER: "We have sight on the suspect's door. I need for everybody in that hallway to be aware of it and get back. We need to pop this and see if we can get any type of response from this guy. See if he's in here or if he's actually moved somewhere else."

The guy had been dead (how long?) prior to LEO's entering the room.

No, I think there were 4 kids total, including Stephen. He had 3 brothers.

ISIS generally does not randomly and falsely claim complicity in attacks like these.

That hasn't been my experience. They seem to claim every terrorist attack that happens as their ow.

So, he wasn't an accountant. He was a successful real estate investor. Now the question is, REITs or flipping houses, or owning apartment buildings or was he a developer?

These are not things that are very had to find out. The reporters, instead of hustling the public, need to do a bit of hustling to get facts.

Reporters ought to be trying to paint a picture of the guy, you know, what kind of a person was he. They aren't.

People who have higher analytical skills discount the CTH as fake news.

People with higher analytical skills realize that CTH is an opinion and news analysis blog, not a news site.

Per articles that were posted here earlier today, he owned apartment buildings.

Anything from the conservative tree house should be not be taken seriously.

You're confusing CTH with The Gateway Pundit. CTH was great on Trayvon, Brown, and many other subjects. Cruzers hate them though because Cruzers aren't capable of being objective.

Not an argument. Do you actually have any proof to your claims? You are beginning to generate ozone.

We have a national media? Coulda fooled me. They have no interest in learning facts about this guy, it’s better to leave it all undefined so they can push the gun ban angle. I hate our fraud make believe media.

My co-worker says that when Australia banned their guns it solved their problem. He fervently believes we should ban guns here.

Is that true about Australia? I know in Brazil that banning guns ended up meaning that no one could defend themselves from the drug cartels because I heard this from another co-worker who escaped Brazil.

Thanks for the ping, surroundedbyblue.

Basically the Australian experience is mixed. There is no real evidence that gun crime overall has declined since the laws were changed in the late 1990s - at least not any faster than it was already declining before that.

However, it does seem difficult to deny that one particular type of gun crime - massacres by single gunmen - did dramatically decline after that.

From 1987 until 1996, Australia experienced seven such massacres -

Hoddle Street (Melbourne, Victoria), 1987: 7 dead.
Queen Street (Melbourne, Victoria), 1987, 8 dead.
Kimberley (Northern Territory), 1987: 5 dead.
Surry Hills (Sydney, NSW), 1990: 5 dead.
Strathfield (Sydney, NSW), 1991: 7 dead.
Central Coast (NSW), 1992: 6 dead.
Port Arthur (Tasmania), 1996: 35 dead.

The laws were changed after Port Arthur. And there has not been one single gunman massacre since. It went from being almost an epidemic to just not happening.

But that is one very rare crime to begin with. It's not indicative of the overall crime situation. And they didn't come in after one shooting, but after a spate of single gunman spree killings over the course of more than a decade - The Port Arthur massacre of 1996 (35 killed) came after the Hoddle Street (7 killed) and Queen Street (8 killed) mass killings in Melbourne in 1987, the Kimberley massacre (5 killed) of 1987, the Surry Hills (5 killing (5 killed) in 1990, the Strathfield Massacre (7 killed) of 1991, and the Central Coast Massacre (6 killed) of 1992. We had an epidemic of this style of mass murder in the late 1980s and early 1990s - Port Arthur was just the last and the worst. There hasn't been one since.

The calibers were revealed at the 5;00 press conference. Those are my kind of details the retarded press omits.

He’s probably a Cruzer or confusing CTH with Gateway Pundit.

According to a document which was posted on one of the threads today, she was born in 1948 and is 69 now...several years older than her deceased “roommate.”
