The Valium theory goes out the window if he only took 50 pills in a year and a half.
“He said that he had no mental health issues...”
I’m guessing that he lied like this throughout the entire interview. Although there would be enough witnesses around to check his stories out.
I’m pretty sure he lied about the fall too - it looked pretty staged.
I remember the day after it happened a thread, here or somewhere else, a poster simply asking if we’ll find out shooter was on diazepam.
“He rarely drank because he didn’t want to lose his edge yet he’d open up every bottle in the room because they were comped to him.”
Gives a peek into what a creep he was in my view.
Did he sue that hotel (in the article) and win a multi-million dollar judgement? That might explain his wealth.
Do you mean to tell me that CNN obtained a court document before the FBI did? Something seriously wrong here.
Number 1 big question: where did he get the money to gamble?
He was an amoral shell. Gambling, prostitutes. Waiting to be filled up with homicidal rage.
A high stakes gambler for whom millions of dollars is no big deal, but he took time out from his busy gambling schedule to sue the casino for a few thousand dollars of medical bills?
Does not compute.
They focus on the drugs, but that’s not what got my attention.
He regularly gambled a million a night, but he would carry his own drink in to avoid tipping servers.
I never met a bad tipper who was a good person.
The fact that you gamble in the millions doesn’t make you a bad person. To many, it’s just a form of entertainment. Some people who do it are very charitable too. I’ve even met people who don’t gamble and who trouble making ends meet who are fairly giving when it comes to gratuities. So what does it say about someone’s self absorbed greed and obsession with controlling his own gains and losses that he avoids being put in a situation where he might have to share just a little?
If it seems absurd to draw an equivalence to shooting up a crowd, it does, on it’s face. But I’m talking about something deeper. Being so concerned with yourself and so contemptuous of others.
More than once I have read that his favorite form of gambling was video poker. Can anyone win by playing these type machines over an extended period of time? Louisiana’s gambling former governor Edwin Edwards always referred to video poker as a suckers game. Play video poker for the long haul and you will lose all. I wonder if Paddock’s real business was money laundering for someone else.
Why does everyone assume the psycho mass murderer was telling the truth when he said he would gamble $1 million a night?

I sure would like to know if he'd been on a losing streak. It could explain some things.
ok. The guys brain. He was a gambling addict. He was a violent, controlling, sadistic sex addict (per ho who said he paid 6k for violent sex). He loved guns. He got pleasure from gambling and causing pain.
This guy’s brain was FRIED. Somebody influenced this guy to do what he did. If he got away with it, HOW MUCH WAS HE GOING TO GET PAID? and who was going to pay him? The attack had no precursor. He had not done anything like this before, so who got him to take this major leap?
