he Las Vegas Mass Murderer's Motive: A Psychoanalyst Explains
American Thinker.com ^ | August 4, 2019 | he Las Vegas Mass Murderer's Motive: A Psychoanalyst Explains

Posted on 08/04/2019 6:43:41 AM PDT by Kaslin

On October 1, 2017, America was stunned by the horrible mass murder in Las Vegas. The lengthy search for the murder's motive most likely ends in the bitter unconscious severe neurotic conflicts of Stephen Paddock's troubled mind. His obsessive-compulsively planned mass murder seemed intended to make his father's life of petty crime look like peanuts in comparison. Psychodynamically, Paddock’s horrendous act was an ultimate fantasied oedipal victory. As noted by Dave Phillips and Mathew Haag’s perceptive New York Times article of October 2, 2017, Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, Stephen Paddock’s father, was a grifter, con artist, bank robber and jail-breaker who spent years on the FBI’s most wanted list.


Stephen Paddock's 2010 passport

On the surface, Stephen Paddock’s record had not a hint of criminality until his ghastly mass murder. As many narcissistic criminals do, however, Stephen Paddock thought he would get away with his record-breaking lone career -- crime. Stephen likely fantasied that his ultimate powerful crime would dwarf his father’s failed life of small-fry crimes. In his unconsciously motivated final neurotic act, Stephen would try to resolve the inner smoldering life-long shame and humility caused by his father’s more than embarrassing arrest

Stephen Paddock’s severe neurosis and neurotic character disorder was behind his horrible mass murder. Not a brain tumor, not substance abuse, not genetics, but rather, psychodynamics of a neurosis. Neurosis is not always merely mild anxiety that responds to supportive psychotherapy and tranquilizers. Neurosis can occur in CEOs of major businesses, world leaders with control of nuclear bombs, and mass murderers.

These killings were inspired by the first shooting of a congressman where all the rats applauded and encouraged this type of action!!! Remember crazy Maxine Waters’s insane marching orders to her extremely left wing bozos?!! SHE SHOULD Be HELD ACCOUNTABLE..she and the rest of the socialist demonic demonKKKrats encouraged and gave birth to antifa ...OOOOOHHH and we must NOT forget Hollywood the main pit of hell headquarters where ALL THEIR BRAINWASHING MOVIES CONTAINING NOTHING BUT DEMONIC KILLINGS AND SHOOTINGS!!!

If no one else was involved, why did a woman show up at the concert, warning everyone there that they were About To Die..?

My biggest concern is Jose, the hotel worker, who supposedly ‘responded’ to the shooting then turns out he has enormous amount of Gun Shot Residue (GSR) on his hands. GSR does not lie. It is only produced by combustion of a bullet, i.e. it’s firing. You can handle all the ammo you want but not have GSR. You only get it from firing a weapon.

IMO, Jose knew Paddock was a weapons dealer and planned to rip him off. After killing him and stealing his guns and money he needed a cover. His team included the woman who upon learning of the shootup about to occur told the concert goers they were going to die. Jose shoots the fuel tank to create a diversion. When the fuel tank fails to ignite he tells his team he’s going to shoot the concert goers.

Interesting theory, there are a few points there I hadn’t considered, there.

Where we can agree 100% is that Paddock was ripped off and the mass shooting etc was an effort to create an escape distraction.

Yeah, you have an interesting angle, there.

Another weirdy about Jose:

Shot in the leg, yet drives over 700 miles the NEXT DAY to visit his Mexican hometown.

JUST CUZ...?

Another suspicious wowzer.

re: “To me that says the US government was somehow involved, even if not by intention.”

OH YEAH - the perennial F-ups (fedgov) pulled off “The Perfect Crime”.

No, not in my book.

Apply Occam’s razor, the simplest explanation is 999 times out of 1000 the CORRECT one.

And returned immediately to appear on the Ellen Degeneris show, what?

You want to zoom ahead to a conclusion -

What are the facts tying him to this event?

What seems to you to provide the most simple explanation for the shooting?

You keep ‘shooting ahead’ for a reason WHEN you haven’t even ascertained for a fact if he was present.

This is BS. There was a food Truck 500 yards on the east side of the concert behind the VIP three story buildings. From the hotel there wasn't a line of site to the Truck. The lady in the truck was hit.

If the the six or seven rounds came from the hotel they had to pass through the VP buildings on an angel and into the truck at 500 yards with a .223.


This is the video with the rounds hitting the truck and she saying she got hit

https://youtu.be/8F2CRgsgkKI?t=254


She was on the top right side of this map exactly where it says says gate 6


This is was on the roof of the building higher the Paddocks room. The VIP buildings on over the top of the Stage those white buildings. The last white building behind it was the food truck which can't be seen here. If it can't be seen here it couldn't be viewed from Paddocks room

Because conservatives were targets this (the largest mass murder in the United States) was swept under the rug by the white liberal elites who run the country.

"You're shooting ahead for the LV shooting cause

Kay, well, it HAS been two years now since the LV massacre, right?

So rather than shooting ahead I'd say I'm kinda squirting a bit, maybe even dribbling --two years and all, right..?

But JFK? He met his end 50 years ago, not just two years, so, uh, while I'm not a JFK specialist, what does your Occam's Razor say about HIM..?

I mean, just for Ole Times Sake.

...?

re: “But JFK?”

I covered that extensively on the 40th anniversary; I wonder if those posts are still readable/accessible? I hit the known, factual evidence at the time, the witnesses, both at ground (LIKE the photographer whose car at the rear of the motorcade SAW LHO in the window) and those in the same building 1 floor down when LHO fired off those rounds ...

WE got MORE info from personalities who were alive at the time and witnessed it than you guys who are not in the Dallas media area ...
