Paddock is clearly different and his actions raise so many questions. He clearly is very intelligent and not insane in the simplistic narrative of public shooters. He became wealthy not only through real estate, which is difficult, but supposedly by professional gambling, which is nearly impossible.

Paddock reportedly earned $5 mil in gambling in 2015.

There is no way a casino is going to let a gambler walk away with that amount of money.

His gambling was clearly a smoke screen for his money laundering of casino-related drug trade cash.

Well, either that or as a corrupt bureaucRAT, or leftover bank loot from his daddy.

The media keeps repeating this with a straight face as if they are repeating a fact.

If they say “he made money as a professional poker player”, then of course that makes sense.

But if they say (as they seem to be saying in many stories) that he made money gambling against the casinos, in fact, that he made money playing slot machines — and without calling him a cheater, mind you — then they might as well be saying “he made money as a professional alchemist and regularly turned lead into gold to supplement his income”.

Would the media report “turned lead into gold” with the same straight face as they are reporting “professional slot machine player”?

There is nothing stupider than a journalist in the entire visible universe. Nothing.

And it almost seems like it doesn’t matter if the journalist is left or right (though of course leftists have a leg up regarding stupidity).

This proposition seems true:

If you are a journalist, then you are a moron.
