LAS VEGAS — Stephen Paddock was a contradiction: a gambler who took no chances. A man with houses everywhere who did not really live in any of them. Someone who liked the high life of casinos but drove a nondescript minivan and dressed casually, even sloppily, in flip-flops and sweatsuits. He did not use Facebook or Twitter, but spent the past 25 years staring at screens of video poker machines.

Mr. Paddock, a former postal worker and tax auditor, lived an intensely private, unsocial life that exploded into public view on Sunday, when he killed 58 people at a country music festival and then shot himself. But even with nationwide scrutiny on his life, the mystery of who he was has only seemed to deepen.

Hey I’ll play this game of what’s your theory.

Stephan Paddock a 64 year old guy goes nuts and shoots up a crowd of people. He makes $500,000 a year with a job listing of apartment manager of a complex he invested in.

What if he was a fixer for the deep state? Say gun runner for justice, or FBI. Kind of doing dirty deeds real cheap. Living the high life around the world and supplementing his income with comps from the casinos he laundered money from. He’s got houses around the country, two planes, living the dream.

They say something changes in October of last year to make him suddenly start building an arsenal. What if the election of Trump suddenly put him out of a job? The Obama/Clinton crime organization couldn’t afford to keep paying him. Suddenly he is unemployed. He has some money built up but not enough to support the lifestyle he was accustomed to.

Well someone has to pay. Who better than the people he might feel directly responsible for his current predicament? He seethes and plans, they say he shopped around for a cheap flight for his girlfriend to get her out of the country. After she leaves he wires $100,000 to her.
He then uses his experience as a fixer to set this whole thing up but messes up and never makes it out alive.

So of it is true, some of it fits and the rest is one more theory until the truth comes out if ever.

The “Mafia” in the US has always been a power player in the Democrat party.

There is only a fine paper mesh between “The Mafia” and the CIA.

Loons like Paddock have always been kept in the toolbox, to be employed at the opportune moment, like when Obama had to eliminate a judge that was obstructing him down in Tucson a few years ago, or when the SCOTUS was poised to terminate the flow of cash from public employee unions to the Democrat party last year.

The entire thing is eerily close to the opening chapter of Matt Bracken’s “Enemies, Foreign and Domestic.”

I've been thinking along those lines too.
This guy lived inside his own head. Maybe living out his fantasy. Check what book or movie he read or watched over and over.

[Edward.Fish]

That’s really quite a good explanation of where we’re at — thanks for sharing.

That's true, and something I had been thinking to myself after I'd first heard about "a shooting at/into a concert".

[Figment]

Makes as much sense as anything I’ve seen so far

[Fantasywriter]

I’m glad you liked it. It captures the gun grabbers’ MO to a T. They say, ‘Let’s compromise.’ If you agree, you may imagine the issue has been resolved.

But it’s never resolved. They will always, always be back for that next slice/grab.

Stevie was a crook and his brother was a leech. Nice family!

How do you know that Paddock flipped out?

In part, I was trying to make a joke, but when I said "flipped out" I meant departed from normal behavior patterns.

Obviously, there was planning and premeditation. He didn't just have a fit of anger or rage or temporary insanity. He didn't flip out in that way.

But somehow something in his head got switched from normal to abnormal. I'm not sure he was clinically insane, but he was definitely moving in a different world from most people.

How did he get involved with the “swamp”?

[Benny Boy]

He had an aviators license and one plane (at least) so what do we know about it his travels in it? Are we to believe he did all these Texas to Florida to Nevada trips by car when he had a plane? And what happened to Sheriff Lombardo? Why is he no longer doing press conferences?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Anybody can own a plane. It’s owning a plane in airworthy condition that takes lots of money. For all we know he has a wrecked hulk in a storage unit somewhere.

“He never had the number “13” tattooed on his neck.”

I saw the 13 on his neck in the earlier photos. Maybe it was just a lens flare right?

It was a shadow of his adam's apple and appears in no other photo.

Paddock was employed by the “swamp” all of his adult life, with Raytheon, Goddard Lab, IRS, etc.

You keep on repeating this obvious lie, like it is the only thing they programmed you to respond.

Tell us who owns you.

Ok, you got me.

I work for Big Machine records representing Taylor Swift. Our spies discovered that Paddock was a huge Swifty, tattooing the number "13" on his neck to show his devotion to Taylor.

It was then we realized Paddock was the perfect man for the mission.

I though two weeks ago I had photoshopped all the pics of "13" tattoos off Paddock's neck before we sent him off on his final assignment to derail the career of Taylor's arch-nemesis, Jason Aldean, who was making inroads with Taylor's base of lovestruck 13-year old girls.

Then this damn "shot" photo surfaced and I realized there was a photo that I had missed.

But you're on to me. You've got corned.

Funny thing is, everyone's looking at ISIS and AntiFa.

Nobody's looking at Taylor Swift.

Until now.

[Drew68]

You've got corned.

And that's not a typo either.

That's the clue you need to blow this whole thing wide open.

Who was Stephen Paddock?

Ask Taylor Swift. She knows. She's got corned.

One of your many crippling problems is that you assume that nobody understands.

Our new AG made “13” famous some months back.

Go back to your mom’s basement.

“InfoWars” is your “source? for your information?

OoooooooKaaaaaaay, I know who I’m dealing with now.

Good luck with that!
