Stephen Craig Paddock. A 64 year old boomer, successful in every materialistic measurement: wealth, travel, luxury, tacit recognition. In any other circumstance one would have thought that this was a complete man: but in all of his pursuits he wanted something greater, something far more intangible in its worth: recognition.
Here was a man, an "evil genius" as Eric might say, who by all accounts was able to single handedly smuggle upwards of 20 firearms into an iconic Vegas hotel, and kill the most people in the shortest time in history. No military background. No ideological background. Nothing.
He was intelligent in the most twisted way imaginable: in the pursuit of a legacy, regardless of how immoral it was. That's why he left a cryptic note on the table: so he could be remembered, so that his case could be thought of for decades, in the general perception that there was some kind of grand conspiracy underpinning his actions. But there wasn't. There was only Steve.
Stop looking for connections to ISIS. Stop looking for connections to Antifa. Stop looking for his mental health issues. There are none, there will be none found. Because that is precisely what Steve wanted: a mystery. A mystery beyond all comprehension: a mystery scripted so as to endure in the human conscience for as long as his name is etched into the annals of history.
WASHINGTON -- Twelve Israelis who were unaccounted for in Las Vegas amidst a massacre there on Sunday night have been identified and are safe, an official with the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles said on Tuesday.
"All of the Israelis that we were looking for has been located," the official told The Jerusalem Post, confirming that their diplomats on the ground in Nevada were on their way back to California.

he asked a guy to take his luggage to his room. its not terribly complicated you stupid fuck. do you not have hotels in Australia or something?

then whyd he write a note

the real reason he shot all those people is because republicans refuse to do anything about guns.

And Democrats want to ban all guns so no one can resist their agenda.

Right there with you, op. I think it was just another thrill for this guy. I really wish there was more to it. The radicalization story would be so intriguing. He just doesn't fit the mold for that at all. We want there to be a better narrative, some far reaching plot that culminates in something bigger. Alas, I think this is it. He just wanted to go out with a bang. Wanting this to be something bigger just shows how powerless we are to mystical thinking. We want so much more, but this is all we'll ever get.

Besides OP answering that exact question, I think you're a bit hung up on the pen and paper on the table. Maybe he thought about scribbling down a goodbye once he pussed out. Maybe he realized he didn't want to actually get in a big firefight where he could get shot in a bad way and be in pain. Time was running out so he just left it.
Jaxon Howard
Hi fbi!
Jordan Cox
Surely this will annoy the news and such though, They want something to pin him with, "I want to be remembered" sounds sensational maybe a bit but not like motives based on religion.
Jaxson Roberts
Perhaps not so much a thrill as much as the only thrill he has ever experienced. This is not a man who seemed to elicit happiness from materalistic pursuits, be it money or casino gambling. It was more like a "job" to him, as Eric elaborated. Perhaps searching for a legacy was the only thing which stimulated his brain; remember, this man was by all accounts highly intelligent.
He was old. When he realised that he could not pursue a legacy, not become memorable, because it was too late for him, it pushed him to do the unthinkable. To seek a legacy in a moral context which few dare to explore, except those who do not understand the consequences of their actions. Paddock was different: he knew what he was doing, and what he wanted to get out of it. That's the most depressing part of all of this.
Caleb Cox
No I disagree he had a belief about something h is actions were motivated by those beliefs.

Who we know to be Stephen paddock and his handler Marilou are long gone. Marilou cleared days ago. We never saw her face, barely even in the airport surveillance video.
The dude that got framed for this, sure maybe he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe he was staying in that floor and found out then got murdered prior to the events. Still WAITING FOR AN AUTUPOSY
His brother, along with many bystanders interviewed, is an actor. There is NO WAY this man as the MSM paints him is an average joe, high stakes gambler who amassed this much artillery did this because "he snapped". This was well too thought out and calculated. There's a motive. They know it. They're just stalling and scrambling for damage control.

20 firearms + 50lbs in Ammo and 100rd Surefire magazines. Each rifle weighing from 7-12lbs, its highly unlikely he did this by himself.
Carson Gonzalez
He didn't hate the world. He saw it as an easy path to recognition and a legacy. He knew his actions weren't justified. He knew what he was doing was immoral.
But that's why he did it. That's why he left behind no trace of a motive, no trace of anything but a cryptic letter filled with random numbers. To keep people thinking. Both about him, and the circumstances of his heinous act. He was a storyteller: a man who had defied the odds to become a millionaire from being the son of a psycho bank robber. He wanted to publish a story, and tragically, he did.

>successful in every materialistic measurement: wealth, travel, luxury, tacit recognition.
He didn't have a family. He didn't even try. With that much money and mobility, if he was infertile he could at least have adopted and raised good kids and helped them start good families. He did none of this. He absorbed and regurgitated wealth through activity that almost never rose to the level of work, like some hopper for questionable money. I realize I'm nitpicking here but let's dispense once and for all with this fiction that Stephen Paddock was successful. Steve was a failure. He lived and died a failure and was probably born a failure. Even his kill ratio was nigger tier, 58 out of 547. That's some Chicago bullshit if there ever was one.
Gavin Walker
>he didn't try It tells you everything you want to know. He didn't want one. He didn't see the value in having kids, and subjecting them to the same pointless ritual that is life which he had endured, and creating a mass killer. He knew that what he was doing was wrong, and that is why he did it.
Jackson Roberts
And then you look like you were killed... You´re not taking into account the eyewitness statements that there was multiple shooters...
Jaxon Lopez

Cameron Diaz
I think OP's probably about right. He was clearly a very intelligent guy who was probably fed up with the level of normie stupidity in the US and figured he was going to take as many of the retards out as he could, while leaving no clue as to why.
All the witness statements of people who knew him make him sound like he had no patience for stupidity and it probably just got to the point w/him that he said "fuck this gay earth, I'm an hero'ing but I'm going to go out with a bang.

True story about Cars 4 kids. The money raised by them from the sale of your car/boat/property goes to only Jewish Kids. ONLY Jewish kids. No other persons.
They hid the fact with layers of obfuscation. The jingle makes it seem like its for all kids in need, but its not. The kids aren't even in need. They come from well off families in Israel.
I'm fine with making donations for kids and the poor, and have done so in the past, but 877 cars for kids is a scam.
Better off donating your vehicle to Salvation Army.
Don't get me started on the Red Cross.

Why do you need a military background when you have YOUTUBE videos? I think people who keep promoting this myth of "Need a military background" are just butthurt military fags who, "Served their country by killing enemies of the Jews" and spend the rest of their lives thinking they are worth something, when Henry Kissinger could not have said it more clearly that soldiers are just dumb animals used to carry out foreign policy objectives of DA JEWS.

Sent back by the Jews to kill the next Hitler? Are you a jew? You do realise Hitler was right? Look at your coutnry, 48% of billionaires in US are jews and 44% of all private wealth in America is owned by jews. You live under a jewish oligarchy. You went and killed the Germans who were trying to overthrow what was becoming same jewish oligarchy in germany and then you invited them all over to become your masters in the US. You are the biggest cucks in the history of the world.

This, and I say this as a white male.
Women now have equal opportunities, and do you know what? They're starting to out smart boys in school, look it up.
Meanwhile, the pathetic conservative HATES this as it diddles his fragile masculinity. Men are just jealous of women, and it just shows how they get all worried over her sexual experience. It intimidates men.
Meanwhile I live a laid back life

And there's (You). You, being a backward and monoculture retard who faps over Mosley, Hitler, Mussolini, Drimpf, Cesar, Powell, and Farage, because you want these daddies to deport all non white people and opress your women. You're fucking sick, and you don't know what you're missing out on. You believe in backwards fascist conservatism, and you hate Muslims, women and LGBTQHTINS+ because they're happy, in the current year, and you live with backwards conservative and right wing ideals.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand comped sushi memes. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical casino management most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Paddock's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike comped sushi memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Paddock's existencial catchphrase "I don't carry my own machine guns," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated taco bell employees scratching their heads in confusion as Stephen's gunfire unfolds itself on their concert pavilion. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a $100 sushi tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the filipina ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 50 gold card points of my own (preferably lower).

This is the reason why theyre pretending like there is no motive. There absolutely is a motive and you'd have to be an absolute idiot to think they dont know it already. Theyre purposefully not saying what it is though because the motive is harmful to their political agendas. By pushing forth the "no motive" narrative they can twist it into a positive for their political agenda. Once public attention has died down a few weeks from now then theyll release the motive quietly on a Friday night probably after another big news story breaks and pretend like they just learned it so the backlash against leftists will be muffled
