He just wanted to kill people and this was his best opening to do it

He was a lone wolf who did it because his father was a psychopath.

End of story.

What leads an old man with no criminal history to suddenly want to kill people?

> because his father was a psychopath.
But how did his father influence him? my understanding is he was not present in his life
or do you mean it was in the DNA?

He was bored.

Something to do so why not do it

I don't know. I don't have a criminal history and I've thought about it before. It's just an urge, and maybe he actually went through with it

DNA, his brother's probably one in the making as well

KGB sleeper turned by mossad

Sorry Mi6 sleeper turned by FSB

Go back to Infowars

I haven't seen a video of him doing anything.

Stephen Paddock worked in a place where people go to be garbage. Vegas. Everyday you have to deal with drunks and weirdos at your "job". You loose faith in humanity. This was a work place psycho innocent.

I never really get into these shootings but this one I just can't stop wondering. It's driving me crazy. I don't even care about the victims I just wanna know what all he had planned and possibly why. More room pictures would be great.

Good post. Best explanation I've seen yet.

>no projection at all here

he was laundering money for an ISIS gun deal, the ISIS double crossed him, killed him, took the guns, murdered everyone, fled for their lives

may have been officially sanctioned, recruited at his federal job

meh, don't know if that counts as a "conspiracy theory" but it's more plausible to me than the FBI official explanation of "LOL IDK JUST WENT CRAZY I GUESS BOOMERS IMIRITE"

I know its inconclusive nonsense. Cause the truth is we know fuck all.

I wish someone would comp us on some dope inside info knawmsayin

But it makes the most sense of all the explanations I read
because I can imagine someone living in Vegas and seeing all that degeneracy all day every day can start hating humanity

except you said "worked" - Paddock didn't work in Vegas AFAIK, he was wealthy and retired and gambled all day

He hated country music.

...

His girlfriend said he liked country music.

A disgruntled boomer who hates the President begins to stash weapons and munitions and waits for an opportune moment to strike percieved threats to his ideaology. He shoots up a country music festival after systematically casing the area with the aid of at least one other person who has yet to be implicated and kills more than 50 Americans because “muh candidate lost to a racist.”

tl;dr This man was an insane liberal who took out his psychopathic anger at Trump on perceived supporters.

"worked" as in he sat there long enough to observe people, to get jaded about being good at being comped. To be a sad gambler who's aging like shit.

This is just what you want to see though.: You want him to be a liberal, because you're a right-winger.

But there is no reason whatsoever to assume that

The guy was an anti gun campaigner and egotistical. Britain banned guns after a mass shooting, Australia banned guns after a mass shooting. Why so many guns in the room? He couldn't shoot them all. They were there to make a point. Plus he go's down in history as the guy that got rid of guns. That's also why it's all gone quiet, about the shooting. If it came out it would hurt the anti gun lobby, but also the gun lobby doesn't need another mass shooting.

There are people his age that hate the new country music. No idea about paddock but I know country has a generational divide.

exactly, faggot.

It wasn't him

Well I'm not even American and I'm like that, too
I hate new country music, but I like the old : )

It was a false flag. Later to be blamed on the left to push the right to take up arms against left. The left's final push to ban guns. Leading blm, antifa to slaughter, useful idiots. Divide and conquer.

Did you even watch the interview with his brother? He said they were both bad kids and the only reason they don't have an arrest record is they were smart enough to hang out with those stupid enough to get caught instead

Is this how the Boomers are gonna go out? They just become active shooters?

Congrats on making the most typical Inforwars post even though I asked not to in the OP

You included all the chlichés too, you only forgot to say "problem reaction solution"

Just stating the facts.

hoax with actors, theories planted to make victims looks real
youtube.com/watch?v=ce0rC-8-8c8
I hope you know that in mass shooting drills, they practice on simulated social media where shills are sent out from the drill to insist that the drill is real, to argue with simulated doubters/conspiracy theorists etc. They also practice simulated local news reporting the drill as if its real.
In the event of a drill gone live, which has happened several times , the drill participants take to social media, as well as contracted out PR agencies and insist that the drill is not a drill. this is to protect the families of the victims, since the drill is supposed to be real since it cohencidentally went live. This is why during training, they practice establishing a social media presence which insist the drill is not a drill.
soros has the ability to put thousands of fake protestors anywhere any time for an anti-gun protest or blm protest, therefore this is a drill gone live, made up of an innner ring of the injured witness types who are trusted to talk to the media like Corrine Lomas, who was a Dr. Phil hack and now plays a conspiracy theorist white trash witness.
"Morgan Starnes, 23, social media manager for a Vegas PR firm and recent graduate of the University of Oregon, was enjoying the concert with a friend that night. Here, she recounts her terrifying experience to correspondent Adrienne Gaffney."
Here is your typical example of the crisis actors that filled this Sunday night concert
She works for a PR firm, PR is the definition of propaganda.
The number of these media hoaxes has increased dramatically since the 2012, Smith Mundt Modernization Act, which altered the original act to allow foreign propaganda, to now be used on domestic audiences, in other words its legal to hire Crowds on Demand, and crisis actors and lie to the public, and because of non disclosure agreements, its illegal to talk!

>facts
there's no indication that he was left-leaning or that he hated Trump
apparently he didn't care about politics but if we had to place him somewhere, it'd be on the right rather than the left:
here's what we know:
>he liked country music (girlfriend said so)
>he was a 2nd amandment guy, gun owner
>he got wealthy running his own businesses
>was a Truther, conspiracy theory guy (believed 9/11 was an inside job)
doesn't sound like a leftie to me

He was a Fed. That much I'm almost sure of. I think it was possibly a setup gone wrong.

Cram them full of non-combustible data, chock them so damned full of ‘facts’ they feel stuffed, but absolutely brilliant with information. Then they’ll feel they’re thinking, they’ll get a sense of motion without moving.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, 1951

(((They're))) fucking with us now.They know we know,but (((they)) don't care.Its being rubbed in our face in the knowledge it's already too late to do shiiit. It's to demoralise the critical thinkers.

this..

Just another no-name executive transport, look that way

Psychosis suffered as a side effect of the Valium he was taking. Built slowly over time and his psychiatrist was too dumb to see it. Scientology was right all along.

it obviously never happened. we have paddock placed at a casino watching stephen a smith on TV during a cam newton segment.

advertisement for vegas and mgm (((goldwyn meyer))) aka Hollywood studios

Me too, this one is giving me jon benet flashbacks, the longer they take with ANY meaningful information the more convinced i am that there are coverups or major spin being created to push a particular narrative.

Look into paddocks aircraft. And think about what else you can see from MB

He was not alone. A blacjack dealer user ,posted his id badge with time stamp, and said at least 6 casinos were robbed in the chaos. Also said the floor bosses were running diagnostics on all e gaming machines to make sure malware wasnt uploaded.

a mad man went on a rampage. simple as that

>destroyed the economy
>destroyed the country
>destroyed the future
>actively destroying the present

Here is what happened. He was running guns for the government like fast and furious. This explains him playing 100k an hour at video poker. Not only how he could afford to do it but WHY he would. He was laundering money to legitimize it.

He was set up to do a sale. This explains why he took 26 guns of so many makes and models to his room. They were to display and demonstrate to the buyer. This way he would be on camera buying and selling the guns and bringing them into the room, his prints would literally be all over them.

The "buyer" showed up, mossad probably wokring with Sheldon Adelson like John user said. They shot him in the head and did the mass shooting, fled to a room on the same floor.

youtu.be/hWNnWpgL7-k

Lol and his brother said he 'wasnt a gun guy' which alone is a dog whistle for left leaning, so apparently no one knew this guy. And if he like country why not shoot up one of the other music events he scouted?

With all the cameras there, I still havent seen anyone actually get shot. Thankfully, this is a false flag.

Where have you been? There were multiple shooters. He probably didn't even do any shooting. He's a patsy.

He didn't do it. No chance. If you believe he did you have probably been lobotomized long ago as an innocent little child.

You are as disgusting as the MSM and democrats. Trying to push a narrative that is not true is lying no matter which side does it.

Is your name Owen?

Obviously that was a lie that he told to his family, because he had a fucking arsenal. He sounds like a closeted conservative, if anything.

Just a nut who snapped.

He didn’t. No proof has come out that he is in fact the shooter. Just the word of FBI. Paddock the patsy.
Only fact we know is a person the room died. People at Route 91 were injured and shot.

...

Stephen Padock was am adrenaline junky. He gambled high stakes for the high it gave him. He was too physically lazy and unfit for base jumping or extreme sports so gambling was his rush.

It got old ... It didn't give him the high anymore. He slowly spiraled into depression. Seeing his only passion in life dry up and die left him empty. With the gambling thrill gone he saw Vegas for what it is. A pit of human degeneracy.

He lost respect for the human animals, but he wanted that rush back. He knew this world had nothing left for him. There was one thing he would do ... one last thing.

Nigger where the fuck do you think you are? cnn.com?

Stephen Paddock was used as the fall guy by the FBI in a false flag operation.

We know this because he was in the perfect position to have the attack carried out. A room overlooking concert venues he'd stayed in before, a freight elevator where he could carry guns up from, history of mental illness previously. Perfect candidate to keep up the mystery while providing some clues to lead people to the lone wolf conclusion.

We know this was a false flag with multiple shooters for a few pieces of evidence and reason. 1. The Police Scanner mentions multiple shooters
2. Footage exists of people running from shooters in different casinos
3. People in and outside the concert reported multiple shooters
4. One person who gave a statement to LVMPD reporting multiple shooters just got accidented.
5. Footage aimed at the Mandalay Bay Casino seems to indicate multiple shooters, although Paddock's room on the 32nd floor was certainly used.

John's prediction is particularly interesting. He predicted that it'd be a false flag operation that would do a couple of things.
1. A "High Incident Project" to get people scared of large open areas (i.e. a concert venue)
2. That OSI and Chertoff, producers of security equipment would profit
3. Figures in Nevada, as well as the state, would support legislation requiring this equipment in casinos and elsewhere.
All of this has or is coming true.

Let's look in Paddock's Room. First off, the distance is incredibly vast, too vast for a mere gun enthusiast to shoot 59 people and injure 500+. Secondly, in the security capital of the state, and for that matter, most anywhere else, it's impossible to bring that many guns up to a hotel, even if he had the perk of the freight elevator. Third, cartridges, the cartridges are on top of his blood and are hardly found anywhere else, in a room where "one man" continually fired for 9-11 minutes.

For those who don't think there where multiple shooters and need good scientific evidence.
heres the Forensics boys.

...

he might not have even done it, I say it was a false flag op. no camera footage from hotel, no interviews with 'guard who first responded'... their are too many gaps in information, withheld information. i'm just waiting for the truth to come out like it always does with conspiracies.

Liberals can buy guns too, some of them even shoot up baseball games and groups of cops and isis hasnt backed down with their assertion that this guy was one of theirs. AND there was clear indications that there was supposed to be a team involved or that he was dealing weapons since no one person could realisticallly use that many ARs to do what he did the way he did it.

The point is nothing points to anything with how little information we have, nevermind any 'closeted' speculation about his character.

But i dont think A 2nd amendment guy wouldnt do this if he wanted to kill a lot of peolle, hed use a bomb or a truck.

Fourth, the suicide, the photo can't be of his suicide. In order for that blood flow, someone would've had to have jammed a gun in his throat.

Now let's think about what went on in the hotel room. We've established that one guy couldn't have done this, that there were multiple shooters. He shot at Jesus Campos, a man the MSM claims is a security guard, yet isn't on the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board, and has very little record otherwise. The FBI has been known to carry out fake terrorist attacks and false flags are nothing new for the United States government. It's possible that the FBI or some other spook agency carried out the attack and used Paddock, the perfect fall guy, to take the blame. Various records of his are already wiped, indicating that someone else must've done it. No one as happy and wealthy as Stephen Paddock would've done that.


Stephen Paddock was used as the fall guy by the FBI in a false flag operation.

Telling you he was a Patsy. He was running guns for some three letter agency as an informant like fast and furious. They set him up as a patsy so he would buy the guns and drag them up to the room. The "buyer" showed up, shot him in the head, and did the mass shooting probably for the purposes that John user outlined.

Alot of disinformation spooks bored 2night I see.

This may be true, and I'm open to that idea, unfortunately, it seems like a lot of baseless conjecture, my theory above was cut out of that one via Occam's Razor.

>Fact: We havent confirmed that he fired any weapons on said date.
>Fact: We havent confirmed that he was alone in the rooms.
>Fact: The story keeps changing, so there is yet to be any offical story.
>Fact: There are conflicting stories by witnessess and "officials"
>Fact: We have yet to confirm a motive.
>Fact: Until they can prove any of my "conspiracy theories" to be inaccurate, my story remains possible.
>my story: he wasnt alone, he did not fire the weapons, the killer (s) is are still at large, the "officials" are afraid of telling us the truth of what they know.
Rate me OP, you massive cock addict.

AntiFa has made much of the forthcoming Nov. 4th "Revolution". Paddock was an FBI informant. They tasked him to collect intel on them by posing as a left-wing arms merchant. THAT is why he had 23 guns up there. The deal went bad, either because of circumstances just that night or, more likely, because AntiFa had somehow surmised Paddock's undercover role. The risk to the FBI is now that it looks to some outside observers that THEY orchestrated this mass killing, instead of simply infiltrating left-wing groups. Basically this is Oklahoma City all over again, but the left-wing version.

This is the AntiFa Fast & Furious.

What's the best way to mask the sound of a gunshot?

Many gunshots. Look for the gun they didn't find

sounds like bad fiction

Left wing tard that believe he would leave the city and gun issues in chaos while he retired abroad. Life came easy for him with lots of money fueling his ego and delusion. He wanted to further his cause, punish those against, and retire away forever while the world tried to figure out what happened.

Voted gayest story soo far.

Im staying the night at the luxor. I got a perfect view of the festival grounds from my room. Will keep you guys posted what I learn.

>The point is nothing points to anything
Bingo. So why try to bring politics into it? All signs point to him simply being crazy, but people can't seem to accept that as the answer.

It was the massacre that saved vegas...

everything his brother said about him makes me think he worked for the mob.
Some people go to work and sit in front of a computer. He went to work and sat in front of a video poker machine. Played about a million dollars per night. The casinos wouldn't be comping him for all that free shit if he was steadily making money off them, yet that's what they all say, he steadily made money playing video poker.

How it was clearly conspiracy

2nd this

>smart rich guy makes his life abundant as well as his family, suddenly becomes dumb as fuck

the fiction is ridiculous

moron

Why the hell would a government sponsored black ops arm dealer buy his guns at a fucking Cabellas? Dumbest plot hole ever

Fuck hardmode, there are no rock solid facts either way at this point, besides the bodies.

I believe he was a gun runner who laundered money through casinos. Likely a nasty psychopathic fucker. Probably had a deal go south, so he decided to shoot up a bunch of people for kicks and go out on his own terms rather than be tortured to death by some cartel.

The fact his house was robbed while being investigated by the FBI strengthens my belief in this theory, as it would be likely the cartels would scrub any evidence of their activities with him before the feds had a chance to find the connection.

It's also possible that the feds had been watching him to gain intel on these criminal rings and didn't involve themselves before this happened, which is why the entire ordeal is a complete media circus with a constantly changing narrative. They don't want to be the ones getting blamed. This would make sense because they've already done exactly this before with fast and furious.

Crazy doesn't explain a guy with a net worth of 2 mil gambling 100k an hour at video poker (rigged game) for 20+ years. That's the biggest part of the official narrative that doesn't make sense. It lines up perfectly with gun running and money laundering though.

>"people cant accept that as the answer"
Suddenly youre the expert on what people can and cannot accept?
You realize the federal gov has yet to really put the pieces together effectively enough to have some idea of what happened?
How about people like you shut the fuck up and quit LARPing as a sociologist and expert on how the nations demographics digest information?

Why not? It's far more low key than any other way you could go about obtaining a bunch of guns.

good point, even fucking rain man couldn't win and become rich from video poker
