Stephen Paddock

Dont know, but putting millions of people in prison for anything you are offended by is not the answer. America proves that. Maybe try lifting people up, not keep them underpaid and oppressed. Create a better environment for them. But then if you fix people's problems they dont need populist movements and politics of grievance. All your right wing divisive politicians will become totally irrelevant.

Fun fact Tigg, if you could execute or imprison your way out of your crime problems the Us with the biggest prison population on the planet and a country that executes would have the lowest crime rate of western countries rather than one of the highest.

Fun fact, they released the nut job from prison to only go on another terrorism spree

Fun fact, he is DEAD now

Another terrorism related event in London.   At least they killed the bastard.   Out of jail after serving half his sentence for terror related crimes.  Cant say he was a muslim but his name sort of gives him away.    He wont be doing any more stuff, and Boris is looking at changing the rules for terror related crimes.  

What he did was an act of domestic terrorism. In Trump world terrorists are Arabs(but not from SA or UAE) or Mexican.

And you wont hear a motive while Trump is President and his puppy Barr is Attorney General.

Just decided to look up the latest on this nutjob. Still no confirmed motive apparently. I do find it slightly amusing that his "nearly 1.4million estate" does not seem to cop more scrutiny as to why he may have done it. I mean its not much for a bloke living the high life in Vegas - esp when the majority of it was tied up in 2 pieces of real estate. He would have had next to no cash - so i think his extravagant lifestyle was very quickly coming to an end. The casino comps would be nearing an end as part of that - you are only as good as your current bank account in that town. So as i thought this bloke was not a successful gambler as was being touted at the time - he was a typical cash cow addicted punter who was doing his arse. Maybe the motive was as simple as that - not that the Casinos would ever let that idea gain any traction. Not good for business.

but powerful lobby groups corrupt the investigation and wont let the truth out.

you sound like a conspiracy theorist which you were quick to label everyone else in here as one, who were suspect on the whole thing and the way it was being handled.


but youve come around. better late than never.

I see the FBI has set itself the goal of issuing a report on Steve's rampage, and the motives behind it.....by next October !

The motives will never be unravelled, imo, when you start trying to rationalize the irrational, it never ends with a satisfactory result. I can't imagine why the "how" of his deeds will take till next October to figure out, that should already be a mature investigation, the "why" can't realistically be expected to ever crystallize, if it hasn't already, either. In my opinion, of course.

It is all supposition, at this stage. I can accept the casino industry wants to distance his gambling habits fromn what happened, and even that the wider authorities would be complicit in wanting to do that, but what the real situation was, we may never know.
