Stephen Paddock

Paddock allegedly had surveillance cameras linked to a laptop, yet it is claimed he removed the hard drive from it after the mayhem started. It was nowhere to be found. He could have tossed it out the smashed window, but why was it not found ?

I reckon she is too, Macca .  He couldnt have all those weapons in a room at the house, and her not know about it.  If my OH was stock piling guns, or anything for that matter, no way would he be able to hide them from me in the house we both live in. I think most other wives/girlfriends here would agree with that ?? And surely she would have some idea if he was doing his ass on the tables ?  No woman could be as dumb as she is making out she is,,,,could they ??

Understand you and AA, PT.        Paranoia is a difficult state of mind to detect.   > Noted for the barrier of camouflage that exists in serious cases.
   Whatever the real story is, he certainly put it into operation with expertise.
Such people are known for the fact " They don't talk ".    3 ears and no mouth is not helpful to Policing.

plain suspicion, or brain storming for possible motives isnt a conspiracy theory.

Gee here's a surprise. Investigators are now saying that Paddock had lost a "significant" amount of money since 2015....that he feared losing his status as a high roller....& that it caused him to have bouts of depression...& that is likely to be a "strong" motivating factor for the massacre. Wow...& its only taken a few months to come up with this startling revelation. Wouldn't you love to get the Casino managements side of the story...you know....how they tried to "help" him with his issues !

I would not go as far as saying that Max . However, I doubt he would have carried out such a mission if he had not been enticed/ facilitated into the high roller Casino honey pot !

That comment surprises me Max. Seen many a losing punter take it out on others - partners, kids, service provider. Add a bit of grog/ drugs & you have the perfect storm

There a number of reasons why Sydney Casino has the highest violence statistics of any major venue. One of these is a lot of people doing their arse in the one spot !

Yep

Am only saying what has been recently reported Max. Am yet to hear a better reasoning ?

He was obviously a psych case. No question about it, I don't think it a co-incidence that his sociopathic father was on the FBI 10 most wanted list years ago.

Well they sort of are Max. They are saying he lost "a significant" amount of money since 2015. I don't think the bloke was a squillionare - it has been reported he made multiple millions a number of times in real estate....certainly not Kerry Packer type figures . To even be a low level high roller (that's what's being now claimed) for 2 to 3 years you need a lot of loot in Vegas. So I reckon the writing was on the wall for the bloke. He loved the status...& he knew it was all coming to an end. All of this is not a great look for Vegas....& I think he knew that would be the case. That last bit are just my thoughts.

I mean the starting point was he was a successful professional gambler that played VIDEO POKER MACHINES 16 hrs a day

Point me to a precedent, of a gambler going berserk and committing mass murder, because of gambling.
