Stephen Paddock, a retired accountant, one time postman and millionaire decided to take people with him when he went. He killed 58 people and wounded another 500 plus in the course of ten minutes on 2 October 2017. Why did he do it? His two divorces were sorted out so why? One answer, Pat Buchanan's answer is a bid for fame. It worked well.
This piece of news, a record breaking massacre has served the purposes of the Main Stream Media by distracting us from the serious problems that politicians have inflicted on us, the stream of murders, rapes, burglaries etc. committed by Illegal Immigrants & Third World parasites generally. It gave them an excuse to write a lot of ill informed nonsense as well as the anti-gun lies. The Propaganda machines want us disarmed; they hate the Armed Citizen, the man who can defend himself against the servants of the New World Order.

Las Vegas Gunman Kills 58 & Wounds 515
[ 2 October 2017 ] Headliner Jason Aldean was in the middle of
his set just after 10pm when a rumble of gunfire rang out, the sounds of
screams and stampeding humans cutting through the country music. Police were
able to pinpoint Paddock relatively quickly since the gunfire he emitted
triggered the smoke alarms in the hotel. They used explosives to blow the
door off his room, but by then it was too late - Paddock had shot himself
dead............ ISIS claimed
responsibility for the attack [ It lied - Editor ].
American With
Divorce Problem Takes 58 Dead With Him
[ 4 October 2017 ] I had thought by last night we would know more about
Stephen Craig
Paddock. By now the usual social-media non-paper trail and petty-crime
police records and mental-health issues have emerged. Instead, nothing has -
except some bizarrely distinctive details: He wasn't a loner, but lived with
his girlfriend - an Australian citizen currently in Japan, but planning to
return to the US today. He was not the usual loser, but a multi-millionaire.
He had no apparent interest in guns and no military training, but he
demonstrated remarkably lethal proficiency, either with semi-automatics he
modified or with a genuine automatic he somehow acquired, a weapon that has
been used in precisely three crimes in America since 1934. He didn't "snap",
but instead calmly planned his act, identifying and securing the perfect
corner suite in a massive hotel and then discreetly moving in dozens of
weapons over four days and constructing platforms in front of those two
windows................ As I said on stage at the Guthrie Theatre, I had intended to talk about
other matters - about the weekend's latest "vehicle
attack" in Edmonton, Alberta, by a Somali immigrant (with an Isis flag
on the seat of his car), who stabbed one policeman and ran over four people
at Commonwealth Stadium; and about the two young women fatally stabbed (one
with her throat slit) at the main rail station in Marseilles, by an illegal
immigrant from the Maghreb [ see
French Army Kill Islamic Murderer In Marseille ];
and the seventeen-year-old from the
northern Caucasus who's just gone on trial in Oslo after being found
with a bomb the day after the Stockholm jihad-motorist struck. But all these
events, by fiercely committed ideologues in multiple jurisdictions in
service of a global civilizational struggle, were all but forgotten,
banished to the in-brief sidebars at the foot of page 37 by one apparently
non-ideological American retiree who, unlike the aforementioned, was
extremely good at killing large numbers of people.......... We have been, for the most part, very lucky. The foot-soldiers of the
jihad are mostly dimwit Mohammedans: they have youth and energy and
ideological fervor, but they are also largely stupid and unimaginative. The
old guys are less energetic, but also less stupid: if Isis were right and
there really were Islamic Stephen Paddocks - 40-50-60-somethings, worldly
and full of low cunning - things would be very different...
Piers Morgan Says Guns Should Be Banned After Las Vegas Massacre
[ 4 October 2017 ]
The Dead Soul of Stephen Paddock Why did Stephen Paddock, 64, rent rooms
at the Mandalay Bay hotel, sneak in an arsenal of guns, a dozen of them
converted to fully automatic, and rain down death on a country music concert? “We will never know,” writes columnist Eugene Robinson. “There can be no rational argument for mass murder … nothing can really
explain the decision to spray thousands of concert-goers with automatic weapons
fire, killing at least 59 and injuring hundreds more.” But while there can be no justification for mass murder, there is an
explanation. And like Edgar Allan Poe’s “Purloined Letter,” it is right there in
front of us, in plain sight. Having chosen to end his life, Paddock resolved to go out in a blaze of
publicity. This nobody would leave this life as somebody we would have to
remember. He would immortalize himself, as did Lee Harvey Oswald. Reportedly, Paddock even filmed himself during his massacre. Ex-Marine sniper Charles Whitman, who murdered his wife and mother, and then
climbed up into the Texas University Tower in Austin, 50 years ago, to shoot
down 46 people and kill 15, is the prototype. Whitman’s slaughter ended after 96 minutes when a cop climbed up in that
tower and shot him. Yet, half a century on, Whitman remains famous. Many of us
can yet recall his name and face. Like Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold before Columbine, and Dylan Roof before
his sickening atrocity at the black church in Charleston, Paddock wanted to live
on as one of the great mass murderers in U.S. history. And he has succeeded. We
are today paying him in the currency he craved. He is famous, and we have made
him so. Monday, the president spoke at the White House on the “act of pure evil”
Paddock perpetrated Sunday night. Network and cable TV anchors and
correspondents stampeded to Las Vegas to dig into his background and motivation. Commentators discoursed on the meaning of it all. Congress is aflame with
demands for gun laws against “bump stocks” that turn semiautomatic AR-15s and
AK-47s to fully automatic. Paddock’s deeds pushed Puerto Rico and North Korea
out of the headlines. By Wednesday, Trump himself was in Vegas. Five days later,
police and FBI are still searching for the “motive.” Whatever caused Paddock to conclude that ending his life was preferable to
living it is not the crucial question. Suicides are not uncommon in America.
About 3 of every 4 are carried out by white males; 121 are committed daily, with
gunshot a common method. The real question is what turned Paddock into a
psychopath without conscience or a moral code that would scream to him that
what he was planning was pure evil. Unlike ISIS terrorists who believe they are soldiers of Islam doing the will
of Allah, and will achieve paradise for slaughtering infidels, Stephen Paddock
did not believe anything like this. He coolly and patiently plotted mass murder almost for sport. He rented a
hotel suite with windows overlooking a coming country music concert, his
fighting fort. He ferried in, over five days, half his home arsenal of 40-some
guns, with the semi-automatic assault rifles modified to fire fully automatic.
He installed cameras to alert him to when police were about to break in and kill
him. Then he smashed the windows on his 32nd floor suite, and began firing for
12 minutes. Paddock murdered 59 people he did not know and against whom he had no
grievance. How did he come to be a man who treated fellow humans as vermin? And
does this say something about our civilization? In “The Brothers Karamazov,” novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky has his character
Ivan say, “If God is dead, all things are permissible.” What Ivan meant is that if God does not exist, the idea of God’s law, of
heaven or hell as reward or punishment, is nonsense. And if it is, there is no
man-made law that can deter men who have decided to “end it all.” Consider. Nevada has a death penalty for the mass murder Paddock was
preparing to commit. But as he had already decided to end his life after
shooting scores of innocent people, no death penalty or any other threatened
state punishment could deter him. Why not carry out his atrocity and end his life knowing that, within days,
all of America would know who Stephen Paddock was? In Shakespeare, Hamlet declares, “Conscience doth make cowards of us all.”
And so, fearing damnation, Hamlet recoils from ending his life or exacting
revenge on the king he believes seduced his mother into complicity in the murder
of his father. In Stephen Paddock, the conscience was dead. He was a dead soul, a moral
nihilist, a post-Christian man in a post-Christian age, a monster. Yet, we are going to see more such men, for we no longer have a convincing
answer to that oldest of questions, “Why not?”

Paddock's Brother Threatens To Murder People & Liked Pornography [
Stephen Paddock ex Wiki Paddock lived in
Mesquite, Nevada. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound thus
ending the shooting attack. The incident surpassed the
2016 Orlando nightclub shooting as the deadliest mass shooting by a
lone gunman in U.S. history, with at least 59 fatalities (including
Paddock) and 489 injured.[8] Paddock was born in
Iowa.[9]
He grew up in
Tucson, Arizona, and
Sun Valley, California,[7]
as one of four sons of
Benjamin Hoskins Paddock. The elder Paddock was a convicted bank robber
who escaped prison in 1969[7]
and subsequently had his name added to the
FBI's most-wanted list.[10]
Stephen was 15 years old at the time.[10]
According to his brother, they never really knew their father as he was
never with their mother.[11] Stephen Paddock graduated from
John H. Francis Polytechnic High School in 1971,[12]
and from
California State University, Northridge in 1977, with a degree in
business administration.[13] Paddock worked for the Federal government from about 1975 to 1985.[14]
He was a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in 1976–1978.[14]
He worked for six years as an IRS agent, until 1984.[14]
He was a federal auditor for one year, in 1985, focusing on defense
contractors.[14]
Towards the end of the 1980s, he worked for three years as an internal
auditor for a company that later merged to form
Lockheed Martin.[14]
Paddock's work career after this period is not clear. However, it is known
he lived in the Los Angeles area and owned personal property in areas
including
Panorama City,
Cerritos and
North Hollywood, from the 1970s to early 2000s.[14][15]
He owned rental properties around the country, including two run-down
apartment buildings in the working-class neighborhood of
Hawthorne, California.[15]
He owned an apartment complex in the Dallas suburb of
Mesquite, which he sold in 2012.[15]
Relatives said Paddock was worth at least $2 million.[16] According to court records, Paddock was married and divorced twice; first
from 1977 to 1979, and for the second time from 1985 to 1990, both marriages
in
Los Angeles County, California.[5]
From 2013 to 2015, Paddock lived in a
retirement community in
Melbourne, Florida.[5] Paddock previously lived in Texas and in California.[17][7]
In 2010, Paddock applied for and received a U.S. passport.[18]
He lived in a number of retirement communities. In 2016 he moved 2,400 miles
(3,900 km) west across the country from Melbourne,
Florida,[5]
to a new retiree home in
Mesquite, Nevada,[19]
about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.[5]
According to property records, he bought a single-family home there in 2013.[17]
For several years, he lived with his girlfriend in a retirement community in
Reno, Nevada in addition to his home in Mesquite.[17] An Australian acquaintance and boyfriend of Paddock's girlfriend's
sister, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he met Paddock in the
United States and the Philippines. He described Paddock as intelligent and
methodical. He alleged Paddock won a lot of money applying
algorithms to gambling on machines (not on tables), and that he studied
gun laws. The anonymous acquaintance considered Paddock a generous man
whenever he and his girlfriend visited him.[20]
The Mesquite
Starbucks

Mr Paddock seems to have been a normal White Man,
albeit his girl friend is a Filipina or some such. The anti-gun lobby will
be on this one like flies on the proverbial. They will duly ignore the fact that
the
Number of murders in America is around 15,000 a year. They will
resolutely deny that most of them are perpetrated by
Blacks. See an analysis, which predates this massacre,
Who Commits Murder In America?. The answer is circa seven or eight out
of ten blacks. Hispanics get around two more. White people are responsible for a
modest 5 percent or so - see e.g.
