Active shooter in Las Vegas

[hongkonger]

Based on clues I'm gathering, I suspect he sold his house and tried to become a professional gambler with his outrage growing as he failed, his losses mounted, & his life savings shrank.

His ego couldn't handle the crushing reality of his retirement savings disappearing, and this awful shooting is the end result of his angry ego-driven despair.

-150 on this narrative

You might be onto something here.

It is now reported that he made "several large gambling transactions in the tens of thousands" in the last few weeks. While these exact transactions were not disclosed, nor were his results, I feel there's a good chance he lost and it made him snap.

So I'm backing away from the left-wing fanatic theory from earlier, and I'm going with "Busto gambler who felt like he lost everything and wanted to take lots of others out before offing himself."

He does not have any hendonmob results, so he likely didn't play tournament poker.

He did brag at one point to have won $20,000 gambling online, but I'm now wondering if he was just a -EV casino game donk, and yet somehow imagined himself a professional gambler.

You're backing away from a theory based on pure speculation and baseless assumptions? No way.

The last left-wing nut who killed anyone in America was the Unabomber, and he was arrested over 2 decades ago.

the thing that i find odd is the amount of guns found in his hotel room

i first heard it was 16, then 21, or 23

if it was really just one person i don't understand having more than 4 or 5

he had set up two different firing positions, and firing full auto will overheat the barrels quick

but it would be MUCH easier to smuggle in dozens of fully loaded magazines to reload your 4 or 5 rifles (and then maybe a handgun to hel's yourself when the jig is up)

why would one guy need to risk smuggling in twenty something guns???

doesn't make sense - a lot of this doesn't make any fucking sense (obv)

So this old is still the suspect lol I just cant...

Druff you could have probably prevented a tragedy if this guy would have only read your Total Rewards thread.

yes use this a guideline everybody: http://www.vpfree2.com/

I'm not going to pretend that I know Alan Jackson's life but l picture him already almost finished with country tear jerkers about all the brave folks that died that died on 10/1

This one was close enough, and it happened in 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_C...eball_shooting

Is it cool if I call this one 10/1?

Or do you guys feel more people have to die to get 9/11 status and this one should just be called the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooting?

[TheXFactor]

Stephen Paddock was more than a gun fanatic, he had explosives in his house and bomb making materials in his car.

There is an ISIS/Al Qaeda terrorist group in the Philippines, Abu Sayyaf militants that make their living off kidnapping. Did his girlfriend support these guys?

Even though federal officials claim there is no link to terrorism , they have not analyzed all his computers and electronic devices yet to determine if he was in contact with a known terrorist or maybe there were other people involved.

What happened inside Las Vegas shooter's Mandalay Bay Hotel room

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/03/us/man...now/index.html

Stephen Paddock stayed in room 32135.
The concert was about 400 yards away across the street.

It took security over an hour to find him after he started shooting.

Who wants to walk out in the middle of the street on the Las Vegas strip this New Year's?

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

How many of the victims were shot to death and how many trampled to death? I can't find that anywhere?

I wonder if this "someone" was "Bovada"

Probably not Bovada.

I think they ended their Western Union thing awhile ago.

Stopped working when WU was blacklisting people.

His "girlfriend" is from the Philippines.


I don't care what his motive was - NO ONE SHOULD OWN THAT MANY WEAPONS.

QED.

[adamantium]

fucking amature hour, Anders Breivik got it done with a single semi ruger mini 14

[adamantium]

obv its impossible to stop wackjobs like this, but come on man, high powered semi auto rifles has no business outside military.

When I served in Bosnia (UN) we never selected full auto fireing and this was wartime, why the fuck would joesmo need the same weapon protecting his house

[GringoStar]

I could make a bomb out of legal fireworks that would make a grenade look like a firecracker. Should be ban fireworks?

I don't really have a stance on gun control, but this logic is retarded.



This guy built a nuclear reactor in his shed with elements (americium and thorium) sourced from smoke detectors and lanterns. Those sores on his face are from radiation exposure.

You can make mustard gas at home with standard cleaning products.

Obviously there's no need to ban smoke detectors or Clorox, but that doesn't mean it's therefore fine to stock chemical and nuclear weapons at Walmart just because they're comprised of legal components, nor does it mean that banning the sale of said weapons would somehow be a "slippery slope".

I'm missing the correlation between the retard trying to make a reactor and the ease of making a strong bomb out of easily obtained materials. And merely rabbit-earring "slippery slope" does not deny my argument.

And again. The weapon he used is already banned. Would you like to double-ban it? What is being proposed exactly and why weren't you posting about banning already banned weapons before this event took place?

druff please limit larrie to one account

only the fact that he made his gun automatic was banned. he could have done just as much (or nearly as much damage) if he left it semi-automatic. (see the 100 people shot at pulse night club for example)

[blake]

blows my mind you are so deluded about ur country and guns you take my sarcasm as a show of support.

people like you and others in this thread like gordo and naturalbornhustler is exactly what is wrong with your gun ownership protocols. white socially awkward morons and loners, who a large percentage of the general population would describe as a weirdo if they ever had the unfortunate displeasure of having to interact with you in some way. yet you have no criminal record or diagnosed mental disorders so you can stockpile weapons at will.

Sorry, I thought maybe you were one of the few sensible people from a gun control country who realizes that there's no way your laws would work here.

I can even get on board with outlawing high-powered weaponry, due to the high risk in situations like these, but disarming America at this point would be a disaster, as the firearms would be left only in the hands of the criminals.

glad to hear you're sane. why didn't you say this from the start? your earlier posts implied you had the exact opposite position

If it's just the bump-stocks then they are perfectly legal to buy and use.

In this case unmodified semi-automatics would have done significantly less damage. He was basically shooting fish in barrel so his only limitation was rate of fire. Though as Adamantium said it's usually not practical to use "automatic" fire with assault rifles in most situations.

i agree there would have been less damage, but again, look at other mass casualty situstions like pulse night club and you see that you can still shoot a ton of people pretty easily

Obv. I'm not saying that civilians should be allowed to own AR-15esque weapons because they can only cause limited carnage. For civilian use that limitation isn't enough.

I have no idea what you can possible gain by letting the civilian population carry something like AR-15. How often are you in a position where you need to gat down 20-30 vermins at a single go? That's literally the only scenario that's not better served by a shotgun, lever-action/bolt-action-rifle or a handgun.
