I think this is part of this bastard’s plan - to do this without leaving any reasons for having done it. Like it makes him some kind of special mass murderer, at least in his diseased brain.
“Authorities say they still don’t have a clear motive for the Las Vegas shooting rampage.”
How about: To kill as many people as possible.
I’m pretty sure that was it.
Why haven’t they autopsied this guy? Charles Whitman had a brain tumor that may have contributed to his bad behavior. Seems to me it’d be wise and proper to determine whether Paddock had any brain abnormalities.
If they never really find a clear motive, tumor, affiliation with a terrorist group… etc - Does that mean that there is simply too much easy access to firearms and ammunition? Should we start thinking about curtailing the number of guns people can buy/possess? Is it still too soon?
Whatever your motive, the NRA and its lackeys are delighted to make your path to mass murder as smooth and carefree as possible.
I wish they would, too. Brain injuries don’t get enough attention in discussions of criminality.
The motive was simple: Why buy all those weapons and not use them? His motive was to put his guns to their highest and best use. Period.
Not too soon. We should be having a serious discussion about repealing or at least significantly amending the Second Amendment.
A real billionaire steps up.
" Every day, 93 Americans are killed by gun violence."
“Americans are 25 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than people in other developed countries,”
No big mystery. He was a gun lover acting out his fantasies. Take a look at the gun enthusiast magazines some time.
STILL no motive? After FIVE whole days? What is the world coming to!
We made smoking tobacco uncool, the same sea change can be done with firearms.
Bored rich white Republican males see the middle class as necessary collateral damage…some more literally than others. Gambling, dominating sex, and drugs only satisfy them to a point. Blood sport in which they are the predators and everyone else are the prey consumes their existence at some point.
Police should be examining The Calm Before the Storm as should the UN General Assembly.
Not as long as there are victors and victims in gun sports. This is not about pleasure anymore than rape is. These mass murderers love the rush they get from the hunt and the ultimate hurt they cause. Really sick people just like all war mongers.
Tobacco is just a drug.
Here`s an idea - get a priest in to raise Paddock from the dead and then ask Paddock why he did it .
After all , Priests exorcise people , so they should be able to do this .
The police say they looked at Paddock’s political affiliations/activities. Well, what did they find? Did I miss that report? Was he registered to vote? Had he voted? Had he made political contributions? Had he attended any rallies? I am making no assumptiins, but I would like to know.
Thank you.
What “authorities” are actually looking for is an excuse
There is a very clear motive!
The creature may have had a hundred rationalizations and excuses, but it comes down to this fact: the man was a killer, a murderer.
It also sounds like he planned to get away, to go on another killing spree or two.
