His action was not impulsive. He planned the massacre for a long time. This alone indicates a strong psychopathology.

There doesn't seem to have been a precipitating event. Also, his autopsy did not reveal a causative physical problem. This supports a conclusion that Paddock was a narcissistic psychopath.

Some are calling him a cowardly psychopath and that is confirmed by his action as well. He couldn't confront anyone he was familiar with so he killed complete strangers. He even sent his girl friend far away because he didn't want her to know about the massacre until it was over and he was dead.

Dude was a cowardly piece of shite.

Let's think about this. Fourteen hour daily sessions playing video poker for weeks at a time. Didn't want to play the poker tables because he didn't want to interact with people. It was reported occasionally the guy would stop from his video poker to stare menacingly at people around him. Just stare. The guy was insane.

There's the evil of gambling.

Gambling + Insanity = Disaster. Instead of killing himself he killed others.

From the interviews with the woman that worked for him and casual observations by other people he likely suffered from a mild mental disorder. He did well in real estate, and ended up with a one time payout that gave him a substantial nest egg which he probably intended to last the rest of his life.He had always been a compulsive gambler and lived large, up until he got out of real estate he had the income to support his habit, now that gone and he burned through the retirement nest egg at a fast pace. Facing the end of his money that took a lifetime to accumulate, no way to recoup it, coupled with mild mental illness he decides to end his life in a way that will put his name in the history books.

Sounds very plausible. Still don’t know why all the guns though. Two, maybe three, with many loaded mags would have same impact.

There's a poster on this board that continues to post the same study over and over again about the mental disorders of you conspiracy kooks.

I noticed you didn't post a theory. Odd.

Oh...and a conspiracy theorist is someone who sees conspiracy in everything. Like you. You think if people don't think earthquakes are government created that they buy the official story of every event 100 percent all of the time. There is no in between for someone with your particular mental challenges.

Oh...and I rotate between about five studies when I post them. It's pretty much a scientific consensus that you are mentally ill. It can change though, man. Just go talk to someone.

Why couldn't his theory be speculation instead of a conspiracy? When minimal information has been released, of course people are going to speculate. He doesn't know it to be true, he just postulates that it could be true.

Or you are unable to form a cogent opinion and thrive on criticism of others. You don't have the capacity to form your own thoughts. You went way out on that limb once and claimed it was. Obvious the elites were putting Hillary in place. What an embarrassment. The one and only time you make a claim before the fact...and you were dead wrong. Much safer to wait and criticize others. I get it.

Mentally unstable and probably switched medications recently. Plus he really hated Jason Aldean like most people with any sense of taste in music.

First time on the poliboard?

That's not how things work around here, certainly not with Bondsie.

See, on this board, you aren't allowed to have opinions that differ from what the establishment puts forth through the media as truth. Anyone who strays from the herd on this board is a conspiracy kook.

See how that works?

Yeah, 13 years of following behind the prevailing thoughts and beliefs of the poliboard have given me away.

You can't possibly be this stupid.

You are a sheep. You just follow a different herder. Your criticisms are not special. There are enough people who take comfort in some sort of order being required that scientific studies could be conducted. You need the order and follow the same line of thinking as the others with your mental illness.


Look at this thread. I point out there is no In Between for you. If someone doesn't believe everything is a conspiracy than to you they must believe the official story 100 percent of the time.

I say that and two posts later you are tellling another poster "on this board you aren't allowed to have opinions that differ from what the establishment puts forth"

You prove my point. Get help, man.


Or you can prove me wrong. Post one of your original thoughts here for us all to see.

Thanks for making my point. Follow the herd or you are considered mentally ill. I know the poliboard mantra. I don't need you to explain it to me every time I make a post.

I did. You posted an outlandish conspiracy theory that had I posted, you would have whipped out your trusty TLDR study on mental illness.

Keep being you Bondsie. I am entertained.

You managed to respond (in your normal non-committal way) to the vast majority of my post. You missed this part, though:
