Las Vegas Shooting

So what does that mean? He was taking Ritalin or Adderall, sleep aids like Ambien or Lunesta? Or was he a full blown Prozac, Xanax user?

I don't know, besides having prescribed valium and I don't know what drugs fall under the "psychotropic" category.

Does not matter what medications he was on. Media always tries to 'justify' actions with some type of reason or another. Sometimes evil occurs for no particular reason at all.

That wasn't the issue brought up in the video. watch the vid

Vallium is in the same class of drugs as xanax.
Used treat anxiety and insomnia.
His GF is telling the FBI that he was crying and screaming during sleep.


Pete Williams, NBC news, is reporting now that a mobile device charger was found in his room that doesn't fit any of his devices.
Also, records show that someone used his code to operate. the parking gates where his car was parked during a time when door lock records indicate he was believed to be inside the hotel room.

The paper 'note' on the table was a series of numbers. ???
Lotto numbers? Account numbers? Coordinates? ????

I know they gave my grandfather Valium when he was in the hospital once. He threatened the staff with physical harm after his first dose. It was totally, completely and utterly not his character. The next day he was more embarrassed than he'd ever been in his life. They told him "it happens, don't think anything about it". They knew immediately what it was as he'd been there a few days and knew that wasn't him.

I read the wiki...

Its not generally recommended for the elderly.
Old folks dont metabolise it as well and it stays at high levels for longer before being metabolized in the liver.


About that mystery woman....

The casinos keep their most active gamblers happy with complimentary drinks, rooms, and food.
That was the case here.
MB was providing the room for free.

Now, SOME of the casinos have been known to make prostitutes available as well and Paddock had previously taken advantage of the services of some of those poor unfortunate girls.
I would bet a dollar to someone else's quarter that is the case here.

Neither the casino or the woman is eager to speak up.
Mandalay Bay is already facing numerous lawsuits as it is.

I can see unbreakable glass now being required on those high rise hotels

That stuff is not easily broken as it is. Anything can be broken with the right preparation, and it appears plenty of prep work was put into this.

The psychotropic drug theory is one of the more viable ones I have heard. According to this line of thinking he may have been on a drug that made him feel "detached" and not able to experience emotion. Couple this with the likelihood that something in his makeup craved excitement....as evidenced by airplanes and gambling.

Watch the interview with his brother - the brother's behavior is not what a normal person would exhibit in this situation - instead he seems to crave the spotlight. Likewise his father was a bank robber - another defective personality who craved excitement.

He became unable to get the excitement he needed, felt detached and over the course of time somehow decided a mass killing would let him feel something.

You a nut job with that kind of money could have easily bought a high end drone or two and dropped serious explosives into the crowd then drones would be outlawed. Any nut job can attack a crowd , using trucks, bombs , firearms, etc..... if you ban one thing they will devise another method.

Yet, you're onboard with banning the bump fire stocks.

Even though I'm not wealthy, I could kill and injure way more than 500 people without a firearm or drone, but I'm not batshit crazy. How about we just ban batshit crazy and leave our enumerated rights intact?

Very interesting video. Fast forward to about 3:05 then listen when it gets to 3:11. It sounds just like a single rifle firing precision shots. Not bumpfiring like was fixing to happen. I haven’t heard anything about this. And the crowd started leaving in a hurry after those first shots. And he guy filming says “what is going on”. Very interesting. Why would the gunman waste time taking precision shots when he was trying to kill as many as possible?
