Paddock acted alone, left no suicide note or manifesto, and police found no evidence that he belonged to or supported any hate group or terrorist organization, domestic or foreign. He had no criminal record, and financially, he was indebted to no one, the investigation found.

Translation: Just another law abiding guy with a gun.

Worst shooting in history: Just an everyman.

The investigation did identify what it called “indicators of intent,” most of which authorities had previously reported.

Those indicators included a room Paddock rented but never checked into in August 2017 that overlooked Lollapalooza, an open-air music festival held in downtown Chicago’s Grant Park.

Police also pointed to three different rooms Paddock rented in September overlooking the Life is Beautiful festival in downtown Las Vegas. He stayed in those rooms, and surveillance footage captured him carrying several suitcases to each of them during his stay, similar to what he did at Mandalay Bay.
Not much there either. Not really. No warning signs worth considering at all. It's not like carrying suitcases into a hotel is suspicious.

What's your point?

Just your average everyday white male?
 
Re: Vegas Shooter Report is In

If buying a lot of guns and ammo was flagged, that would have helped.

How? What could the government have done to someone that's a everyman?

watch him or (heaven forbid) have a law that bans you from buying a ****ing arsenal.
 
Re: Vegas Shooter Report is In

Many serial killers are the "everyday man" too. You'd never suspect they were the one. Reminds me of the BTK serial killer.
 
Re: Vegas Shooter Report is In

People don't need weapons 1/10th that powerful


We should get them off the streets

Ya
See how dangerous they re

"What those initial Mother Jones numbers showed, though, was that white people weren’t overrepresented among mass shooters. The media outlet had found that roughly 70 percent of the shooters in mass killings were white—certainly a majority. But according to Census Bureau estimates for 2012, whites accounted for 73.9 percent of all Americans. (Keep in mind that the definition of whiteness is both vague and forever changing. In the 2010 census, the “white” category includes those whose families originate in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Mother Jones, for its part, categorizes one Moroccan immigrant killer as “white”; leaves the race field blank for a Turkish immigrant; and describes several shooters of Pakistani, Palestinian, Afghan and Kuwaiti extraction as “other.”)"


What the white mass-shooter myth gets right and wrong about killers’ demographics.

Green River guy in Wa State. Just a factory worker, painted trucks at the Kenilworth plant.. They even found paint specs on some of the victims. Now sure how they got him...oh yeah, DNA.

How many firearms does it take to have an arsenal? How much ammo counts as an arsenal? How many firearms did he actually use in the shooting? How many firearms does the typical mass shooter use in their crime?

How many firearms should any one person be allowed to own, and where would the government get the power to enforce that?

1/10 as powerful as what? How would you measure that power?


Constitution be damned, eh?

It is sure scary when given as much time as they need and all the resources they can use our geniuses cant give us any insight into why this happened. I said at the front that this was motivated by a desire to go out in a blaze of "Glory" like a Hollywood summer blockbuster, it looks like that is all this was.

I can see that.

If they were only 1/10th as powerful he would have still been able to shoot 40-45 people? Still too much

Let congress decide what 1/10th is Thats not my job

The constitution was written by old white men just like him for them and for a different world
Things apply differently to the new world and the new people and they couldn't have known

Predictive analytics would probably get a good handle on what is red flag material.

On no we should bans guns because of an statistically rare occurrence of someone who passed a background checked used a couple firearms to commit mass murder.

Ah, you're just the idea guy. There are no calibers that are 1/10 as powerful as the .223.

And those old white men included a way to change the Constitution right in the Constitution. Did you know that?

Maybe, but owning lots of guns and having lots of ammo would likely be a negative indicator with regards to the likelihood of being a mass shooter.

a BB gun?

And it's well past due isn't it?

BB guns aren't firearms, and if your goal is to ban all firearms in the US, you better pack a lunch.
 
Re: Vegas Shooter Report is In

Yes, just another unsaved savage barbarian for loving sin more than God.

God has nothing to do with it, it's all that white guy
Don't blame anything else
