Ms Danley and her vehicle has now been located by the police, and it has been confirmed she is not believed to be involved in the mass shooting.

Danley is Australian


She's from the Philippines. What planet are you on? She lived in Australia for 20 years but not originally from there.

His brother said he only had a $2 million net worth.

Hadn't worked a "real job" in thirty years, so no pension, little Social Security.

That is poor, not rich for a 64 year old retiree.

He needed that money to last him the rest of his life.

He's gambling $10,000-30,000 / day.

That is a mental illness.

Paddock, who has been described as a “regular guy”, had no criminal record, no ties to religious or terror groups as far as his family knew, no mental health issues and no military or weapons training.

And yet, he was capable of pulling off a military-grade attack on US soil


but was it a military grade attack, or just something that anyone could do given the availability of weapons? that's a genuine question, I am in the UK so guns don't play a part in life here, but I wonder if having easy access to guns means shooting randomly into a crowd from a window is a very easy thing to do if you so desire.

I have no issue with people talking about political and social change in the immediate wake of an event. Those from all over the political & social spectrum that are using others responses as a political tool should be utterly ashamed of themselves though.

Putting aside the usual pro-gun shenanigans from the usual suspects on WP does anybody actually know the shooters objectives? if any?

Why isn't this classified as an act of terrorism?


His objective was to kill as many people as possible, before taking his own life. The attitudes of many people such as all the gun fanatics on this forum, made it incredibly easy for him.


My understanding is that the police took him out before he could reload and continue


What? That is not even close to what happened. Why don't you read what actually happened before you post.

Hillary Clinton attacks NRA over Las Vegas shooting and calls for gun control 'We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA

They have been politicizing national tragedies to push gun control and blast the NRA since RFK was assassinated almost a half century ago. If with a Democratic President and more progressive congress after Sandy Hook they could not pass gun control it ain't happining now. At most in progressive states they will add a few more steps to obtain weapons.


Hundreds of innocent peopled died today because of the moronic lack of gun control policies in the country. THIS IS THE TIME TO PUBLICIZE IT. But don't worry about your stupid gun rights going away. Because in a few days, after all the candlelight vigils and prayer fests are done, everybody will forget about it, and mentally incompetent fools will still be able to buy weapons of mass destruction. until next year there is a new biggest mass murder in history.


Stop using a tragedy to benefit your agenda. I have never seen a Conservative do this - EVER. It's obvious that these deaths are totally meaningless - just another way to push your crazy cause of outlawing guns. I can't stand anyone on the Left anymore. CAN'T STAND THEM. I saw some of the posts from the Left on Facebook hoping that Trumpsters were the ones killed. That is mentally deranged and sick. Who would even want to be on the side of a group like that? And it's not just a few who act like that - it's most of them. I've seen a pattern of this behavior in ex-friends, co-workers and especially on this site. Totally nauseating. If I was on the side of the Left, I'd be embarrassed.

The way the Left acts during times like this, makes me want to ADD to my gun collection.

NEXT!


This isn't about political agenda but more likely a severely mentally ill man.



This isn't about a political agenda? What BS!

"Hillary Clinton slammed for ‘ignorant’ statement on guns after Las Vegas shooting"

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10 ... ttack.html


You bring up mentally ill. Anyone on this site should be more concerned about wanting to correct all the negative publicity about all these "gun nuts" supposedly having Aspergers instead of spending your time arguing that guns should be more controlled. If I had Aspergers, I'd be more upset about that and spend my energy in changing that line of thinking. Aspergers is already being thought of as a "mental illness" by some.

I was talking about the shooter not having a political agenda.
Of course a politician does.And you do too,the way you constantly slam the left.
I've never said guns should be controlled.There isn't any way to do it.Just like illegal drugs,if people want it,they will aquire it.
Aspergers is not a mental illness, and the "some" that think that are uneducated on the subject.
Anyway, something is wrong with someone who kills a bunch of innocent people he's never met.That is not the act of a sane mind.Just becuse he's not diagnosed with mental illness does not mean he can't have one.Many people have mental illness and never seek treatment.No one knows till they snap.And older men are less likely to seek help for mental problems.They think it's weak to ask for help.


That's the first problem. We have the worst mental health system in the world, which results in people with serious untreated mental illnesses walking the streets. Then the second problem. The insane gun nuts who won't even let us have enough gun control to keep military grade automatic weapons out of the hands of these mentally ill people. Then you have this maniac who had enough money to buy an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, to carry out this mass murder.

And then people actually ask, why did this happen? :roll:

Lots of crap is happening all over.

I got news for you: "crap" has always happened. It used to be WORSE in the old days--it's just that the METHODOLOGY is different.

One of the main problems, I believe, is that people isolate themselves from other people, and develop erroneous ideas as a result. If one would scour Internet sites, one would believe everybody is either a flaming liberal, or a wingnut conservative. A freaking Commie, or a effin Nazi. That's just not the case in reality. Most people just want to protect their families from harm. And to live in decent communities. They don't care too much for abstract political ideology, usually.

Just having SOME contact with the real world, just getting yourself "beyond' yourself, I believe, will prevent most of these mass murders.

He solved his own problems by eating a bullet before SWAT breached his door... To bad he didn't just simply suck start that revolver after a lonely drunken night in the bathroom like most screwed up people end up doing.

GRAPHIC: Image of Stephen Paddock, this will not buff out.

Still a mystery, although he appeared to acquire his weapon through illegal means

He purchased the weapons through legal means and legally modified some with bump fire stocks. (If I recall, I posted an LA Times article about the weapons previously)

Second image has a Bump Fire Stock.

I have to agree with this... If you get out there, most people are very mellow and down to earth. More so politically, as most people just don't talk about it or if they do, in reality they seem more mellow and flexible with politics... I still have yet to meet a "Nazi", although Commies seem to be more prevalent and outspoken lately.

NY Post: Vegas shooter wired $100K to girlfriend in Philippines days before rampage

Quote:
The week before to his rampage, Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock wired $100,000 to the Philippines — where his live-in girlfriend would be Oct. 1, when he opened fire on a crowded outdoor festival thousands of miles away, it was revealed Monday.

It is not clear exactly what the money was intended for, NBC reported.

Paddock’s 62-year-old gal pal, Marilou Danley, traveled to Hong Kong on Sept. 25 and then went on to the Philippines on Oct. 1, possibly to visit family, investigators have said.

She is a native of the Philippines and an Australian citizen, according to Brisbane’s Courier-Mail, which reported she lived on the Gold Coast for 20 years before coming to America.

Neighbors said Danley described herself as a gambler. Her LinkedIn page said she worked as a “high-limit hostess” at a Vegas casino. Her slot-machine card, which is used to rack up bonuses and other benefits through play, was found in Paddock’s suite, according to the Nevada Independent.

She initially was considered a person of interest, but later was cleared when investigators determined Paddock acted as a “lone wolf.”

Danley was in Tokyo on Monday afternoon. She is expected to return to the US for questioning, the Las Vegas Sheriff’s Department said.

That's what I just heard. So he did send her away before he intended to do it.

She should have taken it with her in cash so there wouldn't be a money trail. He should have known the connection would be made.

Those who immediately talk about gun control in the wake of an event and those that immediately try to tell everyone that they are not allowed to talk about gun control in the wake of an event are just 2 sides of the same coin.

We may never know what drove him to do it. In this case I don't think it's a lack of mental healthcare access because he had plenty of money. He probably either didn't think he needed it or did think so but just didn't care.
$hit happens and there isnt always a reason or a solution.

It's in poor taste to use a tragedy like this to further a political agenda and that's what I always see from the anti's. Let them talk about gun control, though. It only helps to expose them as the opportunists that they are.

Anybody could do it with the right guns and the right setup of a lot of people in one place and only one exit. What people don't get who want gun control is that it doesn't matter how much you try to control who has guns, they will get them on the black market - just like they do drugs. You just end up taking rights away from law abiding citizens. In the US, people have the right to own guns. If you can't accept that, then you need to move to a gun-free country. It is that simple.
