Very strange indeed.

A cache of newly released FBI documents reveals Stephen Paddock, the gambler who carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history in Las Vegas in 2017, may have harbored resentment over how he and other high rollers were treated by casinos.
The heavily redacted documents – which include hundreds of pages of investigation records, evidence inventories and interviews with people who knew Paddock – also provide a fuller picture of the gunman’s obsessive gambling habits.
Though the FBI said in 2019 Paddock’s actions were not driven by a grievance against any particular casino or hotel, one fellow gambler interviewed by investigators after the attack said Paddock had become angry about how casinos generally dealt with VIP players.
The gambler, whose name is redacted, told the FBI Paddock was “upset at the way casinos were treating him and other high rollers” and he believed the frustration could have caused the gunman to “snap,” according to the documents.
The gambler said while casinos typically treated high rollers to perks like free cruises and flights, he believed the venues’ approach to such players had changed in the years leading up to the shooting, including banning them from some hotels or casinos, the documents said.

So he shot the place up, but didn't shoot up the Casino that was treating him poorly, he shot up an innocent crowd?
I aint buying it. Casino Security is no joke, but how many handguns are carried in and out daily?
He could have as easily done more damage to the Casino by shooting up the gaming room.

Naahh this is all some BS.

Oh look, CNN is trying to tell us what to believe again...
Funny how it's been dead silence on this event for years until they found another alternate theory to pimp.

I read elsewhere he scouted out multiple other music venues and booked rooms nears them.

It's interesting how news on certain shooters has every bad thing they did, inferences, and guesses from birth to that day within 24 hours while it took awhile for much of anything on Paddock(who had been employed by the federal .gov for at least 10 years) to come out.

Another narrative crafted to lead people away from the truth.

100%

Until I hear something more plausible, I'm sticking with "cover for hit on MBS (Saudi crown prince) that apparently failed."

I'm not usually one to buy into conspiracy theories, but I am NOT accepting any part of the official story on this one!

Funny how a guy I work with is a chronic gambler and gets comped cruises from the casino for the amounts of money he loses. Guess this guy is not the cruise type.

Are you expecting rationality from crazy people? This guy sounds like someone who felt like he didn't get his "free shit" and threw a tantrum, that doesn't equate to target discrimination.

I grew up at my grandmothers house. My grand parents bought it from this guys parents. He was young when he lived there. Kind of makes it more personal.

This was a hit job. He was dead before this even took place. They locked up almost every bit of info there is on this. We know more about the JFK killing than this. I was told that the guns all had lightning links or DIA sears. Even guys that have used bump stocks can't get them to work as reliable as the rate of fire that went on.
