Two options and I don’t know what’s worse. Dude didn’t want to live and taking as many out of him sounded like fun. Or he would gladly destroy himself for the opportunity to live out his little snuff film fantasy mowing a bunch of people down.
either way what an evil piece of shyt. These guys are such narcissists they usually try to get their entire bullshyt life story and philosophy out there. This fukker offered no excuses or justification, just seemingly out for blood.

Remember when Eminem did an extended double entendre from the perspective of the shooter?
No
Facts, this was the 9/11 of shootings but there's never no mention of it all at from the media. Sandy Hook even gets brought up from time to time but never Vegas. Its unbelievable and a serious head scratcher
i see no reason why this won't happen again and be even worse.
imagine if that knucklehead had a buddy who was down to clown with him from a separate building.
getting your crossfire on with a crowd like that from above would have been even worse.
he fukked up by not barricading himself in better.
he also should have booby trapped the place and set up a way to repel out the window and down the building.
he put so much time into planning this and just shyt the bed at the end.
shyt, even a wing suit would have been dope.
imagine some fat old, drugged out white man gliding over a the crowd he just shot up and then opens fire again
as police desperately try to access his suit. but when they finally do they set off explosives in a room full of gas containers.
eventually land in the desert, ditch the wingsuit and hitchhike a ride outta town to go meet your wife.

dawg I was thinking about it today. Like why they not brining it up to blaming the facility for not protecting the people from getting shot.

Yes they have
They've been caught several times slicing graphic footage from events that have nothing to do with ISIS into their recruitment videos and claiming it as their responsibility.

Made me look for a pic of it when this popped up.. Bout timeI walked pass the ground zero of it and Vegas and there was a memorial placard no bigger than this attached to a closed off fence:
Even Vegas wants to pretend that shyt never happened.
Las Vegas massacre memorial panel focusing on victim stories
MGM Resorts donating land to build memorial for victims of Las Vegas concert shooting
GUWOPPERS
I might die a bachelor
See, lmao.
And those ain't even the memorials I was talking about.
Vegas don't let us forget that shyt.
But the reason I never fukked with it, is cause since day one I said if this happened at Drais or a majority black event, the response would be nowhere near the same.
I used to use a photoshopped cover of rainbow six Vegas with Steve p face on some of my accounts.
Kinda fukked up but they don't give a fukk about me so I'ma match that energy.

LAS VEGAS -- The high-stakes gambler who opened fire on a concert crowd on the Las Vegas Strip in 2017, killing 60 and injuring hundreds more, was apparently angry over how the casinos were treating him despite his high-roller status, according to a fellow gambler whose interview with the FBI is detailed in hundreds of pages of documents made public this week.
The revelation comes years after the FBI in Las Vegas and the local police department concluded their investigations without a definitive motive, although both agencies said gunman Stephen Paddock burned through more than $1.5 million, became obsessed with guns, and distanced himself from his girlfriend and family in the months leading up to the massacre.
In a statement Thursday, Las Vegas police defended their inconclusive findings and dismissed the importance of the documents released this week in response to an open-records request from the Wall Street Journal.
"We were unable to determine a motive for the shooter," the statement said. "Speculating on a motive causes more harm to the hundreds of people who were victims that night."
Lawyers for the victims of the Las Vegas massacre say they've reached a deal to settle lawsuits that's expected to pay up to $800M.
The fellow gambler, whose name is redacted in the new documents, told the FBI that casinos had previously treated high rollers like Paddock to free cruises, flights, penthouse suites, rides in "nice cars" and wine country tours.
But in the years before the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting in Las Vegas, the red carpet treatment had faded, the gambler said, and casinos even began banning some high rollers "for playing well and winning large quantities of money." Paddock himself had been banned from three Reno casinos, according to the gambler.
The gambler told the FBI he believed "the stress could easily be what caused" Paddock "to snap."
Kelly McMahill, a former Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department official who headed the agency's criminal investigation into the shooting, said there was no strong indication that Paddock's actions were driven by resentment toward the casino industry.
"There's no way that LVMPD would have hidden any potential motive from our victims and survivors for five years," McMahill said.
The 10-minute massacre unfolded on the final night of the three-day Route 91 Harvest Music Festival across the street from the Mandalay Bay resort.
Authorities have said Paddock, 64, unleashed a barrage of bullets into the crowd of 22,000 people from his corner suite on the 32nd floor of the hotel.
His gambling habits made him a sought-after casino patron. Mandalay Bay employees gave him the free $590-per-night suite with a commanding view of the Strip and the music festival and let him use a service elevator to take up his multiple suitcases. Hidden inside those suitcases were the guns he'd use for the massacre.
A dozen of Paddock's weapons were modified with rapid-fire "bump stocks," attachments that effectively convert semi-automatic rifles into fully automated weapons. Some had bipod braces and scopes. Authorities said his guns had been legally purchased.
But before setting up his perch in the Mandalay Bay, Paddock also researched other large venues. He booked rooms overlooking Chicago's Lollapalooza festival in August 2017 and the Life is Beautiful festival in downtown Las Vegas near the Strip.
"What we know from (Paddock's internet) search history is that he was looking for a large crowd of people, which, of course, he ended up finding," said McMahill, the former Las Vegas police official.
The FBI in Las Vegas didn't respond to a request from The Associated Press seeking comment. But in its final report released in 2019, the FBI said Paddock had sought notoriety in the attack and maybe wanted to follow in his father's criminal footsteps. The report also said his physical and mental health was declining as his wealth diminished.
But Paddock acted alone, killed himself as SWAT officers closed in, and left no manifesto or "even a note to answer questions" about his motive for the rampage, then-Sheriff Joe Lombardo said in 2018. Lombardo, now the governor of Nevada, declined to comment Thursday.
"If we ever discover a motive, whether it's 10 years from now, 20 years from now, I have faith that LVMPD would contact victims first before making something public," McMahill said. "It's the right thing to do."

basically he was a bytch made rich psycho who lost his money and was bitter about being an old useless piece of shyt. the reason you don't hear about it is because 1. Vegas does not want you to hear about this shyt, it was not good for the travel and tourism business. 2. it is not good that we live in a society where any rich a$$hole can decide slaughter 50 people because he gambled all his money away and barely anything will be done about it, that's also bad for business and the media does not want you to hear about it.
if there was something more nefarious or some conspiracy as opposed to we just live in a shythole country where some a$$hole can decide to shoot a 100 people because he's down on his luck, the media would be much happier to talk about it. sadly the reality of what happened is far more troubling because it can very easily happen again and again and nothing will be done about it.

I made the thread on it when it happened. October 2nd, 2017.
I remember exactly where I was when I made the thread I was chilling with some of my friends at flowers on Dekalb and Broadway in Brooklyn. Just checking Twitter while waiting for a drink at the bar.
At 1st, I thought it was just a small shooting and there were no casualties. Then the reports started flooding in from Twitter that it was a straight up massacre.
I immediately ran over here to make the thread.
