Reading lot of mainstream reporters reaching for motive involving gambling losses. Everything I hear from people in the industry around town is he played sound advantage video poker, and was a long term sizeable winner
It doesn't seem like it was gambling to him because he found an edge and milked the hell out of it. I honestly never heard of video poker until this situation. Can't believe he made 5 million off gambling in one year and not even considered a shark.

i wonder if he truly won 5 mil or if that the cumulative amount of winnings, not counting how much he lost.
If you’re at the point where you’re reporting gambling income as taxable income, you also report losses and can only write off the losses relative to the income. He was way ahead if he was net mid 7 figures as taxable income

If I were him I would be demanding big money for a interview
Yea and I’m sure the Hotel will pay him as well. Especially if his superior was like “hey we’re hearing something on the 32nd floor, sounds like gunshots, go check it out:ehh:

AND this security guy was unarmed.

Every time dumbass shyt like this happens, I just imagine what the Aliens watching rn might think of us. 60 innocent lives ended at a music festival by the hands of a deranged civilian aiming death machines from a hotel room :jbhmm: and the irony is that most of those lives lost probably support politics / politicians who allow the current legislation to continue.

Honestly this one is kinda the scariest mass shooting yet because dude not only went totally undetected leading up to it, but also ripped through hundreds of people from a fukking makeshift snipers nest in a hotel room that was a block away. And there doesn't even seem to be a clear motive as to why he did it. ISIS and Islamic terrorists are chump change compared to what actual people living in this country could do
