Paddock Was The Perfect Patsy.....

Just think about it.
At first, I was thinking that if the guy was setup and used as a fall guy then why didn't they choose someone with a criminal record? Dark skin? Religious? Young? Someone with something many parts of the public can grasp onto and subscribe motives to in order to seemingly expain why the shooting happened.
But what they did is do the opposite for once. They pinned it on a total blank slate. A white, retired boomer with no criminal record and no religious or overt political affiliations. This way instead of the public focusing in on the perpetrator and his or her motives they are forced to focus on guns in general instead.
It wasn't a dark skinned individual, which stops knee jerk reactions from racists. It wasn't a muslim, which stops conservatives and Christians from pointing fingers. It wasn't a millennial or younger, which stops the older crowd blaming it on the youth and culture. It had no criminal record and was a retired boomer. It wasn't poor and angry because of this—the man was worth millions.
This man is the perfect fall guy if you want the country to solely focus on guns and gun laws and legality. The perfect blank slate.

That makes no sense. Why would "they" choose a person with no clear motive that would make everybody wonder aloud why and how such a thing could happen?
Entirely too many conspiracy theories boil down to some unspecified "them" being both omnipotently powerful and utterly incompetent at the same time.

I'm glad we've got you sitting here in the new queue to debunk theories with stale old arguments and straw men.
1 natetom 2017-10-03
It makes complete sense. OP isn't the only one thinking this. I was thinking about this earlier today as well. The guy had zero reason to do what he did. No motive, nothing. Now the media can say that normal, healthy minded individuals can carry out mass violence with guns. Before they tried to pin the blame on the ability of the mentally ill to buy guns. Now they can say that it doesn't matter, and that nobody should own them. I've already seen this narrative being mentioned in my Facebook news feed. OP is 100% correct.
1 Garagecouch 2017-10-03
Well obviously he had a reason, we just don't know what it was. We may never know. The sad truth is sometimes people just lose it and go on killing sprees. It's been happening every few months for decades. This is just an especially bad one.
Dude, nobody thinks this guy was normal or healthy. He shot up a crowd of people! He was by definition neither normal nor healthy.
1 natetom 2017-10-03
If that is the case, then why the fuck is the media bothering to make it a point that he had no history? Your argument is invalid.
1 Garagecouch 2017-10-03
Because "who, what, when, where, why" is literally the first thing you learn when you become a journalist. People want to know why. The fact that in this case we don't know why yet (and may never know) doesn't mean there isn't a why.

They're going out of their way to humanize him.

If the idea is to get gun reform, then Paddock is actually the perfect fall guy in my opinion. If an Average Joe with no criminal history, no signs of snapping, no financial/religious/political motive, all legally purchased weapons, etc. can do this, then the only option is to not let people have guns. If it's a terrorist or criminals with illegal weapons, the other side has a stronger argument to be able to protect themselves. I don't know one way or the other but I like hearing everyone's theories.

Bingo.

A lot of things are implied in this sub, we're just trying to make sense of things.
1 shewolf999 2017-10-03
He was the perfect fall guy and he was just weird enough to create the whole "mentally unhealthy" image they are trying hard to push. They're like "well, he was a gambler... you know how they can be".
1 dolaction 2017-10-03
I'm thinking his Filipino wife converted him to Islam, he wired 100 k to their cause, then went on killing spree because he's mentally unstable.
1 zyzzlife69 2017-10-03
Only 100k though? That's like nothing honestly. Why not a million or more?

Do you recall what the premise of OP was? They deleted. I had this bookmarked 😒

How long til we can expect his medical records?

oh, they'll be"missing" in about 8 years....
1 allkindsofnewyou 2017-10-03
Shit.
1 Aye_or_Nay 2017-10-03
See JFK/Oswald files - missing.
1 allkindsofnewyou 2017-10-03
True. Thankfully what we do have about mkultra was because it was filed wrong. I'm thankful for that clerical error and would love to personally thank the person for technically sucking at their job.
1 Aye_or_Nay 2017-10-03
Yes, we know about everything because they are a bunch of fuck-ups.
The only thing stopping the truth is the liars.
1 GrapeChineseFood 2017-10-03
Unless they you know misplaced it.
1 LongSaggyBalls 2017-10-03
Uhhh everybody talks about gun control every time this happens no matter what the killer looked like or his motives. We talked about it after the Charlston church shooting. We talked about it after the Orlando shooting, and we are talking about it now. So I have no clue what you're talking about.
1 evil420pimp 2017-10-03
Mental gymnastics, trying to fit the real world into one's own flawed perceptions. Logic and reality need not apply.
1 GhostDog999 2017-10-03
And people were able to blame the church shooting on racism and white supremacy and the Orlando shooting was blamed on anti-gay fervor and many blamed BLM.
With this no onw—or specific group—can lay blame on one issue or another beyond merely guns and gun laws. It gets directly to the heart of the issue and bypasses all fervor about motives and prejudices.
1 dncisapsyop 2017-10-03
Bullshit. A black man just shot up a church full of white people. No calls for gun control.
1 Villainary 2017-10-03
You got a source for that claim?

Here, because you need someone else to type a search query into Google for you

1 avehicled 2017-10-03
Im not sure why the media and cops automatically jumped to the conclusion of "welp this must be the guy who did it, open and shut case, johnson" instead of "dead guy found in room with guns used to commit mass murder"
1 Fatnips09 2017-10-03
Not saying you're wrong, but it's easy to assume a guy who committed suicide in a room used for a massacre is the culprit.

Occam's Razor friend
1 iRonnie16 2017-10-03
Occam's razor is always such a lame excuse. You think the government has never conspired in something like this? 9/11, Occam's razor? OKC bombing, Occam's razor?
1 makeucryalot 2017-10-03
There was that camera he recorded himself with you know...
1 avehicled 2017-10-03
I could have sworn I heard in the news briefing this afternoon that there were 2 cameras in the hall and one facing towards the peephole? None of the cameras were pointed inside of the room. Correct me if I'm wrong
1 GrapeChineseFood 2017-10-03
Apparently he recorded himself doing the crime on a personal cam.
Fastest link I could find.

inspect element is a thing.
1 perfect_pickles 2017-10-03
AP/Getty released premeditated photoshopped scene pictures for usage of the Daily Mail and similar news propaganda websites.
now if this was a real event, there would not be photoshopped pictures from the drill from last month.
'they' planned this shooting, it was setup.

And that will be the title of the movie because that's about as far as we'll get to ever knowing the truth
1 zippityd0dah 2017-10-03
And he shot up a country music concert, where a good number of them (and country music artists in general) are pro-gun. I saw today where some singer I've never heard of has apologized for being pro-gun and is apparently now wanting gun control.
If it's a Muslim shooting a gay night club, then the problem is Muslims. If it's Dylan Roof shooting a black church, it's racism. If it's Chicago, it's just criminals being criminals and we should ignore it.
But, if it's a middle-aged white man with no apparent mental illness and no apparent motive, then we can blame just the guns.
