. If planned to escape, then it might explain a possible payday to have been involved.And that, my friend, is the easy thing to speculate, but does not always envelope the truth. The sheriff also speculated he had planned to escape.Rational? Yes, if you ignore what you want to that is not rational within that equation.Sundance, you and Ace believe in your fantasy all you want. But realize it doesn’t mean it is the right one.
Absolutely correct....it is well known in vegas that all it takes for some gamblers to kill themselves is to lose enough money to force them to change their lifestyle(in some cases it is really not a lot of money..just depends on how much the gambler has)...that is something some cannot accept...it is so painful for them they decide to end it all by killing themselves. The only thing different about Paddock he decided to exact revenge....probably because of his mental and drug problems and the fact he was a gun collector....with a lot of guns at his disposal....he decided to go out in a blaze of glory(so he would not be forgotten) also knowing it would cost las vegas and the casinoes a lot of money...thus he would get revenge. Delusional? yes....insane? most likely.
There is a well known story often told in vegas....about a security guard summoned to talk to a gambler who was about to jump off a roof because of his gambling losses....the security guard axed the jumper how much money he had lost? The gambler said ten thousand dollars.....the security guard said...if you are that stupid go ahead and jump.
There's very little information about this case...and it's possible, as time goes by, more information will come out and it there may be more to it than just this. But as of now, with what we have, this is as a rational explanation as any.
I am sure the Sheriff will release more information gradually....it is amazing acutally for a sheriff in vegas to admit as much as he already has. Vegas is very corrupt...as in the hotel casinoe owners own the politicians and the sheriff....so for him to come out and admit that paddocks gambling losses may have influenced him to do what he did is a huge leap for them....but he did it in subdued manner...and many will miss exactly what he meant...but there is alot of heat being put on vegas and some of the conspiracy theories coming out are making vegas look even worse thant the actual truth about paddocks gambling losses being the driving force aka his motive...so it is likely the big boys in vegas have decided to come clean and let the info about paddock come out gradually in hopes it will not stampede people into demanding the government step in and do something about the gambling industry...ake enact laws that would cut into the big boys pockets.
