Does this surprise anyone? Police unions are just crime enabling organizations.

I feel like this is even a stretch, because if the dude hated the casino, why not just go berserk in the casino itself? If he wanted to destroy the reputation of the casino in a hail of fire and bullets, most even partially rational individual would have targeted the people who wronged them directly, rather than just smashing a window and shooting at a crowd in another venue.

I feel like this is some half assed excuse/explanation for a random act of violence using a gun that injured and killed so many people.

All we really know is that the guy brought an arsenal to a hotel, then killed 58 people and himself without hardly a word.

In a world of gun violence where kids get killed all the time, it’s easier to dig into a gun mans life and pull out instances of bullying, jealousy, and anger towards others as precursors to violence, but random acts like this make it so hard for gun right activists to say that it’s these people who “we should have saw coming” that are the problem, rather than having gun laws so lax that nearly anyone can get a gun within days or even hours of deciding they want one.

Oh and he also idolized Timothy McVeigh and Hitler.

They did the same thing here in Virginia beach when a city employee went on a shooting rampage and killed a bunch of co-workers. They said they didn't know why he did it, even tho they really did and didn't want to admit they were racist and took away his pension.

These guys wrote a manifesto... but hey, let's not mention any of that.

I wanna hear the conservatives the totally not tired line

PLAY STUPID GAMES WIN STUPID PRIZES

Theocratic nightmare

They know that Paddock also rented a room overlooking Lollapalooza in Chicago. There's evidence that he was considering other locations, not just casinos. Doesn't make sense that this was just a vendetta because a casino didn't comp him a penthouse.

This seems like a very weak motive theory to cover the fact that authorities haven't people able to come up with any answers in 6 years. So much about this case is so weird.

Because strict firearm laws have really helped out California, Chicago, New Jersey..... Oh wait, Firearm Violence remains on par with the national average.

Sounds like the guy was pretty delusional for a long time. He said he'd been "making a lot of money" gambling, but then his accounts went from about 2 million to about 500K over the course of a couple of years. Not the signs of someone really in touch with reality.

Very well said. What I meant to get across with my comment just better explained. I too think this is a problem and until the religious cop protectors wake up and realize that, we will continue to have an organized crime syndicate tricking people into thinking they do the best for the public rather than for themselves and their patrons.

After 6 years this was the best fake motive they could come up with to hide the true motive I guess.

I know a guy who said he made 6 figures playing video poker. He would play small amounts but in like 10 different games simultaneously. So he was just generally outplayed average people for small amounts of money because he knew basic odds.

Are you really a professional gambler if you gamble $950,000 and win 4k? Or just an idiot with money?

This is true as well.

What a crock of shit. It definitely wasn't that. People don't spend 3 days prepping/buying ammo and sneaking in guns to a hotel room to just open fire on a concert because they didn't get a penthouse...

I'm just gonna file this one under B...for bullshit.

I'm curious as to why they think Ethiopia would be safe from the end of the world.

I dont think it's any where near all cops. But the good cops that let the bad cops get away with it are as much of the problem.

And police gangs taking over senior positions then demoting and terrorizing the good cops I'd say is the majority of the problem. And I'm including senior positions in the unions that intentionally protect the bad cops. It is full blown organized crime.

But the difference is you join the mob you know you joined the mob, I still think many join the police force to do good, some get corrupt, some get removed because they won't go corrupt.

M&Ms not sexy enough

Crimes that are funny should get a free pass. This man is out there making society more interesting and we are being so ungrateful by imprisoning him. /s

It's a metaphor.

>The complaint states that she denied any illegal activity in initial interviews with investigators and then later tried to blame her housekeeper.

The housekeeper was using her office computer? ok

Fuck I bet they were mad

So the reason this happens a lot is the nature of rental equipment. A lot of the times the renter isn't there while the gear is being dropped off or picked up, so there's no chance for an in person key transfer.

Reasonable people use one of those magnetic key boxes and then send a text/email giving its location, but either hanging in the ignition or under the seat are absolutely the industry standard

Multiple times over the course of my career have I a "borrowed" a random forklift when I needed to move some thing and mine either wasn't available/had not been delivered/ran out of power.

That does sound pretty fun lol
