Portrait of Las Vegas gunman: A narcissist on a losing streak

[TomCADem]

You have to watch out for these wealthy folks with malignant narcissism. When things start to go down hill, they want to take down as many people with them, because they blame them for their troubles.

Police say the man who shot and killed 58 people and injured more than 540 others in last month’s deadly massacre in Las Vegas was a status-obsessed narcissist who had lost a “significant amount of wealth” in the last two years, something authorities now believe may have been a “determining factor” in the Oct. 1 attack.

In a wide-ranging interview with KLAS-TV, the local CBS affiliate, Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo said gunman Stephen Paddock was a successful real estate investor and prolific gambler whose wealth had fluctuated over the years. But, according to the sheriff, Paddock had been losing money since September 2015, triggering “bouts of depression.”

“This individual was status-driven, based on how he liked to be recognized in the casino environment and how he liked to be recognized by his friends and family. So obviously that was starting to decline in the short period of time, and that may have had a determining effect on why he did what he did,” Lombardo said. “He was going in the wrong direction.”

But Lombardo cautioned that investigators still have not settled on the precise reason for why Paddock suddenly unleashed a deadly barrage of bullets onto the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival from the windows of his 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino a month ago. Lombardo, as he has repeatedly warned in recent weeks, again said Paddock’s motive may never truly be understood.

1. my bet is he was loosing at the casinos.

and that there is plenty of surveillance video of him throwing temper tantrums and making threats.
this is based on knowing that there is plenty of video available, but we have seen none of it.

3. How many others are out there?

Lombardo and others are just now realizing this. Until the Casino owners step up,we will see a copy Cat. Our Metro Police Force is overwhelmingly tasked to the Vegas Strip. Consequentially,all the other areas of the County are under represented and this is major concern for some 2 million plus residents.

The Owners of the Casino's use the Police Department as their private Security Force to protect their investments. This has to change.
