    We literally have no idea what Stephen Paddock’s motivation was. The Las Vegas shooting was not a reaction to the congressional shooting

      Read your first sentence, then read your second sentence. Then do it again a few more times, and then ask yourself why I would listen to anything you say?

        So you, knowing more than all of the alphabet boys who combed over his personal life for a concrete motive; you know that it was a reaction for a fact, then, yes? Clearly, you must be able to read minds or talk with the dead, then.

        No? You don’t have otherworldly powers?

        tsk well, golly, sport, that sure don’t make a whole lot of sense.

        There’s nothing wrong with what I said. You can’t give criminals motives nor can you give different crimes connections based on your personal opinions. The matter of fact here is that despite numerous investigations, we still don’t know why the Las Vegas shooter did what he did. If evidences surfaces that he was indeed motivated and inspired by the congressional shooting that happened shortly prior then we can establish such a connection, but until that happens we can’t.

        I disagree, I think their names should be known and their crimes studied. We can’t erase what they did, nor should we. We have to discuss and research these fucked up individuals otherwise how are we going to come up with a solution for the root cause of the issue?

          Study them, yes. But that doesn’t require making their names and faces commonplace. Most research is done without broadcasting people’s names and faces to the world. Heck - when I was doing analysis for HHS I wasn’t given anybody’s name or picture at all.

          Some of these killers are seeking fame and attention, and by giving it to them we encourage others.
