The Las Vegas gunman ranted about conspiracy theories in the weeks before he gunned down 58 people and wounded hundreds more from his sniper perch inside a high-rise hotel last year, new documents reveal.
A jailed man who gave a statement to authorities in November said he encountered a man he believed was Stephen Paddock and who told him that Federal Emergency Management Agency “camps” setup after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 were “a dry run for law enforcement and military to start kickin’ down doors and…confiscating guns.”
“Somebody has to wake up the American public and get them to arm themselves,” the man said Paddock told him less than a month before the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. “Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.”
Separately, a woman wrote a handwritten account of her experience with Paddock, in which she said she heard him talk about armed standoffs. The woman reportedly overheard Paddock talking with another man at a Las Vegas restaurant three days before the shooting.
She told authorities that Paddock seemed upset about the deadly standoffs between law enforcement officers and militia groups at Waco, Texas in 1993 and Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992.
“At the time, I just thought ‘strange guys’ and I wanted to leave,” the woman told officials.
The Las Vegas Police Department on Wednesday released 1,200 pages of reports, including witness statements and officer testimony on the October massacre. Multiple witnesses who attended the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert said they thought they were hearing fireworks as the shooting was taking place.
The documents were court-ordered to be released to the public. Two weeks ago, the department released body camera footage of police officers entering and combing through Paddock’s hotel room at the Mandalay Bay resort.
The FBI and police have yet to declare a motive for the shooting, though officials have said previously that Paddock, a prolific gambler, was on a losing streak prior to the shooting.
Officials believe Paddock acted alone and the attack had no link to international terrorism. ISIS, however, claimed responsibility for the attack in its immediate aftermath — though officials have dismissed any connection between Paddock and Islamist groups.
Lying bullshit testimony from an unreliable witness. Here comes the coverup.
Even if he did say those things….how is he wrong?
Exactly!
“She told authorities that Paddock seemed upset about the deadly standoffs between law enforcement officers and militia groups at Waco, Texas in 1993 and Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992.”
Trying to link this event to militias – like they wanted to from the very beginning.
Yes, this is definitely an attempt to demonize patriots, and if Paddock really did say those things, it may be why they dumped his body there to take the blame for killing all those people.
This is probably the beginning of a new effort to find and identify “lone wolf” patriots so they can be disarmed. They can’t disarm everyone, but they may convince the public to rat out those who pose a threat to the commies.
It’s the Zionist media that needs to be attacked so they might lose their grip on the American mind.
According to the lubavichers, in this country, if you ain’t a Trumper then you can’t be a patriot. You gotta be a law abiding/cough cough…. citizen and VOTE!!!!!
There!! That’s a good little 14th amendment pion!!!!!!!!
Yeah, more BS dreck, they’re trying to make him out to be like the guy in The Rampage trilogy…
where he goes around killing randomly, anyone in the Public..in order to wake people up….and all his “belief” system is right in line mostly, with so called patriots and anti globalist….etc…
great movie but it is a clear propaganda production….this is their very feable attempt to make this psychological connection for the sheep….
we have zero evidence this padfock fkn did anything….
the flack is always the heaviest when you are right over the target
He’s drinking margaritas in Cuba right now, with a fatty in the ash tray.

The sheeple have been ‘programmed’ to fear truth.
To flee from it, in fact.
