Quote:Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 – August 1, 1966) was an American mass murderer who became infamous as the "Texas Tower Sniper". On August 1, 1966, he murdered his mother and wife in their homes, then went to the University of Texas at Austin where he shot and killed three people inside the university's tower. He then went to the tower's 28th-floor observation deck, where he fired at random for some 96 minutes, killing an additional eleven people and wounding thirty-one before being shot and killed by police. Sixteen people were killed in total; a 17th victim died in 2001 from injuries sustained in the attack.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: The suspected shooter’s brother, Eric Paddock, said the family was stunned by the news. “We have no idea. We’re horrified. We’re bewildered and our condolences go out to the victims,” Eric Paddock said in a brief telephone interview, his voice trembling. “We have no idea in the world.” http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-lasvegas-shooting/gunman-kills-at-least-50-wounds-200-in-las-vegas-concert-attack-idUSKCN1C70FU

Quote: Before he opened fire late Sunday, gunman Stephen Paddock lived a quiet life for years in a small town outside Las Vegas, the WaPo writes. A retired man, Paddock often visited Las Vegas to gamble and take in concerts, his relatives said. Public records show he was a licensed pilot, who owned two planes. And he had a hunting license from Alaska ... Family members said that Paddock spent much of his retirement in recent years staying in hotels in Las Vegas and gambling. They said he listened to country music and went to concerts at Vegas hotels.

Ever seen ANY of the Die Hard movies? Sin City? Rambo? You're no hippy. (Not to mention, but Firefly isn't exactly free from violence, either!) The truth is- if you're going to snap, you're going to snap no matter what you've seen and heard, but the games and movies don't help. What makes more people violent than anything else is THESE kinds of shootings. Guys sit around and fantasize about being the "hero" who stops a shooter, arm themselves to an insane level, and then they have a bad day and do it themselves.

Quote:CBS has parted ways with one of the company’s top lawyers after she said she is “not even sympathetic” to victims of the Las Vegas shooting because “country music fans often are Republican,” when discussing the tragic mass shooting that occurred in Las Vegas late Sunday night. “This individual, who was with us for approximately one year, violated the standards of our company and is no longer an employee of CBS. Her views as expressed on social media are deeply unacceptable to all of us at CBS. Our hearts go out to the victims in Las Vegas and their families,” a CBS spokeswoman told Fox News. Hayley Geftman-Gold, the network's now-former vice president and senior counsel, took to Facebook after a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, killing at least 58 people and sending more than 500 others to hospitals. “If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs [sic] will ever do the right thing,” Geftman-Gold wrote in a now-deleted message that was first reported and captured by The Daily Caller. Geftman-Gold continued: “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc [sic] country music fans often are Republican gun toters [sic].” Geftman-Gold is presumably referring to Sandy Hook, which occurred in Newtown, Conn. back in 2012. A 20-year-old gunman, Adam Lanza, killed 20 children and six adults during the tragic event that sparked intense political debates regarding gun control. Geftman-Gold did not work directly with the network’s news division. According to her LinkedIn bio, Geftman-Gold worked at CBS since September 2016 and graduated from the prestigious Columbia University law school in 2000.

Quote: The Father of the Las Vegas Shooter Was a Notorious Bank Robber Who Escaped From Prison http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/10/02/stephen_paddock_s_father_patrick_benjamin_paddock_was_a_bank_robber_wanted.html . His late father, a notorious bank robber who spent eight years on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List after escaping from a federal prison in Texas, was a very different kind of criminal. The elder Paddock, whose nicknames included “Big Daddy” and “Chrome Dome,” was charged in 1960 with stealing about $25,000 from three separate bank branches in Phoenix, Arizona. Paddock was 34 at the time, and had already been to prison twice for his role in what the Arizona Republic called “confidence games.” Who is Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock? https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2017/10/02/who-is-las-vegas-shooter-stephen-paddock/ Born on April 9, 1953, Stephen Paddock was 64 years old, a retired accountant with a taste for high-stakes poker who had moved to Nevada just a couple of years earlier. He lived in an upscale retirement community, Sun City Mesquite, at 1372 Babbling Brook Ct, Mesquite, NV 89034, 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Police is currently searching his home. He had working ties to Goddard? NASA and Lockheed? Stephen Paddock had worked for Lockheed Martin for three years in the 1980s. A Lockheed spokesman said: “Stephen Paddock worked for a predecessor company of Lockheed Martin from 1985 until 1988. We’re cooperating with authorities to answer questions they may have about Mr. Paddock and his time with the company.” Stephen Paddock had the number 13 tattooed on his neck. There’s video footage showing someone who looks like Stephen Paddock in a pink NASA t-shirt wearing a pink pussy hat, at an anti-Trump protest in August 2017 in Reno, NV. (Recall that Paddock had another home in Reno, and had worked for Lockheed Martin, a defense/NASA contractor). The video was uploaded to IndivisibleKara’s Twitter account on August 23, 2017. Steven Haffley found and uploaded to YouTube a video that better shows the guy in the pink pussy hat, who was standing next to a woman who looks like Marilou Danley. Father Psychological Disorder https://everipedia.org/wiki/benjamin-hoskins-paddock/ Paddock was diagnosed as psychopathic?. He reportedly had suicidal tendencies, as well. Palmer M. Baker Jr., an agent in charge of the Phoenix FBI office, described him as "A glib, smooth-talking man who is egotistical and arrogant." He also made the following statement after he escaped from prison: Since he has utilized firearms in previous crimes, has employed violence in attempting to evade arrest and has been diagnosed as being psychopathic, Paddock should be considered extremely dangerous http://www.revereradionetwork.com/brother-reveals-jaw-dropping-fact-about-las-vegas-killers-family/ One of the brothers of the man who killed at least 58 concertgoers in Las Vegas just dropped a huge clue in the case. Stephen Paddock, 64, is believed to have killed himself before law enforcement officers entered the Mandalay Beach hotel room from which he committed the massacre. At first, Eric Paddock told reporters his brother was “just a guy” who liked burritos, gambled, and went to Las Vegas shows. “Mars just fell into the earth,” he told NBC News. “We’re completely dumbfounded.” Another brother, Bruce Paddock, separately told NBC his brother was a laid-back, “never-in-a-hurry,” law-abiding citizen who had never been violent. Then Eric happened to mention that their dad was Benjamin Paddock, a notorious bank robber who was on the FBI’s Most Wanted List for eight years after escaping from a Texas prison. According to the agency, their dad was a “diagnosed psychopath.” Las Vegas Gunman Described as Wealthy Gambler, Loner http://www.ntd.tv/2017/10/02/las-vegas-gunman-described-as-wealthy-gambler-loner/ In recent weeks, the gunman made gambling transactions worth tens of thousands of dollars, although it was unclear whether they were wins or losses, NBC News reported, citing unidentified law enforcement officials. Stephen Paddock’s father was an infamous bank robber who spent years on the FBI’s most wanted list. Patrick Benjamin Paddock also went by the alias of Benjamin Hoskins Paddock. This information was revealed by Bruce Paddock, Stephen’s brother. It was later confirmed by NBC News’ Peter Alexander that Patrick Paddock was Stephen Paddock’s father. http://heavy.com/news/2017/10/stephen-paddock-dad-patrick-benjamin-hoskins/ On October 1, Stephen Paddock killed 58 people on the Las Vegas strip after firing into a crowd who were watching a country music festival. A motive for the crime has not been released by authorities. Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock: retired accountant, heavy gambler http://censoredweb.com/2017/10/02/vegas-gunman-stephen-paddock-retired-accountant-heavy-gambler/ FBI said they saw “no connection” between Paddock and international terror groups, and a stunned nation remained at a loss to understand the motive for the Sunday night massacre, which left 58 people dead and more than 500 injured. Paddock was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, before a police SWAT team burst into his room in the Mandalay Hotel, one of Las Vegas’s most recognizable landmarks. https://bluelivesmatter.blue/las-vegas-gunman-stephen-paddock/ tephen Paddock Planned The Attack Well In Advance Law enforcement officials say that there were more than 10 rifles and “19 weapons” found in Paddock’s room when he was killed. Based off of the video of the shooting, we can infer that at least one of the rifles was a fully-automatic weapon with multiple extremely large magazine. Paddock either reloaded or switched weapons multiple times during the attack. Stephen Paddock’s brother says that he didn’t even own that many guns, and nothing fully-automatic. “It makes no sense. He’s never hit anybody. He’s never… he had a couple of hand guns, I think…he had a safe with a couple of hand guns. He might have had one long rifle, but he didn’t have any automatic weapons, that I knew of at any time. It just makes no sense,” Eric Paddock said. Eric Paddock said that his brother had never been an “avid gun guy,” had no military background, and suggested that Stephen had to have obtained the weapons recently before the attack. Stephen Paddock’s Father Was A Psychopathic ‘Most Wanted’ Bank Robber Eric Paddock told journalists that their father was a convicted bank robber who had been on the FBI most wanted list in the 1960s. Patrick Benjamin Paddock robbed Valley National Bank in 1960 and escaped with over $4,600. He was accused of robbing more banks, but was never convicted. Charges were dropped after he was convicted of the first robbery. Reports state that he was “diagnosed as being psychopathic.” He then escaped from the Federal Correctional Institution at La Tuna in Texas and placed on the FBI’s most wanted list. Stephen Paddock Was Possibly Going Through A Divorce And In Debt NBC News reports that Stephen Paddock was married and that he may have been going through a divorce. Eric Paddock identified Marilou Danley as his girlfriend. Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said that prior to the shooting, Paddock had been using Marilou Danley’s slot club ID to gamble. NBC reports that he had made large gambling transactions, but it’s unknown if those are wins or losses. In 2012 Paddock had sued a Las Vegas hotel for “Negligence – Premises Liability,” claiming a floor obstruction made him slip and fall. The case was dismissed with prejudice before being settled in arbitration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Hoskins_Paddock Benjamin Hoskins Paddock Jr. (November 1, 1926 – January 18, 1998) was an American bank robber from Sheboygan, Wisconsin who was on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list from 1969 to 1977. After being convicted of multiple bank robberies in Arizona, he was sentenced to a federal prison in Anthony, Texas, from which he escaped in 1969. This escape resulted in his addition to the FBI's Most Wanted List. In 1977, he became the manager of the Bingo Centre in Springfield, Oregon. In 1978, he was re-arrested in Springfield; he later pled guilty to escaping from prison and was sentenced to two more years in federal prison. In 1987, he was charged with racketeering and fraud by the attorney general of Oregon, but reportedly avoided jail time by paying a fine. He was the father of three sons, including Stephen Craig Paddock, who carried out the 2017 Las Vegas Strip shooting. Vegas Shooter's Dad, Patrick Benjamin Paddock, Was a Convicted Bank Robber Who Escaped Federal Prison, Tried to Run Down FBI Agents With His Car Stephen Paddock was seven years old at the time of his father's arrest. http://reason.com/blog/2017/10/02/patrick-benjamin-paddock-vegas-shooters Patrick Paddock was arrested on July 28, 1960, in Las Vegas, where he had fled after the bank robbery in Phoenix. "The FBI said Paddock tried to resist arrest and attempted to run down an agent with his car," reports a July 28, 1960, article in the Citizen. "A shot was fired and Paddock surrendered." The FBI agents found nearly $3,000 and a loaded .38 caliber revolver in his car. Police suspected Paddock had committed several Phoenix-area bank robberies, netting him a total of around $25,000. But he was only tried for one of the robberies. In December 1960, a jury found Paddock guilty and Judge Peirson M. Hall sentenced him to 20 years in prison, the maximum allowable sentence. While in prison, Paddock was apparently diagnosed as suicidal and psychopathic. After eight years of incarceration, Paddock escaped from a Federal Correctional Institution in La Tuna, Texas, and was placed on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list. Paddock was removed from the FBI's list in the late '70s, after he was found living in the Eugene, Oregon, area under the alias Bruce Werner Ericksen, running a bingo parlor. He was again arrested in 1978 but got out on parole; he remained a free man until 1987, when he was indicted on seven racketeering charges in Oregon. The judge eventually let him off with no jail time and a $100,000 fine. He returned to Texas where he lived until his death in 1998.

Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: Of this entire list of 128 rampage killers in the western hemisphere, going back to 1863, there's only 1 woman (Fugate, a teenager) listed, and she's in tandem with a much older male boyfriend and accomplice (Starkweather). Since that covers a very lengthy timespan and multiple cultures, where the roles of women were vastly different and undergoing active change, it's a pretty solid observation. Men can take credit for 99%+ of rampage killings.
