Current Events > Police trying to make up mental illness for LV shooter.

(+) Yeah! (+)

The picture that is emerging of Steven Paddock, who has been identified as the gunman in Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas, is of a man that some law enforcement officials increasingly believe had severe mental illness that was likely undiagnosed, sources tell ABC News.

The portrait, gleaned from interviews with hundreds of people interviewed over the past week, is that while Paddock might have been financially successful, he had real difficulty interacting with people. He is described as standoff-ish, disconnected, a man who had difficulty establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships.

Paddock opened fire on a music festival crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Oct. 1, killing 58 people and injuring 489 others before taking his own life. More than 22,000 people were attending the final night of the Route 91 Harvest Festival when gunfire erupted.

The 64-year-old was known for playing gambling games in casinos for hours at a time with little or no human contact. One source told ABC News that Paddock was exhibiting many antisocial traits that are typical of past mass shooters.

He acted like an asshole.. therefore he must be mental ill.

And? Are you suggesting that someone that decided to shoot up a bunch of people was sane in some way?

This. It's the fact that he is being labelled as "mentally ill" without evidence; he could have been a terrorist and there could be more like him. Instead, they rather chalk it up as "mental illness" and close the books. Poor, lazy, incompetent police work.

Or someone who is just pissed off or want to be remembered for something.

Doubt this guy did it expecting virgins and mules in heaven, or to cause some social and political change.

Don't you know how it works?

Suicide bombers = Brown people brainwashed by evil religion

Mass shooters = white people with mental illness

Deport them all!
