We’re trying to find a way to get a network to bite on the 1 million dollar donation interview. Anyone have any ideas outside of more local news interviews? Social media campaign?

I'd be very careful doing a recorded interview. The 1 million dollar donation would be great but could cause your family more harm if edited dishonestly.

But if you want to continue I'd stop doing interviews all together until a big station becomes desperate for more news.

He has stopped interviews and is only looking for the donation interview now. It may seem like he’s doing more but I think they’re just chopping up the same ones from earlier this week.

I’m not liking the stories coming out about this. I don’t think Stephen spent decades acquiring his “arsenal”. He had about 10 guns last year and suddenly went and bought 33 more since October. Those original 10 were the ones everyone knew he had (the ones from the Reno house).

So the question really is (to us anyway) what happened last year for him to be a casual handgun guy for decades and suddenly see the need to acquire 33 rifles with bump stocks and all of the other gadgets/ accessories he had. (Sorry I’m not into that hobby).

That’s what’s strange to us. What triggers him to go from the guy we knew to one who thought this was a good idea and started executing the plan.

I don’t think he had accomplices. He really was a loner. Wouldn’t want help for anything really. Same goes for the remaining paddocks we know. They’re self sufficient loner people. If anything they should be looking at shops that helped him figure out the options on the guns he bought. Maybe he ran into people at the range and talked shop with them. But I can’t see anyone else knowingly being involved in the planning or the attack. I could be wrong of course but that’s my input.

Was marilou a loner?
I keep hearing October 2016, I think something happened around then and it was either in Dubai or the Philipines

Here’s a good article that described his day to day life. Please ignore the source. I can vouch for the info provided first hand.

Vegas shooter’s rampage came from a place central to his lifestyle: A casino

Once Steve had so much comps acrued at the Atlantis in Reno that he flew the whole family (at least 10 people) to Reno to use them up. We had so many comps that we couldn’t possibly spend it all. We all came home with bottles of Johnny Walker Blue (I still have some of it left and will probably never finish it now). The comps paid for a snow mobile excursion through the mountains. Multiple spa treatments. Unlimited food. At one point Steve told us we weren’t using them up enough (he did like using up every free comp he could get. Waste not want not sort of mentality). All the while he seemed so fucking happy that his family was enjoying the luxuries and benefits of his life style even for just a 4-5 day trip.

Sorry fellas but the reality of losing our family member is totaling battling what he did in our heads and hearts. We just can’t fathom it. I can see him saying fuck you to a casino that cuts off his comps but I can’t see the jump to what he did. It’s just not making sense to us yet. To everyone I suppose but the media will eventually paint a palatable (read: inaccurate) picture so folks can find some closure or reason for this. I don’t know if we (the family) will ever know though and that’s just as fucking tough to swallow.

Then I think of the people he killed and hurt. Their families and loved ones and holy shit that hurts right in the feels.

God dammit uncle Steve. Why did you have to go fucking crazy and do this shit. It’s not your thing man. Why involve anyone else? Especially innocent people?!

We all live under the idea that when you’re too tired to keep pushing the rock up the hill, it’s ok to call it quits. That’s a Paddock way of looking at their lives. But what’s not making sense is involving other people. People that on any given occasion he would have been down there with, along side Marilou, enjoying the music.

I've just heard pics were mentioned (in Dubai) as proof of foreign trips re: the 'radicalized' angle.

did you know her very well?

Marilou retained Matthew Lombard before returning. Lombard is a DC lawyer who, as a law student, also worked on Terry Nichols' defense in CO.

Nichols was known to make frequent trips to the Philippines & had connections to Islamic terror networks.

probably nothing, but weird coincidence IMO.

Almost forgot that the sheriff mentioned something might have happened in Oct 2016 that made him snap

He didn't buy those guns with a bump fire stock, so someone told him about that. Iirc, you said he wasn't really the guy to work with his hands, so he likely paid someone to modify the guns. Bump stocks are unreliable. You need to get good at shooting them to fire off the length of bursts he was. Someone likely worked with him on that.

I'm not saying they would have knew what he was up to. Hell, he may not have even known at that point. Maybe he just had a shooting buddy.

These are just my guesses, but I'm hoping the cops are trying to find out who he went shooting with. That might be the best bet at answering some questions.

Bump fire stocks are literally a meme in the shooting community. If someone showed him how to use it properly, they did so thinking he was after the novelty of it. No one that is a serious shooter would use one due to them being unreliable.
