So many unanswered questions. Did Las Vegas shooter have plans beyond the concert massacre?
He owned two planes, had bombmaking ingredients, and may have attended an anti-Trump protest

Did Paddock have more plans, possibly involving bombs and airplanes? We may never know but it’s worth looking into.
Now let’s consider motive. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the slaughter, though so far the authorities say there is no connection between the terrorist organization and Paddock.
So let’s aside for the moment the possible link to international Islamic terror networks. Could Paddock have been an angry left-winger lashing out at conservatives and Trump supporters? His family insists he wasn’t interested in politics but a video has surfaced of a pussy hat-wearing man at a left-wing protest who looks like Paddock. (I’m not yet convinced it’s actually him — the nose doesn’t look like his — but what do I know? Maybe it’s a lighting issue.)
What’s interesting to me is that the man in the video is shown wearing a shirt emblazoned with “NASA” at the event that took place in August in Reno, Nevada.
As Pamela Geller points out, Paddock worked at Lockheed Martin from 1985 to 1988. The company has done contracting work for NASA for decades.
In fact, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration claimed Paddock as one of its own in a 1993 press release highlighted by Geller. “Steve Paddock” of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is identified as a member of the “study team” exploring the possibility of “a return mission to Mars.”
There are so many unanswered questions about Paddock. We can’t count on the mainstream media to bother asking them.
