According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Paddock “was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug in June that can lead to aggressive behavior”. The drug in question – diazepam – more commonly known as its brand name Valium – was prescribed by Henderson physician Dr. Steven Winkler on June 21 and Paddock purchased 50 10-milligram diazepam tablets from a Walgreens store in Reno on the same day. Paddock was also previously prescribed the same drug in 2016. The article cites DrugAbuse.com, which warns that diazepam can trigger “aggressive behavior” and “psychotic experiences,” which can be amplified by alcohol consumption. “If somebody has an underlying aggression problem and you sedate them with that drug, they can become aggressive,” said Dr. Mel Pohl, chief medical officer of the Las Vegas Recovery Center. “It can disinhibit an underlying emotional state. … It is much like what happens when you give alcohol to some people … they become aggressive instead of going to sleep.” A 2015 study published in World Psychiatry found that teens convicted of homicide were 45 per cent more likely to kill during time periods when they were on benzodiazepines. However, Dr. Michael First points out that Paddock’s attack was obviously pre-meditated, carefully planned, and could not have occurred on a whim, although he acknowledges the reason behind why Paddock was prescribed diazepam may explain “why he did what he did”. As we previously highlighted, virtually every major mass shooter was taking some form of SSRI or other pharmaceutical drug at the time of their attack, including Columbine killer Eric Harris, ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes, Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof and Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza. As the website SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades. Pharmaceutical giants who produce drugs like Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil spend around $2.4 billion dollars a year on direct-to-consumer television advertising every year. By running negative stories about prescription drugs, networks risk losing tens of millions of dollars in ad revenue, which is undoubtedly one of the primary reasons why the connection is habitually downplayed or ignored entirely.

That's an odd number. Usually prescriptions are given as multiples of 30 days. Plus, he filled that prescription over 90 days ago. Not exactly "pounding them down".
We don't know if he had other prescriptions for other doctors, got a phoned-in refill, etc. All we know is that he did have a prescription filled in recent months and that that does warrant further investigation. And it should be noted that he is yet another in a very long line of SSRI mass killers. You know, I could do a whole Jonesy routine if I could just work some "crisis actors" into my little monologue.
There are withdrawal issues with diazepam, apparently.
Not from 50 pills. Unless you know that he had a long-standing habit?
Not from 50 pills. Unless you know that he had a long-standing habit? Unless I know? But I do know for a fact that he had a long standing habit. Of course I know that. I've known that for a long time. You know it too. Everyone knows about that. Or perhaps you know for a fact that these were the first pills he was ever prescribed, and never obtained them, or others, illegally. Do you know that for a fact?
I know for a fact he was prescribed 50 pills three months ago. That's it. You're the one who brought up the withdrawal issue with diazepam. Why bring that up unless you're suggesting he had a withdrawal issue with diazepam? Did he? I just want to know why you think that.
Why do I think that? Good question. I dunno. Maybe because he freakin shot up a concert arena full of people & killed or injured over 500 of them? But maybe that's just silly, and we should focus our search on completely rational and sane reasons why he would have been compelled to do that. Obviously we should assume the guy was of sound mind when he did it, right?
Police Source: Vegas Shooter Tried to Get Room Over Outdoor Rap Concert a Week Prior
Ya see? At least here you are searching for sources for infooutside the mainstream, trying to create REAL dots to connect -- and your effort are met with..."meh"....:-) Maybe this angle or "news" is relevant, maybe not. But was released by LVPD with purpose. BUT WHAT? We are informed -- is a "piece of the puzzle" of insight into the mind of a mass executioner. (I suppose we'll be hit with all kinds of piecemeal "ino" -- all designed to evoke the lying, diverting, distracting narrative the PTB want. And NOT the truth. So, we are told the source of this revelation is LV Police. Should THEY be believed at face value? Is this heads-up legit or disinfo/diversion? Complete of incomplete info? What is the reason for releasing this? We get a hint within the story: The reader learns that the 'Life Is Beautiful' Concert is characterized as a "Outdoor Rap Concert". NOT totally TRUE. (There was a variety of music.) But "Rap" connotes a sea of black people, obviously. The reader learns The Perp tried in vain to book room but could not book one there that gave him (and his unmentioned sniper associates) a open angle. Thus we are led to conclude that perp Paddock had NO specific ideological target in mind; That "Trumpettes" -- by and large country Country Music fans, Republicans, conservatives and white people happened to be chosen as a "Choice #2" -- was just the bad luck of what is suggested, 50-50 odds. For the record, THE "Outdoor Rap" Festival was NOT that; IF it was, it would have been run like zoo. Instead, it was far more popular venue of all kinds of artists and music, refined, luxurious and "high-end" in terms of its amenities its set up. The "Country" concert was far more raw all together and spontaneous. Its security set up and exit situation was also raw. As in sloppy or non-existent. The reader is obviously led to believe the Sniper was fully prepared to slaughter Rap Concert attendees as well -- if only he found a "Room With A View." Plausible, isn't it? Perhaps by design. The suggestion that the perp could be considering targeting BOTH demos is intended to muddle the notion from any who definitively claim the perp may have been Antifa or Dem Symp. The Narrative: Paddock wanted to take out ANYONE. EVERYONE. (which make NO sense.) As a "Lone Wolf" (again, NOT believable.) Finally, the subject of "Drugs" is injected as a possible facilitator and reason to reinforce a narrative for the perp's warped state of mind; The suggestion that Valium use was a major factor in this entire, intricately planned operation and NOT politics or a finely-tuned operation requiring much help? Ridiculous.

Yeah - ridiculous! Move along sheep....nothing to see here. "These are not the droids you are looking for". Every mass shooting over last 20 years has one thing in common... and it's not guns This was from 2013 - it's a safe bet that the trend has continued since then.
