New documents suggest Las Vegas shooter was conspiracy theorist. What do we know? So it turns out that a bunch of documents got released about Stephen Paddock, the guy who shot up the country concert in Las Vegas. And there are a bunch of people who had run into him and a bunch of people who gave statements. There was this one lady. In a handwritten statement, one woman says she sat near Paddock in a diner just a few days before the shooting while out with her son. She said she heard him and a companion discussing the 25th anniversary of Ruby Ridge and the Waco siege. She says she heard him and his companion saying the courtroom flags, like in a courtroom, with gold fringe are not real flags. The belief that gold fringe flags are those of a foreign jurisdiction or admiralty flags is characteristic of the so-called sovereign citizens who believe, among other things, that the current U.S. government and its laws are illegitimate. There's a bunch of other stuff that they found about him being afraid of FEMA camps and stuff like that.
