Bruce Paddock, brother of Vegas shooter, arrested on child pornography–related charges
Bruce Paddock, brother to the perpetrator of the Las Vegas mass shooting, was arrested in North Hollywood allegedly for crimes relating to child pornography and sexual exploitation of a minor, according to multiple reports.
Bruce Paddock was one of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock's three brothers, albeit estranged from the family. Earlier this month, Stephen Paddock killed 58 people and wounded hundreds more using a modified semi-automatic gun fired from the window of a Las Vegas hotel room. Stephen Paddock committed suicide after his massacre, leaving little evidence as to his motives. Since the massacre, there has been a flurry of interest both in understanding the shooter's motives and on gun law reform. Little progress has been made on either front.
This was not the first time that Bruce Paddock had faced criminal charges; indeed, NBC News reported that "Bruce Paddock has a criminal record stretching back to the 1980s, with convictions for vandalism, criminal threats, theft and driving with a suspended vehicle and other arrests for which he was not convicted."
Bruce Paddock is not to be confused with shooter Stephen Paddock's other brother, Eric Paddock. Eric Paddock became the focus of media attention after giving a lengthy emotional interview on the front lawn of his Florida home days after the shooting. The shooter also has a fourth brother named Patrick Paddock who lives Tucson, Arizona.
Patrick Paddock told the New York Times in a recent interview that Stephen Paddock was "the most boring one in the family ... He was the least violent one in the family, over a 30-year history."
It seems unlikely that Bruce Paddock faced new police scrutiny as a result of the media focus on his family, as many of the charges against him appear to date to 2014. An NBC affiliate reported that the Los Angeles County criminal complaint listed "20 potential counts" for Paddock, which included "19 counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of possession of child pornography."

This is turning into something right out of James Patterson or Steven King...
I know I know 'truth is stranger than fiction' but deeeee-ammmnnn!
I really really wonder if this will change course and we actually do find it was more narrative we are being shovel fed...
My mind is reeling still...

Nothing so far about any internet presence from this guy? But if he had a computer, I predict they will 'find' child porn on his computer.
I was close!

Be careful what you post on Reddit. Trust me on this one.. They'll try to eat you alive.
But by the grace of God went I.
But I think their time's up, their sick party, over.
It's pretty heavy duty stuff you're right.
I've deduced that the only way to take a proper stand is to get right in the devil's face and grab his beard for a knee slam, only to see it fall apart in your hand as so much fluff and ugly nonsense.
Righteous anger and a rising tide of Civil conscious awareness along with a chain of evidence, will chain this beast and toss it wailing, headlong into the abyss (which means oblivion) for 1000 years, at least.
I find it odd the way these things are bubbling up in much the same way that it was strange and unexpected that Trump beat Clinton in the election.
Strange times. I hope that Jeff Sessions forgets about the potheads and wakes TF up.
It's time, the time has come. We're ready. We can face this thing down.
No fear only faith!
Best regards,
Ankh

The lost hard drive didn't do it?
He is not the first mass shooter to destroy or hide digital clues. In 2007, Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung Hui removed the hard drive of his computer and disposed of his cell phone shortly before the massacre. Authorities even searched a pond for the missing digital media, but the devices were never recovered.
The 2008 Northern Illinois shooter, Steven Kazmierczak, removed the SIM card from his phone and the hard drive from his laptop, and neither was recovered.
In 2012, Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza had removed the hard drive from his computer and smashed it with a hammer or screwdriver.
