Bad year for the family. Worse year for humanity. He is said to be living in an assisted living facility.
and their father was a bank robber and conman. The sons apparently didn’t grow up under his influence. Some messed up-ness seems to be congenital.
Hey, maybe he was that “rumors” guy from that (cornfielded, I see) pit thread!
So to clarify, this wasn’t the brother who spoke to reporters multiple times on the news in the aftermath of the shooting.
Correct. It says in the article, “Another brother, Eric Paddock, spoke to media following the shooting but Bruce Paddock did not.”
Bruce was, uhm, busy on his computer…
You have to wonder if there’s another as-yet-unmentioned brother who’s into cannibalism or necrophilia or folk dancing.
You have to figure the timing is great for Bruce though. Any other year, this would be all anyone was talking about when they got together for the holidays.
Now there’s yet another reason not to have kiddy porn on your computer. If an extended family member goes on a shooting rampage, odds are the cops will end up digging in your computer. Best to keep the incriminating stuff on a removable hard drive or something.
Brothers… Always trying to top each other…
Nah, too old.
The link in the OP doesn’t seem to be working but in another article I read it stated the investigation on Bruce started before the shooting when someone dropped a dime on him.
There are four brothers. Bruce the kiddie porn aficionado, Eric the goofy media personality, the shooter, and another brother not heard from.
Eric was the only one still in contact with the shooter. The other two were estranged for years.
Dear Abby -
I just got engaged, and I want to introduce him to my family. I have three brothers. My father is a bank robber, one brother is a child molester, one killed dozens of people at a concert, and one voted for Trump.
Should I tell my fiancée about the Trump voter?
Regards,
Shodan
The fourth was Patrick who has spoken to the media just a little bit. Bruce was son #2 and in addition to having a colorful minor criminal history apparently used to beat up older brother Stephen, which is why they were estranged long before Stephen went off the deep end. Patrick was also apparently “very different” from Stephen according to Eric, so just didn’t associate with him.
The younger two might the more normal ones, while the older two sound like they had the more dysfunctional lives.
