over his crummy response to PR, but I don't know if that's true. I'm not a country fan and haven't ever even heard of Aldean. Someone else will have to confirm that.

Hunters are equated to staunch second amendment people.

Although I am a liberal hunter.

Hard to fathom aldean as motive.

he was pissed over having a personal-injury lawsuit against another casino thrown out.

In September 2012, a man identified as Paddock filed a negligence lawsuit in Clark County District Court against The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas over a fall at the Strip resort.

The lawsuit, however, was dismissed in October 2014 after both sides agreed to drop it.
