Abstract: Stephen C. Paddock’s fixation on preventing his intellectual and economic decline, collapsed following his abandonment of any meaningful social interactions, expressed a hidden reaction formation while generating a high incidence for violence. Insult development occurred during his adolescent, phallic stage. His experiences and choices, throughout the Oedipus complex, produced a distorted understanding, as when one parent received incarceration and the other struggled to provide for four younger males. He persisted in replacement feelings toward the female parent, whose experiences contributed to his maturation and to his persona, living without commitment, whether artificial or normal. In defending the absent father, insult development forced unconscious drives, hardening his ambivalence, deepening his secretive passion to harm. He determined his anxiety by following abstract motifs, often unconsciously nurtured and influenced by a civic canopy. Projecting unresolved issues onto others, he employed tangible, violent force. Biological and social influences challenged his affect. Paddock activated a series of complex, historic, and current non-state influencers who share a ghost persona, learned over an extended phase, prior to the final aggression.
