I haven't looked into his background too much so I don't know, but if he is a violent leftist thats not a surprise. But just to keep the facts straight, this took place on the strip, and while the strip isn't really the center of Vegas I wouldn't really call it on the outskirts and it is where a lot of people are, at a large concert in an open outside area with little cover, near a hotel that made for a good snipers perch that would allow him to fire with little risk of being interrupted before he had a high body count, it does seem like this would be a fairly optimal place to maximize casualties.
