Agree with all of this. Seems unlikely, but holy **** if it is true.

Honestly surprised we made it this long without having one of these.

I do not believe they are preventable. The wicked/ twisted of mind will always find a way to kill.
First, I am in no way minimizing the tragedy that happened in Las Vegas. Pure evil. But to your point, I agree. My fear after Sandy Hook was that sometime in the future, some sicko(s) will try for the all time record of mass killing and it would be so horrific that it would cause some very major, very restrictive gun control legislation. And if the inevitable lawsuits hit SCOTUS when it happens to have a liberal majority, well poof, there goes the 2nd amendment for all intents and purposes.

soon we will have hotels like the middle east where you have to go through metal detectors and send your baggage through a TSA like conveyor prior to entering.


Wasnt really an issue of the hotel per se. It was simply that the festival was outside the hotel. Same scenario without the festival means only a few targets.

But of course we tend to overreact and defend against then most recent tragedies. Ala 9/11.

And they tend to move on to another method. Plenty of target rich environments and you can't defend them all.

That brother is acting odd.

Obviously, his world just got turned upside down, but still very odd acting.


If my sibling, who I'm pretty sure is a totally normal really nice person, just committed a mass homicide, id probably be acting odd too.

I probably wouldn't be giving interviews though.

Falsely claiming attacks is absolutely something ISIS does: the Manila casino attack, the CDG airport bomb threat in Paris, the "shot down" Russian plane to name a few

they are pretty smart when it comes to thinking of new ways to attack us. the guy might not even have known he was being used by ISIS. they could use a middle man, who could radicalize him based on whatever his flavor of conspiracy was. all conjecture at this point, but it seems plausible enough to me.

CNN reporter said that Trump was about to give a "TelePrompTer speech" on the mass shooting. Isn't that the only kind that Obama gave, yet they never mentioned it?

FWIW, RT is reporting that shooter converted to Islam a few months ago. No idea if true.

Probably basing it on what ISIS is claiming.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

For sure. That's why I qualified it. Just saying he looks to be a bit off.

Wasn't trying to imply he is involved in any way.

Well his brother just killed 50 people and then shot himself in the head. I'd be pretty f'ed up too.

Hate to even mention it but......

Times Square on NYE just became a nightmare to hope to secure.

Not that I would ever go anyway but.....scary.

Just a typical dewshbag shot at Trump that CNN is becoming famous for.

I remember after 9/11, the argument against profiling was that they would just get a white guy to do it. Maybe that day has finally come?

Re the brother.

I always feel badly for the families of these people. They are usually clueless and have no desire to be drug into the limelight. In some ways, they are unwitting victims of these events, too.

It should be unnecessary to say that I obviously feel badly for the shooting victims and their families, but if you don't make the explicit statement, some wit will post something implying that sympathy cannot flow in multiple directions.

Even her own party hates her.

She really seems to think they will welcome her in 3 years.

You know what is funny. Everyone of these idiots are from the Northeast, with the exception of Kaine who is from Virginia, or maybe Mars actually. Nine Dem politicians are quoted in the article. All nine from the NE (and Virginia). Should't the title of the article read: "One region of the country calls for national gun control"
