Prayers go out to all those families that will suffer losses and injuries to loved ones.

Nothing you can do about that, even if the crowd was armed, there's no way they could have taken him down if he was on the 32nd floor with an assault rifle (and probably a scope on it).

This country is batshit.

You don't pack your rpg when you go to a country music concert?

Not to mention in Vegas at night. There would have certainly been more injuries and likely more deaths if the crowd was armed and thought they could take the guy out.

Guarantee he lost a lot of money gambling


I'm now starting to think the same thing. If anyone read the dossier from that Wiki page I linked to, his father was a bank robber and suffered some sort of schizophrenia. So maybe his son has some mental health issue as well. Perhaps no one realized it.

That's all I can come up with. Very strange. It's like the guy just flipped out. Be curios to see what the toxicology report says. I just know it's more than likely gonna be weeks before we get a definitive answer.

I just realized something horrible. Something very sad.
Even if I wanted to donate blood, I couldn't.
Inova Blood Services requires 12 weeks between donations, and its been less than that since our last violent outbreak in America.



(I donated right after the Charlottesville attack.)

All included. Still most peaceful times in history

Wish I can find those multiple links on mobile.

It is ironic that the most deadly force man has ever invented, nuclear weapons, created this age of peace and prosperity. Without them we'd be right back to constant world wars.

Earlier you posted that you were sure it was ISIS.

Looks premeditated to me. It would be hard to gather that much firepower that quickly after a bad run of gambling. It all seems like circumstantial evidence right now but he did check in a day ahead of the concert, at a hotel that is almost directly across from the concert. He got a room high enough to get a good angle and one that faced that direction. He brought enough firepower to arm an army squad.

Why he waited until the last day and almost the end of the concert to start shooting remains to be seen. Also, what did he do all those 4 days where he was there?

Why attack all these innocent people having a good time...why not just kill yourself or go take out some politicians or something. I watched the video and I was sickened. I can't even imagine being in a situation like this. :**(

blow through all his cash? scout? both?
No, ABC news just said that his brother has told the police that he was a multi-millionaire. He made his $$ from real estate and on the stock market, he owned his own plane and was a licensed pilot. None of this makes sense.
EDIT: he was also apparently a "high roller" at Vegas casino's and was an expert gambler. Police have found additional weapons at his home, like 18 more different rifles and pistols. The automatic rounds were of the "Talon" type, nasty, nasty stuff.
