Mandalay Bay hotel. Local resident. Shooter is dead. Looking for a person of interest who was with him

12 still in critical condition. Hell of thing to wake up to.

by **DWags** 2017-10-02, 05:31

Jesus. The set up for that concert is like a shooting gallery. Trapped inside a fence and hotels looking down on them.

An automatic weapon with clips, according to the CBS national security analyst. A lot of people "down south" have them, according to another talking head.

Thoughts and prayers with everyone.

If everyone in the crowd had one this wouldn't have happened.

Today is a great day to stay off Facebook. It’s going to be another bar room brawl over there.

I know that area well. I've stayed at Mandalay Bay, Tropicana/Hooters, MGM, Luxor, Excalibur, & New York New York. Yeah, I've been to Vegas a lot. Sad.

Automatic weapons are already illegal. So more laws would have done nothing to prevent this. However, I don't think this will deter the OP on his political agenda quest.

Yes, I would much prefer France where they use explosives instead.

Well, see you guys in tBin.

Starting to sound like this was politically motivated? Potentially that a country concert would be full of Trump voters?

Read a bunch of stuff this morning and in one piece - can't remember where I read it - apparently a woman came through the crowd about 45 mins before the shooting and said "You're all gonna die tonight" or something along those lines. Maybe it was the little Asian lady he was with, I dunno. Just surreal and frightening.
RIP to the victims

BTW, they are saying now she is hispanic, not Asian.

EDIT, back to Indonesian.

no ideology, or motivation has beef identified and that’s from the latest report on the shooter from Fox News.

So are you going off of the optics at this point?

"He has no political affiliation, no religious affiliation, as far as we know," said the asshole's brother.

Let's simmer down on tying this to your political cause(s). Yeah? No? Whatever, fuck off.

Shows how stupid that "talking head" is. Extremely expensive, mostly illegal to own and very hard to get. If this was an automatic and it sounded like it in the one video I watched it's the 2nd time one has been used in a murder since they were generally banned 1934. Hope the shooter rots in hell.

I just don't get why you insist on using tragedy to promote your anti-religion platform. I mean, you probably had the post teed up the second you turned on your TV this morning. We get Bob. There is no God.

There isn't - unfortunately this happens all over the world but both sides will want to politicize this

I guess my interpretation is an NRA hardliner would prefer the freedom to own guns and use them in a mass shooting. A mass shooting is collateral and acceptable vs not having the freedom or restrictions to owning them like France

I'd say it doesn't have much to do with religion and more to do with the respond to these tragedies. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, unfortunately there is absolutely nothing we can do to help prevent these tragedies, I mean who's gonna touch gun control, Amirite? Thoughts and prayers though, thoughts and prayers.

The prefer was sarcasm. My point was people will find a way to kill and maim regardless of the tool. OTPT seemed to suggest that this was unique to the USA.

Fair enough. I thought you were making a vague reference to gun ownership restrictions

by **GRR Spartan** 2017-10-02, 09:33

It was planned and am surprised something like this hasn't happened before in Las Vegas given all the venues and events that attract large groups of people on foot

The guy had a boatload of ammunition and multiple weapons so he was ready to shoot a long time.

I dn't expect any action from the Federal government. If Sandy Hook didn't get them off the snide doubt if this will. Nevada probably won't enact anything more strict than already exists.

The only thing Las Vegas might do is require more building security.
