And a completely different culture.

Now, do you want to visit Mexico's murder rate with their strict gun laws?

Fact is this is simply a narcissist who wanted to commit an act so heinous his name would forever be remembered in the annals of crime. He will get the attention he so craved.

Doesn't matter his political views or background. Whether the Charleston shooter, the Orlando shooter, Va Tech shooter, etc. The outer motives may appear different, but the inner motives are all the same. This is why we will never prevent these narcissists from future such incidents.
So much truth right here.

This is very sad. More evil showing itself in this city. I believe it's all spiritual and I am thankful to have a savior and protector that I can pray and thank with all this chaos going on, and for my children's protection too. I will pray for the victims' families and the victims themselves.

What was this nut's main malfunction? I guess we will find out in the coming weeks. Which will do nothing for the victims. So sick of this crap.

All kinds of crazy stuff coming out. It is going to be a while before the investigation nails down what is factual and reports on it.


Allegedly , the shooter had two platforms set up , 8 firearms, and cameras set up. If this is true , it isn't just some crazy white dude that snapped. It was a well thought out and planned attack.


Stephen Paddock Had ‘8 Guns’ & ‘2 Platforms’ in Hotel*Room


There was also some screen shot floating around on FB stating that the Melbourne Antifa chapter was giving kudo's to their Nevada comrade and his attack on Facists.


The Feds definitely have their work cut out for them on weeding out the crazy comments from legit ones.

Yes, that was the guy who worked at an old people's home and went nuts and tried to kill everyone there.

Idk why you're so married to the political angle. This happens in Vegas, the city where you literally lose your shirt. The guy's brother said the brother USED to own a bunch of things that indicates he used to be wealthy. They have said he's known at the casinos. Add in that his gf is out of the country. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to think that financial and possibly romantic issues are currently a much more credible reason at this moment than politics.
