Can't wait to see what new shamefully inventive way Trump addresses this tragedy.

He already did...his tweet was that he sent "warmest" condolences to the people of Las Vegas.

You get that? WARMEST. He thinks it's a fucking Christmas greeting card.

Apparently cheeto-brain did not come up with the word "deepest".

QT hit the nail on the head.
He was a terrorist. This is not a word reserved for Isis. More people have died at the hands of white terrorists in America than Muslims, this is something that needs to be acknowledged and understood.
Connecticut tightened it's gun laws, gun related crime dropped. This is something that needs to be highlighted and understood

ISIS claimed responsibility saying he was converted.. early reports state he did not own guns, unregistered guns.. or cartel bought? It sounds like a slidelock AR actually.

Obviously the narrative is early , but saying he recently married a indoasian wife and converted to Muslim... that’s nuts.

My buddies reported back safe they were on the other side of the strip and waiting to hear from another person..scary stuff

(Obviously the first day stuff is usually nonsense so wait and see)

Don't buy into scare tactics bullshit you read, or when ISIS claims responsibility for shit they clearly didn't have a hand in (to try to get people to be more frightened of them, they claim to be responsible for EVERYTHING on American soil). None of the rest is accurate. They don't know why this white guy from Mesquite, Nevada did this, and there is no proof he's connected to them. His brother confirmed he own a few hand guns and a rifle...and didn't know about the Auto's he clearly used. There is no information that he married anyone, let alone someone who converted him to radical islam. He did have seemingly a 64 year old Australian girlfriend originally from Queensland who is white as white, and is apparently not a suspect.

He CAN, however, be a white guy terrorist unassociated with a known terrorist organization who opened fire on a public event, and then cowardly took his own life before the cops could bust into his room. He can totally be that.

He is obviously a terrorist and that narrative should be stressed. As many shocked and don’t want to wipe it off as crazy old white dude. This was calculated and planned, he did have bipods and its being reported that 200 mags were found. For reference that’s 250-400 pounds of bullets. Insane and been trying to wrap my mind around that .

Big condolences, QT, especially to your mom. That's awful.

I've got a compromise idea for the U.S.: a complete and total ban on personal ownership or sale of automatic weapons and high-round magazines. It won't even touch hunting and self defense weapons. Make automatic weapons legal for licensed, inspected, and regulated facilities (e.g. shooting ranges) where people who want that stuff in their lives can blow their wads, but get it out of the everyday lives of as many people as possible.

[Adhara]

I can't offer you nothing but my condolences, QT.

Just read this as I knew about Las Vegas. The world is totally going crazy. Or perhaps is only the information available to all us in a second. But the recent months were all plagued with catastrophes, and it doesn't stop.

Really I don´t understand why humans make harm to another humans when Nature is already doing all the work.

Fuck! Tom Petty died. This is one of those days where I just want to crawl back into bed.

[worry]

Ugh.

[Malankazooie]

Now it's being reported that Tom Petty has not died but is holding on. Hopefully he pulls through. Sending prayers his way.

And clearly has no idea that an exclamation mark at the end removes any gravitas or sense of feeling. 'Warmest'...
what a fuckwit.

Condolences, QT. Really unfortunate and possibly avoidable... sad news all round.

My mother's best friend (since she was in her teens), and a close, close family friend died over the weekend as the result of a botched colonoscopy that accidentally clipped her colon open, and caused an internal infection that no one caught (they sent her home...her husband noticed that she was still really unwell and took her back to the same hospital [who refused to readmit her], so he took her to a different one where they found out that the scope had done damage to her colon. She was on a respirator for a week, and passed away Saturday.

I can't believe she's gone so young (only in her early 60's). She was like a second mother to me when I was growing up, we visited their place so frequently. She was a wonderfully sweet Swiss-accented woman. I miss her a lot. My mother is beside herself and I've been crying on and off since yesterday.

This is a mere two years after they lost their daughter (who is my sister's age) to Lupus.

Anyways. It fucking sucks.

Condolences QT. To lose someone so precious always hurts, but to lose them this way has to be devastating.

It almost sounds like criminal negligence.

I woke up to this headline. I have seen some of the videos. I simply can't imagine someone doing this. Why? This was preplanned, it wasn't a spur of the moment act.

[Morgoth]

Jesus, the shooting in Vegas is awful. I am so sorry for all of you experiencing something like that in your own country. It certainly brings back bad memories for me and I'm half the world away.

[Malankazooie]

Woke up this morning and saw that it's been confirmed. Tom Petty has passed.

[Slow Ben]

Motherfucker, i'm listening to talk radio to hear what the people on the radio have to say, not to hear your dumbass comments about what they're saying. Shut....up.....
