Las Vegas shooting: Reports of shooter at Mandalay Bay Casino

[tigerred59]

Whoever this shooter was, he was a piece of shit. No matter if he was a "Trump supporter" or "a Bernie guy". I'm willing to bet he was on the radar for being a nutcase, but in America nutcases are allowed to be free instead of being locked up for everyone's safety. We need to make some big changes to keep people safe.

Going forward, it's going to be practically a strip search to attend an event such as this.

What is fucked up, is how he got all this shit up to his room......I mean, we're not talking a effin hand gun...but whites aren't searched, its only minorities.

Of all the murders in the US in 2012, 60% were by firearm compared with 31% in Canada, 18.2% in Australia, and just 10% in the UK.

So?

Most gun murders are committed by people who cannot legally own guns.

I as a law abiding gun owner am not responsible for those murders

Where do these people that cannot legally own guns get the guns? From irresponsible gun owners that don't secure their guns?

No they usually get them from friends or other known criminals

I would not call the process 'easy'. Especially in California

The nation is awash with firearms. Toddlers pay the price, don't back pedal now.

If a toddler dies because of someone firearm the one to blame is the firearm owner and not the gun.

I understand that personal responsibility is not for those like you and maybe you should never own a firearm but for the majority of Americans they are responsible gun owners.

This is no consolation to the families of the innocent dead and injured.

Also more kids die in traffic accidents than the illegal usage of a firearm...

Stop trying to change the subject.

Why are you upset at facts?

Also the subject is about mass shooting in Vegas and not toddlers being killed, so who changed the fucking subject asshole?

I bet OJ is breathing a sigh of relief.....LOLOLOLOL and the PR, well, its been nice hearing about ya!

 

[Dr Grump]

And what does that have to do with the FACT that most gun murders are committed by people who can't legally own guns?
Most gun murder victims are criminals or have long criminal records.

If they didn't have guns, or were licenced, they might not have firearms in the first place. Bit of a moot point in places like the US. You guys are too far gone. The joint is awash with peashooters. I guess you just have to get used to this type of situation which is becoming a regular occurrence.

Crazies come in all sizes and shapes, you'd think everyone would realize that given our history of constant shootings. Dopes on the other hand select one nut and then blame their favorite foe of the week, See above for examples. Cole names lots on the other side below.

Yes, Trump, Some Americans also murder: Some are Your White Supremacists

Bullshit.

Less than 1% of all murders happen in mass shootings

 

[Dr Grump]

You got that right.

Stay there, OK?

Abso-bloody-lutely. You couldn't pay me to live there. Well, someone tried once, but it was a choice between Australia and US. I thought about for about 0.00001 of a second.

Watch your language.
I said nothing about toddlers.
Please stay on topic.

.
Probably true. But 1% if the US rate is about all of the rate of some other countries.

64 yr. old Stephen Paddock opens fire on crowd of young country music concert goers...

Gunman Opens Fire on Las Vegas Concert Goers Killing At Least 50
Monday 2nd October, 2017 - Police in Las Vegas, Nevada say a man attacked a country music concert late Sunday, killing at least 50 people and wounding more than 200 others.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters the attacker was on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay casino, located across the street from the outdoor venue where videos showed concertgoers ducking for cover, screaming and running as the repeated shots rang out. Lombardo said SWAT officers 'engaged' the shooter, that he was dead, and that authorities found 'numerous firearms' in the hotel room. He identified the shooter as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, and said that an investigation into Paddock's background was not finished, but that police believe he was the sole attacker and they would be searching his home. 'We don't know what his belief system was at this time,' the sheriff said.

Police stand at the scene of a shooting along the Las Vegas Strip, Oct. 2, 2017, in Las Vegas. Authorities had also searched for a woman described as Paddock's roommate in order to get more information, and Lombardo said he believed she had been located. Several off-duty police officers who were at the concert were among those killed. As the situation unfolded, people sought safety in the many hotels that line the popular tourist district. The Las Vegas international airport is also in the area, and flights there were temporarily halted because of the shooting.

Country star Jason Aldean was on stage playing at the time of the shooting. Hours later he described it as 'horrific.' 'I still don't know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that me and my crew are safe. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight. It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night,' he said on Instagram.

Police run to cover at the scene of a shooting near the Mandalay Bay resort and casino on the Las Vegas Strip, Oct. 1, 2017, in Las Vegas. Other artists who were part of Sunday's main stage lineup at the Route 91 Harvest festival reacted on Twitter. U.S. Senator Dean Heller, who represents Nevada, called the shooting a 'senseless, horrifying act of violence,' while Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval described it as 'tragic and heinous.' British Prime Minister Theresa May also expressed support, saying Britain's thoughts were with the victims and emergency personnel.

Carnage at Outdoor Concert in Las Vegas: 50-Plus Shot Dead, 200 Injured
October 2, 2017 - Country singer Jason Aldean was playing at an outdoor concert at Manadalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip at 10:08 local time Sunday night when a man described by police as "a local resident" began firing down on the crowd from the hotel's 32nd floor.

"Officers responded to that location and engaged the suspect at that location. He is dead," Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told a news conference around 4:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. "Right now we believe it's a sole actor, a lone-wolf type actor," he said. At a later news conference, Lombardo identified the shooter as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock who was armed with multiple weapons. As for the concert-goers, Lombardo said "in excess of 50" people are dead, and more than 200 are injured, some seriously. Among the dead is an off-duty police officer who was at the concert. A second off-duty officer is in critical condition.

Cell phone video shows concert-goers running, falling, and trying to get out of the line of fire at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas late Sunday night.​

Police said they have located the gunman's companion, a woman identified as Paddock's roommate. Lombardo named her as Marilou Danley, an Asian female. Lombardo said the Red Cross is assisting family members anxious to contact concert-goers who may have been shot or otherwise unable to communicate with their relatives. They're also asking the more than 20,000 concert-goers for cell phone video that might help with their investigation.

In a message posted on Instagram, Aldean said: "Tonight has been beyond horrific. I still dont know what to say but wanted to let everyone know that Me and my Crew are safe. My Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight. It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night. #heartbroken #stopthehate." Witnesses reported concert-goers fled for their lives as they realized that the popping noise they heard was not fireworks, but gunfire -- apparently automatic gunfire, some witnesses said. As of 5 a.m. EDT, an undetermined number of bodies remained at the concert venue; all of the injured have been taken to hospitals.

Well seeing more toddlers die because of those like you behind the wheel of a automobile mean you should not be allow to drive.

Yeah, let's line up those murdering sons of bitches who purposely killed kids in their cars. BTW, how do you know how the poster you are posting to drives? what do you mean "those like you" behind the wheel? You know his driving record?

You don't live in the states, so why care?

If they drive they are a danger to society when behind the wheel. They might have road rage and think about that poor little toddler that you want to save from gun violence but you are alright with them being killed because someone like you was on their cell and too busy to comply with state laws while driving.

So if you drive please stop and think of the toddler or do you hate kids?

If he's brown he's a Muslim terrorist, and if he's white he's a Christian nutjob. Don't wait for the bodies to get cold. Step over them on your way to the keyboard.

Yep, we're never searched. In fact this guy probably told the staff at the desk when he checked in that he had an entire arsenal with him, but when they saw he was a white guy they just nodded and winked at him and gave him his room key.
