Las Vegas: Worst Mass Shooting in US History

By the way, I don't want anyone here feeling sorry for me. Don't. If it was that sensitive of a topic, I wouldn't have brought it up. And quite frankly, and this is another large reason why I didn't cry at the service (or much in general), **** happens. My life hasn't been that bad. I grew up white and middle-class in the U.S. with two educated, well-meaning parents. The far majority of the world had it and has had it far ****tier than me, and for that, I had trouble shedding a tear.

I feel ya. I bring up my own struggles here (depression, etc.) more as a way of not letting them have any hold on me. I am a believer that what we try to lock away in secret starts to put shackles on us, and if we let it into the light it never looks as bad as when we keep it in the dark, within reason of course (details, etc.).





Edit: An extreme example of this concept was the Parker-Hulme murders in the 50's, where 2 girls got so caught up in their own fantasy world they ended up killing one of their mothers. It was the topic of the movie "Heavenly Creatures" with Kate Winslet.
 
Still no motive, just ban guns right!


maybe it was big pharma, maybe it was brainwashing by the left to attack a concert dominated by conservative right wingers
 
People who develop conspiratorial theories when easy answers are not forthcoming, for instance in the case of determining motive(s) for the Las Vegas mass murderer, are very often people with very weak minds. Very often, the motives they offer as theories will involve pinning blame on their political opponents. This is of course, in the absence of evidence, highly irresponsible. When considering such sources and speculations, it is good to keep in mind that they are almost always full of buffalo biscuits....

Ya, and just labeling someone with a concern a conspiracy theorist doesnt solve anything either.

If people like you(and there are alot of yous) are always shouting others down and labeling them conspiracy nut jobs, wouldnt that make it pretty easy to get away with a conspiracy? No one is gonna believe the person that questions otherwise right? Because its taboo to say such things.

It would be a whole lot more productive(and harder) if you could explain why there still has been zero video evidence of the Vegas shooter even entering the hotel. You just take the easy way out and say conspiracy theorist. Is that because you have a weak mind?

I think its a pretty darn legitimate concern that we have seen no video footage whatsoever considering how many cameras we know are around there. Any time someone robs a store or something the footage is on the news instantly. Why is the Vegas shooting any different?

Im not saying the Vegas shooting is a conspiracy. But at the very least its weird we havent seen any footage yet. Maybe they will in time. But for now, you can hold off jumping to your own conclusions. You dont any more that dutch does. You are just taking the easy way out too.

you do know las vegas hotels and casinos are among the most heavily surveiled places in the US of A!

but yeah! lets jsut blame the gun and let this case die and just become a statistic
 
Still no MOTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


but we all know the victimology, and it points out to radicalization. no not Islamic radicalization! the talk around the fbi and las vegas pd watercooler is that he is a left wing radical, and was politcally motivated just like congressional baseball shooter.
 
I'm in Vegas for work this week. Last night, out on the strip, it was eerie, sad, upsetting, and scary just walking around. I'm not a big Vegas guy, but I don't mind my one or two visits a year. This dumb **** ruined Vegas for me and I can't imagine the impact he's had on all of the victims and families.

I still think there are a lot of holes and weird things about the story too.
