When I'm wrong, I admit it.

I was WRONG about the fuckhead in Vegas.

At least 58 killed, hundreds wounded in shooting rampage at Las Vegas music festival

LAS VEGAS – A gunman in a high-rise hotel overlooking the Las Vegas Strip opened fire on a country music festival late Sunday, killing at least 58 people and injuring hundreds of others in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

The gunman, identified by police as Stephen Paddock, was later found dead by officers on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said during a news briefing Monday.

The massacre marked the nation's latest outbreak of gunfire and bloodshed to erupt in a public place, again spreading terror in an American city transformed into a war zone. The carnage in Las Vegas surpassed the 49 people slain in June 2016 when a gunman in Orlando, who later said he was inspired by the Islamic State, opened fire inside a crowded nightclub.

I said one person firing a gun into a crowd doesn't necessarily make a terrorist. I didn't have the facts. 2:21 p.m. here, and I don't get a paper or watch TV........... I'll know better next time to keep my stupid mouth shut before going off. I'm so used to gunfire (fall and spring) that I didn't pay attention before being an idiot.

Senseless killing for the sake of killing.

The NRA, KGOP, REPUBLICANS, Dotard, whatever they're calling themselves these days are the harbingers of death fear, and chaos.







NRA crowd

The NRA has used the example of a caustic Trump administration to raise their public profile from delusional to dangerous. No longer satisfied with having undue influence in our government, they've resorted to threats on media and denouncement of other civil rights platforms.
