Trump isn't mentioned in the cartoon. What do you mean?

ETA: It's Congress that's being skewered.

Well? I still haven't heard an explanation that doesn't involve support of the shooting.

The shooting started at 10:05pm. Police got to the 32nd floor at 10:17pm.

That sounds pretty damn fast to me.

I was watching the local news as it happened. There were erroneous reports of a gunman coming down the escalator at New York New York, somebody wandering around the MGM Grand shooting the place up, and people taking cover at the Tropicana. I asked hubby why we weren't hearing about stuff happening at the Luxor or the Excalibur (both easier to reach from Mandalay Bay than the other casino/hotels).

The police and ambulances reached the area with impressive speed as far as I'm concerned.

... after the firing stopped they had no reason to rush his room with disregard.

I'm thinking if he was still firing at the crowd they would've been there sooner... jus my 2 cents
