Damn...
Sick.
Who is that?
Does it really matter? I guess maybe in terms of how serious the injuries are, though you can suffer some awful injuries and death from being trampled. Without the shooting, there would have been no need for people running away, so regardless of how they were injured, it is all attributable to the shooting.
Madness. Sickening.
Then you get these fecktards including far right websites like Gateway Pundit and 4chan.

Some random fecktard that enables Miha to play the big bad lefties card.
Probably a Russian bot. Either way not sure why that was posted, we know twitter is full of random fecktards who seek joy and happiness from anything.
I imagine it was posted to create a false sense of equivalency between the left and trumpards.
Possibly. We can speculate on a lot right now, even how many of his weapons were purchased legally and how many were purchased illegally (my guess is most if not all will have been legal purchases somehow), just have to wait for the police to do their investigation.

The initial furor after the OKC bombing was Islamic terrorism. I remember BOLOs looking for persons of interest that were described as Muslim. When McVeigh was initially arrested (for a firearm in a car if memory serves) he wasn't considered a suspect because LEOs/FBI were looking for Muslims/brown persons of interest.
Took a bit for McVeigh to be charged as evidence piled up. Same for Terry Nichols.
No one knew the Unabomber's actual identity for years.
Still doesn't change the fact that they were and are called terrorists, which was the only point I was making.
People are actually posting the definition of "terrorism" as an argument? Just wow.
A gunshot wound is far more likely to result in a fatality than the majority of other possible injuries sustained though.
No shit, Sherlock. But both of you are latching onto nonsense.
Injuries from bullet wounds on average are going to be more serious than injuries from being trampled on.
Sad but not surprising from the US. I have to admit, that with these sort of events now, I don't even look to find out all the details as they seem to happen so regularly. I've started to become numb to them, and will never understand why things are not changed so that these type of weapons are not available to the public.
Holy feck!! Just heard about this. What kind of a fecked up being does something like this?
This is terrorism by the very definition
In excess of 10 rifles.
Is it?
What if the guy has just lost big in Vegas after a massive coke binge and has just fecking lost it? Is that terrorism by the very definition?
The shooter took his own life according to the sheriff.
Here's the actual USC on domestic terrorism. Another posted that Nevada has a different definition.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2331
18 USC 2331(5)
(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

Fair enough, I've certainly misunderstood the term then.
Yes, it is terrorism by Nevada law.
What a cock that Wayne Root is.
Good thing I did not mention that in my post.
But in the end every injury from this mass murder was caused by the gun and the bullets.
The casualty number keeps rising. 400 wounded feck me.
I hadn't realised the festival was on the other side of Las Vegas Blvd, that's a long bloody way. I thought it was right next to Mandalay.
People who get huffed up over the nomenclature debate miss the point entirely.
Browns? The 2 brothers in Boston were white.
There we also thoughts that it might be drug cartel related also. McVeigh was arrested something like 90 minutes after the bombings, stopped for a traffic violation, at that point no actual suspects had been identified.
The law enforcement net was probably a lot wider in the early hours then the press reported. They actually were pursuing three theories initially. 1) Internation Terrorism. 2) Drug Cartel related (DEA had agents and office in the Bldg) 2) Domestic Terrorism.
Took something like 3 days until they tied the vehicle ID number from the truck and the people at the rental agency gave descriptions.

At a time like this some on social media are trying to advance their agenda by linking him as a Bernie supporter
10 guns in his room. At what point do American's think that letting people have legal access to an arsenal of weapons may be a bad idea? fecking mental.
Read again - OKC, never mentioned Boston. Muslims described as brown skin color were cited in the BOLOs.
Holy crap that's a long way. Has to be a belt-fed machine gun to cause so much damage at that range surely?
