Shooting in Las Vegas

So it does matter then.
No actual identification but initial BOLOs were seeking Muslims with brown skin color. I was in Texas and I remember everyone going nuts. This was something like two years after the initial WTC bombing, and not too long after Khobar Towers bombing. Islamic terrorism was gaining ground in the media and minds.
I know but for some reason American and English people sees all the Muslim brown/black or even the Hispanics when is not true, Bin laden was white for example.
NO it doesn't stop being a shit cnut.
Yeah, looks closer in videos. Looks more like that spot of land just to the left of Luxor. Probably just the building being bigger than you expect.
Yeah we should wait and see if he's just mentally unstable or has some sort of affiliation / agenda before the labels come out.
thats why I was asking. Are automatic rifles capable of shooting that distance? I genuinely know jack shit about guns other than it hurts to get shot
Awful news.Just watching the news coverage and they said its the deadliest mass shooting in history. So many lives have been ruined forever because of the actions of one evil person.
What is if he is a nutter on meds?
It's terrorising but does the intention matter?
This is why people are unsure on how to label it as it were.
What's odd is that in your own words you "couldn't care less" about this incident and yet you still took the time out of your day to come in this thread and tell everyone that. If you truly don't care then you can easily demonstrate it by not posting in here.
I fully understand people who say they're not surprised by this, mass shootings being horribly common in the USA, but comments like yours are completely unnecessary.
Some guy who was at the concert is on CNN claiming he was agnostic and this incident convinced him of god.
He had to make sure we all knew how superior he was to the rest of us who still care.
No atheists in the fox holes (except for the actual atheists who are in the fox holes) or something like that. Could easily work the other way around, could really make one not believe in a god.
Most of these things can fire about 350-450 metres (effective range). If you want to know the details just google the gun he used and the term "effective range".
Terrible news, there is need for some form of control on arms because people shouldn't just find it this easy to commit mass murder.
Makes sense.
I have 6, most are shotguns but this guy if has a mental problem and with a pilot license he could used a airplane as a weapon which would be worse.
Has any motive been established yet?
If the suspect had 8 pre prepared loaded guns, then this was obviously pre meditated, and not a coked up gambler who was mad because he had just gambled away his life savings.
If its pre meditated, its highly likely the shooter is wanting to make a point through his actions. Hence its most likely terrorism, by any definition of the word.
RIP to those who died.

And that's where I'm kinda getting at. I don't understand how death and destruction can be around, you survive, and that makes you believe in god. Surely it should be the opposite. Or am I being logical/rational in my thinking?
The pictures of him I have seen make him look Native American
Tell that to the french
Yes, it just wouldn't be very accurate. Bullets quite literally raining down everywhere into the crowd. Probably impossible to judge where/when to run.
May I ask why you need to have 6? Am curious.
Sorry person on CNN, moron of the day already went to the shooter.
Try again tomorrow.
Guns don't kill people, people do. The guy could have as easily have thrown knives at a couple of hundred people. From 300 ft.
Am I doing this right?
Most people I know have multiple weapons (not just one)....for no apparent reason other they can.
Err...allow me to rephrase. Most people I know who happen to own a weapon have multiple weapons.
Not sure myself either.
Probably not, people can run away from planes.
Doesn't seem like the economically depressed type either:

Vast majority of “lone wolf” gun massacres in the US are premeditated. Arguably all of them. There’s even a phrase for it. “Going postal”. Because of a disgruntled ex post office employee who murdered a load of people he used to work with. It usually takes planning to carry something like that out. Absolutely no reason to assume premeditation = linked to terrorist agenda.
WTF? I mean really WTF? I mean I know 9-11 and a few cases of pilot suicide, but let's be real here and there are far more cases of mass shootings then attacks made with peopel flying planes into crowds or buildings.
Actually when white people kills blacks its called racism and when black people kills whites its called a murder.
Well technically he could still be native american....but yeah.
What a fecking appalling reply.
Difference between France and the US is that France doesnt have as long and as consistent record of mass shootings as the US does. The last 5 mass shootings in France all being motivated by terrorism. The US has mass shootings at schools, public and civic events. The school mass shooting record in the US being particularly horrendous. The US has a serious problem and people such as yourself use the most pathetic arguments to deflect from that. Your comment about Pilots being as equally pathetic and cowardly argument to use.
at 10pm they will not see that coming
I said he could had used an airplane and as far I remember using cars as weapons for terrorism is something new and easy to obtain unlike an airplane which he would need a license to pilot at night.
