Active shooter at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas...

[Hawkeye]

I can only imagine the chaos this mus have caused in the Las Vegas hospital ER's. They had to have been overwhelmed.

I agree. Apparently ANTIFA sees it otherwise. I don't think the shooter fits the typical ANTIFA profile though, at least from an age standpoint. Like T. Lex said, they may just be using it for "marketing".

Quite of few of the ANTIFA in that age range. Many of the left-over hippies never really grew up and they still need a place to hang out where they feel important.

Prayers for the injured and the dead. Prayers for the families, first responders, etc.

Finally... Prayers for our country that we don't mistake tragedy for opportunity.

IIRC the left-wing-nut who fired on GOP congressman at baseball practice was in that age group.

NBC now reporting that the shooter shot himself.

My hat is off to all the first responders and off-duty medical personnel coming in to help with the mass casualty situation-those are never good and a cluster to manage.

I only watched one video and the irregular but steady tempo of fire made me think he used a gat crank. Maybe had the gun on a tripod or something.

With all the video I still am unable to see any flashes from the muzzle. Shouldn't we be able to see muzzle flash?

Good point. I realized there were some in that age group that may be sympathetic to their cause, but most of the footage I've seen of the "active" members (demonstrations and whatnot) were younger. Any speculation at this point though is just that... speculation. It will be interesting to see where the investigation leads as to motive, if anywhere.

Well, you can bet that the left-wing media will do everything they can to avoid that connection.

If this was an attention seeker, then the media needs to stop publishing his name. Make him anonymous. If you want to publish details of his life/background so we can being to try to dissect his sick mind, fine, but leave his name blank.

Sometimes these idiots get glorification from the tragedy.

Even if this guy is dead, someone else will see it as a way to enshrine *their* name in infamy.

Prayers going out to those affected and for our country.

I am wondering how much his girlfriend was involved in this? By the evening news, I'm sure we will all know.

She's in another country, apparently.

No, probably not on phone video.

Mythbusters did a thing on this.

IIRC, the shooter was at 200m and a "normal" load was very hard to see during the daytime. They had to use a "Hollywood" load to be clearly visible.

Now, at night, obviously, it would be easier to see with the human eye/brain, which can focus incredibly well on a specific spot. At 500m, cellphone video would be hard pressed to clearly show the flash with other light sources all around.

IMHO.

Agree.

The "street-level" antifa we see caught on video certainly tend to be younger, at least it seems that way to me...but someone has to be funding those little street warriors, and older people tend to have better access to funds and materiel. There could well be merit in this line of thinking, but I don't want to be too quick to lay blame on antifa until there is proper cause to do so. Part of me just doesn't want to see this as political violence brought from one group of Americans onto another.

BBC reporting that there were an estimated 22,000 in attendance at the festival.

Wonder what kind of security Lollapalooza will have next year.

I wonder how far in advance the room was booked, and whether that specific room - or one on that floor, in that wing - was requested.

Another mass shooting in a GFZ. When will we learn we have rights. And the ability to fight back. I hope this is not terrorism. Chance are it was. time will tell.

Mandalay Bay is not a GFZ. Was the concert?
