Apparently ISIS claimed the attack saying that the attacker converted to Islam months ago. I would take it with a grain of salt though

Wow!  Yea that IS something you can't always believe in initially due to past situations but it's interesting. It just felt too broad, to me, to be just some guy shooting like a madman BUT that's happened before. It's insane. Be careful out there, my friends!!!

It was a country music festival.

Saw a few witness videos and my heart just breaks every time.  Everyone running and ducking for cover... :(

It was a mass murder. I think that can be defined different ways, in my opinion.  There's bigger things to handle right now than the definition of terrorism. That wasn't my intention.  💙

I understand, just don't want confusion to spread, that is all :)

Apparently there are a few reports that there are multiple sites, multiple shooters, but there's no confirmation.

Only one shooter,. He had 10 rifles in his hotel room.  He shot thu the window at the Mandalay Bay overlooking a concert at the MGM Grand .    50 reported dead so far 400 injured....was a retired resident living in mesquite nv ...

The shooter lived in a 55+ community in Nevada. Residents shocked someone from there could do this.

And when a muslim attacking someone leftist people attack people calling it terrorist attack and now they are the first ones to call it a terrorist attack. People make no sense to me :smh:

 

 

It makes perfect sense. If this white guy turns out to be a Muslim convert, he will be immediately called a terrorist, BUT is being Muslim enough? 

In that case no one will say, wait we don’t have a motive yet, we don’t know if he had terrorist connections, we don’t know if he was radicalized, if he was schizophrenic, it could be mental illness, right? At least majority won’t. Mainstream media won’t.

 

This was premeditated. The shooter chose a concert just like Manchester arena bomber. There is no way this is some deranged shooting out of jealousy or whatever. 

Whether he is right wing or left wing, it doesn’t matter, he should be called a terrorist. Trump’s response is also very telling.

Before it was known who the shooter was, Twitter was full of “Muslim terror” fake news. 

If the shooter was black who liked BLM related pages on Facebook, he would be a called terrorist.

 

One thing is for sure, no one who looks like (or has the name similar to) the shooter has to worry tomorrow that they will be labeled and harassed or even killed because of this case.

Condolences to families of the dead and injured.

I heard he's a crazy Trump hater and that's why he targeted the country festival in particular but I guess nothing is confirmed yet. I just hope this doesn't give the Alt Right a reason to target liberal and anti trump people  :saladga:
