A gunman fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night, in a brutal attack that is blamed for at least 58 deaths, police say. In the mass shooting and panic that ensued, 515 people were injured. At least one of the dead is an off-duty police officer who was attending the concert.
Editorializing: Interesting how media always emphasize ISLAMIC terrorists, but downplay domestic terrorism as psychologically disturbed individual lone-wolfs.

It isn't about excusable. A right wing terrorist is USEFUL to the Narrative, left wing terrorist are a danger to eliminate and Islamic terror is far too useful for the right to allow to have excess airplay. Yes the people in the media, the Blue Checkmark Mafia, etc. really DO think this way.
All "news" is viewed through the same lens, as raw material feeding into the media machine to be ground up and formed into the Narrative. It is all about the politics. Always.
Just an aside, notice how fast HRC hit twitter asking everybody to abandon politics and fight the NRA? Is she that oblivious? Bet the media will bury it. Watch for it.

I'm confused, HRC is saying fight the NRA and you're saying the media will bury it? I thought the media was a left-wing conspiracy and the narrative is all about removing guns from the population, thus they would be more likely to highlight HRC's tweets.
Are you mixing up your online personas again?

I'm saying that was so over the top full retard that the media will bury it because it so obviously counter productive. They will push control in the coming days, but not so incompetently.

Or perhaps the media will simply ignore it, because she's not relevant any more.

So, definitely a democrat, with a fairly strong chance of at least some connection to Islam.
Tim Kaine, the losing VP candidate, said to fight in the streets. It's happening. After the Steve Scalise shooting and the Antifa bike lock attacks and now this, it is clear: the left is willing to murder the right.
