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.

    The invalid form key is an interesting bit, it seems to come and go. I went traveling and using my phone abroad I never ran into the form key problem, but back in the US I get the problem almost constantly on my phone, and often the only solution is to copy my text and re-post very quickly. If I can get the comment submitted within 5 seconds it seems to always succeed.

    So, is the issue SN shitty code? Or are ISPs / gov fuckery to blame? The NSA is able to crack ssl sessions, so I wonder if SN traffic is just targeted, or perhaps its just specific users. Given the comments on this site it seems likely a vast majority of users here are on watch lists.

    Full blown tinfoil, SN was a spin off honey pot to catch "extremists" and this is part of why there is so much partisan garbage and trolling, see if they can find the users who are likely to flip out. Same thing for Voat. Damn, shoulda saved some foil for my chicken, now its gonna dry out :(

    Are you using tor? Someone said the invalid form key error is from the changing of IPs that tor does every few minutes.

      It has been suggested before that if you are using TOR, then go ahead and compose your comment in a text editor and, when you've got that all ready, call up a comment page and cut & paste your "brilliance" into the dialog box.

      There, GP. That wasn't so fucking difficult, was it?

      ...and, GP, just how difficult is it to cut & paste from the rejected tab|window|instance into a fresh copy of the comment page?
      Jeez. How whiney can you get?

        I am not using TOR, but who knows what fuckery my cell provider does.
