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.

Don't care. If they're trying to kill Americans or supporting people who do, fuck them. They want to discuss politics, we can do that. They want to kill people, we can do that too. Extremely well.

TMB embraces the SJWs!! Who woulda thunk it :D
Snark aside, the solidarity these horrors create is at least a tiny bit of silver lining. Sadly it is so easily manipulated into further screwing us over.

Because discussing politics with the US worked so well in the past. If you're lucky, US will prop up a *nice* dictator.
The US fucks with entire regions for decades, and when the natives finally snap and start hitting back, the US goes all "fire and fury in righteous anger", misrepresenting retaliation as unprovoked assault.
They're wrong, but that doesn't make you right. You in particular, TMB, seem to be as bloodthirsty as any warlord.
