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.

    And some clown who kills more than 50 people by randomly shooting into a crowd from his 32nd floor hotel room isn't "obviously psychologically disturbed"?

    ...so it doesn't need to be re-stated.

    Hope that helps.

    Not at all. AC's "obviously psychologically disturbed" comment was related to Islamic terrorists and had nothing to do with last night's shooter. My comment was related to last night's American terrorist and had nothing to do with Islam.
