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.

    I probably would too. I support the home team when someone is trying to kill members of it, their reasons be damned.

    Yup, as would I. I would also probably bang little boys and goats, wipe my ass with my left hand, and send my 12 year old wife to the shed once a month. But I'm not from there, and it wouldn't make any of those things right in my eyes. And I thank God every damn day for this.
