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.

"ideas that led to the shooting in the first place."
Which ideas? I've not seen a single statement alluding to the shooter's ideas.

The ideas don't matter! What matters is what we do now! How can we spin this to our political advantage Madam Secretary? Oh I see, more of the same BS.

According to some news I saw this morning, the shooter's father was a convicted bank robber (multiple robberies) and also made a successful jail break, lived under an assumed name for many years until caught.
