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.

    Correct. If I were a beating man I'd bet on Leftist terrorist, but I'm not. Coincidentally I have never felt the need to visit Las Vegas.

    Only someone on the political right would be beating on a leftist and calling them a terrorist.

    As for betting, I don't have any reason to visit Las Vegas. No desire to beat bet. I grew up there decades ago when it seemed cleaner and nicer. I've seen every sob story there is of people coming there, losing everything, and crying about it. Let's do some more gambling today to make up for what we lost yesterday!

    Like Joshua says on Wargames: the only way to win is not to play.

    What happens in Vegas, stays on YouTube.

    And if I were a burning man, i'd beat that it was a Rightist, but mostly I would want some one to put me out.
