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.

His social media looked pretty much like that of the shooter who went to the congressional baseball practice and hit Steve Scalise: all sorts of Bernie stuff, following Rachel Maddow, the "not my president" stuff, etc.
His wife did travel to UAE, so there's that, but she wasn't covered up and she seems to have gone alone. This probably isn't directly Islam, though Islamophilia could play a role.
After the election, losing VP candidate Tim Kaine said to fight in the streets. It's happening. Mao said that power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the commie types are taking it to heart.
It didn't take long after this shooting before numerous liberals (teachers and a news executive even) were expressing hope that it was all Trump supporters who were killed. Note that the target was a country music event, stereotypically the type of thing that might attract Trump supporters. No doubt, this was political. The left is violent.

Look it up. It is all true. Some of the evidence is here: https://i.redd.it/n5le2zvuqgpz.png [i.redd.it]
Tim Kaine really did tweet about fighting in the streets, and his son got arrested for doing just that.

Based on the comment to which you are responding, it appears that you are claiming that a Dumbocrat is a Leftist.
Heh. You're funny.
Oh, you were serious?
In that case, you're just plain ignorant.
Tim Kaine is a Wall Street lackey.
There's absolutely nothing Anti-Capitalist about him.
If you're taking your marching orders from Tim Kaine, you're being led down a Neoliberal pathway: exported jobs; austerity; ridiculous student debt; tax cuts for the rich; etc.
You'd need a -really- thin feeler gauge to find any space between a Neoliberal Dumbocrat and a Reactionary Repug on the Left-Right axis.
Probably on the Authoritarian-Civil Liberties axis as well.
